Which Name & Number Did You Go For?

Hleb’s Time To Shine…

Just bought my brand new Arsenal home shirt and had HLEB 13 printed on the back. I really think (and hope) that this guy is really going to be a major star in our team next season!

Lasy year I had FABREGAS 15 on the away shirt and HENRY 14 on the redcurrant kit. The away kit is staying the same except for the ‘Fly Emirates’ logo on the front so I won’t bother getting the new away strip – even though Cesc has changed his number to 4 this season. Do’h!


Last Season’s Shirt With Fabregas 15…

So which name and number did you go for on the back of your new Arsenal shirt? Or did you even bother with one at all?

Cole’s Lucky We Have No Defenders…

Cashley Cole Can F*ck Right Off…

Arsene Wenger has spoke out about Cole and said he wants him to stay at the club, even though the stupid tw*t is hell bent on moving and just about p*ssing off every one at Arsenal at the same time.

Where does this guy get off?

The only position we are stuggling at the moment is at the back. Philippe Senderos is out for up to 3 months, Sol Campbell left us this summer and Lauren & Eboue could be doubts for the start of the new season.

And Cashley knows it.

And another reason why he’s getting away with what he wants is because he’s English.

A lot has been made about the lack of English players at Arsenal and with the departure of Campbell only Cole and Theo remain. With Theo unlikely to start many games next season Cole knows that his ‘English-ness’ is a major factor in not being dropped.

Even Arsene Wenger has said publicly that he wants Cole to stay.

Why the hell would you want this idiot to stay after what he’s been up to? After all, we have Clichy and Flamini who are more that capable replacements.

And we could get at least £15 million for Cole!

Any other manager would kick him out of the team, regardless of talent – examples include Cantona at Leeds, Stam & Beckham at United and even Mutu at Chelski.

Some people are saying Wenger is just saying he wants Cashley to stay to make sure we get the best possible price.

Who knows?

Serie A: From Bad To Worse For Old Arsenal Captain…

Arsenal’s current captain Thierry Henry had been contemplating a move away from Arsenal over most of last season, but thankfully stayed. He’s lost both the Champions League Final and World Cup Final but will be a stronger player because of it. Arsenal’s future is bright with the new Emirates Stadium as our home and some brilliant young players coming through the ranks.

But with the latest revelations coming out of Serie A things aren’t looking so good for our old captain.

Basically Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina have been demoted to Serie B, and Juventus will start next season with a 30-point deduction – almost certainly confining them to the second division for at least 2 seasons.

Lazio have been deducted 7 points and Fiorentina 12, so they have a slightly better chance of getting back into Serie A within one season. That’s if they don’t lose all their players!

All the teams involved in the scandal (Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio and AC Milan) have been barred from European competition, meaning Inter, Roma, Chievo and Palermo will benefit and appear in next seasons Champions League.

And the bottom 3 teams in Serie A – Messina, Lecce and Treviso will stay up as a result.

And Juventus have been stripped of their last two Serie A titles.

Who said the grass was greener on the other side?

Wingers, Wingers, Everywhere….

The latest transfer speculation confuses me – we’ve been linked with numerous wingers, including Javier Saviola, Franck Ribery (although now his agent denies it), and the latest transfer talk is a £5.5 million bid for Chievo Verona winger Franco Semioli.

Although we’ve lost Robert Pires in the summer to Villarreal, we have brought in Tomas Rosicky who can either play in the hole or on the wing. We also have Jose Antonio Reyes – who I think will still be at Arsenal this coming season, Alexander Hleb, Freddie Ljungberg and even Robin van Persie can play wide.

So it doesn’t make sense to me.

After having decent World Cups, Rosicky and van Persie will be looking for first team places this season, Hleb has gradually improved throughout his first season in England and even Theo Walcott will be getting a few first-team opportunities this season.

We don’t need anymore attacking players – Wenger has been grooming the likes of van Persie, Jose Reyes and Walcott to make an impact soon. And don’t forget they’re still kids!

In other news, the new Real Madrid President is yet talking b*llocks again after he said Cesc Fabregas would sign for them. Cesc has turned around and told basically told Real that they can f*ck right off and he’s staying at Arsenal.

Good lad!

And it appears that Cashley Cole is getting married to Girls Are Loud singer Cheryl Tweedy tomorrow, but he has apparently snubbed Arsene Wenger and not invited the Arsenal Manager.

A real nice way to thank the man who gave him his first ever start for the Arsenal first team.

With his upcoming book where he apparently blasts Arsenal for their treatment of him during the Chelski scandal you really have to wonder what the f*ck the guy is doing.

He’s not exactly a fans favourite anymore and to keep pushing Arsenal and their fans just seems totally ludicrous thing to do!

He’s a decent player and at the end of last season things seem to have settled but if he wants to keep taking the p*ss then Wenger should kick him out of the club.

But he’s only one of two English players in the squad isn’t he?

If it was up to me, like most Arsenal fans I wouldn’t be bothered if the versatile Mathieu Flamini was our left back for the start of the Emirates Era.

Cashley can go and join the Galactic Olds!

The Emirates Stadium: It Looks Phenomenal!

I’ve just found a couple of links that show some great photographs of the New Emirates Stadium. Not sure if you guys have seen these but I thought I’d post them up for you anyway!

Emirates Stadium Photographs – 12th June
Emirates Stadium Photographs – 20th June

And there’s also some great shots taken by the Official Arsenal Photographer that can be seen here.

There are two galleries, dated the 12th and 20th of June so you might have already seen them but I haven’t so I thought I’d share them just in case you haven’t.

From the pictures it looks totally state-of-the-art and I’ve been to places like The Nou Camp and The Millennium Stadium but Arsenal’s new home looks better than those!

I’ll be seeing you guys at Mr Bergkamp’s testimonial! 😀
