It's not a trick of the eye, it's not a fancy photoshop job. That is indeed Thierry Henry in an Arsenal shirt, an Arsenal shirt of 2012, wheeling away to celebrate a goal.

And not just any goal, but an Henry goal. Song played in a brilliant through ball that split the two covering defenders, Henry took one touch to control the ball, and himself, and then he curled right into the corner of the net away from the keeper's despairing dive.

Mario Balotelli ist und bleibt der Traum für die englische Boulevardpresse. Selbst wenn er mal nicht direkt selber was angestellt hat, gibt es immer etwas über ihn zu berichten. Selbst in der Musikwelt ist er inzwischen vertreten, auch wenn nicht ganz freiwillig. Der englische Rapper Tinchy Stryder hat sich Mario Balotelli angenommen und ein Lied [.

When it comes to players who played a defensive role in Arsenal's midfield, Arsenal fans will remember the likes of Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit for their excellent ability in controlling the Arsenal midfield. The Romford Pele is fondly remembered too for his 'lungs of steel'. ... Alex Song, though, plays a rather different role [.

Italian giants Inter Milan have been linked with an Arsenal regular who has improved every season and who looks to be on the form of their life. The name Robin Van Persie certainly springs to mind, but it now seems that it's the turn of Alex Song to be noticed for his efforts. According to [...]

With his Arsenal goalscoring record improving year upon year, Alex Song has aimed for continuing this trend, setting himself targets in his increasingly attacking play. Speaking to Arsenal.com, he said, "I'm very happy, although you always want to do more. Last season I scored five goals and this time I'd like to score eight or [.

Rumours are circulating that the ever-dependable Alex Song might not have shaken off a calf strain and so could be replaced by Emmanuel Frimpong in front of the Arsenal back four for tonight's encounter with Marseille at the Emirates. Whilst the general focus is very much on the attacking aspects of both teams – Van [.

There's not much more that needs to be said about Arsenal's memorable 5-3 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday. I could repeat what everyone else has said about the entertainment and sheer brilliance of Robin van Persie, but that would render me somewhat pointless.

So instead I'm going to focus on the performance of the player that interested me the most Andre Santos, our new left-back.

With Drogba suspended – and his record of 13 goals in 14 matches against Arsenal today irrelevant – Torres takes his place in the centre of the Blues' front three, looking to replicate some of the form the aforementioned Ivorian is capable of. However, with Koscielny and Mertesacker looking mightily strong in the middle of [.

Arsenal 2-1 Olympiacos

Whaddya mean, why can't Arsenal do things the easy way? When did we ever do things the easy way? No no no, we can't possibly put the game to bed at the earliest opportunity. Much better to give us all real value for our sky-high ticket prices by keeping the outcome of the game up in the air until the very last minute.

Arsenal midfielder Alex Song has been handed a three-match ban after accepting a charge of violent conduct.

Song was handed the charge after stamping on Newcastle's Joey Barton during Arsenal's goalless draw at St James' Park last weekend.

The incident was missed by referee Peter Walton during the game but the Football Association decided to act after reviewing video footage.

Arsenal's crucial games against Liverpool and Man Utd in the next fortnight just got a little bit harder as it has been revealed that the FA have given a retrospective three-match ban to Alexander Song after his stamp on Joey Barton's legs went unnoticed by the referee. Gervinho was also given a three-game ban for [.

There is an interesting post on the official Arsenal website that seems to suggest that Aaron Ramsey is keen to be Jack Wilshere's partner in the Arsenal midfield next season, with Alex Song as the defensive part of the trio. The article itself mentions that Fabregas and Diaby may split them up when they return [.

Und schon wieder haben wir einen Supersong speziell für die Frauen-WM 2011 ausgegraben. Die Komponisten Adrian Reiter und Thomas Süßmair haben ihr Lied „Fußballgefühle" getauft und ihr werdet schnell merken, was sie damit gemeint haben. Es ist kein Grölllied oder Sauflied, hat dafür aber eine stark gefühlsbetonte Seite und hebt sich damit bewußt von anderen [.

The Arsenal midfielder Alex Song thinks that the answer to to the Gunners' problems this season is simple; they have to stop assuming that there are easy games and hard games, and just play with the same intensity whoever the opponent. The biggest problems started after losing the Carling Cup Final against Birmingham, when every [.

This needs no explanation. Well, except for the fact that it's rather uncomfortable.

Arsenal 1-0 Manchester United

Well, that was fun.

Fresh out of the title race and with the handbrake well and truly off, Arsenal put in the kind of shift and performance that had they happened more frequently this season would have been the benchmark.

That our benchmark has in fact been drawing or losing from winning positions, or not taking our chance to edge ahead even when the opportunity is presented to us on a silver salver, makes yesterday all the more frustrating.

Warning: This blog contains the cliche 'one game at a time'

It's a glorious, bright spring morning in London: perfect for a trip to the Grove. It makes sense to me that if the man in the street gets an uplift from the joys of a beautiful spring day, then the man on the pitch must do too.

I simply write what I believe and do so from the heart.

Arsene Wenger is preparing his team to face Wolves, and he has already given us the good news that Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie will be in the Arsenal line-up despite being withdrawn from their internationals this week. We have not such good news about Sami Nasri though, he won't be ready until next [.

With Djourou suffering an injury in Saturday's 4-4 draw with Newcastle I'm starting to wonder if the team's trophy challenge will once again sputter out as various squad members succumb to injuries.

New star Chelsea FC signing Spanish International forward FERNANDO TORRES now has a song at his new Club. Yes, Chelsea could not be less than Liverpool & have notched up a song that smell every little bit of it as pure Marketing as the "publicity machine" kicks off to recoup part of the Investment in sponsorships & merchandising.

After recently losing Nasri for up to 3 weeks it seems that Arsène Wenger may have another injured player on his hands. Alex Song had to be taken off at half-time during Arsenals 2-1 win over Everton. The defensive midfielder who has been in great form so far this season can not walk and will [...]

Our win against Huddersfield was far tougher than it should've been. We escaped with a hard fought win, but it wasn't without sacrifice.

Nasri is injured for 3 weeks. This is probably the biggest point of contention I have with the game. Nasri is our secondary, or some may argue primary, play maker.

Arsenal 0-0 Manchester City

In the pub beforehand, there wasn't a single member of our party who envisaged anything other than a home win, and some of us thought we might get three goals (I think I went for 2-1). All I can say in hindsight is it's a good job none of us are bookmakers by trade.
