Arsene Wenger fuming about crafty fag Arsenal captain William Gallas could face action from the
club after being photographed leaving a nightclub with a cigarette in his mouth. The French
defender was snapped driving his car with the fag in his mouth, although newspaper reports claim
witnesses said the cigarette was unlit (possibly the first time [.
Football ends for the summer and we have two months of transfer speculation, money-spinners
pre-season friendlies and the first act of league action across Europe (before the break for World
Cup 2010 qualification starts) to look forward to. A look at today's latest transfer rumors,
including some of the tripe from Sunday: Apparently some moron [.
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Birmingham but the talking point of the match was the disgusting
tackle on Eduardo da Silva by Martin Taylor. You can see the footage below that he wasn't
interested in the ball and had plenty of time to pull out of it. He received a straight red

Eight-goal thriller at the Emirates One of the greatest Premier League matches. Just an incredible
game - outstanding goals, the miracle turnaround Harry Redknapp seems to have started at Spurs, and
an unbelievable comeback. Sit back and watch the highlights in full. Darren Bentley's strike
inevitably grabs the headlines, but a fantastic goal from Jermaine Jenas too.
Imagine life without one of the following: Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea. The
English FA says it could happen. The FA is guessing that current debt for all of English football
is £3bn, with the top four clubs accounting for a third of that. But there's no [...]

The Emirates' Mr Popular is booed by his 'supporters' To use local parlance, Emmanuel Eboue had a
'mare against Wigan yesterday. He knew this, but just in case he didn't the Arsenal supporters
decided to let him know when he was substituted late in the game. The Ivory Coast international had
only come into the game [.
There's still no news on what Cristiano Ronaldo plans to do, but that should be coming sometime
today. So, thankfully for those who want a break from him, there's no Ronaldo spec in today's
transfer roundup. There is, however, Manchester United-related news, which I'll start with.
According to The Sun, Manchester [.

And so these two arch rivals meet again the fourth time in 2 seasons in this Carling Cup
competition and also at the same time, all in a live commentary and play by play soccer match
between North London derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. The first meeting in this year's
Carling Cup was the first leg of this semi final at the Emirates Stadium about two weeks ago, when
plucky Spurs did well to lead for most of the game before Arsenal's Theo Walcott snatched a
fortuitous equaliser near the end of the game, a goal which bounced off him unknowingly into the
net and which frustrated both Spurs manager Juande Ramos and the whole team.
Guess who's back? That's right, me and the transfer roundup. The season's winding down and the
rumors are heating up, so you'll be seeing me in this space regularly. Anyway, on to the good
stuff! If Mathieu Flamini had wanted to be at Arsenal, he would've signed a new contract by now,
wouldn't [.
If you're looking for a photo of Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas and Liverpool's Fernando Torres hanging
out with the fans, you need to click here. If you're looking for a collection of photos of women
(babes?) in various poses at the...
I'm still too bitter about yesterday's result to post any kind of post-match reaction. I'm sure my
fellow Gooners are a bit down at the moment due to the side's poor form so, instead of compounding
your misery with another negative post, I thought I'd boost it with some pictures of a few hot
chicks [.
There are several clubs who were left on the altar, so to speak, with respect to a few big signings
this summer. Liverpool lost out on Barry, Real Madrid lost out on Ronaldo, Chelsea and United may
still lose out on Robinho and Berbatov, Tottenham reportedly lost out on Villa (although to be fair
they [.
Arsenal youngster sees off the Latics I don't think I have used the word exquisite yet on Off The
Post, but I am going to now. Arsenal's young Mexican, Carlos Vela, scored an exquisite goal against
Wigan last night as he raced onto a through ball and deftly chipped the ball over both the sliding
tackle [.
Well, it's Friday again. The week's certainly flown by, hasn't it? Speaking of flying, who could be
flying to a new locale soon? Read on, and you'll find out. Could Liverpool make a move for
Valencia's David Silva? Silva's price tag is 20 million pounds, so it may be a stretch at [...]
The transfer window is open, and that means the rumors and news items are going to be flying off
the wire with blistering speed for the next month. The Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea rumors are heating
up now that both parties have admitted their undying lust for one another. Anelka, a man of
ambition, wants [.
Football is a team game, but it's amazing how much of an effect one individual can have on his ten
team-mates. Witness Jimmy Bullard's match-winning performance for Fulham against Aston Villa at
Craven Cottage yesterday afternoon. His return from a long-term injury has lifted everyone at the
club; it's no coincidence that Fulham struggled in Bullard's absence.
How to stick it to your former employers What a strike! The perfect opening to one of the greatest
matches in Premier League history. Check back tomorrow for highlights of the full match -
compulsory viewing!
All that most football managers really want for Christmas is a promising young player to emerge as
an established star in the coming year. As the game becomes more and more global and the wealth of
the bigger clubs increases, so too do the scouting networks of these clubs which now extend to
every continent and [.
Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has a list of players he wants to kick out, and it consists of eight
players: 'keeper Paul Robinson, Jermain Defoe, Pascal Chimbonda, Lee Young-Pyo, Anthony Gardner,
Paul Stalteri, Wayne Routledge and Hossam Ghaly. (The Sun) ...And on the other side of the coin
Rangers full-back Alan Hutton has yet again reached [.
Blackburn chairman John Williams has revealed that three clubs are interested in keeper Brad
Friedel. Aston Villa and Manchester City we knew - but now Arsenal have been thrown into the mix
for the 37-year-old American. Paul Ince is said...
Once the Euros wrap up tomorrow, you can expect a flurry of transfer activity to start happening
across Europe starting 1st July. We'll be there to cover everything (everything important, at
least), but today there's precious little to go on apart from some footballers confirming their
lack of intelligence and some managers confirming that [.
The July issue of the ever-informative World Soccer magazine has a great front page feature: The 50
Greatest Derbies in World Football. Unfortunately, the full article is unavailable online so you'll
have to get yourself to a shop and dip your hand in your pocket to read it. But below is the final
order WS decided [.
It's a new day and a new week, and soon enough, some big names could have new homes, if what's in today's transfer roundup is true.
Chelsea have given AC Milan permission to open talks with Didier Drogba, but strangely enough, they aren't willing to sell Andriy Shevchenko back to his old club.
Rumor [.
It's a pretty loaded day in transfer news and rumors, as there are several signings to report, and
there are a few more that could be official in the coming days. England According to BBC Sport,
Arsenal have all but tied up Marseille's Samir Nasri, as the 20-year old midfielder has reportedly
agreed a [.
Transfer speculation doesn't take a day off, and in such case, neither do I, because I like to
bring all the latest rumors and news to you. The Daily Mail says that Barcelona's Deco is poised to
spurn Inter for Chelsea for a fee of 15 million pounds, which could clear the way [...]
Arsenal are thought to be in the hunt to sign American wonderkid Charles Renken after the
14-year-old impressed at a trial with the Gunners. The teenage sensation is one of the hottest
young properties in the game and is also understood to have trained with Reading and German side
1860 Munich. Born in Zambia, Renken was adopted [.
The first big test for Arsenal saw Djourou picked at the back to partner Gallas ahead of Senderos,
whilst Eboue was given a central midfield role, a reversal of what Wenger did with Lauren, a
central midfielder converted to right-back. Adebayor was picked to lead Arsenal's attack
alongside Robin van Persie, whilst Samir Nasri made [.
So, the transfer deadline (August 31) has passed and the football market is now closed. Closed? Not
quite. Indeed, while transfers from one club to another will have to wait until January to resume,
teams may still sign players as free agents (and that until March 31, 2009). So, inspired from this
Top 11 Serie A [.
It's a new week, and there's plenty of transfer news from the weekend to go over in the Monday
roundup. Cardiff may have lost their chance at a place in Europe, but they could be on the verge of
a nice little cash injection from Manchester United, if they choose to accept United's [...]
Arsene Wenger never unduly spends money on big name players for the sake of it, he tends to think
long and hard and then plump for a good candidate to join his Gunners ranks, and it seems there is
one player nearing a move to north London. Arsenal are drawing ever nearer to completing the
£15m [...]
Thursday's transfer roundup has more questions than answers, it seems. Maybe Friday will bring
answers to the questions, or maybe they'll just breed more questions. Whatever the case may be,
it's on to today's news and spec. So, does Alexander Hleb want to stay at Arsenal, or does he want
to [.
It may be the weekend, but that doesn't mean the transfer rumors are taking a break. There's plenty
still going on, and while there aren't any deals to report in today's roundup, a few could be
imminent. Liverpool are reportedly preparing to make a big-money bid for Bayern Munich's Franck
Ribery, who [.
Young talents and Arsene Wenger go together like jam and toast (or something else that equally sums
up something that goes well with something else). The latest to hit the headlines is a player
likened to Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United and Arsenal have been alerted to the availability
of £8m rated Turkish superkid Nuri Sahin.
It has long been said that soccer is a young mans game and that the game seems to be getting
"younger" all the time. In a sport where you are old at age 30 and most likely finished
by age 34 there is a continuing emphasis on younger and younger players. Arsene Wenger at Arsenal
seems to be a master of knowing just when a young player is ready to step in to his first team
line-up, his nurturing and development of Theo Walcott just the latest of several examples.
Finally, we have some signings, because it can get a little boring talking about speculation
sometimes. Reports indicate that Chelsea have beaten Manchester United and Juventus to the
signature of Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic. Chelsea have agreed a 8.9 million GBP deal with
Lokomotiv Moscow for the 23-year old, who looked to be [.
I'll be honest, when I saw Eduardo go down, and the horror on the faces of his teammates I feared
the worst. When I saw actual images later on Saturday, my fears were realized. I wondered aloud
whether he'd ever...
As is the case with the weekend roundups, since it's the weekend, I'll try to keep it short and
sweet. Still, there are some good tidbits, so take your time. According to Alexander Hleb's agent,
the want-away midfielder is all set to leave Arsenal for another club, and that everything should
be sorted out [.
I apologize if your weekend flew by so quickly, but if it did, I hope you at least had fun. Now,
it's back to business, which means it's time for Monday's transfer roundup. So, Cristiano Ronaldo
says that there will be definitive news on his future in two or three days. [...]
