Inter and Arsenal could be about to enter negotiations for a deal that would see Mario
Balotelli swap places with Francesc Fabregas.

With the international breaks at an end for a fair few months now, Tottenham have an opportunity to
lock their collective mind on continuing their impressive progress in the Premier League. Wigan
visit the Lane tomorrow afternoon and as enigmatic as the visitors appear to be at times, Spurs'
slick passing should be more than a match for them and provided the strikers can locate their
specially made shooting boots, there could be goals in the offing.

The thing that we all knew happened: Henry is a fraud. However, in the
tradition of French smooth frauds he is someone who made it into an art; in his country the books
about thieves are popular.
But the ‘hand' is not the only thing that makes Henry what he is; it is
simply incredible how people in England or football fans in general forget all the things this man
did.

Gunners Today 20 November @ 08:50 PM EST
On recent evidence, probably not. If you came thinking this was going to be another intense post
after the previous one, I'm afraid it won't. Previewing a Sunderland match just doesn't have the
same amount of appeal as say, previewing, I don't know a match against Newcastle. Whoops. Cross
that out.

Thierry Henry. A contentious and topical subject if ever there was one.
Whilst the footballing world today recoils in disgust at the actions of the France captain, there
are plenty of misguided Arsenal fans who will be lightning quick to shout you down if you dare as
to utter a derogatory comment.

I'm iller today than I was yesterday and can hardly see straight to watch TV let alone put
something out there in a blog but after the reaction to Henry's hand I felt I had to blog. On
Twitter last night as I signed of for the evening I advised everyone to keep a look out for how
this would all be Arsenal's fault.

Arsenal players Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Andrey Arshavin, and Bacary Sagna have given up
their Gunners kits for a day to team up with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. The
four players got dressed up in furry animal suits as they filmed a promotional video for Arsenal's
Charity of the Season.

Isn't it typical, you wait all year for a horse story and then two come along at once. Like the
number 7 going up the Ormeau Road in Belfast, or whatever your local bus is that decides it's too
afraid to drive up a road on it's own so it'll wait for it's mate.
I'm still really sick, be prepapred for a hell of a lot more nonsense ahead.

Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has stoked the fires ahead of Manchester City's

by JAMES CURTIS It would seem the November injury curse stretches beyond just Arsenal playing
staff. This dreaded plague is now spreading among Arsenal fans too as I write this with a fractured
leg, sustained over the same weekend as Van Persie ruptured his ankle ligaments playing for the
Dutch against Italy.

Arsenal fans should not panic over Robin van Persie's shock ankle injury.
The Sun says the stats show Arsenal actually pick up MORE points when he is missing.
Arsene Wenger's side have won 70 of 126 games with the Dutchman in the side since his 2004 debut -
a win percentage of 56 per cent.

I wrote the following before I got the news that "Van Persie has torn his anterior inferior
tibiofibular ligament, and his anterior talofibular ligament has unfortunately snapped- hes out for
the rest of the season." No club confirmation yet, so let's hope this is just some little
journalist jumping the gun.

by JAMES CURTIS Despite the break from Premier League football this weekend there are still many
Arsenal faces in action on the international scene.
Whether this is a good or bad thing remains to be seen. Arsenal are notorious for sending
players on international duty in tip-top condition, only for them to be returned chipped, chinked
and cracked.

EPL Talk 13 November @ 02:05 AM EST
Gooners should be forgiven for indulging in optimism. With 36 goals in 11 matches, talk of Arsene
Wenger's gun slinging side has done much to impress, and you can sense the Frenchman is a few wins
away from making some sort of bold prediction, ala the Invincibles. To be five points from
leaders Chelsea with a game in hand, and especially with such a heavily-populated injury list, the
Professor must believe his seemingly eternally-young side has the best shot at a domestic title
since the Gunners' monumental collapse two years ago.

Last week, Stan Kroenke increased his stake in the club 29.9% and I'd like to speculate, along
with others, on what that will likely mean for the future of the club we all love. Mostly, I'd
like to respond to an article by David Tully that was posted on Football FanCast this past week.
Sadly, fear-mongering has been a great feature of this struggle for controlling interest in the
club initiated by David Dein in the wake of his exit from the club.

By Paul Williams The season is beginning to take shape now, everyone has played enough games for
the hopes and worries to be well set. So far the season for Arsenal has been generally good.
However, we are entering November – a month all Arsenal fans have learnt to worry over.
Today we take on Wolves and all sensible comment would suggest another three points, after all
we have only lost 2 games all season and the Manure defeat was, to say the least, undeserved.

From the management team of ABSC, we like to say a big thank you to all ABSC members and Arsenal

Without a doubt, Sunday's game between Chelsea and Manchester United is the biggest of the
season between the two clubs who have the best chance to win the Premier League title this season
(sorry Arsenal fans). So, it's no wonder that so much importance is being placed on this game. Not
that who wins will decide anything, but it will be a massive psychological boost for the winning
team and will show which club has what it takes to win the title.

Happy Friday to you all,
we should probably start with the news that Stan Kroenke is on threshold of the 30% which would
require him to make an offer for all the shares in Arsenal. We've watched him draw ever closer in
the last few months, his intentions remain very much a mystery. What you can say though is that
with the 100 shares he bought from Peter Hill-Wood what is happening is being done with the full
knowledge of the board.
Click to continue reading...
It's now or never for Arsenal Football Club. Â Stan Kroenke has been mopping up small
shareholdings over the last couple of weeks to raise his share in the club to 29.8%. He is a
fraction below the mandatory bid figure of 29.9%.
It was rumoured that he bought 100 shares from Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood; this is the
same man who famously said, "We do not need his sort at this club.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsenal fans are fearful for the future of the club after Stan Kroenke
increased his stakeholding to 29.6 per cent — just short of the threshold for an obligatory
takeover of 29.9 per cent, reports the Times.
Kroenke yesterday purchased another 427 shares in the parent company of the North London club
from the estate of Ernest Harrison, a British industrialist, at a cost of £3.

We here at COS Towers saw this and found it very amusing, and we are not even all Arsenal fans.
To be fair Tottenham were without two of their most crucial attacking influences in Jermain Defoe
and Aaron Lennon, not sure that will act too much as a comfort to the White Hart Lane outfit, who
are after all having a damn fine season whichever way you look at it.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Allow me to get a few things off my chest as we reflect on the total
destruction of the Haringey Pretenders with a highly convincing, highly enjoyable and ultimately an
easy-peasy 3-0 win at the home of football yesterday.
First, a quick memo to Robbie Keane who claimed that Harold 'Steptoe' Redknapp's bunch of
over-hyped, over-paid under-achievers were an altogether better squad than that of the glorious
Gunners.

That could have gone better. But I'll stand by my previous comments; Arsenal fans are generally
morons.
Essentially, we did badly. We did very badly indeed. But up until about 40 minutes in, it was
looking like a very close gig. We were defending both in numbers and extremely competently. Apart
from one or two hairy moments, Ledley King and Seb Bassong were doing a more than adequate job.

Enough Liverpool bashing has been done to keep me sated for a month now. There are only so many
Voronin jokes and beach ball jokes you can make before it gets a bit stale. Fortunately for us
Arsenal fans, fresh meat has arrived in the form of the scum. North London derbies are always a
special occasion (if you're an Arsenal fan all the more so, barring the one obvious time).
