Milan was the venue for Arsenal's travelling support as they went to Italy to cheer the boys on
against a genuine European giant in AC Milan. Unfortunately, some of the travelling hoard managed
to take things a little too far, and there were nasty scenes before the game between fans and
police, after which one Arsenal fan was arrested.
There's a bloke named Winston who arguably has the "best job in the world" if
you're an Arsenal fan. For the love of Redknapp, who the hell is Winston, you ask? He works
exclusively in Arsenal's dressing room at the Emirates stadium, sits in the empty cubicle at the
far left (unoccupied by players) on match-day and ensures that the operations run smoothly.
From what I've read from Mirrorfootball's 'exclusive' is that an Arsenal fan group are planning to
put bin-liners on all empty seats in the ground, in the next home match vs Blackburn, to highlight
dwindling attendances... One problem with that chaps Arsenal play to a full house practically every
game.
Ducky's Note: 'Neutral' Arsenal fan Swaroop is back after a long hiatus (and with some spare
time from his proper-journalism course at Newcastle) to look at whether a handshake is such a big
deal and while we condemn the racism, we shouldn't stoke the fire by blowing up every little act
remotely related to it.
Key battles against Tottenham by KJ The most important game of the season is today. This is always
important to any Arsenal fan especially so where the tides have changed between the two teams.
Arsenal will always be top dog in London but we need to stamp our authority. We've done that
against Chelsea and [.
The first two months of the season were awful, the atmosphere was angry, unsettled and going to
watch the team wasn't at all pleasant. The atmosphere eased after a good run of results, putting us
well back into contention for the Champions League places.
A new year run that has yet to see us win in the league has heralded the return of that
atmosphere, a portion of the fanbase have been very forward with their views on the manager and a
few of the players an injury crisis has not helped matters either all in all, being an Arsenal fan
in the past few weeks has not been the most pleasant of experiences.

Time to upgrade his statue to silver
If you're a Arsenal fan today, you'll be buzzing. Nothing beats coming from behind and winning
by scoring in the final minute of the game. Especially when it's an away game and we weren't firing
on all cylinders. Especially when the winning goal was scored by one of the club's greatest ever
player.
When visiting a foreign land, it's important to locate their most iconic cathedral and get to
work on your day drinking right in front of it. And as seasoned European travelers, Arsenal fans
did just that outside Milan's Piazza del Duomo ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League
match.

Arsenal: The season that promised so little duly delivers - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
Cesc Fabregas was overtly forthcoming in his love and admiration for Arsenal as he left for
boyhood club Barcelona. His sentiments were admirable and no doubt appreciated by many an Arsenal
fan sympathetic with his situation, but ultimately it was of little consolation as their club lost
a genuinely world class player.
Many of you will now be aware of the Twitter row between cocky celebrity Arsenal fan Piers
Morgan and outspoken fringe player Emmanuel Frimpong that took place last night in the wake of our
2-0 FA Cup exit to Sunderland.
Let me make this clear very early: I detest Piers Morgan. I think he's a vile
attention-seeker.

After a pleasant drive up the A1 with the sun bursting through and illuminating the clouds of
smog over Middlesbrough, we arrived in Sunderland in plenty of time for a pre-match libation. The
William Jameson on Fawcett Street offered fine ales at rock-bottom prices, a combination few can
refuse.
The Champions League Round of 16 draw
NOTE: Due to a technical snafu, this post wasn't
published yesterday morning (despite my scheduling it). The post below was written on Sunday, prior
to any of the Champions League games. I must say, I hope I predict the outcomes of today's
(Wednesday's) games as well as I did Tuesday's.
Arsenal fans could cost the team 4th place. by KJ Last week has been one of the hardest as an
Arsenal fan for me personally. Not because we lost but because of the way we did. The team looked
gutless at times and there was no drive or passion. As a result from such performances [...]
Ducky's Note: A BFZ introduction is due to Chambo, our latest writer who we
presume thinks he is a combination of Chamakh and Ramsey. From that you must have figured that he's
now the 1325th Arsenal writer we have got, leading us very close to becoming
Big-Arsenal-and-a-few-others-Za.
