Finger Pointed at the Top
This morning, whipped and battered, I take the unusual step of actually crafting a blog post. Note that I’d love to do this more often but life is a conspiratorial, greedy thing, and she simply doesn’t afford the hours. Last night, Arsenal fans saw a polished Bayern Munich push aside Arsenal in the first leg of Champions League knockout play 3-1 at the Emirates.  I’d add an “easily” but the...

Sorry Sahin
Rumors, reports, tweets and everything else whispered about world football seem to be trending toward Nuri Sahin NOT joining Arsenal as previously suggested. The Turkish player, currently at Real Madrid, now appears headed for Anfield and Liverpool. It’s suggested that Arsenal’s insistence on an option to make the move permanent, unwillingness to match Liverpool’s pick-up...

Around and Around She Goes, Where She Stops...
Nobody Knows.  Every day, it seems, Arsenal are linked to a new player who may or may not come in on a summer transfer. There’s ones like M’Villa, a player who has been pegged to be our new defensive midfielder since what feels like 1,000 months ago. And then there are the hot-then-cold-then-hot-then-cold again rumors, ones life Afellay or Llorente or Someotherlay, players who fit...

The War Between the Richies That's Killing The... →
Boring stuff for Tumblr, I know. But for those that are interested, the link above illustrates the heart of the problem at Arsenal. The board and its number one and only significant minority shareholder hate each other. They are engaged in a very, very, very high-stakes game of poker and our club and its future are firmly in the pot.

“This is an update for the fans about my current situation. I have kept quiet all...”
– Note: Wish I could put some positive spin on the stinker above. These kind of statements do NOT happen by accident so there’s more than a little business slash posturing going on here. Nonetheless, the choice of words do not offer much by way of the possibility of a happy ending. A best case...
