Say Hello To Andriy Yarmolenko – By JG Don't know who Yarmolenko is? Well you should, because he
is at the top of Arsene Wenger's shortlist for this summer. I have been informed that Arsenal are
in the middle of trying to figure out what they are going to to with Andrei Arshavin. The little
[...]
The Arsenal manager has been speaking about a possible departure in the summer for out of form
striker Marouane Chamakh, as the Morocco international has failed to impress in his time at
Arsenal. Fiorentina is now interested in the services of Marouane Chamakh, and are willing to send
Adam Ljajic the other way plus cash [.
The Arshavin Renaissance by Richard Hall There were only two minutes left when Aleksandr Kerzhakov
got the ball on the right hand side, he skilfully flicked the ball over the full back before
lobbing the ball into the box with his right foot. As the ball dropped towards the penalty spot it
looked as though [.
The Arsenal loaned-out winger Andrey Arshavin is delighted for choosing to make the move back to
Russia in the winter, as he declares that it helped him get back into the form which once made him
one of the most sought after players in Europe. Arshavin returned to Zenit in the winter, and the
Russians [.
Russian winger Andrey Arshavin was a massive signing for Arsenal when he was brought from Zenit. In
that period Zenit was one of the most pleasant surprises in European football, and Arshavin was the
player who fuelled the surprise. His transfer to Arsenal also marked a point in the winger's career
from which everything seemed [.
The players that will leave and come in next season Part 1 by KJ An interesting comment by
Travis_Bickle was flagged up by the admin and it looked a good basis to do an article on. His
comment was based on the idea of working out who exactly would leave this season and then [...]
Imagine this: 2010. You support a club which has won the European Cup, your team has a wealthy
American owner , they are Wembley regulars and are usually in contact with the League leaders, they
are managed by one of the best PL managers (O'Neill) and have some decent players in the
squad.
Move forward a couple of years to 2012.

The fantasy sports industry is a billion-dollar business marketed to fans who do nothing but watch
sports, obsess over stats, and nervously check game updates on their cell phones every five
seconds. Surprisingly, with so much revenue at stake, nobody has yet to create a good fantasy
soccer format.
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 [.
The little Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin has admitted that he was worried about losing his
place in the Russia team, despite being their captain, and knew that with the competition for
places at Arsenal he was never going to get a prolonged run in the Arsenal first team. Arshavin is
more than happy that he [.
Why it's not so bad
• His form bolted so long ago that the stable door was sold on eBay.
• He was clearly struggling at Arsenal
• Which you could tell by his workrate – he didn't want to be here
• Gervinho and Oxlade-Chamberlain are ahead of him on the left, which is the only place Wenger
was going to play him.
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 [...]
Arsenal announced today that they have chosen to loan out Andrey Arshavin back to his former
club Zenit St Petersburg for the rest of the season.
A marquee signing when he joined in January 2009, the captain of the Russian international team
proved an instant success, lifting the team to a 4th place finish almost single-handedly.
How can some Arsenal fans be so deluded? by KJ My most recent article sticking up for Wenger
received a very mixed reception probably edged out by the ‘Wenger out' brigade. So today I want
to talk about some of the misconceptions that certain fans pro-Wenger and anti-Wenger alike have
about players and [.
This week, American businessman, billionaire, and possible future owner of the Los Angeles
Dodgers Stan Kroenke flew into London in order to publicly express his full support of Arsene
Wenger. Arsenal's board of directors has had some interesting topics to discuss, which include, but
are certainly not limited to: Robin van Persie's future with the club, Arsene Wenger's future with
the club, and the monies to be spent this coming summer all of which impact public perception of
Wenger in one way or another.
The little Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin has become a bit part player at Arsenal this season
with the arrival of Gervinho and the emergence of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but the Russia captain
is desperate for more first team action ahead of this summer's Euro2012 tournament. His old club
Zenit St.
Arsenal FC's out-of-favour attacking midfielder Andrei Arshavin is on the radar of his former
club Zenit St. Petersburg, the Russian club's officials have confirmed.
Coach Arsene Wenger signed Arshavin from his hometown club in January 2009 for an undisclosed
fee believed to be in the region of £15 million.

What an exciting and challenging game we can anticipate tonight. A return to the scene of the
European recognition of Fabregas's genius (sorry GM!). That night is etched in the memory
alongside so many other astonishing and unexpected Arsenal victories win this and we may get a
repeat of the TH inspired win in the Bernabeu!
The Arshavin conundrum. Andrei Arshavin has caused great debate among fans (Arsenal and football
alike) in recent weeks/months/years. On the one hand, he is technically brilliant and can change a
game, but on the other he is dubbed lazy and incredibly inconsistent. I think that when Arsenal
critics say that he is ‘lazy' or simply [.
There was a point yesterday – just before Sunderland scored their freak goal – when I was
thinking: we need to change this game from the bench, but who can we bring on? We have no quality
on the bench!
Silly me.
All it took was one Ramsey pot shot, one sublime cross from Arshavin and one trademark Henry
finish to prove that Arsène Wenger still knows what he's doing.
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?
