As if getting humiliated by Manchester United was not enough, yesterday we allowed Chelsea to score Arsenal's heaviest home defeat in the league since 1960. For many, impatience is now turning into frustration and for others, it is turning into anger.

For me, personally, it's still frustration, simple because not much changed since October/November when with Diaby and Silvestre playing we were totally outplayed by Manchester City away from home.

L'Equipe are reporting this evening that Arsenal Football club have made an offer to Bordeaux for their striker Chamakh, they say that Jean-Louis Triaud laughed about the concrete offer, and suggested that it was quite insufficient from a club of the stature of Arsenal. In any case the fact that he said that it was insufficient and not rejected out of hand opens the door to negotiation.

Champions League winners make themselves look like idiots..again!

Barcelona are said to have turned their attention to Cesc F bregas after failing to sign Javier Mascherano, the Liverpool midfield player. The Catalan club believe that an offer in the region of £25 million could tempt Arsenal to sell the Spain midfield player, who has expressed his unhappiness at the club's failure to win a trophy in the past four seasons.

Theo Walcott joined us on the back of much hype and controversy. Arsenal were prepared to pay in the region of £16 million (eventually he cost £9 million because we paid earlier than agreed). Arsenal beat Liverpool and Chelsea for the youngster's signature something that still riles Benitez.

Morning All,

There isn't a great deal happening in the wonderful world of Arsenal Football Club per se but today does in fact mark the beginning of an exciting yet equal testing week ahead for the club. Despite the upcoming games against Celtic midweek followed by those foul mancs, all talk still seems to be revolving around the Portsmouth Game (Rightly So).

Hello there,

I must apologise in advance this morning as today's blog is a bit of a cuntfest. There's no other way to describe it really. I shall try to temper the cunts with some non-cunts to decuntify things a bit though.

Firstly, Amazon. They've withdrawn the CD that was on sale after Arsenal's legal department got in touch.

What words do we need to describe the genius that is Cesc Fabregas and for the first time on Saturday, he seemed to be enjoying his football, and I do believe him now when he says that he wants to stay. Why? well the lure of the catalans is great, but at Barcelona, he would be one addition to the rank of mega personas that the Spanish giants feel necessary to accumulate.

One of the most striking things about the youth setup at Arsenal is the way that the "Arsenal way" of playing football is inculcated into the very fabric of the Academy structure. All of the players share the same vision and have one abiding common characteristic. A high degree of technical ability.

It has been a rough run of years for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal Football Club. The pain of losing Thierry Henry and a Champions League final could only be tempred by the high hopes affixed to Arsene Wenger's young Gunners. But then m...

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger revealed everyone is "delighted" with new signing Thomas Vermaelen, a player who can play in a number of positions at the back.

The Frenchman said:

Thomas is a great signing for Arsenal Football Club, and we are all delighted that he is joining us.

I've always believed that no man is above criticism but it seems one man, in the eyes of some, is immune from any type whatsoever.
People reading this post should not take it as a pop at Arsene Wenger, far from it, all I'm saying is surely the great man can be criticised. Can't he?
I love the man and everything he has done for Arsenal Football Club.

It is a fact that this Board has allowed key individuals on the board to make more money through buying and selling shares, than we have invested in over four seasons of player transfers. This is annoying as a die hard fan, as it just indicates where the priorities lie at Arsenal Football club from the current Board's perspective appear to lie.

Fight fire with fire, the expression goes. I have always argued that there is a basic anti-Arsenal undercurrent running through many of the unobjective media and some Football Administrative bodies. I have to ask myself why? To repeat a section of an earlier blog I refer you to the club statement released in response to Eduardo's ban.

Nicklas Bendtner has this week commited his long term future to Arsenal Football Club. Nicklas Bendtner, 21 whos contract was due to run out next year has put pen to paper on a deal. The last 12 months have been a very big year in Bendtner's development he is now getting more first team chances and is a cert for the Danish starting XI.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Philippe Senderos is not "starting again" with the Gunners after spending some time on loan with A.C. Milan.

Speaking ahead of tonight's game which will see the Swiss International making his debut for Arsenal, the Frenchman said:

I don't believe he is starting his career with us again because we know how good he is but it is a new start let's say.

There is only one big issue today, the news that Arsenal Football Club is now effectively owned by Stan Kroenke. I say this rather tongue in cheek, in that until all the shares are owned by Mr Kroenke, this is more a question of voting rights with the effective control of the club that is conferred upon Stan Kroenke by virtue of this shareholding.

Stan Kroenke has increased his stake to become the biggest single shareholder in Arsenal Football Club. Kroenke increased his stake in the club to 28.3 per cent by buying 4,839 shares from members of the Carr family, including fellow director Richard Carr

Kroenke has come a long way since acquiring a 9.

I am delighted to announce that Theo Walcott has finally signed a long term deal to kepp him at the club!

Walcott, who turned 20 in March, joined Arsenal from Southampton in January 2006, has already made a marked impression at the Club, racking up 103 appearances and scoring 14 goals.

Theo Walcott

Playing as a forward, or on either wing, Theo's Arsenal career truly ignited in the second half of last season with a series of sparkling contributions underlining the progress he has made since joining the Gunners as a 16 year-old.

The Arsenal Shareholders meet today to discuss all things Arsenal followed by a Gala Dinner. There may well be two notable absentees in the form of Alisher Usmanov and Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith. The question that should be on our lips is "Why do we need yet another rich tycoon to save Arsenal Football Club?

There is no doubt in my mind that Arsene Wenger will still be the manager of Arsenal Football club next season.
Despite his flirting with Real Madrid the job at Arsenal is still only half done and Wenger will not not leave in this way.
My mate is the same. He never does things in halves.

Recall the saying? any player that left Arsenal always regretted it because they never fared better than at the Home of Football? Well unfortunately for Arsene Wenger, Thierry Henry was the player who bucked the trend. His smiling face which was broadcast across the world as he held up the one trophy that had eluded him whilst at Arsenal will have spoke volumes to players who for one reason and another currently feel unsettled at Arsenal Football Club.

So, it's official, Thomas Vermaelen has signed for Arsenal. I am as excited to see him play as I am to see what other moves Le Boss makes this summer. I've never seen Arsenal act this agressive in any transfer market. They are almost always last to sign players, looking around for a bargain, and frustrating us supporters with their talk of how so and so can fill in at such and such position.

Hello all. I've been on a bit of a hiatus since June 2nd. Why, you ask? Well simply because there's been absolutely nothing to write about. I don't want to write about how we might sign a 16 year old Frenchman, or about how Cesc might leave, then the next day he might not leave. It's just boring.

Morning all and what a fine Saturday morning. No hangover and a new signing to play with. Well, you know what I mean.

Yesterday Arsenal officially announced the signing of Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen. Arsene Wenger said:

Thomas is a great signing for Arsenal Football Club, and we are all delighted that he is joining us.

Barca swoop for star but sources doubt his taste..

According to sources close to Arsenal Football Club, Spanish champions Barcelona have offered 45 million for captain Cesc Fabregas. Arsenal have accepted the offer and have given permission for their captain to negotiate personal terms with the club that Arsenal pinched him off at sixteen years of age.

The speculation presented in the Sun today is quite old news as Arsenalinsider informed you all of any likely impending Boardroom struggle back in July, when Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith was rumoured to have finally found a buyer for her shares. The 15.9% stake was always going to be the crucial holding in the final ownership direction, and there were only two players who were going to fight it out.

I hope I'm not making a mountain out of a mole hill here but I'm worried about our little darling Cesc Fabregas.
I hate to say it but I've watched him in recent games and he doesn't seem right. His body language and the way he is playing suggests that he either has things on his mind or he is just short of confidence.

Today Arsene Wenger becomes Arsenal's longest serving manager ever. 13+ years in the job he has gone past George Allison who is, I suppose, his Cliff Bastin to Wenger's Thierry Henry (I'm not forgetting Ian Wright, btw!).

He joined an Arsenal team which had been somewhat in the doldrums, although improving under Bruce Rioch, and essentially revolutionised the place.

Ted Harwood is a regular guest contributor to Arsenal Station. He lives in Chicago, IL, and has been an Arsenal supporter for the better part of a decade. Here, he follows-up on yesterday's Arsene Wenger-anniversary post. He also writes about movies, music, and other cultural artifacts on his blog, Running Downhill.

Ex-Arsenal captain Thierry Henry was speaking to Sky Sports News in a full interview in which he highlighted the importance for the club of Arsene Wenger, especially now that the 59-year old celebrated his 13th year in charge of the North London Club.

The Frenchman said:

Arsene has been tremendous for Arsenal football club.

It's now or never for Arsenal Football Club. 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.

Stock market laws should help delay what is looking almost inevitable - an Arsenal takeoverIn matters on the pitch, Arsenal Football Club find themselves in a pretty promising position right now....

By 1970's Gooner1989 was a historic year for Arsenal Football Club. It was the year that Arsenal won the League Championship at Anfield with that remarkable last minute, "up for grabs", goal scored by Mickey Thomas. It is now 2009, 20 years later and Arsenal have decided to celebrate that feat by also helping its chosen charity of the season, Teenage Cancer Trust.

Arsenal Football Club was plunged into a mini crisis upon the eve of one of the most important football fixtures, and what are we as simple fans meant to make of it?

The Arsenal Supporters Trust issued the following statement, careful not to identify the shareholder involved.

Stan Kroenke has increased his stake to become the biggest single shareholder in Arsenal Football Club. Kroenke increased his stake in the club to 28.3 per cent by buying 4,839 shares from members of the Carr family, including fellow director Richard Carr

Kroenke has come a long way since acquiring a 9.

PGL: Good morning Insiders and welcome to the TGIF Season Awards as voted by you, our readers! (How cheesy an intro was that? I should be wearing a Tux.) FTK and myself thought this would be a nice touch to bring the curtain down on a long season; it's always good to finish on a positive.
