Gooners:
If you have not yet purchased your new home shirt, I came across a deal that you might be interested in.
Eastbay.com (known to some as footlocker) is selling home shirts for $69. However, they are also running a “Friends and Family” sale for 30% off. With the $7 shipping charge and no tax (I live in CA), the price is at $55 total!! The only problem is that they are back-ordered until early August, but if you can wait an extra week for your shirt, it’s a great deal. Of course, these shirts are 100% authentic, as eastbay/footlocker is one of the largest...

Well .. Sol Campbell is off to Turkey or Portsmouth or somewhere and while a part of me is sad that Sol chose to leave us I do believe Wenger let him go because he no longer had the one attribute Arsenal must have if Wenger manages them…Speed. Look at it…every player in Arsenal..barring Jens is very very quick . Okay Sendy isn’t but he has other great qualities like leadership in him. Sol has lost that extra speed over the last 2 years and has to rely on his brain rather than trust his legs. So Wenger said he could leave if he wanted to. The wage bill comes down bigtime as...

Three young players impressed me at Bergkamp’s match and gave me hope that they can add some quality to the first team squad, and here they are by order:
1) Traore was one of the best players on the pitch in the first half, I was surprised that he had played, but he did so well to have the trust of Wenger.
He is very similar to Clichy and Cole, maybe better offensively, decent defensively with great tackles and better body, but he is simply so promising, and should have the same impact that Clichy had in his first season.
Clichy will miss around a month of the new season...

With the World Cup winding down, one issue that all fans agree is that diving has increased multiple fold in this competition. And as the WC is a benchmark competition, it can be expected that this trend would spill into club level soccer in increased form soon.
FIFA must take drastic measure just as it has done with the racism issue. It should fight to stamp out this crazy increase in diving, simulation, etc. It destroys the beautiful game. When it comes to soccer, I am also an idealist…I believe in gung-ho, attacking, flair football. FIFA can’t do anything about how teams...

Summer break for Arsenal fans has never been easy. We long to see our Gunners take the pitch; we wait with untold expectation for yet another charge at trophies and glory. And this year, adding to the expectation, we await the sights and sounds of what seems like a breathtaking new stadium.
But I must say the last two summers have seemed much longer than seasons past. Even this year?s crown jewel of football?the 2006 World Cup?has not satisfied my longing for the EPL season to just get under way.
The reason?
The lack of (or perhaps just the slow drip of) Arsenal transfer...

I’ve just watched the highlights of DB10’s testimonial on Fox Sports World Report and I’m confused.
After the reading the report on the game we were 1-0 down at half-time, however when watching the highlights of the game it showed that the teams didn’t change ends at half-time as Arsenal were attacking the same goal in the second half as they were in the first half.
Can someone explain why this was???
