Samir Nasri has officially signed for Arsenal, I don't think it was ever really in doubt but it's
nice that the deal has now been concluded. Nasri signing surely means that Alex Hleb is about to
depart for Barcelona. One can't help but feel that this is a good bit of business for Arsenal,
signing a very talented and hungry French international, while shipping out someone who has been
And I don't mean Gilberto!
Alex Hleb has finally left Arsenal. We get £11.9m for him and I'm glad that the saga is
finally over.
Hleb and his agent's conduct over the summer has been a disgrace. We don't need tossers like him at
the club, Arsenal are far better off without.
I won't deny I felt he was a good player but he has proved himself to be a slimy rat.
Arsenal progressed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League after knocking out holders AC
Milan in their round of sixteen tie. The Gunners overcame a resilient Milan side after two late
strikes sent the Rossoneri spinning out of European competition. It was Milan's first European loss
at the San Siro.
Arsenal stayed at the top of the Premier League after defeating London rivals West Ham 2-0 at the
Emirates. Early goals from Eduardo and Emmanuel Adebayor sealed the victory for the Gunners.
Elsewhere, Manchester United and Chelsea both won, with the Reds keeping pace only two points
behind the Gunners.
Many high-profile deals appear to be close to resolution and, according to the source below, Arsene
Wenger is about to get a nice chunk of cash for a wantaway star! Alex Hleb will be unveiled by
Barcelona today after completing his £15million switch from Arsenal. The Catalan giants will
pay ...
Arsenal suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Tottenham as the Spurs broke a
9 year winless streak against their bitter enemies in an emphatic fashion. The deserved 5-1 win was
the first time in 21 matches that the Gunners lost to their North London rivals, and was enough to
propel Juande Ramos' rejuvenated side into the finals of the Carling Cup where they will face the
winner of tomorrow's match between Chelsea and Everton.
Arsenal went to the top of the Premier League last weekend after defeating Manchester City and
watching Manchester United slip up at Tottenham.
The win took Arsene Wenger's team to 60 points in 25 games, 2 points ahead of last season's
champions United and 6 ahead of title-challengers Chelsea.
It has been over two months since Arsenal played out their last match, a one-nil win away to
Sunderland. The offseason has been rather tedious. We seen the departures of Jens Lehmann, Mathieu
Flamini, Alex Hleb and most recently Gilberto Silva while the future of striker Emmanuel Adebayor
remains up in the air.
Alex Hleb's dream was to play for Barca.
Ronaldinho dreamed of playing for AC Milan.
Deco dreamed of playing for Chelski.
Dani Alves dreamed of playing in the blue and red Barca shirt.
Arshavin's dream is to swap Zenit for Barca.
Ronnie dreams of playing for Real Madrid.
Drogba dreams of playing for a different team every week.
Second-placed Arsenal take on sixth-placed Manchester City this Saturday in the day's early
fixture. Arsene Wenger will be hoping to become the first manager to win at the City of Manchester
Stadium this season, as City look to break back into the European spots.
The stadium has become a fortress for City this season, seeing the Citizens drop only 6 points in
12 home games.
Arsenal went five points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table after
defeating a hard working Blackburn Rovers side. The win also ensured that the Gunners have goal
differential equal to that of Manchester United. Mark Hughes' Rovers failure to win any points saw
them slip down to 9th falling behind Portsmouth, who beat Bolton on Saturday.
Aston Villa travel to the Emirates this Saturday in order to face league leaders Arsenal in an
important clash for both teams. Arsenal will be searching for a full three points to stay clear of
Manchester United at the top of the table, while Villa will be looking to break into Europe by
taking at least a point from the Gunners.
Arsenal travel to the San Siro this Tuesday to face off against AC Milan in the return leg of their
Champions League round of sixteen match up against the Champions League Champions. Arsenal failed
to leverage their home advantage at the Emirates in a 0-0 draw, but the Gunners will take
confidence from their dominance of the home leg.
The Premier League's second and third placed sides will face off on Sunday as a day of giant
battles concludes. North London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea are separated by only two points after a
recent slump in the Gunners form, and the Blues could leapfrog the Gunners if they win on Sunday.
Manchester United, who sit one place and three points ahead of Arsenal, play Liverpool at Old
Trafford earlier the same day.
League leaders Arsenal host 16th-placed Birmingham on Saturday as the London giants look to stay
clear ahead of Manchester United at the top of the table.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions, having won seven and drawn
two. They have not lost a game in the Premier League since early December, and have every reason to
believe that their recent unbeaten run will continue on Saturday.
UEFA Champions League Champions AC Milan travel to the Emirates this Wednesday to face Premier
League leaders Arsenal in a clash of giants. Arsenal will be looking to leverage their home
advantage before a tough second leg at the San Siro while Milan will be searching for a few crucial
away goals.
Both teams suffered disappointing results over the weekend, with Arsenal on the receiving end of a
4-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester United, while AC Milan failed to score in a boring 0-0 draw
with lowly Parma.
As we reported yesterday, it seems that Barcelona is seriously looking at bringing in more top
talents from Arsenals roster. We've been hearing that talks include both Hleb and Adebayor, but
today the comments focused on Hleb. Barcelona vice-president Marc Ingla confirmed today that there
is ongoing communication with Arsenal for midfielder Alex Hleb.
Arsenal defender Bakary Sagna understands Alex Hleb's decision to leave Arsenal, but can't say the
same for Adebayor. He is optimistic about Nasri coming, but says losing Adebayor would be a
'massive loss'. "It's part of football...we also lost Mathieu Flamini, who was an important
player in midfield," Sagna told L'Equipe about Hleb.
Manchester United routed their title rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford to knock the Gunners out of the
FA Cup in the fifth round proper. The Luis Nani-inspired drubbing was only Arsenal's fourth defeat
in all competitions this season, and manager Arsene Wenger will be hoping that his team can bounce
back before an important midweek Champions League clash with AC Milan.
Arsene Wenger will be hoping that Arsenal regain the fine form that saw them defeat AC Milan at the
San Siro when Gareth Southgate's Middlesbrough side travels to the Emirates Stadium this Saturday.
Middlesbrough will have to pull out a major upset to do the double over Arsenal, but the Gunners
current league form leaves something to be desired.
The Sun reports that Alex Hleb has delivered yet another volley of abuse at Arsenal, the
Belorussian seems to have a huge amount of disgust for the Gunners, so much so that he is starting
to sound like a Spurs fan. Hleb uncorked a bottle of his finest ...

Adebayor...21 goals last season
2007/8 Review
The common perception of Arsenal's 2007/8 team is that they over-elaborated, lacked penetration.
Conventional wisdom says that this 'Playstation football' (as Tony Cascarino recently termed it)
cost Arsenal the title. The trouble is, there really isn't much evidence to support that claim.
With Barca set to have a couple losses from their amazing roster, they are now ready to deal for
some more superstars. Barcelona has contacted Arsenal saying they want to do enter into talks over
Alex Hleb AND Emmanuel Adebayor. DiarioSport says while an initial approach for Adebayor received
little attention from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, the [.
A long time since my last post, and not much has actually occurred.
Let's summarise events:
* Adebayor hasn't moved anywhere, despite skulking round the Nou Camp/ San Siro for the last month
wearing a 'please, please, please buy me, i'm easy' shirt on. He definitely wants to leave, let's
get that clear.
Alexander Hleb will fly into Spain today hoping to seal his transfer to FC Barcelona. The news
comes as no surprise to most as Hleb has been very public in stating his desire to leave London.
The Catalan club have stepped up their long-running pursuit the less-than-prolific midfielder since
their sale of Portuguese international Deco [.
I am writing this article with anger and rage directed against none other than our dearly beloved
piece of sh*t named Alex Hleb. One can understand that he needs to make a following among the
'Bark'lona fans, but that doesn't mean he barks about any thing he feels.I think we all are aware
of the dirty mud slinging politics played by the Barcelona directors.
Alexander Hleb the Belarussian play-maker was officially revealed in front of the hungry Spanish
media by Barcelona. Thierry Henry was also present at the event which saw Hleb kissing the Barca
Batch as though he was practicing it since he first kicked the ball. Its like, you play with your
dog, show him a piece of raw meat and you could make him do any trick in the book, with that look
in its eyes.
Alex Hleb is currently doing his medical at Barcelona to complete his move to Cattalunyans from
Arsenal for a reported fee of £ 11.9 million. The news of him leaving Arsenal to find a
quite heaven abroad were circulating since the end of the last season but now it appears a deal has
been brokered finally between the two clubs.
Let the excitement begin! For a few hours this afternoon we can go top of the league, and should
we manage that, with only 37 league games remaining only the biggest bah-humbug would write our
title chances off.
Ah, the joys and ludicrous expectancy of the opening day of the season. Are we in good
shape?
Sidwell to Villa-
This looks like a good move for Martin O'Neill who sees Steven Sidwell as a good replacement to
Gareth Barry if he moves to Liverpool. Also Villa will look to make a tidy profit if Sidwell moves
for the reported £5 million and Barry goes for £15 million.
Sidwell always didn't look like he would make it into the Chelsea 1st team and will be chomping a
the bit to get some 1st team action at Villa.
