I don’t usually post on the weekends unless something really important comes up. Obviously this weekend it has. That’s right, Samir Nasri has finally signed for Arsenal. The attacking midfielder agreed to join Arsenal from Marseille on a long-term contract on an undisclosed fee. Typical. While it’s certainly not as unexpected as, say, Eduardo’s signing […]

The first day of no football since the start of the Euro 2008 has left the journalists with little substance to write about today. But write about things they must continue to do if they are to earn their keep and – surprise, surprise – they’ve chosen to rely on their old friend transfer speculation. First […]
According to a number of sources Samir Nasri has confirmed on his personal website that he has joined Arsenal. Being the respectable blogger that I try to be I naturally seeked out this website in order to see whether this was true for myself. However, there is one slight problem – I can’t speak French. If […]
France are out of Euro 2008 and it’s nothing less than they deserve after three truly horrible performances against Romania, the Netherlands and World Cup holders Italy.

First things first today I just want to say a big ‘thank-you’ to all the Aussie Arsenal supporters who left their comments on yesterday’s post – they were most appreciated. Cheers also to the other supporters around the world who left their thoughts as well. It’s amazing to think this blog has readers from Mexico, France, Switzerland and South Africa […]

I could go on and on about how much I think Hleb’s agent has acted like a twat over […]

Quite a good game too by the way. Somewhat predictably, the transfer of Samir Nasri from Marseille to […]
According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, Marseille’s Samir Nasri will be an Arsenal player by the end of today. The word on the street is that Nasri will arrive in London early this morning (Wednesday) with the intention of undergoing a medical and signing on at Arsenal for a fee worth something around ₤12.5m. As I […]
According to virtually every website and online newspaper around, Marseille’s Samir Nasri is all set to sign for Arsenal. The 20-year-old French attacker looks like he will be leaving Marseille to join Arsenal for a transfer fee worth around £13.5m. I’m usually quite careful not to make unrealistic statements about players joining or leaving the club […]
As you would probably expect – given the conclusion of Arsenal’s season last weekend – there is an absolute flood of transfer speculation coming from the press at the moment. I’ve summarised the lot and listed them here for your benefit. The things I do. Samir Nasri – The 20-year-old Marseille attacker continues to be linked strongly […]
