As of 6pm UK time the English transfer window is now closed. I had intended to cover “Deadline Day” in a fair bit of detail but was instead forced to help out a friend with an extremely stressful travel insurance problem here in Berlin. In the end, it seems I didn’t miss much. Indeed the […]

Today is the second in a series of posts reviewing Arsenal’s 2008/09 season. Yesterday I reviewed the performances of our goalkeepers over the course of the season and up for scrutiny today is the Arsenal defence. Unlike yesterday’s post which looked individually at the performances of Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski, this article is more […]
Hello again. The weather here has been marvellous today but just as I sit down to write to you the wind has picked up, there’s some menacing clouds in the sky and I just heard some thunder. Now rain. Eek. Let’s just hope it’s not a bad sign for tonight’s game. That game of course is […]

The French defender has signed a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee at Arsenal – thought to be around £750,000 – and will wear the #18 shirt at his new club. I have to say that […]
It’s official – Mikael Silvestre has signed for Arsenal! I can’t believe it and will talk more about it later today. In the meantime, check out all the details on the official website here.
If someone had told me that Mikaël Silvestre would become an Arsenal this season I think I probably would have kicked them in the shins for wasting my time. But it seems there is a genuine chance that this might just be the case after it was reported that Arsene Wenger is interested in bringing the […]
