This is what the new Arsenal home shirt for next season looks like, Arsenalinsider can exclusively reveal. As in previous years, we have been given the first sneak peak at how Arsene Wenger's players will look in the latest offering from the club and manufacturers Nike.

We've been right every time in the past and we stand by this image, such is the strength of belief in our source.

All Premiership clubs have to name their playing squad for the rest of the season at the end of the January transfer window, and Arsenal have released their list today. On the goalkeeping side, Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and even Vito Mannone are included but Wenger hasn't even bothered putting Manuel Almunia on the list [.

When I woke up bleary-eyed and desperate of coffee this morning my first thought was "Why do I wake up so early for the impending doom that is Arsenal?" I turned my TV on and was greeted by the image of Arsene Wenger walking onto the pitch and a great view of the skyline above the Emirates Stadium, leading me to think, "At least it looks beautiful out there.

Per Mertesacker won't be involved in Wednesday's Champions League tie with AC Milan,...

Arsene Wenger has been following the rise of Eden Hazard ever since he was a teenager at the Lille Academy in 2005, and it has always been assumed that Wenger would bring him to Arsenal as soon as he could. But now Hazard is 21 years-old and one of the most sought-after players in Europe, [...]

After that emphatic drubbing of Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal face a tricky trip to the Stadium of Light to face a rejuvenated Sunderland side who are currently eighth in the table, just seven points behind Arsenal. Sunderland have been in great form since the arrival of new boss Martin O'Neil and one could assume that the [.

On Saturday morning, I saw the list of potential managers for the England National Team now that it finds itself without a coach. The Euro 2012 is not too far away now, and the eyes of the world are on England, waiting to see who will take the helm amidst the international controversy. I couldn't help but wonder that Arsene's name was on the list, so I had to do a bit of digging to determine the probability of his being selected for the coveted job.

The board of Directors at Arsenal PLC are very happy to announce their £50 million profit today which added to their cash reserves gives them a mouth-watering £115 million in the bank to play with, but the Board are at pains to emphasise that this is NOT cash available to Arsene Wenger to bring in [.

Just a couple of weeks ago Arsene Wenger had a full team of players on the treatment table, but ahead of tonights game against Bolton the Arsenal injury list has reduced by half. Bacary Sagna may have only played a few minutes on Sunday, but it was a relief to see him back after three [...]

Sigh.

First of all, the Arsenal Offside would like to place its thoughts to the victims from today's awful turn of events in Egypt. A truly disheartening experience. Some things are bigger than football, and this was definitely one of them.

Typical Arsenal. A few days after a great comeback victory, a victory that had the potential to help turn our season around and put us on the right track (granted, it was a poor Villa side), we draw against an insipid Bolton side that is currently languishing around the relegation zone.

When Arsenal collapse in comical style, such as from 4-0 up to draw 4-4 with Newcastle last season, or conceding a goal seconds after equalising in the 3-2 defeat to Swansea, it feels fashionable to say "only Arsenal could have lost a game like that".

And there's something to it, to be fair, our defence has generally been the worst in the top four over the years, and we have a poor record in points lost from winning positions.

If there's one thing I've learned from the Occupy Wall Street movement, it's that all the protests in the world (bin bags, black scarves, etc) mean nothing in the face of the capitalist juggernaut.

Yesterday Arsene Wenger went on record saying that rather than buying Eden Hazard for 30 million pounds/euros (depending on which story you read), he had to show a fifteen to twenty million pound profit.

Arsenal are now just three points behind Chelsea in the coveted fourth place in the Premiership, so a win is an absolute must this weekend at Sunderland, but with the (perhaps more important?) Champions League tie against AC Milan coming up in midweek, Wenger will be considering his team selection very carefully.

It's now official, Thierry Henry will not be staying with Arsenal longer than Feb 15th. In fact the New York Red Bulls striker is expected back in the United States just two days later

There was hope that the veteran Arsenal player would stay with Arsenal until at least the end of the month but according to New York Red Bulls boss, Hans Backe, Henry is bent on returning to to the MLS side on 17th.

Park Chu-Young is a proven goal scorer. However, he needs a hell of a long leg to score from the bench, which is where he's been wasting away all season long for Arsenal. Chu-Young is getting fed up of watching games instead of participating in them and according to his agent he's ready to leave Emirates Stadium in the summer.

This game was definitely a big one for Arsenal. This would set the tone for a monumental season-defining week for the Gunners. There was a lot of build up to the game simply because of its magnitude as well this fixture occurring twice in two weeks. The first half saw good possession by the Gunners [.

Yesterday there were reports in Spain that Arsenal's Flying Dutchman had a controversial interview with Marca. He apparently said: "I am grateful to hear about the interest of a club as important as Real Madrid." For the Gunners it is definitely disturbing that their captain, Van Persie is so openly talking about the opportunity to [.

Lukas Podolski has been on everyone's lips for the last two transfer windows. Many wanted to see the former Bayern Munich striker at Arsenal as backup to captain Robin Van Persie in January. Unfortunately he decided to stay in Cologne simply to cement his position in the German national teams for the looming Euros this [.

So, the Milan game is creeping closer and, I must admit, I am getting ever more excited. An Arsenal win would be the perfect boost to pick me up in the middle of a fairly dreary week. I have been giving due consideration as to what side Le Prof might field. I think that we [...]

I admit that I have been rocked today by the news that Eden Hazard is clearly leaning towards joining Spurs in the summer window. As to why he would want to join Spurs, I have no idea. There is no doubting that Spurs have a good side, only a fool would refute that, but I [...]

A closer look at the Milan game... However painful it is to do, the Milan game must be scrutinised in order to understand where it went wrong and, thus, how we can improve in the future. One of the reasons, cited by many, is that Wenger got his tactics wrong. Many are incredulous about the [...]

"Realistically, we are out of the competition." Arsene Wenger.

Arsene Wenger described last night's 4-0 defeat as both "shocking" and the team's worst-ever performance in Europe, by far. One might wonder why Arsene finally chose to throw the whole team under the proverbial bus. Despite an inconsistent season that has fluctuated somewhere on the spectrum between mediocre and truly phenomenal, Arsene has remained resolutely confident that his team would inevitably surge, maximizing its intrinsic potential.

The Zambia striker Emmanuel Mayuka won the Golden Boot at the African Cup of Nations as he helped his country to win the title from Ivory Coast in the Final, and now his agent has revealed that he is being monitored by many top clubs around Europe, including Arsenal. The 21 year-old is currently playing [.

Arsenal's week has gone from bad to worse as their manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that central defender Per Mertesacker will be missing for a long period of time due to a serious ankle injury.

The latest injury blow comes at a very bad time for the North Londoners, who will also be without the services of their other centre back Laurent Koscielny for tomorrow's FA Cup clash with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Regular readers of this blog will know that neither of the two D words in the headline are those I ever use about Arsenal, or anything connected with this great club. Optimistic and defensive in the extreme, I'm not one for reactionary anger, at least inwardly (opposition and incompetent officials are a different story), preferring attempts to rationalise and find mitigating reasons for the bad days.

Arsene Wenger's spell as Arsenal boss is set to come to an end with the Gunners board lining up Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola as his replacement this summer. Arsenal were dumped out of the FA Cup after crumbling 2-0 to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday meaning that the Gunners' only hope for [.

Sunderland got revenge for last weeks League defeat by Arsenal by knocking the Gunners out of the FA Cup yesterday evening. The Black Cats had the benefit of a week's rest between games while Arsenal were getting battered in Italy and, according to Arsene Wenger, the tired legs obviously contributed to the weak performance.

The young Japanese star Ryo Miyaichi is enjoying his loan period at Bolton, and after being denied a goal on his 45 minute debut last week, the Arsenal loanee promised that he would score in the next game he played. The 18 year-old kept his promise with a brilliant individual effort for Bolton early on [.

The numbers simply don't lie: Seven years without a trophy. The worst Arsenal team in ten years. Arsenal appears to be in a state of crisis, but there are yet more questions than answers concerning any resolution. Arsenal fans are demanding to know whether Arsene had access to the fat reserve account, whether he should be the target of blame and villified or else forgiven.

It looks like the world depression and the supposedly up-coming Financial Fair Play rules have conspired to destroy Arsenal's so-called self-sustaining business model. The Gunners youth policy has led to Arsene Wenger signing up more and more youngsters in the hope that they will one day fulfil their potential and be sold off at vastly [.

Arsene Wenger must admit he has made a mistake about his vision for Arsenal to convince Robin Van Persie to stay with the Gunners. Reports today suggest Ivan Gazidis has told our Dutch ace that he is going nowhere in the summer even if he doesn't extend his contract which has just one year remaining at the Emirates.

Morning all. I'm going to start today with a question. How many times have you heard this debate?

"Arsenal have the fourth biggest wage bill in the Premiership, therefore should be finishing fourth."

"But we also have a lower net spend on transfers over the past six years than the vast majority of the league.

The young Arsenal right-back Carl Jenkinson was cruelly injured just as he was gaining a foothold in the Gunners first team back in October, but he finally managed to get 45 minutes of game-time under his belt in the reserve's 5-0 win over Norwich on Tuesday night. He is extremely glad to have come through [.

With Arsenal FC scheduled to take on archenemies Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium in their crucial league match on Sunday, their under-pressure manager Arsene Wenger has told his players not to feel sorry for themselves as such a feeling 'would be criminal' at this stage of the season.

Arshavin leaves and we need to replace him by KJ Arshavin has finally left Arsenal in what could be a permanent move come the end of the season. It is a blow for the Gunners as we won't get a like for like replacement because all transfer windows are closed. However, this does open up [...]

Andrey Arshavin has moved back to Zenit on loan and that means £80,000 off the wage bill. That's if the list of wages Arsenalinsider has been sent is to be believed.

The bulging paypackets for players such as Sebastien Squillaci (£60,000-a-week) and Abou Diaby (£50,000) are astonishing as are the huge amounts being paid to backroom staff.

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 [.

Hi everyone,

It seems like we're on a bit of a hiatus. I'm super busy with work, a new baby girl (Arsenal onesie is ordered!), and my duties as a board member of the Vancouver supporters group, the Southsiders.

Martin has limited time because of work, Darren is too depressed because of the sad state of his other love, the Edmonton Oilers, a terrible Canadian hockey team, and JG recently announced his intention of marrying Sr.

In the wake of Arsenal's stunning come-from-behind victory over Tottenham, the Gunners' ability to secure a much-needed spot in the top four is still quite a valid concern. Arsenal fans are once again compelled to rejoice in a win that may or may not ultimately end up making the significant difference we would all sincerely like to believe it made.
