Poor Arsenal star’s only friend is a little boy 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I think it would be apt to describe William Gallas as eccentric or at least a little
crazy. He sure can defend and he seems to handle captaincy well, when he’s not laying into teammates or crying on the sidelines because of a last minute penalty. His latest comments are really quite genuinely sad.

One keeper who surely won’t be coming to Arsenal! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Jens Lehmann isn’t mad but he isn’t totally sane either. Recent months have shown him to be something of a menace to society. Sitting sulking on the Arsenal
bench as Manuel Almunia deals admirably with oncoming attacks. Jens has also taking to moaning in the press at any given opportunity about this unhappiness at being [...]
Man United slightly older kids spit on Arsenal’s kids 0000-00-00 00:00:00 All this talk of the great youngsters on show at the Emirates has somewhat overshadowed the youthful look of the table toppers at Old Trafford. Sure Sir Alex’s mob may not all be in the same teen years group as Wenger’s but the still have a nucleus of a very young outfit that is already [...] Read more:Arsenal

Messi: Premier League’s Big Four top contenders 0000-00-00 00:00:00 FC Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi
says that the Big Four of the Premier
ship provides the biggest challenge for them in this season’s UEFA Champions League
.
Barca are into the last 8 of the competition this time around and so are the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. While Messi, easily the best bet to [...] Read more:Premier League
Dreams of a £40m Arsenal spending spree may come true this summer 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Given the recent slump in form, no win in five Premier League games, and the dependence on Adebayor for goals from their front men, it’s no surprise to see this duo on the Arsenal
radar again.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is keen on signing Lyon’s £40m pair –highly rated winger Hatem Ben Arfa and his teammate [...] Read more:Dreams
Spurs boss set to cash in on £10m sulking star? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It’s not been a good week for Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas to say the least! Dropped by his club and then by his country, by text no less. And amongst rumours that he threw a bit of a strop after being yanked off at halftime against Chelsea,
Ramos said of Jermaine’s absence from the squad to [...] Read more:Spurs
Arsenal set to sign up Fabregas III, or is it Merida II? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Exciting news indeed! Arsenal
have been heavily linked with a move for Barcelona’s Israeli sensation Guy Asulin. The 16 year old has been tipped for greatness and given Wenger’s track record with kids I would imagine that if he was to leave the Nou Camp then he would no doubt be instructing his agent Pini [...]
Milan Baros: I am still uncertain about future 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Milan Baros is currently on loan at Portsmouth from French giants Olympique Lyon for until the end of the season and although the Czech international striker has been in good form since his loan move to Fratton Park in the summer, he says that he doesn’t know what he will do after the Euro 2008 [...] Read more:Milan
Liverpool’s Kewell out, Reyes In, oh dear lord! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Depending on which Liverpool
fans you speak to Harry Kewell
was at best a player who could have delivered far more in a Red shirt if injuries hadn’t plagued him, but at worst a complete waste of time and money who’s good performances for the Merseysiders could be counted on one hand (even if that [...] Read more:Reyes
West Ham’s Sears v Spurs’ Taarabt: Battle of potential greats 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Freddie Sears
is a name on every West Ham
fans lips in much the same way as Adel Taarabt has become something of a fantasy figure at White Hart Lane, and both have already shown glimpses of their potential ability in the few minutes of Premier League action that they have seen.
Taarabt arrived with an [...] Read more:Spurs

Captain Crazy angers Wenger and could have cost Arsenal the title 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Is William Gallas a little bit mad do you think? His recent behaviour seems to suggest that he isn’t playing with the full pack. His frankly odd character has been again called into question by a number of people, including it seems Arsene Wenger
.
Doubts over Gallas are now being harboured throughout the Arsenal
dressing room. [...] Read more:Captain

Gobby Liverpool midfielder set for three-match ban 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Javier Mascherano must be pretty pretty stupid if he thinks anyone is going to believe his claims that he was the innocent party on Sunday. The Argentine may not have sounded off any expletives to earn his second yellow card of the game against Manchester United, but previous foul-mouthed retorts in the direction of the [...] Read more:Liverpool
Chelsea players ignore their stupid fickle fans 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Football fans are generally a fickle
bunch. Every club has many supporters who will boo a player at a merest hint of a misplaced pass and then cheer them from the rafters when they score the winning goal for their club. Chelsea
’s fanbase is no different and, while it would be wrong to tar them [...]
Rangers Make Sporting Gesture With Free UEFA Tickets 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Glasgow Rangers
have decided to buck the Premiership trend and recognise their loyal supporters at a cost.
Rather than charge them £40 a ticket, Rangers are rewarding fans travelling to Lisbon to support their fight against Sporting
. They have bought up all their allocation and will offer out 2,500 free tickets for the 10th of April [...] Read more:Gesture

Is Manchester United defender the right choice as England captain? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Goodness me - who predicted that? It appeared that the England
captaincy was a toss-up between Steven Gerrard and the thuggish John Terry, although Fabio Capello continues to warm the hearts of decent football-loving folk by giving the armband to Rio Ferdinand, once again drawing a line under the reign of Steve McClaren in the [...] Read more:United

Arsene Wenger geeing up his boys 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Arsenal have steadily slipped down for weeks now and their once comprehensive lead at the top of the table over Manchester United is now no more. So much so that United take hold of the leaderboard by 5 points!
But Gunners manager ArseneWenger
says that his boys can bounce back and claims:
We have to be [...]
Barca keeping Gai Assulin chasers at bay 0000-00-00 00:00:00 FC Barcelona’s youth team La Masia seems to have become a haven for top quality footballers and in football words spread fast. The likes of Lionel Messi, Bojan and Giovanni Dos Santos might have only just emerged out of an intricate and highly efficient youth system at the Catalan giants but Barca
do have yet [...]
Liverpool star has heard it all before 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Xabi Alonso has rolled his eyes and issued what is technically called a “transfer harrumph” after being linked with Real Madrid. It seems that Xabi and Cesc take it in turns to be linked with a move to Real Madrid; Xabi is pretty blase about the transfer gossip, dismissing it like a pungent fart:
“I [...] Read more:Liverpool
Nicky Shorey focusing on Reading as of now 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Reading have been suffering a tormenting season in the Premiership and are yet to assure themselves of not dowing down the gutter into the Championship at the end of the season.
Their best player this season has been Nicky
Shorey and even then he was out of sorts in the early weeks of the season. But [...] Read more:Reading
Steve Bruce raises club vs country issue again 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The club versus country row is back with more venom and this time it is the Wigan Athletic manager SteveBruce
who voices his discontent at international friendlies.
Bruce says:
We’re disappointed with the way we played (last week) and then there’s anger really with the fact I haven’t seen half of the players this week, and [...] Read more:issue
Arsenal defender missing for three weeks 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Things were looking up for Arsenal
midway through the second half of their game against Chelsea on Sunday. Bacary Sagna had headed the Gunners into the lead and it looked as though they were on their way to a priceless victory. However, we all know the way the game turned out and, what’s worse, the [...]
Will ‘Newcastle misfit’ fire Stoke into Premier? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It’s fair to say that Shola Ameobi’s footballing career has never really got going. The gangly striker has made just 95 starting appearances for Newcastle
United in the past eight seasons and it’s therefore a surprise that he’s only decided to go out on loan at this stage of his career. Sky Sports report that [...] Read more:Premier
Arsenal manager has fun with Premier leaders 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yesterday, we reported that Manchester United were responsible for mending Harrison Ford’s back during the filming of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. However, Premier
League rivals Arsenal
can now claim that they helped improve Anglo-French relations after Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy headed to the Emirates Stadium for a kickabout and a chinwag [...] Read more:manager
Chelsea’s Mikel Jon Obi and the £4m forged contract 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Chelsea midfielder Mikel Jon Obi - he of the interchangeable names - is right in the middle of a proper mess. Before yesterday’s revelations, the whole situation was pretty murky, with Mikel initially agreeing to sign for Man Utd from Norwegian club Lyn and then deciding that he was coerced into that and really [...] Read more:Chelsea

Newcastle boss Keegan set to make a big Luque like mistake! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Everyone’s favourite Geordie Toonsters Newcastle
United are set to splurge in the summer and the person at the top of their transfer lust list is none other than former Arsenal striker Jose Antonio Reyes.
The Evening Chronicle reckons that Newcastle will snap up the still rather young (24) year old winger-striker thingy? But [...] Read more:Keegan
Craptastic captain Willy Gallas defended by boss 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger took time out from schmoozing with President Sarkozy to pay tribute to Willy
Gallas, a player that Wenger still maintains is a perfect fit for the Arsenal captaincy. Wenger said:
“He didn’t have the best of performances on Sunday and he would be the first to agree with that, [...]
Controversial Birmingham defender may return against Manchester City 0000-00-00 00:00:00 A month ago, Arsenal’s season took a turn for the worse at St Andrews. Not only did they draw the match 2-2 after leading until the final minute of the game, it also marked the end of Eduardo’s season after an ugly challenge from Martin Taylor broke the Croatian’s leg. While the striker continues to [...] Read more:Controversial

Liverpool captain asks more of Manchester United striker 0000-00-00 00:00:00 England barely looked like scoring against France on Wednesday night. They may have had a few half-chances but it was hardly the sort of attacking performance that will be expected, nay demanded, from the fans. It’s early days in the Fabio Capello regime with the Italian keen on pursuing a 4-5-1 formation, utilising Wayne Rooney [...] Read more:Liverpool

Rafa Benitez rules Stalag Anfield with a fist of steel 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It looks like Rafa’s cold hard exterior is only matched by his cold hard interior — with Liverpool fullback Alvaro Arbeloa blabbing to the press about Rafa’s harsh and inhumane training methods at the Merseysiders’ prison camp training ground. Now we know why Rafa has been sporting that chin hair arrangement, he is [...] Read more:Benitez
Arbeloa lifts lid on Rafa’s strict Liverpool regime 0000-00-00 00:00:00 One player who’s been the least affected by Rafael Benitez’s perceived rotation policy is Alvaro Arbeloa, with the Spaniard featuring regularly for the Reds in the early part of the season before succumbing to injury. The versatile defender made his international debut during the week, although he may incur his club manager’s wrath according to [...] Read more:Liverpool
