It's here. Transfer deadline day. We'll be updating this post throughout the day with all the
latest transfer deals, rumours and humorous observations on Sky Sports News' coverage. Leave your
own rumours and reactions in the comments section below. 2.29pm: Spurs have an £18m bid for Loic
Remy rejected, according to Marseille's chairman.
It's true, there are a lot of Brentons in Swansea. Third most dense concentration of Brentons in
the UK after southwest England (Plymouth) and Southampton. Fascinating stuff, this.
Read Martin's preview because you should and because he paints a bleak picture of our backline,
a picture we all need to come to terms with.
Welcome to Liveblog 300! I mean 3000! which is ten times the liveblog that Liveblog 300! would
beeeeeeeeeeee (imagine Liveblog 3000! crushing a smaller liveblog as the be trails off).
If you haven't yet, check out Martin's preview, in which he speculates that AOC will get a start
and mostly just cuts and pastes an old preview.
Lineups are in. We're rolling out pretty much the same lineup we used two days ago. Hopefully
there's enough gas in the tank. Sagna is making a surprise return to the bench, so that's a good
sign. I hope he's not back too soon. Anyway, join along for the live blogging action.
Fulham Arsenal Liveblog
Lineups can be seen here, but it looks like there will be a little rotation, with Walcott and
Ramsey out, but Djourou back in. Please jump in for some live blog action, and also please share
any stream links you might have found.
Arsenal Wolves Liveblog
Yes, McLeish has worked his magic in Birmingham for a second time. JG previewed this match well,
pointing out the dreariness of Villa's season.
Kick-off is 7:45pm UK, 2:45pm Eastern, 11:45am Pacific, and has probably already started in
Fiji.
We'll be here an hour or so beforehand, though the last time I promised that I showed up a
minute before kick-off.
So we're visiting the money. And a win would be great. You should read JG's preview, in which he
claims Samir Nasri ate a baby.
Kick-off is 4:10pm UK time, 11:10am Eastern, 8:10am Pacific. As per, we start here about an hour
early. See you then.
Arsenal at City
Liveblog: Afghanistan v Nepal Paddy is here to liveblog the match. You can chip in with comments on
the liveblog panel above or by using the hashtag #nepalOTP on Twitter. If everything's working OK
from a technical point-of-view you should be able to watch the match live in the video above too.
'Why Afghanistan v [.
Make some tea or crack a can of lager, and read the preview.
Our kids and fringe players (and Vermaelen and Santos) are in Greece, looking to get some
experience against a good side that needs to win to ensure they get anything out of the group
stage.
I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (not to be mistaken for
Coquelin), Frimpong and Coquelin, as well as Yennaris and Miquel, who I thought played fairly well
out-of-position against a strong City side in the Carling Cup.
Please join in for the latest and greatest edition of the Arsenal Offside Liveblog. Lineups can

Well it's that time again. Time to put our winning streak on the line against Fulham. I just
watched the rather remarkable end to the Man Utd/Newcastle game, where luck and the refs worked
against Man Utd at the end, which is odd. We didn't get any help from Chelsea or Spurs, so we still
need three points here to keep up with them.
Hello, we're finally back to regular programming, as we liveblog what should be an exciting
match between newcomers Norwich City and our beloved Arsenal. Join Homey, Darren, Brenton, and the
regulars as we discuss this game. Check out Homey's preview if you haven't already, and try the red
velvet cheesecake we have at the corner.
Please join us for today's live blog, after reading JG's preview of course. I believe JG will
also be doing our recap, since it seems he's the only one of us with the game on tv. I'll be
searching for a stream, so please join and help me out with that.
Arsenal West Brom Liveblog
Hey. We're barely around, so we may not get to your comments very quickly.
Liveblog! Arsenal v. Marseille
Welcome back!
If you haven't yet, check out Homey's preview, titled "Chelsea Arsenal Match Preview". I swear,
these titles write themselves.
Big game, tough game, etc.
Kick-off is in 45 minutes or so. I look forward to a higher quality of commenting than we saw
for the Carling Cup.
Hello all, to either tomorrow's or later today's, depending where you live, Carling Cup tie
between Arsenal and Bolton. Don't forget to catch Homey's Preview. Broadcasting info is shaky, the
only tv station that carries CC games in the US, FSC, is showing Aldershot-Manches16er United.
Hopefully a stream will be available.
And so we arrive at the fixture that is cause for consternation every year. Fucking Stoke. We
all hate Stoke, etc. Here's our preview, aptly named "Arsenal Stoke Preview".
Come on by at 5am my time (awesome), 8am Eastern, and 3pm Greenwich Mean Time to dazzle us with
your knowledge of Pat Rice's training techniques or baffle us with your bullshit opinions about
Arshavin.
Sorry this is coming on a bit late, but here we go. I'll be doing a recap later, but for now,
hop on and discuss the match.
Marseille-Arsenal Liveblog
Welcome all to our liveblog for today's game, Arsenal's home clash against Sunderland. Feel free
to pop in at comment , as we (hopefully) ride to 3 points!
Don't forget to check out the preview for more game news.
Arsenal- Sunderland
Well, this is another big one. Not only is this one with our North London rivals, but it's
important for league position. Check out JG's preview for a more in-depth look at it.
Unfortunately for the blogging team, we're all missing this one. At least in terms of watching
it live. I think Brenton is still swarmed with work stuff, JG is out of pocket, and Darren and I
are in church.
This is my first attempt at Live Bloggery, but hopefully it's slightly less challenging than
rocket science for a tech-challenged person such as myself.
JG is going to be doing our recap today, and hopefully Darren will stop by during the live blog
as well. I think Brenton is working some insane hours at the moment, so I'm not sure if he'll be
by.
Welcome all to our liveblog for today's match, at home against Bolton Wanderers. 3 points are
desperately needed.
Check out Darren's preview of this game and Homey's pre-preview, wondering if we're going to go
for Gary Cahill. I, for one, hopes he has a stinker and scores two own goals. Come on Arsenal!
How am I supposed to avoid a The Taming of the Shrew reference? Because I hate sports puns,
that's how.
Regardless of how Billy Shakespeare felt about Arsenal's chances tomorrow, and despite Rich's
vehement defence of the Shrews' special blend of defiant and energetic football, I would have to
say that I agree with Homey's preview: we shouldn't misunderestimate them, but this should be a
clear win.
Join us as we discuss, banter, and excite ourselves over Arsenal's 5th league encounter of the
season, at Blackburn. Gervinho and Song are back, and we could see the first of Santos and Park.
The raspberry punch and oatmeal cookies are at the back table. Enjoy!
Blackburn vs. Arsenal
Hey everyone,
It's a big, big day for us. Though it feels like, until we get a few wins in a row, every game
will be a very big game.
Check out JG's preview, and the comments (particularly Chullalobo's) after for some good insight
into our opponents, the mighty Dortmund of Borussia.
Here we go, everyone. I'm going to say that every game is a must-win for us, starting with this
game. 35 wins on the season, yah!
Check out Darren's preview, then get yer comment on. Kick-off is at 3pm UK, 10am Eastern, 7am
Pacific. Shout out to our eastern seaboard Gooners! Hope you're coping well with the after-effects
of the weather there.
Hi everyone.
Welcome to a radical, busy transfer deadline day. We've got tons on the go (see previous post),
so expect tons of shit to go down, including transfer confirmations, wild rumour-mongering,
Sasquatch sightings, etc.
STRONG DISCLAIMER: I (and JG) will be on hand to admin this liveblog
intermittently today (and tomorrow, for those of us in the later time zones), so comments may take
a while (read: a few hours, perhaps) to be published.
Here we go, folks. Check out the previous post for the preview.
Arsenal @Man Utd
Quick and dirty, from my iPhone, so bear with me. If I don't get it ready, we can use this as
the match thread. Game starts at 7:45 UK, 2:45pm Eastern, 11:45am.
Arsenal v. Udinese
It's finally arrived, everyone. The day we've all been slogging through summer for. The start of
a dreamy ten-month long season of bliss. The Arsenal are playing again. *add triumphant horn music
when technology allows*
The game kicks off tomorrow, Saturday the 13th, at 5:30pm UK time, 12:30pm Eastern, 9:30am
Pacific.
The team is in Portugal tonight to play our last pre-season warm-up against Benfica. Kick-off is
7:45 UK time, 2:45pm Eastern, 11:45am Pacific. The liveblog will start an hour before the game.
Come on by and give us your thoughts. Liveblog is at the bottom.
Benfica had a strong, strong team two seasons ago, winning the Portuguese league, but that squad
has since been partially dismantled, some in high-profile moves to big European teams:
Fábio Coentrão and Ángel Di María went to Real Madrid, Ramires and David Luiz joined
Chelsea, and Nuno Gomes (Euro 2004, anyone?
First, a mini-peview:
We face Red Bull New York in a few hours (4:15pm UK, 8:15am Pacific, 11:15am Eastern) in our
second Emirates Cup match. In the first set of games RBNY beat PSG 1-0, while we surrendered a 2-0
lead and drew 2-2 with Boca Juniors.
New York usually line-up in a conventional 4-3-3, with Henry often dropping into midfield to
pick up the ball.
And here, folks, is our first* liveblog. The Inaugural LiveBlog, we'll call it.
Arsenal face Boca Juniors, an Argentine team of some repute. They've won more international
titles (18!) than your dad, and are second in Argentine Primera Division titles with 23 (and more
than Liverpool or ManU, I might add).
