Arshavin in recent weeks has become a victim of both the media and all of us Arsenal fans for his defensive mishap which gifted Manchester United with a undeserved win at the Emirates. I admit I was thoroughly disappointed with his performance but I still expect him to do something crucial for us in our [.

Andrei Arshavin has not appeared for Arsenal since he came on as a sub against Man United, which sparked a barrage of booing against Arsene Wenger as the Russian walked on the pitch. Arsenal fans had been severely critical of the 30 year-old this season anyway after a series of lacklustre and lazy-looking performances for [.

The Arsenal midfielder Andrei Arshavin was visibly shaken by the reaction of the home fans at the Emirates last week when he took to the field in place of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and considering that he was lacking in confidence before that he can't be very keen to wear the Arsenal colours again. A few weeks [.

Arsene Wenger has tried to minimize the damage to Andrei Arshavin's confidence by last weeks booing by Arsenal fans when he was brought on against Man Utd, and he may have gone just a little overboard when he said: "I love Arshavin as a man and as a player. "I don't think the fans were [...]

Despite Arsene Wenger making it clear that he doesn't like the January transfer window, there are still lots of Arsenal transfer rumours out there in the ether, but whether any of them are true is another matter. One player who won't be coming to Arsenal is the "German Jack Wilshere", Mario Gotze, who has somehow [.

Sorry about the title, but I can't resist a good pun if possible. Misleading as it might be, I must stress that I am not saying Johan Djourou deserves any credit for his performance against Manchester United.

However, for all the criticism surrounding Arsene Wenger for his choice to remove Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just as he'd made our equaliser and was at the centre of everything good we were doing, a rather more bold move by the boss has gone largely ignored: replacing the more experienced Djourou, terrible as he was, for Premier League debutant Nico Yennaris, a move that proved more successful than bringing on Andrey Arshavin later.

Arsene Wenger seldom criticises his players in public.

So this comment about Andrey Arshavin, made to Sky Sports, has massive implications:

"It does look at times that he doesn't want to be in this country and I think the way that the winning goal was set up for Manchester United – you expect a player in that position to have focus and make it hard for the winger.

So then, this is what heartache feels like. This is what it means to have the figurative broken heart. I have decided I don't like this feeling, at all. And I want it to go away.

Needlessto say, many hard-core Arsenal fans like myself are in agony at this moment in time. The team that we love so desperately appears to be dead.

Unfair on Arshavin, Unfair on Arsenal FC (By S.H) The home stadium erupted in loud BOOS in protest over Wenger‘s decision to substitute Oxlade-Chamberlain for Andrey Arshavin. Even Robin van Persie appeared to show his dissent over the manager's decision. The Ox had played a marvellous game, and I too, was disappointed to see him [.

Sunday's match turned up a lot of heroes and villains for both teams. The match itself went like most people had predicted; a close encounter that could have gone either way... that is until 75 minutes into the game, when what can only be considered a game changing event occurred. But I'll get to that later.

Okay well we certainly all know that Arsene Wenger made a great error in replacing The Ox with Andrei Arshavin yesterday, but the fact is that he wanted Arsenal to win the game, and at 1-1 with 15 minutes to go he had to try and refresh his attacking options. Okay lets look at the [...]

Arsenal fans who argue that Arsene Wenger should not be sacked can only come up with one reason "He's our most successful manager ever". Others might also point to his unearthing of talents like Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira. The theme here? It's all stuff from an increasingly long time ago.

For the first time in five years we have now lost three Premiership matches in a row.

I am starting this story now Tuesday evening the 17th where the thoughts of last nights radio conversation on Talksports Drivetime between Adrian Durham and Ray Parlour are still fresh in my mind.

I No Longer Know The Arsenal Team I Support by Lorenzo Sallows. Another defeat. Three back to back losses and we continue to drift in limbo, detached from the top four, hopelessly trying to sustain a top half table finish. All but a single goal mustered from a poor display leads us neatly back to [..

It looks more and more likely with each passing day that Andrey Arshavin will pack up his boots and leave London during the summer, likely back to Russia with Zenit St Petersburg, where he's still considered a hero. In fact, it seems all of Russia regards Arshavin as some kind of football genius since he was named that nation's athlete of the year again for the fourth time running and is still the captain of his country's team.

Six years ago to this very day, Theo Walcott signed for Arsenal Football Club at the age of just 16-years old. The teenager, who had set the Football League Championship and the south coast alight whilst playing for Southampton, was signed by Arsene Wenger just a couple of months before his 17th birthday.

What is UP, Arshavin! According to Spanish newspaper, Sport, occasionally loco striker Andrei was seen on Monday in Barcelona, ??where he went to shoot a sports commercial (just like Neymar did last week) in the city. And you can officially put the 'Arshavin to Barcelona?

Angry, frustrated, disappointed. Once again Arsenal fans are left let-down, once again we are promised things will change and once again it is groundhog season for Arsenal, and we haven't even entered the annual departures of the close season.

Where do we start? It is obvious that things went wrong in the summer with Wenger anticipating that both Nasri and Fabregas will not leave these were the hopes of a man living in a dream land.

Here we are in the January transfer window, and we are all excited over the new stars that will be coming to the Emirates.

There is talk of this one, and talk of that one. Yet behind all the hype in the press you have Wenger telling us what I am afraid is going to be a very big disappointment for us all, and that is they do not want to spend any money with this financial crisis going to only get worse.

Wallowing in the glory of Henry's movie-moment comeback was not meant to last all week, but for me it has. The YouTube video I breathlessly uploaded at about midnight on Monday has now had about 37,000 hits (and Analytics tell me 90.6% of those who watched it were male, with 9.7% female how do they know this I wonder – though my brother did confidently predict that he had watched it "about 28,000 times" so maybe there's some truth in that).

Arsene Wenger has been talking about the latest Arsenal transfer rumours saying that Andrei Arshavin will be allowed to leave the Emirates this month, and he believes that the Russian still has a job to do for the Gunners despite a series of lacklustre performances. Wenger says that, although Arshavin seems to be lazy on [.

Here is one for you: Andrey Arshavin has become the athlete of the year for the fourth year in a row according to a body known as the all-Russian public opinion research center. No, I am not making this up (for once). It says so, here, in black and white on AA23′s very own website.

Now, I really want to like our little Russian.

There have been numerous rumours saying that Andrei Arshavin is now considered surplus to requirements at Arsenal, and the Russian captain has also made it plain that he is worried about losing his place in the national team if he doesn't play regularly for the Gunners. The Zenit technical director Igor Korneev admitted last month [.

It's not a trick of the eye, it's not a fancy photoshop job. That is indeed Thierry Henry in an Arsenal shirt, an Arsenal shirt of 2012, wheeling away to celebrate a goal.

And not just any goal, but an Henry goal. Song played in a brilliant through ball that split the two covering defenders, Henry took one touch to control the ball, and himself, and then he curled right into the corner of the net away from the keeper's despairing dive.

There are certainly a good selection of Arsenal transfer rumours around this morning, but I'm not sure how many of them are even close to being likely! There is no doubt that Arsenal need a proper backup striker for Robin Van Persie, especially with the possibility that the Dutchman could be leaving next summer.

Football on New Years Eve!? Do the FA not give any thought to the bloggers having to write match reports?

Anyhow, QPR were the latest visitors to the Emirates during this crazy Christmas period. With Liverpool already picking up 3 points a day earlier against Newcastle, and with United, Chelsea and Spurs all expected to win against relegation fodder (see what I done!

As we saw from the second half of the Wolves game, this Arsenal team is more than capable of creating chances and dominating the opposition all over the pitch, but as we saw from the first half at 1-0 against an 'easy' team, they go to sleep.

We've recently seen United win 5-0 twice in a row always hungry for more goals, always wanting to thrash the opposition, something Arsenal have only really managed once this season away to Wigan.

The little Russian maestro Andrei Arshavin has not looked very happy playing for Arsenal every time he has appeared on the pitch this season, even though Arsene Wenger has given him numerous chances to make an impact off the bench, and according to the Metro he has dropped behind Yossi Benayoun and Thomas Rosicky in [.

According to the Russian daily Sovietsky Sports, Zenit St. Petersburg are keen on re-acquiring the Arsenal playmaker Andrei Arshavin for the original sum of €16.5 million that the North London side paid for him back in 2009. The report suggests that Zenit are hoping to bring back the little Russian with a view of appointing [.

It is being reported this morning that Arsene Wenger has put both Marouane Chamakh and Andrei Arshavin on the Arsenal transfer list in the hope of off-loading at least one (if not both) of his out-of-form players in January. Arshavin is worried about losing his place in the Russia side at the Euros next summer [.

The 3-1 humbling to Olympiakos is Greece in the last group match of the Champions League was a match full of frustration for some Arsenal players. It shows that they may have to leave during the January winter transfer window in 2012 as they just don't look like they are interested in playing well for [.

Arsene Wenger has finally admitted that Marouane Chamakh has got a confidence crisis which is affecting his play, but maintains that Arsenal have enough striking options as cover for Robin Van Persie if he needs to rotate the team. Surprisingly Wenger named the youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as one of the options, as well as the [.

Andrei Arshavin was given a rare start by Arsene Wenger in this weeks game against Fulham, but as usual he seemed distracted and uninterested. The little Russian was pinpointed by most Arsenal fans as the biggest flop of the match, but Wenger thinks that he should be excused because he hasn't played for a while.

Welcome to La Liga Lunes, our Monday special on Spanish futbol. Well, today Greaseano finally has something to be happy about because he is now the La Liga's top-scorer with 16 goals, one over Messi!

Arsenal are set to face Norwich City in the early lunchtime kick-off today, but the papers still have room for a few Arsenal rumours this morning, and none of them look really promising to me! First of all we have some agent in Brazil suggesting that Arsene Wenger is interested in one of Tottenham's targets [.

Of course with no football on during the InterLull, so its time for the press to create some Arsenal transfer news to keep the fans interested in reading! And so today's Arsenal rumours roundup comes exclusively from talkSport, who seem to have a fixation on the Gunners today. First off all they have Arsene wenger [.

Andrei Arshavin has never been scared to speak his mind, and from his comments over the years you could imagine that he has not been very happy after his first six months at Arsenal. Now very rarely plays the full 90 minutes of any game for Arsenal, and he has admitted that he's not very [...]

He may be Arsenal's record signing – a late £15m transfer from Zenit St. Petersburg in 2009 – but it is still undecided amongst many as to whether Andrei Arshavin has been money well spent or just squandered millions. The Russian international said, "Speaking honestly, I think my performances for Arsenal have been average.
