Deep in a shadowy alley lurk two figures, intent on scuppering ArsenalAmerica’s effort to become an officially recognized… Hey, wait a minute! I’m supposed to be writing this to you in “real life!”
Hi. I’m Charlie Kapp. You may know me better as “G. Rex,” the lovable enemy-fighting foe of such villains as the evil Yevgheny, Miss Prunella Face, and Paul “Gazzo” Gazzoween. But in real life, I’m a computer nerd, and an Arsenal fan since 1984. I am also, while you’ll still have me, Arsenal America’s...

Ed. Note - At Arsenal America we pride ourselves on allowing members to have their say. It’s one of the things that sets us apart. I hope we can all respect each other even if we disagree. That being said, Andez has some thoughts about T. Henry…
I’m getting more and more frustrated watching Thierry Henry play lately. Thierry is one of my favourite current Arsenal players, I love watching his breath-taking skills, and love the joyful, bubbling side of his character. Nevertheless, his workrate has been awful.
So often, I saw we have 9 players bar the ‘keeper...

Ed. Note - These are really my favorite kind of Arsenal America stories. Personal remembrances of special memories and new friends…
In April 2004, amidst planning a two-week vacation in Europe, I fired off an e-mail to a complete stranger asking for help with the most important part of my trip. That stranger, David Przybylinski, quickly responded and explained that he might be able to help me out. He introduced me to another complete stranger, a gentleman by the name of Rick Breese, and between the two of them I finally made it to Highbury ? twice.

Wow. The response has been amazing. In fact, probably too amazing (I’m trying to sort it with Arsenal but we are WAY over what we projected). Those London ArsenalAmerica supporters might be called on for some ticket help as we might need a few extras (keep us in mind).
In the next few minutes, I’ll be sending out an e-mail to those who have contacted me. If you don’t get it and are planning on attending, you need to get ahold of me IMMEDIATELY. If you’ve been on the fence, well now is the time to decide go / no-go.
Looks like it’s going to...

Dear Fellow ArsenalAmericans,
As I stated in my recent email, the decision has been made by the Executive Council to apply to Arsenal FC for ?Official Supporters Club? status. There are several requirements which must be met in order to be considered for such status by the club. The majority of these can be handled be the executive committee, and are rather de rigueur.
However, there are some requirements which will of course need everyone?s involvement, most importantly:
1.) The supporters club must consist of at least 30 due-paying members who are residents of the supporters...

I got the chance to see the game against Man City twice this weekend. None were live broadcasts?grrrr?but that’s another post for another time.
At first I thought the lads looked as if they really couldn’t be “arsed” to be there, aside from Freddie (non-stop running, maybe to make up for a lack of ideas), PV (not yet there, but sweating like h*ll), Lehmann (smart, calmly courageous, intentionally comical after he was barged), and of course, Ashley Cole (arguably the finish of the year). Edu had some bright moments where he nicked a few passes and tried to send...

Hi Guys,
Just reporting in from the English Football mad land of — Hong Kong. I’m down, I got my net up, and I’m dealing with 100s of unanswered e-mails.
But that doesn’t change one fact–we’re going to Highbury in December. If you want in, write me NOW! I’m going to sort through all of this and see if we have any space left. Looks like a great trip.
Andrew@arsenalamerica.com for those don’t know. Drop me a line and I’ll dig out of all this stuff and see what I can do to get us all in to Highbury before Christmas!

Ed. Note - Ok, KY Gunner is our preview guy, but Miranda here has done some solid research…
What do we know about Rosenborg? In my case not a lot, so I did a few minutes’ research. Here are the results:
1. Though they usually win their domestic league, they’re playing poorly at the moment, having just lost 3 games on the trot.
2. They regularly qualify for the CL (this year by beating Maccabi Haifa) and a while back (in 96-97, I think) they actually reached the last 8, knocking out - believe it or not - AC Milan. They’re an experienced side, therefore,...

Ed. Note - Just got this message from recent interview subject, Bobby McMahon…
Rick
You have put together a first class website. I passed on the ULR to my mate in Victoria who was a North Bank man (Charlie George fan) and he is also very impressed.
Cheers

Its not really something most of us haven’t noticed before… but in my opinion, the team chemistry goes a long way in explaining not only why we are so good… but why the streak has continued for so long. (I am hoping this article isn’t the “kiss of death” to the streak!)
