Don't know how others feel, but I'm pretty fed up with reading the football news, its either about Cesc going to Barca, or Cesc going to Barca so instead I thought over the next few days I would take a look back at a few ‘loved ones' from the team in red and white. Feel free to let me know if it's a stupid idea

Today is all about John Radford just for our newly married blogger Big Raddy.

Whilst Arsene Wenger's managerial ability is regularly praised, his wit does not always seem to be appreciated. After all, English is the man's third language and yet his cunning with the language is something I can only aspire to.

Arshavin and Fabregas were once again in imperious form for their club as The Gunners dismantled Blackburn Rovers at The Emirates Stadium this afternoon. Arsenal ran riot in the second half against a Blackburn side low in confidence and suffering inconsistent form in the league this season. The home team once again produced some spells of incredibly stylish flowing football that can only be associated with this Arsenal side - who have become widely recognised as the most easy on the eye team in English football today.

What's good for the Goose isn't always the same for the gander in Arsenals case.

Ever since the Paul Davis incident back in 1988, which I believe was the first instance of cameras being used retrospectively in a football match, we have been treated unfairly by the footballs powers that be.

1. We won despite having a dreadful first half and a passable second half.
2. Wayne Rooney has scored four goals in four games. Cristiano who?
3. Darren Fletcher is a machine.

Football can be a cruel sport sometimes and it was certainly cruel tonight under the floodlights on a warm evening in Glasgow. Two strokes of luck have almost ensured Arsenals progress to the group stages of the Champions League as they overcame a stubborn Celtic side 2-0.

Celtic had started brightly enough; playing a 4-5-1 they restricted Arsene Wenger's fluid passing and movement and, while not creating much in the way of chances themselves, they contained Arsenal as best they could.

Over the last couple of weeks most of the articles here have been on Manchester City's spending power, Arsenals selling power, or how there is or isn't any loyalty in the game of football anymore. I've sat at home this week with swine flu looking for something to write about which didn't involve a top four club or a wanna be top four club.

I'm starting a trend with my articles now... they all seem to start with "Last year I wrote article XYZ", well this one is no different!

It's no doubt that Arsenal couldn't perform in the last two matches .First being the second leg of the champions league semi final in the emirates as they lost 1-0 at the old Trafford it was crucial for them not to give away goals at emirates .The main reason for man u to win this match was because of Cristiano Rolando's beautiful performance and arsenal worst defense because the main players in the defense were Gallas and Clichy who couldn't play the game though Gibbs and song tried their best, having an advantage like that for Manchester united is enough for a win like that(3-1) .

Arsene thinks his teenage wonder was targeted in Arsenals last UCL game.
I believe the exact words were "tried to destroy" and that the Dynamo Kiev dude should've been sent off multiple times and the ref turned a blind eye.
Then Wenger went on to complain about stoppage time, the toilets in the locker room and that his Rice Krispies didn't crackle enough during his morning breakfast. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal are one of the favorite teams from which to draw drawing FF players. Arsene Wenger doesnt rotate the squad too frequently and generally persists with a favoured starting line-up, so you can get a clear idea of which players should expect big minutes. They are also a very attacking team, most of which seems to go through Adebayor. Click to continue reading...
