Blog Post: It is really only Thursday?

Thu, 5 Feb 2009 08:13:06 +0000

Is there any news? Nope, there's nothing new floating about at all. Arshavin is moving his girlfriend to London. Which she's probably pleased with. Who knows. Gazidis is happy to stay at Arsenal, which is also good seeing as he's just arrived.

Wed, 4 Feb 2009 06:23:18 +0000

After a whole month of spelling his name Andrei, Sky Sports quickly changed it to Andrey after he was officially confirmed as an Arsenal player on the Arsenal.com. It just goes to show how complicated the whole transfer process can be w...

It is believed that Arsenal have made a signing, although the press black-out regarding the matter has left it hard to establish exactly who it is. Unsubstantiated rumours hint that it could be Zenit's Andrei Arshavin. It is believed that he will arrive at the Emirates...

Blog Post: Another Two Points Dropped, Another Two Players Crocked - And it Could Have Been Worse

Sun, 1 Feb 2009 07:00:00 +0000

Toothless. That's what we were against a West Ham who came to do nothing but defend and try not to lose. How many saves did Robert Green make? One I think, and that was one I could have made. Adebayor, again, gave no indication that he was going to score anytime...

Blog Post: Suddenly Arsharvin Doesn't Seem Quite So Blah Blah Blah

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 07:00:00 +0000

Ok, so it hasn't 'officially' gone through, but it's closer than I ever thought it would get. When Sky Sports asked Dick Advocaat if they could film Arsharvin at their training camp in Dubai they were told he wasn't there, when...

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 09:20:32 +0000

There is zero, zilch, nada about that hasn't been said a million time. Here we are the day before a match against West Ham and there's nothing. Perhaps there'll be more during the day, and if there's anything that breaks i'll try and do a better blog later when I...

Ok, so the plan for this blog went like this - Watch the stream of Everton V Arsenal, write blog, post in moring. The reality went like this - Watch live stream in bed on laptop, fall asleep, have to go to work at 5AM. Oops. I'm sure you'll forgive me just this...

Blog Post: I Love the Smell of Uncertainty in the Morning

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:00:00 +0000

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 07:00:00 +0000

OK, so Saturday's fix of football didn't quite leave me satisfied so it is with excited trepidation that I look forward to the match at Everton on Wednesday. Arteta should be back just in time for us so it's another great opportunity for us...

Could we have stepped it...

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 08:41:16 +0000

Anyone else think it'll be an easy day at Nininan Park? No, me neither. To be fair, I don't think it would be easy for any Premier League team to play Cardiff away in the FA Cup, but that's what the football gods have given us so on with it we must go.
