Ed. Note - If you are not familiar with TOFFS definitely give them a look. Even if you don’t end up buying something it’s just cool to see the vintage kits. Also makes a great holiday gift. Here’s Clarkey with a (well written) review…
The Old Fashioned Football Shirt Company (TOFFS) (www.toffs.com) is an English business which started by selling retro style replica football tops, and have now also branched into retro style shorts, track jackets, and traditional bar scarves.
TOFFS have a gigantic selection. At the latest count, they have 25 Arsenal clothing...

Great stuff in the post below. All your comments are appreciated.
Obviously this site (or any site for that matter) can’t please everyone. Nor can any site be at the top of its game at all times. I do think however that we (ArseAm management) need to do a better job in some areas, and that you (ArseAm members) can play a part as well.
Normally I wouldn’t bother you guys with sob stories, especially when many people would consider me lucky. Since June I have been to Germany (x2), Brazil (x2), England (x3), Hungary, France, Switzerland and am headed back to Germany in...

I’ll be honest, I’m getting a bit tired of things around here. It seems we’ve devolved into two camps: The “Imminent Disaster is Around the Corner” gang and the “Up the Arse!” brigade.
Arsenal won their fifth Champions League match on the trot and I see comments about how rubbish the team was. They won the game for Pete’s sake, can we give them a couple of hours to savour that?
Back in the day Arsenal America used to have posts that provoked real discussion; that tickled the funny bone; that generated real debate, not this ‘the...

After many years of struggle, with no reason to give thanks, November is shaping to be alright this time around. A decent result today against Thun secures first place in the Group and in the League the Arsenal have slowly worked their way up to third. All things considered, that’s not bad. Key injuries to Henry, Cole, Hleb, etc. and Arsenal remain on positive footing.
Catching Chelsea would require a lot of help from others, but I think some of the dire predictions of just 5-6 weeks ago are fading into the darkness. Hopefully the team can keep it going into the New Year and then...

The holidays are right around the corner and we here at ArseAm have a great gift suggestion - how about a 2006 Arsenal wall calendar? Great for the Gooner in your life - or you, you selfish bastard.
The folks at Danilo have once again put together a really sharp looking calendar. Excellent photographs, vividly rendered, make this a perfect item that you’ll enjoy looking at every day - which is good since this is a calendar.
So, hit the link above to purchase directly. Of course since this is Arsenal America, we’ve...

I hate Roy Keane. Let nobody dispute that. But now that he is without a club maybe Wenger can give him a trial to see to see whether his recent substandard performances are a result of him feeling his 34 years or if his heart was not in it. If it is the latter, and please tell me if this is crazy talk, but I cannot think of a premiership midfielder that would better compliment rising stars Cesc and Flamini.
Keano just walked out of Old Trafford, a quarter way through the season so obviously he is pissed.
If...

Paul Jewell, manager of Wigan, thinks that people have forgotten that his club sit 2nd in the Premiership table. He’s right! ManUtd beat Chelsea and the press were excited that the lead in the Prem was down to 10 with a match in hand. Funny thing is,the press forgot poor Wigan and Bolton sit in 3rd. The fact is that Wigan are in second and deserve, at the least, a little respect from the press. That respect goes for the Gunners, too, as this little known opponent may be in second for a reason.
Unlike promoted sides of old, Wigan play an energetic 4-4-2. They have abandoned the...

This is a question for all the Londoners.
Did your father, or grandfather, or anyone else you know ever talk about the time the Nazis came to Tottenham? I’m talking about the England v Germany international match in 1935, a game which had obviously massive political significance.
Or, do you know anyone who was alive at this time who talked of the 1938 England v Germany international match held in Germany, when the England team gave the Nazi salute prior to kickoff?
If not specifically England-related, how about anything Arsenal-related from the 1930’s that...

Clichy gets injured for a couple of months and now Arsenal have no leftback….we are use to this stuff this season with so many injuries all coincidently after international breaks…AW must surely laugh now as that is all he can do really!!
But my point is that it now also seems that Chelsea’s luck has finally started to erode a little bit…I do not think they will collapse but even a few minor hits here and there and doubts start to creep in all the players minds….coupled with the news that apart from Carlton Cole, Chelsea have no fit forward and problems with...
