Ten members of the Arsenal first-team have been called up and will be flying out to Ukraine and
Poland to represent their respective countries in this summer's European Championships. Euro 2012
kicks off in just under two weeks time when Greece take on co-hosts Poland in Warsaw on June
8th.
The EURO 2012 Tournament Could Spell Trouble For Arsenal FC – By JG The possible blow-back of the
EURO 2012 Tournament is something Arsenal fans have reason to be wary about. As we know already, a
number of Arsenal players are going to be heavily involved in their countries efforts to win the
competition.
Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is renowned for his confidence. And he's shown considerable
self-confidence in judging that his latest revelation to the media wouldn't annoy his Arsenal
team-mates or Chelsea captain John Terry. The Poland international has spilled the beans in an
interview with the Polish edition of Playboy magazine, revealing that John Terry is [.

Wojciech Szczesny has revealed that, while on nights out, several of the Arsenal players have
taken to using John Terry's name as a code word for ladies unpleasing to thine eye, e.g , 'would
you just look at John Terry over there, face like a bucket of smashed crabs.

In our Untold Awards we have looked at which Arsenal players will break through next season and
hold down regular first team slots.
So let us start trying to get the list down in size... We are talking of players who will really
make some sort of impact next season who were not central this [.
All the Arsenal players have had it drummed into them by Arsene Wenger that they must expect
Chelski to win the Champion's league, making third place imperative for a place among Europe's
elite. Arsenal's sensational striker therefore knows they must defeat West Brom in the last game of
the season. He also knows that if [.

There was better news for the Gunners on Sunday after their infuriating draw against
Norwich.
Two former Arsenal players exerted equal and opposing influences on Spurs performance against
Villa. Ciaran Clark's shot deflected off William Gallas's head to balloon past Brad Friedel as
Villa went ahead.
The Deadwood Players Conundrum By: JG Figuring out how to responsibly deal with all of the Arsenal
players who are now unwanted, confidence damaged or injured beyond repair has got to be a
significant challenge. Some fans would say "just throw them out of a window and be done with them";
but they are laymen.
Rosicky Claims His Footballing Age Is 29
Arsenal FC midfielder Tomas Rosicky has said that there is plenty of football
left in him even though he is now in his thirties. The 31-year-old playmaker has missed a large
chunk of his Arsenal career due to a series of injuries and therefore, he claims that his hunger
and desire to play at the highest level is more than his age suggests.
Yes, it's true, the mighty Arsenal and Citroën have combined to promote the new Citroën DS5
through a video shot with the English National Ballet. No doubt the players involved in the video
have been subject to more than one or two dressing-room comments on their newly-found artistic
skills, but ballet dancers also need to be fit, supple and train hard to perform.
Robin van Persie has been unbelievable this season. Honestly he has been like Superman on steroids.
But recently the goals have dried up, and despite Betfair football having the Dutchman as favourite
to win the Barclays Golden Boot, Wayne Rooney is hot on the trail too.
Now I really hope that our man finishes as the top scorer in the Premier League ahead of Rooney,
like he did after being crowned Footballer and PFA Player of the Year, for obvious reasons.
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
One point from six now, and yet we remain in charge of our own destiny – just about – thanks to
our twelfth man, ‘results elsewhere'. God bless Results Elsewhere and all who sail in her!
That our closest rivals now – or at least, for now – are not from London but from Newcastle
will perhaps be as much as surprise to them as it is to everyone else.
Arsenal left-back Andre Santos has made it clear that he is now feeling complete settled in
London and has attributed much of his comfort at the club to the relationships he has developed
with teammates off the field.
After gradually making a successful transition from a deadline-day signing to the team's
starting left-back, Santos famously scored in the 5-3 derby win away to Chelsea in October.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has conceded that fatigue may have drained his team out of energy
over the course of the shock 2-1 defeat to Wigan last night but insists that there is no excuse for
the lack of creativity in the decisive second half.
Thomas Vermaelen's impressive 20th minute header cut the Latics' early two-goal lead into half
but the Gunners could not find an equalizer, despite finishing the match with a plethora of
attacking options in the second half.

This was Arsenal's 10th defeat in the league this season. Another win chalked away by a lower
league side. This time at home where we've only lost twice all season, one to the team that is
looking likely to lift the title and one at a time when we were in shambles. When we were supposed
to increase the gap between us and the other sides chasing the Champions League spots, we dropped
the ball.
AAAAHHHHHHHH I AM ARTUR BORUC AND THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT MADE ME ANGRY THIS WEEK:
1. THINKING ABOUT THINGS -- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. ARSENAL PLAYERS DOING BALLET -- SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE I
COMBINED BALLET WITH MY OWN BRAND OF MARTIAL ARTS TO CREATE A LETHAL YET ELEGANT DANCE STYLE!
This game was anti-climatic in some ways. As discussed in the preview, the fighting spirit of a
relegation candidate could have been the only factor that made this a compelling contest. It was
nowhere to be seen. Wolves started in a somewhat diffident manner and the events of the opening 10
odd minutes virtually killed the contest.

Balotelli's foul on Song would you like a signed cast with that? - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
During the Arsenal v Manchester City game yesterday two players' careers at their clubs were
almost ended.
Alex Song, who miraculously avoid breaking his led after Balotelli's foul, and Balotelli
himself, who should have been sent of for that foul early in the first half and was then eventually
sent off in injury time, prompting Mancini to say that he doubts Balotelli will play for City
again.

As part of Citroen's 'The Refined, Redefined' viral push for the new DS5, we see several of the
Arsenal first-string we're talking Alex Song, Wojciech Szczesny, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and
Bacary Sagna limbering up and practising a few pliés and pirouettes before being put through
their paces by the girls from the English National Ballet all to the accompaniment of virtuoso
classical penis Martin Keown.
Ahead of Man City's visit to Arsenal on Sunday it was no surprise that Arsene Wenger was asked
about whether Man City could make a massive bid for Robin Van Persie if the prolific Dutchman
refused to sign a new contract at the Emirates this summer. "They have enough Arsenal players there
now," Wenger joked.
If you ever find yourself incarcerated in an El-Salvadorian prison and forced to watch ITV's
football coverage, you will see a man in the studio. A man who seethes with contempt at the inane
banality around him, a man whose icy stare at the artificially folksy repartee of Adrian Chiles
could freeze magma.
Arsenal fans are so used to seeing Arsene Wenger rage against the referee, the playing area, the
fixture list or the fourth official that it is refreshing to hear him actually blame the Arsenal
players for a change. The pitch WAS a bit dodgy and everyone was sliding all over the place
(especially Vermaelen!
Arsenal plan test-tube footballers to outsmart Chelsea, Tottenham and United - originally posted

Plans leaked from Wenger's mobile phone (which also contained some tasty photos that we're never
going to share respect, Monsieur Wenger, respect) reveal Arsenal's secret plans to outsmart their
rival football clubs by creating test-tube footballers using the finest possible footballer DNA
collected over the last decade.

I don't care that Bacary Sagna looks like Serena Williams' ugly brother.
And I don't care that, except for Cesc Fabregas' mullet, his hair-style is the funniest I've seen a
player in an Arsenal shirt ever have.
Because Bacary is a hero for Arsenal. A proper hero. Like Hercules.
Is it any coincidence, that since his return from a broken leg, Arsenal have shown the kind of
fight only ever seen on the battlefields of Scotland by William Wallace and co?
Thanks to the FA Cup quarter finals the Arsenal players were able to have a weekend off and so
should be fully refreshed after the exertions of the last minute smash and grab win over the
Magpies.
The same cannot be said for tonight's opponents, Everton, they had to play an
exhausting derby game at Anfield, which they lost 3 0, on Tuesday evening as well as an FA Cup
quarter final clash with Sunderland Saturday lunchtime which turned out to be a draining 1 1 draw
.
Morning all,
a quiet weekend lies ahead. Everton play Sunderland in the FA Cup which means we have to wait
until Wednesday to face them in the league. Earlier in the week I was quite glad of the extra few
days rest but now, faced with the prospect of an Arsenal free weekend, I'm itchy for football.
So, Arsenal players took over Twitter yesterday, answering questions from fans from across the
globe.
"Lots of gel," was Mikel Arteta's reply to how he keeps his hair so perfect. I think he's being
modest. He has been blessed by nature with the kind of hair that simply does not move. Not for him
the Nicholas Cage in Raising Arizona or Moonstruck.

The Kardiac Kids do it again! Arsenal staged an instantaneous comeback for the equalizer and in
added time came up with a late winner just like they did last weekend against Liverpool. The come
from behind phenomena includes Sunderland, Spurs, Liverpool, and now Newcastle.
There has been plenty of news this past week following Arsenals impressive win over AC Milan.
We were so close to pulling off what before the match started seemed like an almost impossible
task of scoring five goals without a goal from Milan in order to progress into the last eight.
The first half was edge of the chair excitement I have not seen Arsenal play as well as that all
season, it was truly fantastic, and on that kind of form they could beat any team in the world.
It wasn't all bad for Charlie Adam against Arsenal on Saturday—it was only almost all
bad. He did, as usual, supply a handful of cutting cross-field passes that effectively switched
play. He found Martin Kelly in space on a pair of occasions as Liverpool's fullback joined the
attack late and unmarked.
Morning all,
there'll be an early press conference today, I'd imagine, before we make the trip northwards to
Liverpool for tomorrow's game. We do have some early team news from the manager, and the good part
is there doesn't seem to be anybody banjaxed by the midweek internationals.
There's nothing sinister about van Persie only playing 45 minutes for Holland, according to
Arsene:
It was planned by his manager because he knows we have a tough schedule.
International watch of Arsenal players by KJ Today the majority of the important mid-week
international friendlies took place. There were quite a few sumptuous ties available to watch with
Germany taking on France and England playing Holland at Wembley. The Arsenal players among the
goals were: Lansbury: Scored two today for England under-21s and his [.
Tonight's game against Jaguares essentially marks the end of the Sounders' 2012 preseason. The
team's roster for the start of the season is basically set. Yesterday Sigi stated that tonight's
game will be about focusing on preparing for next week's match against Santos Laguna. Time to stop
focusing on which players the Sounders will choose and start looking at how the pieces they have
fit together.
Welcome to the video blog by Jules for Arsenalinsider.com. Jules takes us through the weekend
victory over Tottenham.
Tottenham came into this match with a 10-point lead over Arsenal and it is clearly their best
start to a domestic season in 50 years. Arsenal on the other hands, are experiencing their worst
domestic campaign of the past fifteen years but they were determined to prove that class is
permanent and form is temporary.
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.
One thing that I have noticed over the years is that there are a lot of Arsenal players who have
plenty to say.
They talk a great game but they have to start backing it up with performances on the pitch
otherwise it will bite them on their pampered behinds.
This Sunday is the the most important North London derby since we won the title at White Hart Lane
on the 25th April 2004.
MANU Petit has delivered a verbal volley to Arsenal's under-performing stars ahead of the derby
clash against Tottenham on Sunday. Arsene Wenger's men go in to the vital Premier League clash
desperate to regain some pride, see off the old enemy and collect points in the race for a top four
finish.
