In Wikipedia, DNA is classified as Deoxyribonucleic acid that that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms with the exception of some viruses. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, like a recipe or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells.

The Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen has added his tuppence-worth to the Fabregas to Barcelona saga, and says that the Spanish international as good as confessed to his team-mates that he was "determined" to move to the Nou Camp during the summer.

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has hinted that if it was down to him, he would have secured a switch to Barcelona this summer. No surprise here don't you agree?

The midfielder was strongly linked with a return to his Catalan roots throughout the transfer window, with both parties making it clear that they wished to reach an agreement.

When Cesc Fabregas said he decided to stay at Arsenal, it seemed like there was much more to the story. Yes he was still in contract with the Gunners but it was after talks with Arsene Wenger when the story became different.

After Barcelona had made their interest known in signing Fabregas, Arsenal were the ones who kept denying the offers.

There's not much happening in the world of Arsenal. Even a comment from Fabregas that had enough juice to launch a thousand headlines didn't really get much attention (and I don't have words to describe how delighted I am by that). One rag did conjure an amazing headline about how Arsenal kept El Capitan against his wishes but it seems most other hacks are busy with the Cricket scandal or the Rooney scoop.

Click to continue reading...

I first noticed the headline in the Daily Mail, which headlined: Cesc Fabregas claims Arsenal held onto him against his will, and the quotes certainly seemed to indicate they were right. Fabregas said: ‘Barcelona did all they could to sign me but Arsenal told me I had to stay, that there was no way they were [. Click to continue reading...

A week without domestic footy is truly a horrible thing for football fans to have to live through. In place of our favourite club teams we get to watch England beat up on Bulgaria, or the match of the day, Greece against Georgia.

While we are biding our time until the good footy starts up again next week I figured we should check in to see how our favourite La Liga stars and their teammates performed for their national team on Friday.

Several EPL coaches, officials, and footballers have recently praised the new homegrown rule that forces EPL clubs to only name 25 active footballers on their roster for the duration of the season with 8 being considered homegrown, but many fans and footballers alike have pointed out the obvious fact that the rule can be easily manipulated and that young English players are not always guaranteed a spot on the roster even with the new rule.

Yessss! I'm logged on! Cescy hails his technological breakthrough.

Our F5 love Cesc Fabregas is on twitter. He's followed the likes of other Spanish 'ballers like Xabi Alonso (who tweets about Dexter), Sergio Ramos (who tweets photos like this) and Alvaro Arbeloa (who confirmed Cesc officially today) on the twitterverse.

Click to continue reading...

With the transfer window closing today, I know a lot of Premier League fans are asking about the new homegrown rule and how it affects their clubs. Hearing that there's a 25 man squad limit or that every team has to have at least eight "homegrown" players has caused some fans to worry that their team might no be able to comply.

Arsene Wenger thinks that this summer was particularly difficult in the transfer market, but he is very pleased that he managed to bring in Laurent Koscielny, Sebastien Squillaci and Marouane Chamakh and all three have managed to fit into the team quickly. But he also believes that it was "vital" that Arsenal managed to keep their [. Click to continue reading...

Is it time for Arsene's stars to shine?

For many years now we have been saying it's a matter of time before Arsenal come good. Well after watching them grind out a result at Blackburn on Saturday maybe we won't be waiting much longer.

The ability that Arsene Wenger's side possess is in unquestionable.

Just when you thought it was safe to assume Cesc Fabregas would stay with Arsenal this season, now comes word that a new team has replaced Barcelona as the top team looking to buy him.

Inter Milan is reportedly set to offer £32.5million for the Spanish international in a late move that seems unlikely to succeed given Arsenal's consistent reluctance to part with its captain.

Javier Mascherano's long-awaited transfer to Barcelona is set to be completed this weekend after Liverpool accepted a bid from the Catalans.
The midfielder almost joined the La Liga champions 12 months ago only for former manager Rafael Benitez to eventually price him out of a move.
However, with the 26-year-old keen to move for personal reasons – he constantly complained his family had not settled in England – the club came to an agreement with him that if they received an acceptable bid they would allow him to leave. Click to continue reading...

Pep Guardiola is hilarious as he answers questions regarding Gerard Pique's stunt of placing a Barca shirt over Cesc Fabregas during post World Cup celebrations. His English makes it even funnier as he tries to come up with the perfect adjective to describe the mind of Pique, enjoy!

Theo Walcott's hat-trick against Blackpool on Saturday assured that the young winger would grab the majority of the headlines, and rightly so, but Arsenal's demolition of Blackpool was far from a one-man show.

I already knew Man City were the richest club in the world. I did, honest. But this quote from Jose Mourinho, about how Man City outbid Real Madrid for Serbian fullback Aleksander Kolarov really brought it home for me today:

Without any question, Barcelona are certainly going to be the team to beat against in La Liga this season, which begins this coming weekend. The men wearing the new Barcelona away shirt were able to fend off the challenge of Real Madrid last season, with their big money signings Ronaldo and Kaka and clinched the La Liga title.

A couple of things today:

First, the rumors around a possible Sebastien Squillaci transfer are reaching a bit of a crescendo, and it is being widely reported that Squillaci is in London for his physical. He has reportedly agreed personal terms (on a 3-year deal, supposedly), and Arsenal and Sevilla have reportedly agreed to a fee of £5.

Lionel Messi has come out today and made some big claims about how good Newcastle winger Jonas Gutierrez is. Jonas Gutierrez -as good as Rooney, Torres or Febregas?

It's Sunday yet again and as usual the papers are full of football transfer rumours, and quite a few of them are about Arsenal.

On afternoons like this, Arsenal defeating Blackpool 6-0 and Chelsea doing the same to Wigan, you will naturally query the claim that the English Premiership is the best in the world. Indeed the abilities of the elite clubs, namely Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, are rarely questioned, at least not at a domestic level, but some of the teams in the lower echelons of the league truly do leave plenty to be desired.

Barring this evening's late kick-off between Wigan and Chelsea, another Saturday's Premier League action is in the books already. It goes without saying, this has been yet another eventful round of fixtures with different clubs experiencing different emotions around the country.

The emotions were certainly running high at the Emirates, where an early sending off for Blackpool's Ian Evatt opened the floodgates for Arsenal.

It has been an excellent day so far for two North London youngsters who have truly made their pace count down the flanks. Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Tottenham's Gareth Bale have both struck a brace to hand their respective teams an edge going into half-time.

In Walcott's case, the advantage that his club holds is a bit more than just an edge, to say the least.

Ian Holloway may or may not treat us to some new throwaway line but his side, Blackpool is coming to the Emirates riding the momentum of a 4-0 spanking of Wigan. It has been a roller coaster off the pitch though, with their chairman Karl Oyston resigning and facing bankruptcy charges.

Morning all,

the first home game of the season - our awesome new kit makes its debut - and there's the expectation of a good win today. Blackpool had a brilliant introduction to the Premier League as Wigan lubed up and took it like gentlemen. I don't expect Arsenal to do the same today.

Squad news is that Song, Djourou and Fabregas are back in the mix.

Barcelona are set to once again express interest in luring Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano to the Camp Nou, after coach Pep Guardiola stated his desire to bolster his squad ahead of the new season.
Guardiola, in a press conference earlier today, admitted that he would not rule out any new additions ahead of the closing of the transfer window, and according to television channel TV3, the club are looking to complete a deal for the Liverpool enforcer before the deadline on August 31.
