There’s a game on tonight but for some reason I am thinking about transfers. Cesc is gone — for those that missed it — for an enormous sum of money. Nasri is probably on his way too, to Manchester City, and that should only increase our transfer funds. But how will it be spent? Splashed […]

So much has gone on in the past few days it defies belief. Our boys started the season with a respectable 0-0 draw at St James’s Park, Gervinho got red-carded on his debut for slapping Joey Barton, Alex Song looks set to join him in the naughty room after his stamp on the same man […]
Sit back and watch the best of the 2011/2012 Premier League season live with Sky Sports HD. The prospective news that the FA may call off the opening round of Premier League fixtures could prove to be a minor blessing in disguise for the Arsenal. With the exits of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri approaching […]
The following is a guest post from Gareth McKnight of Soccerlens.com. The next two weeks may very well make or break Arsenal’s season, as the ongoing transfer sagas of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri are potentially set to be solved, and the current squad’s abilities to be assessed on the upcoming pre-season tour to Asia.

I’m writing the report for this game super early this time, partly to make up for the lateness of last week’s post and partly because I’m just so bloody excited we managed to win! Our boys scored three of the sort of goals that only a team like Blackpool will concede to secure a 3-1 […]
Today in Barcelona I scaled the heights of Gaudí’s unbelievable Güell Park and had this lovely photo taken. Notice anything interesting about my shirt?! That’ll show ’em! You can get your Captain Fabregas shirts or any others in The AFCB Shop by clicking here. They’re rather good, if I do say so myself, and buying […]
When Jermaine Pennant lined up his last-minute free-kick last night I was extremely worried. The result seemed to hinge on the result of this moment, our good defending and another league sheet counting for nothing if the ex-Arsenal ex-con slipped his shot into the back of the net. At that moment our early domination seemed […]
Please listen to this song while reading the post… Laurent Koscielny intercepts the ball for what feels like the hundredth time. He stops Barcelona’s attack dead like a wave breaking on a rocky shore. He pauses for a moment, deliberating over what to do with his second or two in space. Soon confronted by an […]
It’s Arsenal v Barcelona tonight and while you might think I’m stressed out about it, I’m not. I reckon we’re going to give them a hell of a game tonight and my goodness I’m going to enjoy it. I analysed this fixture to death last season and in the end my words were virtually useless […]
Just opening up a thread for comments and discussion on today’s game. Some potential talking points to get things going: Lukasz Fabianski’s season-ending surgery, Alex Song and Denilson out for the game and Cesc Fabregas’ week-long asassination in the media. Enjoy!
