OTFATT is short for "On the field, all the time." In these updates throughout the season, I'll be keeping track of which MLS players have played every minute of every game (regular season only).

If you weren't aware of it before, you certainly will be now. Emirates Stadium has been undergoing an 'Arsenalisation' process in recent weeks. This includes, stand out images from the club's history adorning the concourses, whilst a couple of the images below show a cannon which has been painted ahead of tomorrow's league clash with Pompey.

Arsenalinsider.com brings you in advance the Wikio rankings for this month, known as the most influential blogs in the UK blogosphere.

We are delighted to come straight into the listing at no 32 and thrilled to see so many Arsenal blogs in the list.

As always, our mission is to provide you up-to-date views, news, analysis, exclusive interviews, videos and more on our beloved club and this leap in the Wikio rankings show how much you appreciate our efforts.

Strike of the weekend for United's Darren Gibson at this cannon flies past an airborne Boaz Myhill. Hull survived the drop regardless of the defeat with Newcastle and Middlesborough both losing on the day.

We're less than a week away from the start of the new Premier League season, and though many clubs have solidified their squads for the most part, there are still a lot of moves to come in the next three weeks before the summer transfer window closes.

The two Merseyside clubs looking to be eying up a couple of talented midfielders from abroad, while Hull City are picking up some real steam in the transfer market after hitting brick wall after brick wall for much of the summer.

Another round of weekend link galore. The Barclays Premier League is back! The Reds are visiting White Hart Lane today.

Three words to sum up Manchester City

WELL, FP is back for another day - after spending a few hours yesterday with his cousin trawling through Perth like a couple of wizened tourists.
Though FP was playing the role of the embarrassed tour guide, his cousin was genuinely fascinated by the city.

In the close season Arsene Wenger talked about making the Emirates more "Arsenal". So we waited to see what was to happen.

When the Emirates was opened four summers ago, it was clear that the money had run out and there were many blank, concrete clad walls. Arsenal fans accepted this as a short term measure knowing that things would improve.

The Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas announced rules changes for awarding El Capitán, the 18th-century cannon presented annually to the winner of the teams' season series. The teams will meet for the first time in 2009 on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. at Robertson Stadium in Houston.

The new rules do not include the away goals tiebreaker that was used last year, as the teams now play an unequal number of home and away games in regular season play.

A week ago Wolfsburg managed to fulfill their dream and reach the champion's title. Even though their primary aim was reaching Champions League for the first time, after the first part of the season, even that seemed unreachable for Felix Magath's men. The Wolves were the best hosts with only two points dropped at home, while they have gone whole autumn without winning away.

San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper doesn't care about his saves if his team doesn't get any points from a game. Following his team's 2-1 loss away to Seattle, Cannon was clear after the game that saves are great when you get something from a game. Speaking to reporters after the game Cannon said: "I felt like I did all right and they didn't create much, the couple of saves just kind of came.

A goal by Kenny Cooper gave FC Dallas a 1-1 draw at Houston Dynamo and clinched El Capitan, the cannon awarded to the winner of the season series between the Texas rivals, for FCD (ASN, June 29, 2008). The game was Dallas' second under coach Schellas Hyndman. The teams drew three times last season but FCD took the trophy by outscoring Houston in road goals.

The Gunning Hawk brings you in advance the Wikio rankings for this month, known as the most influential blogs in the UK blogosphere. Having made the rankings in January 2009 in position 105, it was a rollercoaster of ups and downs as we went from 50th to 33rd and then down to 57th last month.

But, we are delighted to now be in position 24 and thrilled to see so many Arsenal blogs in the list.

Galaxy 2 Earthquakes 0

After a rather listless first half, an end to end move by the Galaxy in the 77th minute has appeared to seal the win.

Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts started the play, getting the ball to David Beckham, who passed to Landon Donovan, who in turn got it out wide to substitute Chris Klein on the wing.

This from the home office in Frisco: FC Dallas and the Houston Dynamo today announced rule changes for awarding El Capitán, the replica cannon presented annually to the winner of the teams' regular season series. FCD and the Dynamo will...

I have been WAY too heavy on the WPS stuff, I admit it. Mostly because right now, MLS is baffling. I've been afraid to read reactions to the Red Bulls win, because I think it's 50% Celades being New York's first really good acquisition since JPA, 50% San Jose not having Huckerby, and 50% San Jose being measurably worse than advertised.

You may remember that back in May I reviewed a football for this blog. You probably don't, but such is life.
If you do, you would remember that Soccerpro asked me to give an "honest, unbiased opinion" on the blog and in return, I could keep the product they sent me. To me, it seemed a fair offer, so that was exactly what I did: I wrote an honest review - that it was a good football, and in return I had a lovely football to play with until I kicked it on the neighbour's roof, never to be seen again.

Let's start with the good news and the 2-0 win last night means we've qualified for the knock-out stages and won our group. With games coming thick and fast the manager will have the luxury of being able to rest players for the trip to Greece in a couple of weeks time. I suspect we'll see an almost Carling Cup selection for that one.

As you will see, this is a special post that is also related to Arsenal but not in the normal way that I've usually go about. The good people at SoccerPro asked if I wanted to write a review of one of their products, to which I happily obliged. Bear in mind, although I've done numerous reviews of Arsenal matches and performances, this is my virgin try at product review.
