This week, American businessman, billionaire, and possible future owner of the Los Angeles
Dodgers Stan Kroenke flew into London in order to publicly express his full support of Arsene
Wenger. Arsenal's board of directors has had some interesting topics to discuss, which include, but
are certainly not limited to: Robin van Persie's future with the club, Arsene Wenger's future with
the club, and the monies to be spent this coming summer all of which impact public perception of
Wenger in one way or another.
Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has advised his club against buying rising star
Marco Reus. The 22 year Borussia Mochengladbach player has been the centre of attention for a
number of clubs including Arseanl who had shown an interest in him early last month.
Surprisingly, the reason why Schweinsteiger is opposed to Reus's move is because Reus is a
direct rival for his position in the team.
We stuttered early on in the season but since then we have had some decent results. This is not
altogether too far off from the Arsenal's season. I am talking, crucially, about me and the lads
trying to find a decent boozer to call home for games at the Ems after we got a free transfer from
our previous drinking establishment.
Brady on a bike! The tabloid transfer-o-meter haas been cranked up a notch this morning in the
papers with speculative stories abound pertaining to the team supported by venerable leader of
Cuba, Fidel Castro (apparently he is a long-standing Gooner).
A quick run through the tales that have made the back pages to kick things off this morning and
first up we have the yarn doing the round that Theo Walcott is now a top target for Barcelona boss
Pep Guardiola.
Robin van Persie came off the bench to score twice for Arsenal in their 3-1 win over Stoke
City at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.
Gervinho scored his first goal in front of his home crowd to put the Gunners ahead midway
through the first half, only for the Potters to reply through Peter Crouch's close-range effort a
few minutes later.
Arsene Wenger has told Bolton they can keep Gary Cahill, if chairman Phil Gartside and manager
Owen Coyle maintain their stance that his initial offer for the player rumoured to be £6m is
"derisory".
The claim comes after AW and Gartside had a bust-up after the latter triggered the row by
retweeting a message from a Bolton fan on his Twitter account, which accused the Gunners of
‘taking the p***' with their offer for the defender.

Much like the government, a lot of the talk round Downing Street has echoed that of what has
been spoken about round the Emirates in recent months; Youth policy. What are we going to do with
the kids?
Since the arrival of Wenger, Arsenal have placed youth policy high on the agenda.
Samir Nasri could be flogged by Arsenal after an apparent row with manager Arsene Wenger.
Manchester City are willing to pay £22m for the French midfielder, says the Mirror. The redtop
claims he was left "brooding" at home on yesterday as the team flew to Portugal for today's
friendly against Benfica.
