    <description>We start off this morning from a cloudy, shitty waterford with the news that Barcelona president Joan “cunt face” Laporta said that he has respect for arsenal and then taps up Fabregas.
    &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
          He’s been talking about Cesc, saying:
        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;blockquote&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://topgunnerblog.wordpress.com/cesc-fabregas/plexw.html&quot; title=&quot;Cesc Fabregas Arsenal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cesc Fabregas&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;has the Barcelona DNA in his body and we know that he wants to play for this club. At the
            moment he is the leader at Arsenal and a very important player for them. But Cesc is wanted by me, by the coach Pep Guardiola and by the sport director Txiki Begiristain.&lt;/em&gt;
          &lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;em&gt;We are concentrating all of our efforts on it, but at the same time we have a lot of respect for Arsenal.&lt;/em&gt;
          &lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;img width=&quot;348&quot; src=&quot;http://topgunnerblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/xinsrc_05207051709191873026513.jpg?w=348&amp;amp;h=250&quot; alt=&quot;This is cunt face standing with a cunt bag&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; title=&quot;This is cunt face standing with a cunt bag&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;blockquote&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              He looks like a sleezy shitbag to me, Im going to blow in a minute if I dont get off this subject so&amp;nbsp;I will leave it there with fatty mc cuntyface.
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              On to some transfer news about the brazil hardman Felipe Melo, we know there was little chance of him joining Arsenal because he signed a 1 year extension with Fiorentina but what was
              also interesting was that they made sure they announced there was a buy out clause along with the extension.
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              To be honest I would have liked to see him with an Arsenal shirt on but you cant really blame Fiorentina for trying to get the most out of&amp;nbsp;their player, his agent said this morning
              &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=goal_agent_felipe_melo&amp;amp;prov=goal&amp;amp;type=lgns&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#FD5A1E&quot;&gt;he is staying at
              Fiorentina&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; until after the World Cup. Hopefully he will have a shit world cup and be valued at €750,000 and then, and just then may Arsenal buy him but&amp;nbsp;it looks
              doubtful.
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              Good news that Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere have signed new long term contracts with the club, It would’nt suprise me at all to see the 2 of them out on loan next season, as much
              as&amp;nbsp;I am happy I still think Wenger needs to buy a man in midfield, and&amp;nbsp;I mean a big, bulky, awkward, clattering, take no prisioners son of a bitch and I will be happy.
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              No doubt there will be more transfer news on Arsenal and I will post it as soon as it breaks.
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              And by the way whats the deal with Micky Owen to Man Yoo, I cant get my head around that one, i better not say too much because the bastard will probably score 30 goals and be top
              scorer.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
            &lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;
              Im going to add a pole because I want to know your opinion.
            &lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/blockquote&gt;
        &lt;/blockquote&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;

    <title>Arsenals Big Derby</title>
    <link>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/arsenals-big-derby</link>
    <guid>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/arsenals-big-derby</guid>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;
      Hello Gooner
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Ok where do i start...... ill start by saying im dyin in bed with a cold, i have a wet towel over my head and afetr drinking about 473......
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      I have to admit I get really excited before every Arsenal game and the more I build myself up to the game my expectations gets the better of me and i get disappointed and i swear to myself i
      wont get excited for the next game but I always do...
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      OK now for the football, now i know we here this alot but it&#039;s a big game for Arsenal to keep up the pressure on Aston Villa for fourth spot.&amp;nbsp; I cant believe all Arsenal fans are satisfied
      if we get 4th spot, we should be challenging for the premiership and all major trophies...
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Arsene Wenger seems optimistic about getting fourth spot;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;&quot;In football, nothing is unthinkable, but I am confident we will make the Champions League,&quot; said the manager.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;There are 12 games to go, if we keep our consistency, spirit and
      attitude, and our focus, we will make it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;We have built a very young team, which is unbeaten since the start of November. Let&#039;s keep doing that and continue to improve, keep our spirit and we will have a great spirit at Arsenal
      Football Club.&lt;br /&gt;
      I never consider failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;If you look at the fixtures, there are a few teams who have difficult fixtures. It is down to us to be consistent. We have 36 points to take, so let&#039;s not speculate too much on the weakness
      of any other team. If we win our games, we will be there&quot;.&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      I think Arsenal played well against Roma because they played with no defensive midfielder and left Denilson and Diaby pick up the pieces.&amp;nbsp; As much as I think Arsene Wenger is a genius I
      cant believe the latest thing he said about Niklas Bendtner..
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;&quot;I feel he is doing well,&quot; said the Frenchman. &quot;He is 20 years old, playing at the top level and creating chances. The problem at that level is if you don&#039;t create chances.&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;&quot;He wants to work, he is becoming very professional. Before he was a little bit easy-going. He realises now what it takes to be a top-class player. He works very well and for me he has a
      bright future.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Ok he might only be 20 but Fuck off and sell him to Accrington Stanley (who are they), he probably wouldnt even start for them.&amp;nbsp; Wenger should sell Bendtner and buy Kalou from Chel*a and
      start getting a big quality SQUAD.&amp;nbsp; We have enough going forward I think but I was very very impressed with Havard Nordveit for Arsenal, he is Norwegian central defender who is only 18 and
      is very an excellent defender who reminds me as a young Vidic who will probably be long term succesor to william gallas.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Right thats it for now...
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      More tomorrow after the big derby.&amp;nbsp; Come on The Gunners
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

    <title>Big Game Tomorrow for The Gunners</title>
    <link>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/big-game-tomorrow-for-the-gunners</link>
    <guid>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/big-game-tomorrow-for-the-gunners</guid>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;
      Hello to all thee Arsenal Fans,
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      This is my first blog since the 12th of Feb, im in great form now that i can write my opinions, I broke my index finger and tried to type but the pain was unreal....
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Now there was alot of news that i have missed and was dying to write about but couldnt, I am absolutely buzzing about the arsenal game tomorrow and the thoughts of seeing &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;&quot;OUR SAVIOUR, ANDREY ARSHAVIN&quot;.&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      However, on a more positive note Arsene Wenger has said that&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Andrey Arshavin&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;will be involved&lt;/font&gt; against Sunderland. He said:
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;blockquote&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;
        &lt;em&gt;I have not decided what I will do with him yet. He is still working on preparation and he is not qualified for the game against Roma so we can give him another week of hard work.&lt;/em&gt;
      &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;All I can say is that if &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Arsene Wenger&lt;/font&gt; starts &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Eboue&lt;/font&gt; instead of &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Arshavin&lt;/font&gt; there must
      be something wrong.&amp;nbsp; I think maybe &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Eboue&lt;/font&gt; and &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Bendtner&lt;/font&gt; must have an embarassing picture of &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Wenger&lt;/font&gt; and
      are blackmailing him haha.&amp;nbsp; That is the choice,, &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Eboue&lt;/font&gt; or &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Arshavin&lt;/font&gt; that is only 90%. Well I know my choice and I think most of
      the&amp;nbsp;Arsenal Supporters are the same.&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Another option for &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Mr.Wenger&lt;/font&gt; would be &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Nasri&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;on the right flank and&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Vela&lt;/font&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;on the left.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Vela&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;has impressed especially on Monday night&#039;s demolition of Cardiff.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      More frustrating for&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Wenger&lt;/font&gt; is that the news of &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Eduardo&lt;/font&gt; will be out for up to 2 weeks, that is unfortunate news because he came
      back Monday night and added a bit of spark to a much needed Arsenal squad.&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Wenger&lt;/font&gt; said
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;“Eduardo is out for two weeks.&amp;nbsp; He picked up a hamstring injury two minutes before I took him off. What a nightmare. Nobody knows how it happened but I knew straight away after the
      game it would be a two-week job. It is nothing like he had before but I do know that little set-backs like this are part of being nine months out. After that long out, nobody plays six months
      on the trot. It is impossible. But at the same time it is a blow because, of course, he can score goals. He had shown that on Monday night.”&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      A minor setback like this was probably expected because he was out for so long.&amp;nbsp; It would be probably be next to impossible to see Eduardo come back from such a long spell on the sidelines
      and not pick up little knocks, it&#039;s only natural and hopefully he can come back to his best and score some crucial goals.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Thats about it for today, leave comments and ill try reply, thanks all.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Till tomorrow, Come on the Gunners

    <title>RUSSIAN WILL NOT MAKE DEBUT AGAINST CARDIFF + RVP THOUGHTS + EDUARDO</title>
    <link>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/russian-will-not-make-debut-against-cardiff--rvp-thoughts--eduardo</link>
    <guid>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/russian-will-not-make-debut-against-cardiff--rvp-thoughts--eduardo</guid>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;
      Good day to you all
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      I&amp;nbsp;usually post a blog everyday and after games but i cant even mention the Sp*rs game, ill just say Eboue was shocking what he done and now finally everybody can see he does&#039;nt deserve to
      wear the&amp;nbsp;Arsenal jersey, he does&#039;nt have the talent and i dont know how Arsenal are paying his wages.&amp;nbsp; Aahh i feel better now after getting that off my chest, now&amp;nbsp;news about
      people who can actually play soccer.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Unfortunately Arsenal&#039;s new Russian playmaker Andrey Arshavin will not make his long awaited debut against Cardiff City in the FA Cup on Monday 16th of Feb.&amp;nbsp; The Russian international was
      an unused substitute in the North London derby at Tottenham on Sunday but he is ineligible for the Cardiff match because he was not an Arsenal player before the date of the first tie against
      the Bluebirds.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Arsenal drew 0-0 at Ninian Park on Sunday, January 25 while Arshavin completed his transfer from Zenit St. Petersburg to Arsenal on transfer-deadline day - Monday, February 2.&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      Arshavin WILL be eligible to face Burnley in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup should Arsenal beat Cardiff in their Fourth-Round replay.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Some news on Robin Van Persie is that he thinks&amp;nbsp;Arsenal’s run of 11 games without defeat is not good enough.&amp;nbsp;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;“In the last three Premier League games we have had three draws and that is just not good enough,” he said. “It’s six points missing.&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      “If we had those six points...,” he went on before interrupting himself. “But this is if, if, if.&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      “We are working hard but we know we are not there yet. We are not scoring enough goals and we are not playing well enough. But everyone is staying positive and we are trying to help each other.
      The basics are there, it’s just up to us to finish it off now.&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;RVP was also talking to sky sports news, he said &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;&quot;he is confident that Arsenal can enjoy a strong finish to the season but has admitted that things
      are &#039;not really working&#039; at present&quot;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Slaven Bilic who is the current Croatia boss says &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;&quot;Eduardo is back to full fitness and will play for some part of Wednesdays friendly against Romania, he is ready to play
      in the elite level of soccer like we all know he is capable of doing&quot;.&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Im glad to see Eduardo coming back to full fitness, while Rosicky is 3 weeks away, Fabregas will hopefully be back for the game against Roma as he is desperately needed,
      Walcott is not far away aswell which is excllent news and arshavin to slot in the team aswell.&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Finally i think Arsenal have a sturdy enough back line with Clichy, Toure, Gallas and Sagna,&amp;nbsp;i dont have a notion as to who Wenger will play in midfield and up front when everyone is
      fit.&amp;nbsp; Its about time though arsenal will have a strong enough squad because whoever Wenger does not pick to play he will be on te bench.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Thats all for today.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      More tomorrow Arshfans.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
      &amp;nbsp;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

    <title>DERBY DAY HAS FINALLY COME</title>
    <link>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/derby-day-has-finally-come</link>
    <guid>http://www.oleole.com/blogs/gunnerblog/posts/derby-day-has-finally-come</guid>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;
      Morning all
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Today is the big day for north london derby, a huge game that promises to be a fiery encounter.&amp;nbsp; We should be in for a goal fest going on the last couple of derbies.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      We are now a massive 8 points behind Aston Villa because of their run of form, nothing more than 3 points will do today, i think arsenal are more likely to pip chelsea for fourth which wouldnt
      be bad seen no champions league football for chelsea.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      There are fresh reports today coming out of the camp nou that &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Bacelona want to buy Adebayor, cesc and Robin Van persie&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;which is absolute
      bollix and wont happen.&amp;nbsp; The reports are saying &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;are offering arsenal cash + hleb.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      In more reports about arsenal cming from th &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;daily mail is that if arsenal fail to make he spot for chmpions league football next season those 3 players will hand in
      transfer requests.&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Im sorry now but whoever is writing this shit must be running on stupid.&amp;nbsp; In my opinion if they left together it would be the end of titles
      and silverware.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Another player who in my eyes is really underrated is &lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;gael clichy&amp;nbsp;who was talking to the times&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;and very professionly and honestly had
      admitted his mistakes this season&lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;saying&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I gave them their third goal at a time when we were playing fantastically well. If we’d won 4-2, as we should have done, everybody would have said we were good enough
      to win the title. Unfortunately, because of my mistake we dropped two points and the next day people started to talk about Arsenal not being strong enough to do it.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Its true that had we won that game things may have turned out a little different, as it was disappointing enough dropping points we went and defeated stoke, then a few
      games later we never got out of the traps against man city and villa.&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      They used the game at the&amp;nbsp;Emirates as a kick-start to their season not long after Redknapp arrived. Since then things have gone downhill for them and they&#039;ll be looking at today&#039;s game as
      a way of doing the same, boosting confidence and dragging themselves out of the relegation battle they&#039;re in.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      They are going to be up for this in a big way and we have to match them.&amp;nbsp; We have to match them in every department to get a good start so that will silence the Spuds fans, spuds always
      seem to get the first goal in these big games so arsenal 100% from the start is crucial and dont leak any easy goals.
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Thats about it im going to get breakfast cause im lazy and go the shops and get the paper and then football, football
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      Come on the Gunners

    <title>ARSHAVIN FITNESS UNKNOWN + GOOD NEWS ON CESC + RVP NEW DEAL</title>

    <description>Morning to you&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    We have alot to get through this morning, It is still unknown if the 10 league fixtures will go ahead because of the blanket of snow covering England. There is 1 match sure to heat up the
    premiership with the North London Derby tomorrow. We were waiting on the fitness of Eboue which i don&#039;t know if its good or bad news but he has declared himself fit after miraculously hobbling
    off in last weeks game against West Ham.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    On the good hand Wenger has giving his backing to an under firing Adebayor, Wenger says&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;em&gt;Adebayor has a good record against Tottenham, he is the man for the derby day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    Hopefully Adebayor can get his scoring boots back on and help arsenal beat their hated enemies spu*s. This game is a huge game for both teams for 2 different reasons, arsenal need 3 points to
    close the gap on Aston Villa and Spu*s are still flirting dangerously with the relegation zone just 1 point above it.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    On another note the fitness of arsenal new boy is still in doubt, with the Russian league ending late November arshavin is probably not match fit, but could be set for a role on the bench to give
    arsenal a much needed boost with his presence. Arshavin is only back from Russia last night sorting out his documents for his visa so he might be in line for a cameo appearance for 20, 30
    minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    Some other good news is coming from the cesc camp, with cesc doctor Ramon Cugat saying Fabregas might be fit ahead of schedule and be back for the Roma game which is huge news because cesc brings
    a creative spark that no other player could bring to the team and lets not forget that arshavin is cup tied in the champions league. It seems like the day cant better for arsenal fans where more
    good news is coming out of Ashburton Grove(Emirates Stadium), Robin Van Persie has broken his silence on a new deal and says,&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;em&gt;We have been in talks about a new contract for a while now, I have been in some of the meetings and the club knows how I feel about things. I am very ambitious and I know the club is, too. I
    know we have what it takes. The potential is here but we need to make the final step. I have an influence in that. I know that.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    RVP has been in fine form this season which is good that one of our strikers is not firing blanks, that&#039;s the typical arsenal way, if one striker is playing well the other is quiet so if arsenal
    can have their strikers firing on all cylinders they would be a force to reckin with.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    More tomorrow arshfans</description>
