Forget the fact that he’ll be out of commission for 6-8 weeks becuase he fell out of his loft, anyone here been thinking about Richard Wright recently?
I haven’t. Remember when he was bucking for an England spot? I haven’t heard his name mentioned for that recently. Was he in the mix for any of the Euro 2004 qualifiers, or even recent friendlies?
Another case of a player who was better at Arsenal than he was before or after his time with us.

Moves we may see in the near future:
Harry Kewell comes in exchange for Pennant and cash.
Pires to Valencia for Canizares or to Inter Milan (maybe in exchange for a defender?).
I would be happy if we brought in Kewell and Canizares. We’d be giving up quality/potential, but we would get quality in return.
Your thoughts?

Back when we were still playing in three competitions, Arsenal America asked it’s members which trophies we would win. 59 people responded and not one said, “Just the FA Cup”.
Shows what we know. Not much.

It was a dark and stormy night.
My girlfriend (now wife) had just flown in from Hong Kong on a 12+ hour flight. I had flown over a few days earlier on business and we were meeting in London, seeing each other for the first time in months. I had but one idea for our first night together in months:
ROADTRIP TO HIGHBURY!
Arsenal was playing Lazio on September 27, 2000 in a driving rain and a match which everyone expected Arsenal to lose. Lazio came in not being the group favorite, but the overall favorite to win the Champions League that season. Arsenal, despite winning...

Yesterday evening I was out celebrating my birthday and I forgot to tape the Wednesday encore of “Dream Team”. Can someone out there fill me in on what happened????
— Oh indeed we can. Nothing went right for poor Ian Coates. His team got hammered by Charlton; he blew up at the ref and was suspended from all team activites by Jerry and Helen decided to babysit for them, not a good idea.
Warren’s sister (who does look like him, nice casting) is up to no good I tell you. She ended up in a catfight with Kelly, the slightly round, slightly loose cafeteria worker....

After performing brilliantly for most of his 13-year Arsenal career, David Seaman has moved on to Manchester City in order to continue to play first team football. Can’t really argue with that.
For his save in the FA Cup semi this year alone, we shoudl all say a big thank you to “Safe Hands.” His skill, if not his ponytail, will be missed. Good luck (36 times a year) Dave.

Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Webmaster Andrew and I have finally put together some Arsenal America merchandise. See it, over there to the right? Pretty cool, huh? Well don’t just look at it, go buy some.
Full disclosure: We tried to keep the prices as low as possible. Neither I nor Andrew are looking to pocket a penny from the sale of these items. Any money we receive (no more than a buck or two per shirt) will go directly into Arsenal America. Specifically, we are looking to get one of those super cool stadium flags that will say Arsenal America and have...

UK papers are going crazy right now. Here’s some of the names being thrown around:
Coming our way:
Harry Kewell from Leeds
Roberto Ayala from Valencia
Guti from Real Madrid
John Carew from Valencia
Leaving:
Ray Parlour
Sylvain Wiltord
If we could bring in those four and finance with the loss of those two I would do it every day and twice on Sunday.
Now, the bad news…
