It's that time of year when the new kit is launched and you need to get down to the Armoury to get your new Red and White (with a dash of an alien colour) shirt.

I've looked  on Newsnow and watched the new signings clock in. and I've decided I want a Podolski shirt.

So before setting out I thought I had better check Arsenal.

Cesc Fabregas is currently the victim of a media witch hunt, for accusations fired at him from yet another sore loser of a manager.. David Moyes and his average Everton outfit, were yet another victim of the Arsenal machine that is steam rolling its way through the EPL this season.. For all Moyes' crying and moaning about what he thought happened, Fabregas WAS NOT sent off.

How do you rate a player's performance in a game?

After our dismal second half performance against Spurs on Saturday, I thought to myself, how do I explain that outcome? Well, I cannot know what either ‘Arry or Arsene's role was in the dramatic change of fortune but I can offer an opinion on the players' performances, but how can I rate them meaningfully?

I'm not going to comment on the game..What's to be said? We all know what happened. I don't wish to go over it again.

What I do want to comment on is Cesc Fabregas and his stupid handball in the penalty box that lead to VDV's leveller..What was he thinking??

If that was Denilson or Diaby or Song, they would be getting crucified right now, am I wrong?

"I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow, so stand down Arsene".

That's how the lyrics of the song goes or something like that anyway.
Today someone called into the radio station I was listening to and said that their was 30% of all Arsenal supporters that attend the games want Arsene out and after Saturdays debacle it is rising.

I thought it was about time I awoke from my blog slumber and made an effort to put my hands on a keyboard, to be honest I felt like doing it last Wednesday after we beat the Marsh Landers, but although it was nice to beat the Spuds, the stopping of the gobbing off and text messages was more akin to scraping something unpleasant off the bottom of my shoe, they are just an unnecessary irritation.

How can everything go this wrong in the space of a few days?

A few days ago we were celebrating making mashed potato out of the swamp donkeys in a cup competition on their own patch. Tonight we sit with our head in our hands, knowing that with Chelsea losing we had the perfect opportunity to catch up to them.

After spending a few relaxing weeks in the sun, I'm still struggling to get up to date with all things Arsenal. Although it's still early days, the main two things that have caught my attention are the failure to purchase a new goalkeeper this summer, as well as the recent re-emergence of Theo Walcott.

Here we are, at the beginning of a brand new season and Arsenal are already screwed!

What do you mean, you two-toed tosser? It's the beginning of the new season, isn't it? It's wonderful! It's fabulous! It's stupendously knee wobblingly fantastic for goodness sake!

So here it is..

The new season is about to start and I think we would all agree that no matter what our take is on the strength and depth of certain areas of our squad, we are all grateful and excited that kick off is just around the corner..

We have a fantastic team with some world-class individuals and I for one can't wait to see the lads run out onto the pitch on Sunday.

Even with the collective relief of the Arsenal community that 'Cescgate' is put to bed for another transfer window, the nightmares of defensive performances of last season have not faded. The need for quality defensive reinforcements should still be a priority for Arsene Wenger. The Arsenal manager has more scouts working for him than what Michael Jackson had lawyers.

Written by Oliver..

Two days after returning to London, Cesc Fabregas issued an official statement in which he committed his immediate future to Arsenal. He started off by apologizing to us Arsenal supporters for not speaking out earlier, stating he had not decided what he really wanted to do until "this moment".

Lets face it, no matter what our thoughts were about Cesc throughout this whole saga-whether they were good or bad, there's not one Arsenal fan I don't know who isn't relieved to hear Cesc is staying..

He's one of the worlds best players, he's only just entering his prime years and he's our captain.

I cannot confirm nor deny anything. In the last six months, this story has made our lives difficult. At the moment, what is important is that when Cesc comes back, that he comes out. For me, I have nothing more to add. The conversations with the players have to be private because I cannot come out every time I speak with a player.

I have to admit I have had my doubts this summer over AW's transfer movements. The sheer lack of numbers that have come in to the club being out weighed by the numbers leaving, as well as the unproven quality of certain players Wenger has signed, left me scratching my head and wondering if the great man was starting to lose it.
