The former French international has spent nine years at United making just over 250 appearances in the process. Click to continue reading...

"Arsene has been looking for experienced cover for Gael Clichy and he knows all about Mikael," said an Arsenal source. Click to continue reading...

After all, they have been doing plenty of laughing at us since the weekend.

Apparently, Arsenal could have signed Arshavin but they couldn't afford his wages.

According to Arshavin's agent Dennis Lachter, Arshavin wanted just too much money.

"Wenger was serious about buying Arshavin," said Lachter in the Daily Express. Click to continue reading...

He may have a head like something off Easter Island and he may have used that head as a battering ram on Freddie Ljungberg, but Mikael Silvestre is capable of providing the experience that Arsene Wenger has been alluding to all summer. The 31-year-old, capable of playing at left back or in central defence, was [. Click to continue reading...

Eboue has turned into a figure of ridicule at Arsenal, he has fallen from grace in a dramatic fashion.  He has lost his rightback position to Sagna, laboured at right wing last season, and now is threatening to make the central midfield position his own.  Wenger has a mild form of myopia when it comes [.

This isn't a slight against Arsenal, any Arsenal player or the Arsenal manager - more a question about Wenger's management methods.

Only a few, quite uninteresting transfers to tell you about today. Stoke City have signed Southampton defender Andrew Davies and Ipswich have agreed a fee with Newcastle for striker Shola Ameobi. Emmanuel Adebayor has signed a new long-term deal at Arsenal, and Wenger has called on the Arsenal fans to all get behind him this season. Click to continue reading...

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new deal for Adebayor.

Arsenal confirmed that the striker has signed a new long term contract - and obviously someone running the website has a sense of humour because the picture they used couldn't possibly have been any better.

Wenger's position at Arsenal has been over the years an object of respect, envy and curiosity. How does he get them playing so well so young? How can they keep winning even with a threadbare squad?

XABI ALONSO has told Liverpool he wants to leave Anfield – but is likely to be priced out of a move to Arsenal.

The Spanish midfielder's future has been the subject of debate throughout the summer, particularly with Rafael Benitez intent on signing Gareth Barry.

So here it is. At least. The new season. Are you excited? Chomping at the bit? Psyched? Pumped?

Yeah, all of those things. As usual on the eve of a big game we hear a lot from Arsene Wenger at his pre-match press conference. Sometimes on a Saturday morning I look at the glut of stories and it's amost intimidating thinking about how to sort them and present them.

Before the 2007/08 season, many critics/pundits were forecasting what would be a negative season for the Gunners. They were too young, too inexperienced - whatever the excuse, this would be the season that would see them fall out of the top four, perhaps only the top three and concede one spot on the table to Liverpool.

To the tune, obviously, of the Grand Old Duke of York:

Ar-------------------sene----------------
Wenger's Arsenal
He had 11 men
He marched them out to the football pitch to collect another win

For when they're up they're up
And when they're down they're down
But when they're only one goal down they can turn it all around Click to continue reading...
