Holiday season is approaching and it's time to get presents for your loved ones. To get you a
head-start in the decision to buy present for a Gunners fan, lets get you through some of the
Arsenal merchandise:

There have been many Dutchmen who have set the Premier League on fire in recent memory. Jimmy Floyd
Hasslebaink and his thunder thighs couldn't stop scoring for Leeds, Chelsea and Middlesbrough. Marc
Overmars won the Premier League with Arsenal as ... Continue reading →

If the team needed any lifting before their trip to Marseille, this should be it. The news of
Thomas Vermaelen penning an extension to his contract. Obviously, what transpired in the summer has
got a lot of fans worried that the situation might be replicated with those currently with 2 years
left on his contract.
I take you back to the 94/95 season. Arsenal finished 12th in the Premier League. 6 points
fewer, and they would have been relegated. It was a season riddled with scandal, with George Graham
being sacked for accepting bribes and Paul Merson famously breaking down and admitting his cocaine
and alcohol addiction.

Arsène Wenger will be feeling very sad tonight. Not just the sadness you feel when you're
disappointed with yourself, but a certain sadness trailed by the desperation and helplessness of
knowing you're in a corner and you may well have put yourself there.

While Arsenal supporters are irate at Barcelona's penny-pinching over the transfer of Cesc
Fabregas, they should in fact be grateful to the Catalan club for the amount of income they are
responsible for over the last decade. Since 2000, Arsenal has generated €310m from the sale of
players.

Edwin van der Sar's testimonial evening at the Amsterdam Arena last night was a three-pronged
affair, with the festivities opening with a match between Ajax U13s and Manchester United U13s,
with Poppa van der Sar's son Joe turning out for United.
Secondly, an Ajax '95 side took on Holland '98 with Marc Overmars scoring the only goal of the
game for the Amsterdammers, and a bit of a beaut it was too.
A sight as synonymous with Arsenal as a 40-pass move which culminates in a miss-hit shot from
Nicklas Bendtner, there is a banner at the Emirates Stadium which famously reads: "In Arsene we
trust."
Arsene Wenger enjoys absolute and unwavering support from the club's fans and, while few
managers have had such a profound influence on the Premier League, his tenure could soon enter a
state of critical importance.
With the lack of any recent news going on, I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane to a time
when our team won a couple of trophies. I thought the Gervinho deal would be completed by now, and
Darren is still planning on doing a report on that if/when it ever happens. Until there's some
actual news, you're stuck with me again.

When I sing the song "We're the boys in Red and White, and we're fucking dynamite", a number of
iconic players run through my mind. Rocky Rocastle, Anders Limpar, Marc Overmars, Freddy Ljungberg,
Robert Pires sprint through my inner thoughts, terrorising defences as they go.
Liverpool have officially announced an agreement with Andy Carrol for £35m (€41m) plus
bonuses. Deep breath.
To put this in perspective, he's now the 18th most expensive outlay in the history of football,
just between Ballon d'Or winner Pavel Nedved and World Cup winner David Villa. That's a good place
for Carroll's 14 top-flight goals, solitary international cap and the big bread winner, his English
birth certificate.

~We're going to the Wembley~
Arsenal go into their Carling Cup semi-final 1-0 down on aggregate against Ipswich, but have
home advantage in the second leg as they look to get to the Wembley final.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger says January's heavy fixture list has left him with "no
choice" but to rotate his squad following the 3-0 win over Wigan.
