I’m delighted to announce today the latest addition to the Arsenal FC Blog Shop. “Chibi Cesc!!” is an ode to our beloved captain, who leads like a king but plays with the enthusiasm and vigour of a child. Inspired by the iconic Japanese cartoon Captain Tsubsa (aka Olive & Tom) “Chibi Cesc!!” is designed by […]

This is not a proper match report — I am still in Sweden for another two days and things will get back to normal for the Manchester City game on Wednesday — but a quick look at the things that stood out to me in our comfortable win over Birmingham. Firstly, the squad rotation. Arsene […]
With Christmas fast approaching and Arsenal sitting atop the Premier League (woo!!) I have decided to slash prices in The AFCB Shop. Think of it as a huge thank-you to everybody who has read, commented and generally participated in the Arsenal FC Blog for 2010. Every single shirt is now on sale for the brilliant […]
I have a real Christmas treat for you today. Three terrific new t-shirt designs have been added to The AFCB Shop and even better, for TODAY ONLY, they are 15% off. The new shirts — Captain Fabregas, Theo, and Supernick — are part of an Arsenal Superhero series by Moonshine Madness and feature brilliant parody […]
Tomorrow is the first proper North London Derby of the season and it’s building up to be quite a match. Aside from the usual city bragging rights both teams have something to prove. If we win we go top of the Premier League for the first time this season and rubber stamp our title credentials. […]

Cesc has stated that he believes this week’s […]
Last night’s 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk was one of the easiest European victories in recent seasons. We’ve thumped Slavia Prague 7-0, crushed Braga 6-0 and thrashed countless other teams, but it is hard to remember a more comfortable Champions League fixture than Shakhtar, a club that I believed to genuinely threaten us for top […]
Arsenal play host to Eduardo and his new buddies from Shakhtar Donetsk tonight in a game that Arsene Wenger believes will “give us an opportunity to basically think we have qualified” if three points are secured. A quick glance at the table shows he’s probably right: both Arsenal and Shakhtar sit on six points with […]
