The Takeover - Pro's & Con's 2007-06-25 12:59:00 Since April 2007, when Stan Kroenke bought into the
club the prospect of a possible takeover has been on the cards. The
American sports tycoon currently owns 12.19% of the clubs shares which
he bought from Granada Ventures (a subsidiary of ITV plc) which has
lead to all the speculation about a possible hostile takeover.
The takeover saga has rumbled on for awhile now and there have been
many media stories about the possible takeover and the clubs future,
but before we get into that lets get the facts straight.The facts are that as of March 27, 2007, Arsenal's market capitalisation value is valued at £415.3m, and
the club made a pre-tax profit of £15.9m in the year ending May 31,
2006. Arsenal are now the 3rd most valuable club in the world behind
Manchester Utd & Real Madrid. Accountants Deloitte rate Arsenal as
ninth in the 2007 Deloitte Football Money League, a ranking of the

Thierry Henry - Arsenal legend & record goal scorer or the captain who jumped ship? 2007-06-23 13:53:00 Oh where to start? Well right now I must admit I feel empty, distraught, devastated, heart broken, dejected and more. Theres no way to smooth this over losing ThierryHenry
IS a massive, massive, blow! Not just for Arsenal
, for the Premier League and all of English football. We've lost the best player in the world, our captain and record goal scorer. But having said all that the impact of losing Henry really does depend on who fills his boots, and not just for Arsenal.Arsenal need a new striker, a new captain but also the Premier League has lost its star man. Barcelona and La Liga have come up trumps on this one. Barca have Ronaldinho, Eto, Messi and now Henry, that is the best strike force in the world and now La Liga really do have the best players in there league. All the above plus Reyes, Torres, Puyol, Deco, Cannavaro ,Alves, Villa, Thuram... I could go on but you get the picture. The EPL still has its stars but La Liga is where the best players play.Back to Henry, I understan Read more:Thierry Henry

Arsenal Football Club: History 2007-05-27 19:30:00 The Early Years (1886–1910)Arsenal
were founded as Dial Square F.C. in 1886 by a group of workers employed by the Dial Square workshop at the Royal Arsenal, an armaments factory in Woolwich, south east London. The team was led by a Scotsman, David Danskin, who purchased the club's first football. Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Fred Beardsley also played for the club, who would later along with Morris Bates obtain a set of red kit from his old club, giving Arsenal the famous colours they still wear today.Dial Square played their first match on December 11, 1886 against Eastern Wanderers on an open field in the Isle of Dogs, which they won 6-0. The club were renamed Royal Arsenal soon after, reportedly on Christmas Day. Royal Arsenal first played on Plumstead Common, but soon sought an alternative home. They first moved to played at the Sportsman Ground in Plumstead and then moved again to the adjacent Manor Ground in 1888. Royal Arsenal then moved to the nearby Invicta Ground Read more:Football
