Arseblog does its best to shift Ade Emmanuel Adebayor is following in the footsteps of Michael Owen
and his ultimately successful advertising brochure with his own promotional leaflet. The

The infamous Michael Owen brochure has already provided much fun this summer. First there was the
brochure itself, which was undeniably hilarious. The fact that Owen actually secured a move to a
Big Four team does nothing to diminish that hilarity. Then came the spoofs. In yesterday's Daily
Dose we linked to Arseblog's very nicely [.
It was back to training today for the players, or at least most of them, as pre-season began in
earnest ahead of our first warm up match against Barnet in eleven days time. You can take a look at
photos here, and while we shouldn't read too much into the first day back, they do raise a few
points:
- Rumours that Vermaelen is short are wide of the mark.
According to Arseblog's sources, Swiss centre back Philippe Senderos has completed a move to
Everton. The news isn't surprising though. Just days ago, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger recently sold
Kolo Toure to Manchester City citing 'too many centre halfs' as the main reason for letting him go.
Arsenal fans have been losing patience with Emmauel Adebayor for a while. The temporal Togo striker
who is the subject of interest from AC Milan, has long since infuriated Gooners by his lack of
enthusiasm for making his talent be put to good use on the pitch.
So the guys at 'Arseblog' have come up with their own 'Michael Owen style' brochure for Adebayor,
to try and attract some interest for the striker.
Another excellent piece of journalism by perhaps the best blogger out there at present as
Arseblog delves deeper into the boardroom kerfuffle at the Emirates.
It looks like the gloves are coming off and the relationships between our biggest
shareholders are going to be increasingly tested over the next little while.

Sexy Liverpool WAG!
I like Cudicini I do. I knows he's not only a spud but an ex-chav as well but I've always liked
him. I thought he was a great keeper, admired the way he handled things after he was shit on at
Chelsea, and how could you not appreciate his gift to Henry at Highbury?
Being on a somewhat different planet for over a week now I've had a relative abscence of news in my
life and what I have seen has arrived by way of Arsenal-related blogs.
This Sunday sees the biggest game of the season so far. Arsenal host leaders Chelsea and the
stakes are high. Arsenal can cut the lead to just 5 points with a win and with a game in hand we
could soon close the gap even further.
Not only that but the 4-1 home defeat at the end of last season still burns and the players and
fans will want revenge.
Having a doomsday prophet like Alisher Usmanov who believes that only he can save Arsenal
becomes a drag after a while.
He does not get that his money is unwelcome and so are his suggestions through a surrogate that
David Dein was never adequately replaced. As Arseblog correctly points out Usmanov offered a rights
issue; very different from direct funding.

Hullo there, happy Friday to you. This week appears to have gone by a bit quicker than I had
thought it would. Or than I thought it was going when I stopped to think about it. Which is
good.
A few bits and pieces around so we'll crack on. England U21 boss Stuart Pearce has played down
reports that Arsene Wenger and him had a massive falling out over Theo Walcott.
The first North London derby of the season takes place this Saturday and Arsenal fans and
players will be desperate to put the agony of last year's 4-4 draw behind them.
Tickets, as you would expect, are like gold dust but Arseblog, in association with Emirates
Airline, has not one, not two, but three pairs of Club Level tickets up for grabs exclusively to
Arseblog readers.

Having returned from London last night I can now safely say that if I see another beer ever
again it'll be too soon. Well, ever might be too strong. Certainly until Wednesday.
What a fantastic weekend though. The Arseblog 5-a-side tournament took place on Saturday
afternoon and the Green team, captained by yours truly, fought off the jet-leg, the hangovers and
the fact we were playing away from home, to triumph over the reigning champions the Whites, as well
as the Blues, the Reds and the Piss Drinking Yellows.
Last week Theo Walcott was appearing at the Nike North London 5s (which were almost as skillful
as the Arseblog 5s, I'm told), and Arseblog managed to get a few minutes with the man himself.
The questions posed to him were provided by helpful Arsebloggers, some much less helpful than
others, I should point out.
Arsenal's players and coaches are a little over 24 hours away from the biggest game in their
young careers and yet, it's the business end of the club that's receiving all of the press.
As I reported on Saturday, Stan Kroenke is now the largest, no wait, the mostest shareholder
having purchased some 4,000 shares from the Carr family and pushing his total up to just over
28%.

Now that I've gotten my Chelsea hatred off my chest I can focus in on some squad news.
First, a huge blow as Bacary Sanga has been officially ruled out of tomorrow's match. I held off
reporting this until I could have it confirmed as I don't want to instill panic, but now that the
Dot.
Right, so. A little earlier today, but I have a very busy morning organising people, arranging
things, and being places, so it's going to be a very quick one today.
Firstly, I would like to publish a minor correction: yesterday's game is in fact today, as you will
probably know. I don't know why I thought it was yesterday, but there it is.
'Arsenal sign Ajax stopper', screamed the Sport.co.uk headline on NewsNow yesterday evening.
Taking a leaf from the book of the BBC and Sky Sports they claimed to 'understand' that we'd
sign the Belgian (cheers all!) defender Thomas Vermaelen for £10m in the next 48 hours. Then to
add extra credence to the story they threw in some quotes from Tony Adams about how he wasn't tall
enough.
So long and thanks for the fish!
I'm told that Philippe Senderos has signed for Everton, done deal (and I know he's at
the stadium today).
I think it's a shame he's going and his departure means we probably need another defender now.
Best of luck to Philippe at his new club.
Afternoon all. I though I'd jump in for a few thoughts after today's 2-1 win against Atletico
Madrid in the first game of the Emirates Cup. It's certainly nice to bag a win in the club's first
preseason match at home, and there were a few encouraging signs. A few takeaways to toss out
there:
- Rosicky played 45 minutes and looked solid in doing so.
The Gunning Hawk brings you in advance the Wikio rankings for this month, known as the most
influential blogs in the UK blogosphere. Having made the rankings in January 2009 in position 105,
it was a rollercoaster of ups and downs as we went from 50th to 33rd and then down to 57th last
month.
But, we are delighted to now be in position 24 and thrilled to see so many Arsenal blogs in the
list.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis revealed it's time for this Arsenal side to start and
deliver, as fighting for fourth place and not winning trophies is not enough.
Speaking in an interview with the Arseblog website, he said:
Fundamentally we believe in the squad that Arsene has been developing.
A brief statement on Arsenal's website updates RVP's status. He will be traveling back to London
this week and resuming his care with the Arsenal medical staff at London Colney.
They also confirm the 6 week convalescence period.
Elsewhere in the Arsenal blog world:
Arseblog mentions, the silver lining is the pretty straightforward series of fixtures till Xmas
other than Chelsea and Liverpool (both clubs have their injury woes too).
