Thank goodness for the Sunday papers. So hellbent on printing shit they have focused more on Lionel
'I'm another Barcelona cunt' Messi's pleas to Cesc to join him at Barca and become the world's
greatest midfielder than our defeat at Sunderland. Not only is this yet another insult to Cesc, it
is another one to Arsenal and I for one can't wait to get them in the Champions League so the
World's greatest midfielder can slam their lack of respect into the back of their net three or four
times.

One of the television channels at Chelsea Football Club "Russia TV". Roman Abramovich must be

Russia. Russia had gone 2-0 up, thanks to a double from Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, however Slovenia

tie, especially with a crucial away goal.

With Dutch striker Robin van Persie operating as the focal point of a deadly 4-3-3 this season,
Arsenal have been nearly unstoppable.
But now, with the Dutchman out of action for 6 weeks because of torn ankle ligaments - of which he
is treating with new-age medicine including massage with placentas in Serbia, Arsenal are looking
for an answer.

Some nights Arsenal just click and it's beautiful to watch. After about five minutes we put
together a flowing, pacey, one-touch move which ended up with a Robin van Persie shot flying just
wide of the AZ goal. After that you knew Arsenal were in the mood.
We opened the scoring through Cesc Fabregas whose low shot scuttered between a defender's legs
and practically trickled across the line.

The rise of La Liga and its increasing appeal to foreign players can be attributed to more than
just Real Madrid spending money like a teenage girl with a trust fund. Everyone agrees that the
"Beckham Law", which allows footballers to pay almost half the taxes that normal people do, has
been a big draw, especially as the tax rate has risen in the UK.

And God said, Let there be beer. And there was beer.
And Arseblogger saw the beer, that it was good: and lo he did drink

And while God was off inventing firmament for the earth and fowl to

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce faces a battle to keep hold of star skipper Lorik Cana.
The Daily Mail says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has not given up hope of signing Cana, despite the
Albanian midfielder moving to Sunderland this summer.
Cana was tracked by Wenger last season and the Arsenal boss could make a fresh move next year.

In the summer, Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin tipped us off to Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, with
Edwin Van der Sar not getting any younger and Ben Foster battling injury.
Ahead of our match against Akinfeev's team, CSKA Moscow, Sir Alex Ferguson was asked whether he
was interested in signing the keeper.

The Champions League group stages are not renowned for providing scintillating, exciting
football and last night was no exception.
A rather dull game looked like it was going to provide Arsenal with three points but there was
an inevitability about AZ's late equaliser. Ronald Koemen said before the game that Arsenal had
defects and although it took them 93 minutes to exploit one, exploit it they did.

With the Ballon d'Or nominations finally releasing this weekend, the headlines have mostly been
devoted to the fact that world champions Italy have no representation whatsoever. But why blame the
press for paying excessive attention to an irrelevant detail? After all, the award itself is
destined to be heading Lionel Messi's way, which means very little is there to be talked about in
terms of debating the winner, right?

Arsenal's hot goal scoring form continued as they added 3 more goals to their tally against

Morning all,
Arsenal moved into the top four yesterday with a good win over Birmingham, but it wasn't quite
as comfortable as we would have liked. We started well, pretty much bossed the game and it was no
surprise when in the 15th minute Robin van Persie put us ahead. Collecting a low, hard pass from
Alex Song his first touch was quite brilliant and his finish first class.

It is over.
There are those who claim the Interlull only truly ends when the real football begins but I
consider it done and dusted once the internationals are complete. And so they were last night. I
know Andrei Arshavin scored for Russia, and Aaron Ramsey's back held up enough for him to score for
Wales, but in terms of the rest our lads involvement last night I am clueless.

With just two World Cup qualifying matches left for just about every country, it's the last
chance for many countries to make a push at a spot in South Africa next year. Perhaps the best
match slated for this weekend is the matchup between Germany and Russia.

Has the transfer window opened again? I awoke to see the headlines about Arsenal being linked
to three players. Bolton's Gary Cahill just as a back up centre half, he could be just the answer
especially with Johan out until February with a knee injury, Song our other back up centre half
going to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Back in my prime, there was one method of scoring I never mastered, the heel-flick. I pulled the
move off in training many times, but in matches I made a fool of myself by whiffing on multiple
occassions. I really want to score on a heel flick in a meaningful match because it's just so
cool.
This week in the Champions League, three goals were scored on heel flicks.

On Wednesday, we posted a video of Andrei Arshavin's nifty (and very offside) back-heel goal
from the weekend. Apparently the play inspired some others to break out the back-heel tricks, with
two back-heel beauties highlighting Wednesday's UEFA Champions League action.
FC Porto's Radamel Falcao scored this gem:
FC Zurich's Hannu Tihinen delivered this flying, ballet-like game-winning back-heel to knock
off AC Milan:

As the Olympiacos team bus got closer and closer to the Finsbury Park area, I am sure veteran
goalkeeper Antonios Nikopolidis began to relive some of the greatest moments of his career at the

consistency during his club's league triumph over the last three years, Nikopolidis is no stranger
to success at a grand stage.
