Sorry about the lack of updates over the last few days, things have been pretty mental around here.
Luckily for me though, absolutely nothing has happened so I have nothing to catch up on. The most
interesting development in the last couple of days is that Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he is
in the [.
Wenger has once again been linked with a bid for this somewhat-overpriced Portuguese midfielder!
Don't forget to check out Online Football Manager! Arsenal are reportedly lining up a bid for
Sporting defensive midfielder Miguel Veloso. Veloso has been a target for the Gunners for most of
the summer as coach Arsène Wenger has .
Oh To Be A Gooner can exclusively reveal the starting lineup for tomorrow's match against
Manchester City at the City of Manchester Stadium. The side for tomorrow's crucial encounter is as
follows: van Persie - Bendtner Diaby-Song-Denilson-Nasri Clichy-Silvestre-Djourou-Hoyte Almunia (c)
BENCH: Fabianski, Gibbs, Lansbury, Wilshere, Ramsey, Vela, Simpson.
A greatly weakened Arsenal side were victorious over Barnet at Underhill yesterday. The Gunners
celebrated a 2-1 victory thanks to second half goals from Jay Simpson and Nacer Barazite. Gael
Clichy's mate Kenny Gillet scored Barnet's only goal. It was a very relaxed affair, with the tempo
and tackling kept to a minimum.
Yesterday Arsenal confirmed the transfer for Portugal under-21 international Amaury Bischoff. On
the 14th of July ArseNews exclusively revealed that Amaury Bischoff was an Arsenal player. He
signed a contract one week prior to the publication of that article and has spent the majority of
his time as an Arsenal player in the gym at [.
First things first I would like to express my condolences to the family of Alphonse Wenger, the
Boss' father, who passed away earlier this week. Arsene and his family attended his funeral
yesterday in Wenger's home town of Strasbourg. RIP Alphonse. Arsenal make the trip to the Ukraine
for their opening fixture of the Champions [.
The amber fluid was flowing in the land of ArseNews as a silky Arsenal side outclassed a tough
Bolton outfit. Megson's Men took the lead in the 14th minute as Kevin Davies climbed above Kolo
Toure to head in a Joey O'Brien corner. A lack of communication between Toure, William Gallas and
Gael Clichy [.
Today saw what was effectively Arsenal's under-21 side go down to an experienced Juventus team. The
only goal in the match came after veteran striker David Trezeguet turned in a wayward free kick.
Replays showed that the France striker was well offside. The result, however, was not important. It
is still pre-season and the match [.
Well, too chicken to play fucking football. Cheating pricks. The Arsenal have walked away from the
Lobanovsky Stadium this evening with one solitary point after a 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kyiv. The draw
means that Arsene Wenger's poor record in Eastern Europe continues, although Le Boss is not
responsible for the underwhelming result.
I agree with almost everything Matt Hughes writes in his post on Arsène Wenger at the Times's
football blog today, the gist of which is that Wenger has been even more instrumental in Arsenal's
success than Alex Ferguson has been in Manchester United's, and that he will therefore be harder to
replace.
That is the question that first crossed my mind after reading Arsene's post-Fenerbahce press
conference last night. Frustrated at his side's inability to come away with all three points,
Arsene condemned the officials that controlled last night's fixture, saying that his side are being
unfairly treated: "Look at the Fair Play table.
According to the Sun (so...but...) Arsène Wenger is using the example of Barack Obama to
inspire his Carling Cup team. Interestingly, what seems to have drawn Wenger to Obama is the idea
that his ideas are hard to pin down: I've always fought for the idea in sport that, if you have the
necessary quality, [.

Der Jugendwahn bei Arsenal London kennt keine Grenzen. Arsène Wenger hat mit dem
16-jährigen Jack Wilshere ein weiteres junges Talent in den Profikader berufen. Als nomineller
Mittelfeldspieler hat Wilshere eine erstaunliche Torquote aufzuweisen. Für die U18 von Arsenal
London schoss er in der vergangenen Saison in 19 Spielen 13 Tore.
Emannuel Adebayor has inked a new "long-term" contract with Arsenal. The deal is set to
be worth £80,000 a week for the Togolese striker and is set to run until at least 2012. The
new contract comes after months of speculation over the player's future. Only weeks ago it seemed
that Ade was destined for [.
In a match that could've been used as a cure for insomnia, a lacklustre Arsenal were
comprehensively overcome last night by a physical Fulham outfit. A goal from Brede Hangeland in the
20th minute gave Fulham the three points at Craven Cottage and it was no less than what they
deserved. You can read a [.
From a group of youngsters, most of whom were plucked from relative obscurity, Arsene Wenger has
produced a group of potential champions. The 2007/08 season ended with the trophy cabinet bare for
the third year running. With all the pre-season talk on players moving and the search for a
defensive midfielder, a young squad trained [.
You'd think Arsene Wenger would be the sort of manager a bureaucrat would like. At Arsenal, he's
been a model of steady competence, intelligent planning, and the refusal to spend £28
million on Juan-Sebastian Veron. A serious and somewhat downcast man, he's not necessarily beloved
by the yeah, but innit, like set who drink heavily before [.
Arsenal's quest for their first Champions League crown resumes this evening when they play host to
Turkish outfit Fenerbahce. If victorious, the Gunners will cement their place in the second round
of the tournament. Although Arsene Wenger's side ran out convincing 5-2 winners in the Turkish
capital just a few short weeks ago, not many [.
Fair Play trophy or FA Premier League? That is what I thought after reading Arsene's
post-Fenerbahce press conference last night. Frustrated at his side's inability to come away with
all three points, Arsene condemned the officials that controlled last night's fixture, saying that
his side are being unfairly treated: "Look at the Fair Play table.
The first match of the round this weekend sees Arsenal travel to Teesside to take on Middlesbrough.
Former Gunner Justin Hoyte misses the tie with a knee injury, while Jeremie Aliadiere will no-doubt
be relishing the opportunity to take on his old club. Boro are looking for their first league win
in over a month, [.
Arsene Wenger today confirmed that central midfielder Abou Diaby will be out for a month. The
Frenchman has been sidelined by a thigh injury which was suffered before the start of
Arsenal's victorious Amsterdam Tournament campaign. Diaby's injury has left Arsenal with a massive
gap in midfield. In the close season Mathieu Flamini and Gilberto [.
Sure, he's the best manager the club has ever had. Arsene Wenger has brought unprecedented success
to Arsenal. He's taken the club from the historic though ageing Highbury to the state-of-the-art
Ashburton Grove ground. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Le Boss but he just doesn't get it
right now.
As if the first team wasn't youthful enough, Gunners manager Arsène Wenger has consistently
used the Carling Cup to blood promising youngsters. Expect, then, to get a first home glimpse of
Welsh wonderkid Aaron Ramsey and maybe even teenage English winger Jack Wilshere who impressed in
pre-season.
Brazilian-born marksman Eduardo is on-course for a 2008 comeback after suffering a horrific injury
at the hands of Birmingham defender Martin Taylor in that ill-fated fixture at St. Andrew's on the
25th of February this year. The tackle was mis-timed rather than malicious, but Dudu was left with
The a broken left fibula and an [.
Once again Cesc Fabregas popped up with a last-gasp equaliser to snatch a solitary point from the
jaws of defeat. This time, though, Arsenal's blushes were not spared at Anfield, but instead at
Sunderland's Stadium of Light - a ground at which The Gunners should be claiming all three points.
Granted, since the introduction of [.
Following Arsenal's 1-1 stalemate with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light a few short weeks ago, I
wrote a match report of the encounter titled "Arsene Gets It Wrong". If I were to compile
a report of yesterday's game away to Stoke it would be alarmingly similar. Sitting in front of my
television set yesterday [.
Arsene Wenger's men welcome Aston Villa to the Emirates Stadium today as they attempt to hand the
Birmingham outfit their first ever defeat at the Gunners' new stadium. Meanwhile, the Villans will
be looking to inflict Arsenal's first home loss at the hands of a midlands club since the George
Graham era.
Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev make the trip to North London this evening to take on an injury-riddled
Arsenal. The match will mark Francesc Fabregas' first game since being appointed permanent captain
of the Gunners following William Gallas' spectacular demise. Nine players will be missing from
Arsene Wenger's side, with William Gallas being the only first-teamer being [.
Arsenal head to Stamford Bridge tomorrow to take on league-toppers Chelsea in what is sure to be a
stern test for Arsene Wenger's young side. Few points usually separate the two London giants, but
the fortunes of Scolari's Chelsea and the Gunners have been stark in contrast this season. The
high-flying blues are top of [.
Arsenal head to Stamford Bridge this afternoon to take on league-toppers Chelsea in what is sure to
be a stern test for Arsene Wenger's young side. Few points usually separate the two London giants,
but the fortunes of Scolari's Chelsea and the Gunners have been stark in contrast this season. The

Championship side Burnley host Arsenal's kids in a League Cup quarter-final at Turf Moor tonight.
One match away from making the final four of the competition, Owen Coyle's men overcame Chelsea at
Stamford Bridge in a tense penalty shoot-out. Coming of a win against the same side, Arsenal have
so far scored nine goals in [.
