First of all, I doubt Wenger will ever join Barcelona or Real Madrid as some may have suspected. Those clubs sack managers even after they won them trophies. Wenger likes to BUILD a team, he also likes to have his team playing the kind of football he wants them to play. In short, he needs the freedom to run the whole show. Not in his life time either Barcelona or Real Madrid will be able to offer him such a luxury.
Those Spanish giants’ club Presidents were voted by fans. The easiest way to win votes is to promise fans big name signings. In short, the presidents of those clubs...

Justin Hoyte an English U21, played more than 30 games for Arsenal last season and now he might be sold for only 2 million.
Some unknown English player in Div1 goes for 6 million. Owen Hargreaves goes for 40 million. Bent goes for more than Henry cost Barca!
We all accept that English players are over-priced, so then why not sell Hoyte for 6 or 7 millions pounds?
We saw players like Bentley, Pennant, Upson, .. all went for peanuts.
WHY ???

Beside all the things going behind the front stage, back there in the boardroom, what Arsenal need is an identity.
Henry saying he might leave, I am only worried because there must be a big problem in the back room. I fear that other would follow …
Back to the front stage, where fans can argue and see.
I heard an Englishman saying ” that Arsenal is missing Adams, Kewon, and these guys. They are not missing Vieira and these guys” , I started arguing, but I stopped after 1 minute !!!
Yes, we are missing the English Gunners in the team. Believe it or...

Hey guys.
we have all been talking about the need for new signings. The one thing I believe we have forgotten about is team chemisry. We have several very important players who have not been here very long. Diaby and Rosicky in midfield Gallas at the back along with Adebayor and Walcott up front. Several others have not been in the first team very long (i.e. clichy,Hotye & others).
We saw Manchester United finish first in the league last year with a core line up that has been together for more than a few years. Chelsea were the same the year before. Spurs keep rotating...

Thierry Henry’s departure has most people scared to death that Arsenal are going to be destroyed. I for one have to argue that I believe Henry’s departure to have been the healthy option for the club. Maybe I am just trying to remain optimistic but I believe that more at Arsenal will benefit from his departure. Firstly, Henry was becoming too big of a star and was becoming synonymous with Arsenal Football Club. He was a great player, at one point I believe he was the best player in the world without a doubt, but he was becoming a problem. I felt he had to be involved with everything...

Please visit the link below and update your own calendars.
I thought I had my vacation sorted so as not to miss the opening fixture.
How wrong I was:

Last season, many of us agreed one of our major weaknesses was - putting the ball into the net. Regardless of our defending mistakes, had we able to converted 10% more of the scoring chances we created, things could have been quite different.
Now with Henry left, so where the goals will come from next season? Let’s stick our necks out and make some bold predictions.
1. IF van Persie stays healthy for a full season (he rarely did though), I can see him breaking the 20 mark.
2. And I am expecting a BREAKOUT season from Adebayor. If there is a MOST IMPROVED player award,...

All I read throughout all websites pertaining to the EPL and/or Arsenal FC is doom and gloom scenarios. Correct me if I am wrong, but Arsenal did finish 4th in the table despite some pretty serious injury concerns and inconsistent play from our younger players.
Understandably, in recent years Arsenal fans have come to expect better results than those produced the past two seasons. However this is obviously a team in transition and so it is understandable. When you have as great of a run as they did over a stretch of time, you have to turn over those players. Failure to turn over those...

As you all know, we’ve been upgrading ArsenalAmerica.com and hoped to have a new membership system up in time for ticket requests this year. Unfortunately, the module we want to use has been delayed by the developers, so it looks like for now, we’re going to re-use some of the systems we had last year (which aren’t exactly the best, but will do for a few weeks).
We’re kind of rushing this because in the next four weeks, Rick B is going to be buying tickets for approximately 7 games! This will require a tremendous amount of money in our account–i.e. more than...
