Relax Arsenal fans, it's not the biggest shock in transfer window history! The pictures above show Jack Wilshere as a young whipper-snapper taking a shine to the West Ham strip. Just to make us all feel old, we're pretty sure the likes of Paolo Di Canio trotted about in that very jersey edition. Although the [.
A very quick Saturday round-up for you on a rainy bank holiday Saturday.
There was an expectation that the club would announce the signing of Santi Cazorla yesterday but
it did not transpire. Those sitting F5ing the official site spent a fruitless day, but I wouldn't
worry about it too much.

This question could refer to three different Arsenal players. Reports have linked Barcelona to
Thomas Vermaelen, Ignasi Miquel and now Laurent Koscielny. Don't the Spanish side know any other
teams to look at? The worry for me is that Koscielny, like a couple of other Gunners, only has a
year to run on his current [.
Remember the times when people said that Arsenal would be lucky to get into the Europa League next
season. Believe it or not, it wasn't even half a year back... Now, times have changed. We are no
longer struggling in the bottom half of the table, we are no longer wondering whether we'll be in

Here we go people, the start of four massive games in the space of two weeks with tonight's trip to
one of our favourite places in recent times to take on a deflated and off form Tottenham at
Wembley.
If this game was happening two months ago I would have told you that we would of had no chance to
win this.
Following the departures of Leon Best and Peter Lovenkrands Newcastle United have only three
recognised strikers in our 12/13 squad – fact. A much documented lack of transfer activity has
left countless Geordies despondent with the size of our squad entering a hectic season, yearning
for the signature of a new striker.
At half-time here at Gillette Stadium it is 3-0 AC Milan as they have totally outplayed and
outclassed Olimpia.
Milan started with Robinho, Cassano and Ed Shaarawy up-front and the Honduras sides has not been
able to cope with the movement and interchanging of the three Milan strikers.
All gather around the prayer circle for this man please
The fight continues, probably none the more apt word to be used considering who we are up
against today. Stoke City, have made quite a name for themselves (in our minds at least) since
their promotion to the Premier League. They've managed to make themselves the scourge of Arsenal
fans.
Manchester United's new signing, Shinji Kagawa, has spoken in detail about his move to the club
after a deal was put in place last week.
"United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and I was given a chance to play for
them," he said. "I took a lot of things into consideration, like the fact that they've got
a deep squad, their style of football and it wasn't an easy decision.
Manchester United have today confirmed that Paul Scholes has signed a year long contract
extension to keep him at the club next season.
As the years have gone by, Scholes hasn't played as regularly as he wanted and this was
something that has bothered him for a while. Sir Alex Ferguson had wanted Scholes to carry on
playing but the midfielder decided that he wasn't prepared to play a bit part role so retired.
Danny Welbeck could be an injury worry for both Manchester United and England after he left the
Etihad Stadium wearing a protective boot following United's 1-0 loss to Man City last night.

The recent financial struggles of Portsmouth and Rangers have been the subject of debate amongst
fans. The worry is that maybe your club is not the invincible landmark of history that it once
seemed. The overall financial climate in today's ...
So Sir Alex has come out after the match and made comments directed towards Luis Suarez that he
thinks he is a disgrace and should never play for our club again.
"He's a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club, that certain player should not be allowed to play
for Liverpool again."
I personally think Sir Alex is a Hypocrite with a very short memory of his own "Honourable"
club.

It made perfect sense in 1994. About a year ago my parents sold my childhood home and moved.
Riveting way to start a blog post, naturally. Somewhere in the move, I sincerely hope a
crudely-made sign I made as a 13-year-old survived. It read, "Forza Italia" with a picture of a
blue jersey on it. Also think I wrote, in magic marker, "Goooooalll" and the words "Baggio.
When you're as good as Spain, you don't worry about the usual European Championship quarter-final
stuff like taking penalties or making sure you can keep hold of the ball. That stuff's already
taken for granted. No, the Spanish squad just relax by playing a game of tag, hugging each other
and then prancing round holding [.
Picking up the shirtless, nearly nekkid torch from our other favourite Frenchman, Yoann
Gourcuff, Montpellier's Olivier Giroud decided that the best way bring an end to a fine season of
footy was by allowing his abdominals to bask in Tetu Magazine's spring photoshoot breeze.
It's been many years since Spurs had won at the Reebok and although that ‘hoodoo' had to be
addressed at some point, it was always a worry whether it was going to be a factor.
The end product however was arguably our best result of the season, and although Bolton are in
the bottom three, their form has been decent of late and this match could easily have derailed
thoughts of a final push to the top four placings.
While the FM database let me down a bit with United's new Brazilian trialist, Alfredo, it
appears to have a more fully-realized take on another forward trialist: youth US Nat Stefan Jerome.
Though not all of his stats are defined in the database, most are, and that's enough to provide us
a reasonable picture of where he's at now.
Despite Clint Dempsey setting a new U.S. World Cup qualifying record for fastest goal, the U.S.
still lost to Jamaica for the first time ever on Friday, making their qualification efforts a bit
more difficult. Sitting third, though even with Guatemala on points, in CONCACAF Group A after the
loss to Jamaica has caused a bit of doubt to creep in for some U.
So what is your view on Michael Essien and where do you think he fits into RDM plans this season?.
Let's be honest, he has featured in pre season but since then has had to make do with a place on
the Chelsea bench alongside Oriol Romeu.
It's seems as though Mikel has grabbed the opportunity RDM gave him when he took over and now
remains selected week in, week out by RDM.
Town's first 3 points of the season are an absolute relief.
When the fixture list came out in June there was a real consideration that we may not pick up any
points for the first 3 games of the season.
I hoped for a draw against Blackburn, but did not expect it, and I fully envisaged us coming home
from Watford empty handed: how could we dare to think about anything else against the 'bogey team'!
Dynamo have finally got their man. 27 year-old Honduran Oscar Boniek Garcia who Canetti and Co.
have been trying to get for a year has finally been transferred to Houston. He will be a designated
player. (Houston Dynamo)
Boniek Garcia will likely fit into the right midfield spot, and is expected to propel the
Dynamo to a new level and help in the wide game.
German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, was invited to dinner with the German national squad at the
squad's hotel in Sopot, Poland yesterday. She stopped to talk to everyone from Mesut
Ozil to the chatty Bastian Schweinsteiger and sat next to Captain
Philipp Lahm throughout the session.
...and that's shortly after Lucas Viatri had put Boca 1-0 up over Racing Club in the Argentinian
Clausura at the weekend. Imagine his face when he stubs his toe on the divan or his goldfish goes
down the toilet to goldfish heaven.
Don't worry though, Falcioni doesn't always look like such a miserable sod.
In which, after scoring the winner against Chievo last night, AC Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari
attempts to bestow one of the ballboys with a unique gift his shirt only, the wee lad in question
doesn't appear to want to trade in sweaty cast-offs.
Before last night in Sporting KC's home opener against New England there was a little worry of a
let down in a big atmosphere game, similar to last year's stadium opener against the Chicago Fire.
That turned out to not be a problem though, as Sporting came out from the start last night and took
the game to the Revolution, controlling the game and getting the 3-0 win.
I'm still finding it difficult to get too worked up for this fixture, which is a worry. There's the
usual rabble-rousing and flagrantly biased cock-waving going on in both Derby and Forest online
communities that generally precedes matches between us - but well, much like back in February when
the snow put paid to the scheduled date for the fixture it's a bit difficult to muster much
excitement.
I really think that the situation with these friendlies that "have to" take place right in the
middle of the business end of the season has to be looked at. For me they are pointless as the big
players for big clubs are normally given instructions to only feature for half the game before
being substituted or they withdraw from squads all together.
