It’s all about Sol Campbell today as the ex-Arsenal defender announced he’s ready to get rid of the ‘ex’ bit and rejoin the club where he became a star. But sentiment aside the question remains: is this a good move for us? I weigh up the pros and cons of Campbell’s inevitable signing below. Pros [...]

by Andrew Weber on February 3, 2009

Just a very quick one this morning to say that Andrei Arshavin’s move to Arsenal has gone through and is likely to be confirmed today. Terrific news for the club. All the details here.

There’s only one thing worth talking about today and that is the shock signing of Mikael Silvestre from Manchester United. The French defender has signed a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee at Arsenal - thought to be around £750,000 – and will wear the #18 shirt at his new club. I have to say that [...]

Although only a pre-season riendly, last night’s impressive 3-1 win over Stuttgart suggests that things are ticking along quite nicely for Arsenal. The game marked the debut of new signing Samir Nasri and Arsene Wenger gave the Frenchman as well as a host of other senior players their first pre-season runouts. The starting team included Manuel Almunia behind [...]

Hello there again. Today is of course Monday and that means my first post for week. It’s been a massive weekend too so sit tight for a moment to digest everything that has been going on in the world of Arsenal. Saturday night saw Arsenal start their pre-season campaign with a 2-1 win over Barnet. The boys [...]

Can you believe Arsenal are back playing football this weekend? I can’t. It seems like forever since I got to watch the boys play. Sure, there was Euro 2008 to fill the void between now and then but it didn’t quite compare to the feeling I get when I watch an Arsenal game. I’m not [...]

Hleb had the following to say about leaving Arsenal for Barcelona: “I want to give my best for this club. I have realised a dream. [...]

I don’t usually post on the weekends unless something really important comes up. Obviously this weekend it has. That’s right, Samir Nasri has finally signed for Arsenal. The attacking midfielder agreed to join Arsenal from Marseille on a long-term contract on an undisclosed fee. Typical. While it’s certainly not as unexpected as, say, Eduardo’s signing [...]

I love Fredrik Ljungberg. Always have, always will. Maybe not as much as this guy (get ready to laugh) - but I still love him and nothing that he says or does in the future will change that. While Dennis Bergkamp was the player who got me to start watchin Arsenal, Ljungberg was the man who really [...]

It’s been surprisingly rainy in Brisbane today but despite that I’ve had a quite a decent day. I hope you have had one or are going to have one too. Kicking things off today are some confusing comments from Alex Hleb about his proposed transfer to Real Madrid/Barcelona/Inter Milan/No-one Really Cares FC. The Belarussian has [...]

First things first today I just want to say a big ‘thank-you’ to all the Aussie Arsenal supporters who left their comments on yesterday’s post - they were most appreciated. Cheers also to the other supporters around the world who left their thoughts as well. It’s amazing to think this blog has readers from Mexico, France, Switzerland and South Africa [...]

With the official confirmation on Saturday that Alexandr Hleb will be leaving Arsenal and the almost official confirmation on Sunday that Samir Nasri will be joining the club, it’s been quite an interesting weekend for Arsenal supporters. I could go on and on about how much I think Hleb’s agent has acted like a twat over [...]

Just a quick post today with little going on in the world of Arsenal. Everything seems to be focused on Manchester United’s Champions League win and at the end of the day I guess that’s fair enough. Quite a good game too by the way. Somewhat predictably, the transfer of Samir Nasri from Marseille to [...]

According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, Marseille’s Samir Nasri will be an Arsenal player by the end of today. The word on the street is that Nasri will arrive in London early this morning (Wednesday) with the intention of undergoing a medical and signing on at Arsenal for a fee worth something around ₤12.5m. As I [...]
