Significant happenings in Arsenal, not only in the last week but the last 24 hours...
David Dien makes return
For all those who haven't heard of him, he was the face of Arsenal for years (Mr. Arsenal) until
his falling out with the Arsenal board this past spring, over reports of fueds regarding foreign
takeovers. Dien pulled himself from the board and from all positions with Arsenal with a promise to
sell his 14% share.
A strong side will no doubt be displayed by the Americans as they travel to Sweeden for their
friendly, tomorrow August 22nd in Goteborg's Ullevi Stadium. A European strong group with 15 of 19
coming from the premier European leagues. The only 4 US players being Donovan, Mastroeni, Ching and
Bornstien. The Americans will try to reverse a trend of US teams getting hammered across the pond
by elite European internationals.
It's been awhile since I've blogged on this so let's play some catch up shall we?
Transfers
No matter who has transferred or who will transfer (there are still three weeks to go in the
transfer period) this will always be known as the 'Thierry Henry' transfer summer. For me, a die
hard Gooner, who wore '14' when I played footie in honor of "his greatness", I was incredibly sad
to see him go.
Sorry no one's posted here in a while. I'll need to catch up with the guys and see what the deal
is. For Eddie Johnson fans, I apologize, but this is going to be me ranting about how useless he
is.
EDDIE JOHNSON
I sat down last night to partake in the Kansas City vs. New England game with a virtual soccer
hard-on.
