Dzeko, Smalling rumours + Campbell and JET in mystery line-up

Feeling satisfied by my Bolton-bashing, I’ll start the day with a little transfer rumour goodness.
Many have noted, including Le Grove and Myles Palmer, that Arsene Wenger missed training (imagine Tom Cruise missing a Scientology awards evening) the day before the Bolton match and conducted an earlier-than-usual press conference.
It coincides tastily alongside rumours of Arsenal signing [...]

Sol Campbell has me shaking in my boots + Everton preview

At last, a game! At least, that is unless the snow knocks on the terraces’ door once more. Fingers crossed.
But first, to a little transfer speculation – also, if you haven’t read it already, there was some serious news in Angola involving Emmanuel Adebayor. Read the reaction to it here.
We’ve been linked rather spuriously to [...]

Merida off? No matter, we’ve got Rosicky!

A quick post to cover one reported departure and a confirmed signing…of sorts.
Those ’sources in the Spanish capital’ that we love so much claim young upstart Fran Merida is on his way out of Arsenal after apparently signing a contract with Athletico Madrid. If true, the deal will see him join the Liga side once [...]

I can’t stand Luca Toni. Yet still he makes my Xmas striker wish-list

The highest of apologies for a prolonged absence. While I had the health issue as an excuse some days back, it eventually dissipated only to be replaced with a weekend away with family, followed by mega work commitments. The only thing lingering is a rather throaty cough.
Meanwhile, the Arsenal world kept spinning with an expected [...]

Thierry loan talk nonsense + Wenger must prioritise the Carling Cup

Happy December 1st to you all. Far out, that’s the year nearly gone. Not the greatest year for Arsenal granted, but I’m sure we’ve all had a few personal highlights. Arshavin’s fourfer against Liverpool, Fabregas’ 11-second goal against Spurs, van Persie’s consolation penalty against Man United…
Maybe not the last one. Anyways, it seems that the [...]

Would it be cheeky to poach Reina from Liverpool? + Kroenke thoughts

As John Safran likes to say: “I’ve been, thinkin’…” While Arsenal continue to surprise the pundits who cannot research anything beyond Chelsea and Manchester United, alleged title challengers Liverpool continue to flounder in a Rafa-induced turmoil.
While I’ve always had respect for the institution that is Liverpool, Rafa Benitez has really got that club by the [...]

Overconfidence will kill Arsenal – just ask Liverpool

Before I head off to work in the wee-hours of the morning, I have a little news routine I follow: check the ABC’s site for ‘important news’, check Supersport for South African cricket and rugby news, and check my usual sources for Arsenal news.
Sometime this morning, I remembered Aston Villa were throwing the dice at [...]
