The Emirates' Mr Popular is booed by his 'supporters' To use local parlance, Emmanuel Eboue had a 'mare against Wigan yesterday. He knew this, but just in case he didn't the Arsenal supporters decided to let him know when he was substituted late in the game. The Ivory Coast international had only come into the game [.

Luis Gustavo Conte is still 14, but he was invited by Arsenal for a trial. Luis Gustavo is a Brazilian from the club Mirassol. The little boy's trial began on December 5 and will in two weeks. Arsene Wenger has a penchant for young boys, and rightly so because he can save a lot money than [...]

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  We have a lot of juicy bits to get to, including an unlikely career resurrection,  an even more unlikely spending spree, and a family reunion you thought you would see when Hell froze over. Arsenal to Go on Spending Spree? The idea of Arsene Wenger spending big is about as foreign [.

High quality edition this week from the lads at IOSS. Rafa Benitez joins the fellas in studio - wearing what we can only hope is puppet-exclusive - and gets a lesson in The Game. Even Roy Keane, no longer in The Game, gets in on it. Even a bit creepy as Rafa, the real one, [...]

La baja de Cesc Fàbregas parece que va a obligar al Arsenal a hacer un par de refuerzos en el mercado de invierno. La lista de posibles candidatos es extensa y el propio Wenger reconoce que necesitan más mediocampistas, además de la definitiva promoción de Fran Mérida al primer equipo de los gunners.

The show basically revolves around Wayne's trip to Tokyo, where he stays up way past his bedtime and gets into a little trouble at a karaoke bar with you know who. As ever, the puppets are a thousand times more endearing than the actual people. Maybe someone should invent in-law puppets?

Obviously, the big rumor out there is that Kaka has already agreed to terms with Manchester City, with a transfer fee in the neighborhood of £70 million. However, most of the mainstream media has yet to report on this story. As such, we'll store that one away in the file until it becomes [...]

Here is another transfer rumour story that is surely going to the bin before too long. It has been speculated by The People that Premier League club Arsenal are looking to land the Italian Serie A duo Philippe Mexes and Alexander Pato! It has been reported that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is eager to sign AS [.

Eddie's out of town for the weekend, so you guys are stuck with me! Let's get to the latest batch of transfer rumors. No Loaner for Alex Chelsea have rejected a proposed loan deal for their defender, Alex, to PSV Eindhoven. Alex was reported to have formally requested a transfer earlier this week, [.

On Friday, we reported Cristiano Ronaldo's frank confession of how he came close to signing for Arsenal instead of their Premier League rivals Manchester United in 2003. We now have Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's side of the story. The French professor too has let the cat slip out of the bag and told The Guardian: "I had [.

Cesc Fabregas was injured in Arsenal's home draw against Liverpool (he ruptured his knee ligaments in a challenge with Xabi Alonso) and while initial estimates put the time out at 2-3 weeks, Wenger has now said that they're looking at 3, maybe 4 months without their new captain. Our thoughts are with Fabregas and hopefully he [.

The Arsenal boss gets us under way Dear Santa, This year I would like: - Mathieu Flamini back - To stop losing against less aesthetically pleasing teams - A decent centre-half with a mental age above his shoe size Thanks, Arsene PS No money please - I've already got more than I know how to spend

Premier League club Arsenal would have to confront stiff competition in their bid to sign the highly rated Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo. The Gunners' interest in the skillful Brazilian medio has earned interest from Arsenal, who are seemingly on the verge of making a bid for the 25-year old. The creative midfielder had earlier played for [.

It's been the same story from Liverpool and Arsenal all season. To become Premier League champions, both teams lack the consistency needed not only in their results, but also in their performances on the pitch. Saturday was another perfect example as both teams underwhelmed against opposition they should have beaten.

What a lovely, lovely result. Forget that it came with a little luck. Forget that our central defender turned the ball into his own net. And forget what has happened in the past few weeks, and simply enjoy the events of yesterday. It was a sight that I found hard to believe, from the first goal scored by Van Persie, to his second minutes later, to the very end, when a Chelsea team whimpered their way to defeat rather than through everything forward.

Tomorrow is a trip to Middlesbrough and a vital game if this team wants to make a run at a title. I feel like every game from here on out could be labelled as a must-win, and while that may not necessarily be the case, it almost is. What needs to be proved tomorrow is some kind of consistency, especially in the league.

With the sweet memories of the win over Chelsea fading, the mid-week Carling Cup fixture is upon us today. But before that, a few more thoughts from this past weekend. While it is a great result indeed, Arsenal still has much to prove. This is the second win over a "big four" squad this season, but that doesn't subtract the five losses that this team has already suffered - two more than last season.

Morning all, or afternoon, depending where you are and when you read this. I really need to write more on here. I'm still trying to get the new site ready for it's debut and it's taking much longer than expected so I'm going to be sticking with this one for awhile.
So what has happened in the past week?

I'm with Wenger when he says Arsenal fans crossed line with booing of Emmanuel Eboue. I heard/read a lot of people who support what Arsenal fans do, but I think there's a line. Eboue is not, nor will ever be, my favorite player. But, like I said, there's a line fans shouldn't cross. And they crossed it.

Theres no shortage of managers who find themselves under an increasing amount of pressure in the buildup to Christmas, and with yet more poor results at the weekend we've made up our own shortlist of managers who may find themselves without a club very soon... Paul Ince, Blackburn. Mark Hughes, Man City.

Another weekend and a familiar result to sting the nostrils this evening. A 1-1 draw that wasn't really much of a surprise, but nonetheless the pain can still be felt. What hurts even more/comes as a relief is that the other members of the big three all managed to draw. So instead of inching our way back into title contention, Aston Villa leapfrogs over us into fourth place, leaving us in position for the UEFA Cup berth.

Fabio Capello dubbed it "diabolical". Given the picks obtained by Inter, Juventus, and Roma in Friday's UCL draw, the term might indeed be appropriate. For how else can we define the incredible "Serie A vs. Premier League" showdown bestowed upon us, as our beloved Italian teams face off against Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal in [.

La directiva del Zenit de San Petersburgo ha confirmado que está dispuesta a vender a Andrei Arshavin al Arsenal inglés si estos ponen encima de la mesa unos 21,8 millones de euros. Fue a la emisora de radio "Eco de Moscú", a la que el Director General del equipo ruso, Maxím Mitrofánov, declaró que "el [.

That's the best way to sum up Sunday's result. Despite a game bereft of quality and lacking any sort of finishing prowess, the combination of a William Gallas and some shoddy keeping from David James and it was three points for Arsenal.

Can't comment too much on the game - the holiday season, combined with the fact that the game wasn't easily accessible (ie on FSC) I couldn't watch it.

Apologies for not getting anything up sooner, but my hard drive decided to crash out on me the other day. It does not make for a fun situation when you have an external and yet was too lazy to bother backing up some of my stuff. So here I am, cursing the fact that I didn't back up a year's worth of pictures from living abroad.

Emmanuel Eboue's nightmare show Anyone who went to the Emirates on Saturday or watched Match of the Day would have seen Emmanuel Eboue put in the worst performance by an Arsenal player since Gus Ceaser in the 1988 Littlewoods cup final defeat to Luton Town.

Is that headline real immature? Ok, it's not as funny as this one, but humor me for a moment. It reads from Arsene Wenger's post game press conference.

Let me apologize for the lack of posting here - my computer died leaving in a void for a few days, and now it doesn't want to connect wirelessly.

For a Spurs fan to an Arsenal fan, my mate and I are amazingly mutual in our views, except on the competence of Arsene Wenger. He is convinced Wenger is an excellent manager for refusing to build his team on stars and sticking stubbornly to his principle that a team should be built on super-talented youngsters.

Another game, another draw. This team can't seem to get its act together and put in a winning performance. Sure, they didn't receive any help from some dodgy refereeing from Howard Webb, but when all is said and done all they could manage was another point at home.

Things started off fairly brightly at the Emirates, and Robin Van Persie's chocolate leg found the back of the net in the 24th minute.

Fans of the English game relish the packed fixture list of the festive period, with the boxing day fixtures having a long tradition of drawing some of the biggest crowds of the season for football clubs across the country. This year is of course no exception, with some mouth watering fixtures to fill you with festive cheer.

Huge game today, start in about 30 minutes. Another season defining moment in a campaign where little has gone right. Villa sits ahead of us by three points in fourth place - a win today and we'll hop back over them into the top four. As I type this, the top three have already won their respective Boxing Day match.

Morning all. Just a quick one today as I've got a busy day ahead and honestly I'm really so tired that I can barely write. We play Portsmouth in 45 minutes and see the first return of Tony Adams as an opposing manager. Pompey have been pretty terrible since he took over, and since we're playing at home we really need this to be a win.
