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 [.

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!

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 [.

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.

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 [.

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.

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.

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 [...]

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.

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.

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 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 [.

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.

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).

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 [..

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.

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.

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 [...]

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.

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 [.

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.

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.

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 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 [...]

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 [.

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 [.

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 [.

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 [.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 [.

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.
