On Money, Names, and Cakes
By Abby | May 13th, 2008The season is over. And as it was last year, the press is endlessly discussing on how Arsenal is imploding and how we're going to lose all our players. Arsenal fans themselves are fretting about who's going, who won't come, and there's a pessimism th ...
Season over
By travis | May 12th, 2008And that's the end of that. A pretty ho-hum victory over Sunderland. The only goal game from Theo Walcott, who was played in by Gilberto. Great pass, great finish. Hopefully those two will be have a consistent present on the pitche next season. Th ...
Now for some good news
By travis | May 10th, 2008I'll admit the last week has been rough. All that I've posted are rumors of this player or that player leaving. I'm done with the negative - at least for this post. Time to bring in some good news about player movement, along with a quick few thought ...
Auf wiedersehen Jens, Arsenal win

More Flamini news
By travis | May 3rd, 2008The latest report states that Flamini has agreed to a four year deal with Milan. Hopefully, this is for real and the whole thing can be put to bed. It came down to money in the end, as Milan were willing to pay more than Arsenal. Wenger wasn't willin ...

Rams to the slaughter...
By travis | April 27th, 2008Sadly, another meaningless game. Unless of course, both Chelsea and Man United lose all their remaining games. If that happens (odds are about 1 in 10000000000000000), Arsenal wins the league - assuming winning their remaining games. Since that isn't ...

Almunia's Re-Upped, But...
By Abby | April 3rd, 2008So at least one of Arsenal's main performers this year has renewed his contract. Unfortunately for my liking, it's Manuel Almunia and not Mathieu Flamini. Almunia says he wants to finish his career at Arsenal, which is fine. He's been fine. Better th ...
