AC Milan have today announced that Mathieu Flamini has signed a 4-year deal to play in Serie A starting on June 1. The Frenchman leaves Arsenal on a free, as he is out of contract with the Gunners. What this means for Arsenal going forward is perfect debate fodder, so have at it. I for one think we’ll be fine without him. He was a great player for us in midfield this past season, and did the job at the back when Wenger needed him in 06, but, like Gloria Gaynor and the Grateful Dead, we will survive.

BBC Sport is reporting on its website that “sources at Arsenal Football Club say former Chelsea boss, José Mourinho is in talks to replace Arsene Wenger as the North London club’s manager next season.
The deal reportedly would allow Wenger to move into a vice-chairman position not unlike the one David Dein held duing his time with the club”.

Looking at the fixture list, the draw means that the two clubs will face each other three times in as few as eight days, as Liverpool also visit the Grove for a league match on Saturday April 5.
The winner of this tie will face the winner of the Chelsea-Fenerbache matchup in the semi-finals.

In the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup which took place just moments ago in London, Arsenal were drawn away to Man United.
The match will take place the weekend of February 16/17, and you’ve got to figure that with a glamour tie such as this, it’ll be on Setanta PPV, but nothing’s certain yet.
One thing is certain, that’s going to be one hell of week...

OK, Bay Area Gooners, it’s derby time, so come on down to cheer the Gunners on against Spurs!

Match time is 4:45AM PST but Maggie’s is showing it (tape-delayed) at 8:00AM.
Maggie McGarrys, a pub in North Beach regularly shows Premiership action on their 5 flat-screen televisions, and anyone who’s heard the bartender, Patrick’s tales of the football he saw growing up in England, knows it’s a great place to catch a match! Maggie’s is fast becoming Arsenal headquarters for Bay Area Gooners!

It’s Spurs.
We all knew it would be, and sure enough, Arsenal were drawn against Spurs for the semi-final round of the Carling Cup. The semi-final is a two-legged tie, and the first match will take place at the Grove on either the 8th or 9th of January, while the second will be at Spurs the week of January 21st.
In the other tie, it’s Chelsea v Everton, so a rematch of last year’s controversial final is still a possibility.

The draw for the third round of the FA Cup took place yesterday, and Arsenal were drawn away to Burnley. The Championship side are currently 9th in the table, and will host the Gunners the weekend of January 5/6.
UPDATE - The match is now scheduled for 9 AM ET on Sunday the 6th. The BBC will be showing it on BBC1 in the UK, so my guess is that it’ll be on PPV here in the States.
