A low key start to the day today, and with the Hleb story still dominating i’ve decided that i should never have to say the man’s name again. So with that in mind if there is ever any need, he shall, from this moment forward, be referred to as Splinter and nothing else people!

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has effectively ruled out a move for Newcastle forward Obafemi Martins. According to the sunday Sun, Wenger has discreetly informed Newcastle United officials he has no interest in signing the Nigerian international. It is reported by the same source he is confident of signing Roque Santa Cruz to replace Adebayor should he leave this summer. The Italian and Spanish media
Arsene Wenger has been branded a "cunning fox" by an official from Andrei Arshavin's current club Zenit St Petersburg. Dennis Lakther, the man who made the comment said: “Arsene Wenger is a cunning fox. “In the morning he says Arshavin will play all the time at his club and during the day he says he doubts the capabilities of Andrei to play three games in a row at the highest level. “But thi
More on the Wenger's press conference today in Vienna. When asked whether he is worried about Adebayor's recent comments, he replied with a smirk:"I am not worried. I can not worry about everything"When pressed on whether Adebayor will be at Arsenal he stated after a long pause:"Ofcourse, he has a three year contract"Clearly there is more to this than what meets the eye and judging by the boss's b
Speaking during a press conference in Vienna ahead of the Euro 2008 final tomorrow, Arsene Wenger was predictably asked questions over the future of Emmanuel Adebayor. Wenger said he was "not worried" and that he does not plan to meet his star striker next week. More to follow...
The usual hubbub surrounding incomings that everyone would like and outgoings. David Silva has not been the subject of any approach by Arsenal according to Valencia whilst the region’s media pointed their finger firmly into the chest of The Daily Telegraph in the way you would see in a playground and said, “He started it”.

Another half-a-month and the transfer window is open again. But even before the transfer window opens some managers have started opening their cheque book. Well, what have Arsene Wenger, the man we Gooners call "The Professor", been doing?Talk about transfer speculation and the first person that comes to your mind should be Hleb or Adebayor. They have been linked to AC Milan and Barcelona, plus a
One of the latest news I received is that Arsene Wenger is renewing his interest in Real Madrid youth starlet Daniel Parejo.Arsenal once had a bid for Parejo rejected, but now it seems that Wenger still want more youth starlets for the future, even after getting Aaron Ramsey.Daniel Parejo is currently playing for Real Madrid's reserve squad, aka Real Madrid Castilla.

Tomas Rosicky will miss Euro 2008 this summer. The Arsenal midfielder, who is the captain of the Czech Republic, has not played since January 26 when he limped off after five minutes against Newcastle with a hamstring problem. Arsène Wenger described the injury as "not a serious one, [...]
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has challenged 30-goal leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor to improve next season - and warned the Togo striker against ending up a "nobody" through complacency. The big African, 24, has this season gone some way to filling the boots of legendary forward Thierry Henry, who hit the personal milestone for five seasons in a row from 2001/02. However, despite finding the net for an impressive streak of nine consecutive games earlier in the campaign, Adebayor lost his magic touch as the Gunners bid for Barclays Premier League and European glory faded. Wenger is in no doubt there is more to come from the frontman, but only if his strict "work ethic" continues. "Emmanuel took his tally to 30 for the season with a hat-trick at Derby, but there is some room for him to

The Gunners are in third place, six points behind United and three adrift of Chelsea, who play Wigan Athletic on Monday. "It depends on what happens on Sunday," added the Arsenal boss.

Arsene Wenger said the he will retire from his carer when he lose his desire for win. The 58 years old Frenchman said on Fridays press conference that he wants to stay in Arsenal London for another 20 years. We all hope that Arsene Wenger will stay at the club as long as he can, because he prove everyday that he is one of the best managers all over the world.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger opinion about abroad games, which will be played after a couple of seasons will be the result of football's inevitable move towards globalisation. He is not surprised that plans were being considered to play a round of top-flight games overseas in a few season's time. It is an interesting view for Wenger to take given that he has famously refused major money to take his side on promotional pre-season tours.
The new England coach Fabio Capello has visited his college Arsene Wenger few weeks ago, the Italian coach cames to Arsenal's training ground to talk with Arsene about the situation in English football.

Today is first game for Fabio Capello as England's manager, his team will face Switzerland in friendly game at Wembley.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is reluctant to splash out cash during the January transfer window.The Gunners will be without first-choice center back Kolo Toure for large parts of January and February due to the African Cup of Nations, and it was speculated that the Arsenal manager would purchase a short-term replacement for the Ivorian in January.However, it now seems as though Wenger will recall Johann Djourou from a loan at Birmingham and settle for three central defenders - William Gallas, Philippe Senderos, and Djourou."Kolo Toure goes off to the African Nations Cup shortly and we may lose Alex Song for it as well," said the Arsenal boss."Even with Johan Djourou returning from Birmingham we would then be left with three specialist center-backs."If I signed another one we'd have too many after the African Nations. Sometimes you just have to suffer during the tournament and let your players play."Philippe Senderos apparently thinks he is ready for the increased amount of playing time,
Arsene Wenger will continue to blood his youngsters in the Carling Cup, even against the tough opposition of Blackburn. The Arsenal coach feels that playing a young squad will not only increase the experience of Arsenal's fringe players, but also allow the Gunners' senior squad a chance to rest during period congested with fixtures."The Carling Cup is more of a squad game, because we decided as a squad to go for every single trophy. Many players that didn't play against Chelsea will play at Blackburn on Tuesday night," the coach told Arsenal.com"My expectation is to qualify and go into the semi-finals, because we want to come back as well as we did last year and as well it is a good opportunity for my squad to show how strong the players who didn't play against Chelsea are."I believe in them, and it is good (for the fringe players) to show me 'we knock at the door and we want to play in the first team'."We use the competition for our players to grow up - but not only to grow up.

Arsene Wenger said before the international break that he feared that the international break might result in injuries to key members of his Arsenal squad, and he couldn't have been more right.We learned that Mathieu Flamini and Abou Diaby had been hurt during their international matches for France and the French U21 team respectively, after Saturday's matches.Today, more bad news came, as Alex Hleb hobbled out of his country's game at half time and although Belarus went on beat the Netherlands 2-1, he looks to be out for two weeks.This means that Wenger will be unable to start three of his four first choice midfielders against Wigan on Saturday, with Cesc Fabregas out due to suspension. Lassana Diarra, Neves Denilson, and Gilberto should all get a chance to break back into the side.In other news, Robin van Persie's recovery is coming along nicely and he has returned to training. He may not start at Wigan but he will most likely feature at some point during the match.As for the oth
Despite the lack of club football, there’s still a little bit going on around the Arsenal Football Club at the moment.
Kicking things off with a little bit of transfer news and Dynamo Zagreb and Croatian international midfielder Luca Modric, who was previously thought to be a target of Arsenal, has stated his intent to play in the English Premiership.
“I’d love to play in the Premiership. I’d like things to happen soon and it’s possible maybe even this winter. I don’t have a preference for a club. There are a few big clubs in England where I would love to play.”
There were huge rumours circulating just after Arsene Wenger signed Eduardo da Silva that he would be following up by bringing Modric to Arsenal as well. However, these never eventuated and although Modric is unquestionably a fine player, I can’t see them eventuating now either. There a couple of reasons for this; the first being that he is too similar to both Tomas Rosicky and A
Arsene Wenger has revealed that he does not yet have any particular transfer targets, although he would like to strengthen one of his squad's positions.However, the Arsenal manager refused to say which position he would splash cash in."It is not impossible," he said in response to a question asking if he would spend in January. "I don’t think I will get anybody in but if I get one opportunity in one area then I will not neglect it."The fact that Wenger will not spend a large part of his allegedly huge transfer window allotment will come as a disappointment to some Arsenal fans, but Arsenal's position at the top of the Premier League would imply they don't need to spend too much.One piece of evidence that particularly defends Arsene Wenger's decision not to spend big in January is Arsenal's current success.Despite signing only five players and losing talismanic striker Thierry Henry last summary (read a summary of all the ins and outs of the transfer window here) Arsenal's young
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested that it was the Arsenal youth academy which kept Reading in the Premiership last season.Reading currently have three former Arsenal youth academy players in their squad, one who is eligible to play against Arsenal tomorrow (James Harper) and two out on loan (Graham Stack and John Halls).Last season, the Royals were reliant upon Harper and another former Gunner, Steve Sidwell, in the heart of their midfield.Wenger, who has recently come under fire due to the lack of English players in his squad, has struck back at his detractors, claiming that while Theo Walcott may be the only English player at Arsenal, the club has strengthened the English national team by helping smaller teams along."The rule for success," he said, "is just live around Arsenal and pick off the players who do not make it completely and I promise you will have a very good team."There are very good players who will not all make it here but when they drop out they will still ma

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is undoubtedly one of the best talent spotters in football.During his tenure as manager in London, the Frenchman has signed relative unknowns such Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, and Robert Pires, assembling the first unbeaten team in the top tier of English football since Preston North End in 1889.Since then the Arsenal coach has continued to buy fabulous talents at low prices. Robin van Persie cost Arsenal around £3. Gael Clichy was signed for £250,000. Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal's linchpin in midfield, came the Gunners for free from Barcelona at the tender age of 16.Arsenal also has some bright talents on the verge of breaking into the first team squad. Mathieu Flamini, who has recently been chosen ahead of Gilberto Silva as Arsenal's defensive midfielder came for free, as did Nicklas Bendtner. In fact, of Arsenal's young stars, only Theo Walcott was expensive, costing Arsene Wenger £5 million which could raise to a a possible £12 million, still a deal
Traditional football theory suggests Liverpool will concentrate on the league if they fail to claim the three wins to reach the knockout stages of Europe’s top club competition, although Wenger doubts whether this would be the case. (Read the full post about ‘Wenger warns Reds over Europe’…)
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is firmly opposed to Sepp Blatter's proposed player quota. The FIFA President's plan would limit each team to only five foreign players, decimating the Arsenal squad.Wenger, who's team is often criticized for its lack of English players believes that the quota would destroy the EPL's reputation as the best footballing Premier League in the world."It would kill the Premier League at the moment for being the best league in the world, certainly," said Wenger. "Why? Because you can see a massive reduction in the quality. If you have the choice between 200 million players or 50 million players, it is less good. It is as simple as that."It will protect the bad players, or those who are not good enough. Also, if the best English players play with the best world-class players, then they will be even better and develop quicker." The Arsenal boss also feels that it is not his job to look out for nationality, but rather to search for the best players he can find. Ev
The Premier League leaders had the better of possession all night against a side who had never before lost to English opposition in Europe. That record, though, was always going to be severely tested by Wenger’s men, who continue to go from strength to strength. After seeing Cesc Fabregas blaze an early chance over the bar from close range and then surviving a brief rally by the hosts, Robin van Persie struck with 15 minutes left to ensure Arsenal’s impressive opening to the new campaign continues with a ninth straight win. Wenger said: “We decided to put pace in the game and score early, but we did not manage to do it. (Read the full post about ‘Wenger happy with cool Gunners’…)
Sounds ridiculous, not so?, i just thought a while when the news broke that the special one had been given the sack in a special way. Never mind that this happened after arsenal humbled Sevilla, just coming on the aftermath of a humiliating draw between Chelsea and Rosneberg and ofcourse dont forgot; that last sumptous quote of the eggs and the Omlette from the special one. I could not avoid thinking Arsen Wenger's team had a hand in Morinho's sacking. Just before the match against Sevilla i had a discussion with friends and i gave them an emphatic word the "The special one will not last this season", Well if i am not a prophet, then i must be the son of one. What suprised me was how soon this prophecy had come to pass.
I have always believed that the special one was operating on borrowed time from the day he stepped into Ranieri's shoes and after watching his first couple of matches. Ranieri despite his success with the club (albeit in ha

Arsenal, menajeri Arsen Wenger'in sezon sonunda biten sözleşmesini 2011 yılına kadar uzattı. Sezon başına 4 milyon sterlin alacağı açıklanan Fransız teknik adam, "Arsenal benim hayatımın kulübü. Asla ayrılmak gibi bir düşüncem olmadı. Taraftara karşı sorumluluklarım var ve onlar için yeni başarılar kazanmak amacıyla çalışmaya devam edeceğim" dedi. Transfer sezonunda Real Madrid'den gelen teklifi Wenger ile çalışmak için reddeden genç futbolcu Cesc Fabregas da, "Daha 20 yaşındayım ve futbol oynarken keyif almak istiyorum. Bu takım ve Wenger için kupalar kazanmak en büyük hedefim" dedi. 1996 yılında Japonyanın Grampus Eight takımından Arsenal'e gelen 57 yaşındaki teknik adam, Londra kulübüyle 3 lig şampiyonluğu ve 4 federasyon kupası kazanmıştı.

It's great news for all Arsenal fans as reports are out suggesting that Arsene Wenger has agreed to a new deal. This deal will keep him in the club until 2010.After the good start to the season, this is another good news that'll boost the team confidence and eliminate all uncertainties that existed. There were many claims during the pre-season that Wenger will leave the club after Dein was sacked. The rumors became strong after Henry's departure when he claimed that he left because of the uncertainty over Wenger's future. And to rub it into Arsenal fans, reports started flowing in that Fabregas was also leaving unless Wenger stays. Wenger has brushed aside any comments that he is not comfortable when Dein is not around by doing what he does best. By managing our club as usual. He signed more young prospects and for me it was pretty clear back then itself that he will stay here longer. For some reason it wasn't clear for Henry. Either Henry was making an excuse, or Wenger refused
Evening all. It’s been a while since my last post, been working my tits off and travelling all over the place. I’ve been pretty pleased with the Arsenal performances so far this season (caught all but the Champs League games due to those thieving bastards Satana), yes there have been moments to moan about but I’m a realistic bloke and I think that the lads are doing extremely well.
However, I must admit I’m getting a bit sick of reading stuff about how great the Invincibles were all over the web. Wenger needs this player, Wenger needs that etc etc. There are one or two out on the www that give their opinions and then acquiesce and say that they’ll be content with what we’ve got, and I can respect that, I’m not aiming this at these guys. I’m annoyed at the constant whiners, the one’s that continually look back over their shoulders at the Viera, Henry, Pires et-al era every time they want to bitch about the current squad and just slag
Antonio Puerta (1984-2007)
Before I move onto Arsenal news I would like to take some time to reflect on the death of 22-year-old Spanish footballer Antonio Puerta, who passed away yesterday after failing to recover from the multiple heart attacks he suffered during his club side Sevilla’s match against Getafe on the weekend. I do not personally know too much about Puerta as a player or a man but on reading the news that he was expecting his first child in October, this really was a tragedy. The reactions of some of his teammates - Andreas Hinkel, for example - really say it all. I strongly encourage you to read the wise words of Arseblogger and his comments on Puerta’s death and hope that the incident can help shed some insight into the things that really matter in your own lives.
