Post image for Fabregas gone. Now onto how we can spend that money.

There’s a game on tonight but for some reason I am thinking about transfers. Cesc is gone — for those that missed it — for an enormous sum of money. Nasri is probably on his way too, to Manchester City, and that should only increase our transfer funds. But how will it be spent? Splashed [...]

Post image for Arsenal v Barcelona Preview: With a team this strong I fancy our chances

It’s Arsenal v Barcelona tonight and while you might think I’m stressed out about it, I’m not. I reckon we’re going to give them a hell of a game tonight and my goodness I’m going to enjoy it. I analysed this fixture to death last season and in the end my words were virtually useless [...]
