THOSE WORLD SOCCER WEEKLY GUYS HITTING OUR TV SCREENS THIS AUGUST Farewell to two enigmas
Jun 11

Couple quick items ~ Look for Kanu and Wiltord (to Spurs) to get snatched up soon.

Jill Smith from Arsenal asked me to pass the following information along:

Following a fantastic end to the season, Arsenal FC is coordinating a photography exhibition to run in the North Bank concourse from 16th June for seven weeks.



The Club has teamed up with Fuji Film and will host the unique exhibition, featuring classic Highbury moments and great action shots from recent seasons. It will also include a gallery of selected images dedicated to the current record breaking season, so you can reflect on the historical run that saw the team remain unbeaten and relive that moment when the team celebrated on the turf at White Hart Lane once again!

The Premiership trophy will also be present within the North Bank throughout the exhibition, and supporters are able to book to have their picture taken with the trophy by calling 020 7704 4500, lines open Monday to Friday 9.40am - 4pm.

Also, in the coming weeks and months be sure to check the site for news regarding a new Arsenal book and a couple of really sharp artists who have created some great Arsenal-inspired art.

Finally, I predict that England loses to Arsen, I mean France, 3-1.

    Rick…

    where is your info on Kanu and Wiltord coming from? I certainly expect both to find greener pastures… or at least more playing time elsewhere, however I have read absolutely ZERO on any websites about possible destinations for either of them. Wiltord to Spurs?! says who? and where is it being reported? The only place I have seen it is here on Arsenal America!!

    It’s been a hot rumor since Santini took over, as it’s well known that Wiltord is a favoritie of his on the French national team.

    Rick you having a Laff. It will be a draw or England to win 1 nil. Even if England loss it will be the Dutch Vs England Finals. The great dutch team will win if and only if they play as a unit. Any bets.

    Oh!!!!!!!!!! As I mentioned some time last Decemeber is now offical. Kanu and Wiltord have been released by the Arsenal. 17 players in total but I have a question mark about Paulinho and Papadopulos.

    I’ll bet you England don’t beat France…!!!
    and I’d love to see Holland do well… they just never seem to play up to their potential.
    France v. Portugal in the finals!

  5. stag133 Says:

    Jwaldman… thanks for the link to the story on Wiltord. Scary Stuff!!! In that it appears that MANY players regard Santini very highly, and would not hesitate to play for Spurs with him as the coach. If he starts bringing in the Wiltords and Lizaru (sp?) from the french team… they will definitely get alot better in a hurry!!! Now we should really be wishing they got relegated!

    Stag, where’s the apology!? Suggesting I’m making things up, indeed!

  7. stag133 Says:

    Rick…

    I apologize for how that read! But honestly, I sincerely just wanted to SEE IT in words somewhere!! I had not seen any mention on any website. I thought perhaps with your in with the club that you had a “mole” giving you the info!

    I guess I just didn’t wanna believe it true… I like both Kanu & Wiltord!

  8. ScottyUS Says:

    Although I haven’t seen anything on the official web site, I’ve read that Freddie has extended his contract for five more years! I think he didn’t have his best year, fighting injuries and so forth, but it seems Wenger finds him valuable enough.

    But damn it, I can’t find the link. It was buried in a story about the 17 man exodus somewhere.

    Stag, No worries, I was just giving you a bit of stick.
