One of the questions that keeps popping up is where Arsenal suddenly found the money to go out and get Reyes. We heard for months and months that there was little money available and even Le Boss said that the chances of a signing happening in the transfer window was around 20%. Then all of a sudden we splash out 20 million GBP for one player, albeit a damn good one. So what gives?
Final results matters and with football each team is capable of winning. Ok we won yesterday and I have to salute DB10 and the guys for a good show. All Gunners were looking for a win and damn 4-1. Wicked.
Solid effort here from a new member (or maybe just a first time poster)…
Since the signing of Reyes and the work of DBjr in the FA cup, the words versitile and creative have surrounded the Arsenal and its players young and old. Le Boss’ methods of training and strategy seem to indicate that these traits are what is essential to his idea of the Arsenal in the comming seasons: a team which is able to stun its opponnets not only through a reputation of excellence but also by exceeding all others in its cerebral nature.
Things are going really well at present, lots of scandal about Man Utd, talk of bungs and law suits etc, not to mention the drug test saga that just won’t go away. Did I mention both of our close rivals dropping points of late? Yeah, its hard not to smile when the media start on others for a change!
Carling Cup 2nd Leg Delayed
Tonight’s 2nd Leg of the Carling Cup semis at Middlesbrough has been postponed due to freezing weather. It will be played next Tuesday (February 3rd), opening up the possibility that Reyes could play, depending on when he officially joins the club and if and when he has to serve his pending one-match suspension.
For those of you looking for video footage of Reyes, check out these links.
Scroll down and look for the Reyes goals, once you find them, just click on the little video camera icon on the right. The brilliance of his goals rival Henry.
Sepp Herberger, who coached Germany to the 1954 World Cup is famous for saying, ?the ball is round.? By that he meant you never know what might happen in a game, or for that matter life. People change, games change, for any number of little reasons. While that may be true, here is something that I am certain of:
Arsene Wenger is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Following up on our story about Spike Lee and Thierry Henry attending the New York Knicks game last week, we now have a photo from BigSoccer.com

As Webmaster Andrew mentioned earlier this week, we’ve seen a massive increase in traffic since signing up with newsnow.co.uk. What kind of increase? Well, we’ve gone from 600 visits a day being good to 6000 visits a day. We’ve gone from a story getting 30 reads to stories getting 800 reads. We’ve gone from getting about two new members every three days to getting about 10 new members every day.
Earlier today we hit member number 500 (Welcome aboard, DB-10!). I think we’ve all noticed the increase in comments and posts from members. I want to say welcome...

This news that this Reyes kid has been signed can only mean the end of Sylvain Wiltord. This new signing creates a log jam at the position with Wiltord, Henry, Bergkamp, Aliadiere, Kanu etc…. But with Wiltord unable to reach an agreement with the club, and a horrible season this year, he’ll probably be out on a free transfer at the end of the season… He was a good player, and I really don’t expect to see him in the red of Arsenal next season. You were a good Gunner Sylvain!! Thanks for scoring that goal at Old Trafford in the Double Season!!
