By now, most everyone has probably seen the post I added yesterday regarding the Arsenal CD that is due for release in March. Well, in that article, the album’s producers indicate that anyone who’d like to have their name listed in the album’s liner notes is free to contact them via email by February 7th.
I was thinking of how cool it would be to send the entire membership roster of Arsenal America to be included.
I of course wouldn’t do this without permission, so, if you’d like to be listed as a member of Arsenal America in the liner notes of the...

First things first this isnt a rant, its just curiosity & some suggestions?Who knows maybe someone here can help me with it. OK here goes why dont the arsenal players shoot from distance, just think how many goals a season do we score from outside the box and i mean shots from like 25+ yards out.Out of the 75+ goals we scored last season how many were from outside the box (excluding free kicks) i seem to remember pires’s at pool as an awesome shot, nothing else really comes to mind, but an estimate 3-5, thats terrible. I know you’d probably say we dont need to with the awesome...

Dear Fellow Gooners,
I am in the process of researching material for a book I am writing about Arsenal and their fans and I was wondering if you or any of your fellow member?s would like to appear in it?
Following the rcsent problems about racism in football I decided to write a book about Arsenal and its vast array of world supporters. Why does someone in Africa support a team in England? What makes a person in Australia get up in the middle of the night to watch a live game from North London? Why would an Italian from Turin support Arsenal and not Juventus? Why would any American...

Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what must be their last attack … A good ball by Dixon, finding Smith …. For Thomas charging through the midfield … Thomas … it?s up for grabs now … Thomas … right at the end … An unbelievable climax to the league season, well into injury time … The Liverpool players are down, abject … Aldridge is down, Barnes is down, Dalglish just stands there, Nicol?s on his knees, McMahon?s on his knees … suddenly it was Michael Thomas bursting through, the bounce fell his way, he clipped it wide of Grobbelaar...

With no disrespect to Dennis Bergamp, I think Arsene needs to get another world class striker alongside TH. We all saw what happened when the Iceman was injured! TH was our only hope (however, he complained to being overused and tired)!
What I mean is if there was anyone as clear as TH, Arsenal wouldn’t be on goal drought like that. Pires and Reyes were a bit out of form and Van Persie we know is inexperienced in front of goal.
Morientes to me was a good choice if Arsene had been brave enough. Now we’ve allowed Liverpool to sign him.
My problem is, why don’t...

Currently on the Arsenal.com website you can get a “glimpse” of the special maroon kit we will be wearing next season.
Also, you can VOTE on the design of the commemorative patch that will be on our sleeve. There are 5 designs to choose from… so get there and VOTE! or you have nobody to blame but yourself if you don’t like the patch.
PS… I voted #2

Jose Reyes seems to me like a bad buy. There I said it. We blew all our money on one guy last year and right now when we need our biggest investments to pay off we are still having to rely on the same horses.
When we signed JAR, I was like every other gooner in wanting him to be the next superstar and after the Chelsea FA cup game and his wonder goal, I was pretty confident that we had got it right.
Now I am having Charlie Nicholas deja Vu. The odd flash of brilliance and then long periods of ignonimity. The kid is likeable, good looking and seems to have a great attitude. He...

When Tony Adams retired 2 seasons ago, I was worrying how we were going to replace him? Not only that Adams was a very good defender, but more of the fact that he brought us leadership, and an ability to drive the team forward. To put it into a simple phase - He made the players around him better. These type of players don’t come along too often, and it’s fair to say we still haven’t properly replaced the same leadership and drive left behind since Tony’s retirement. Those qualities made Adams an UNIQUE player, and unique players are difficult to replace.
