Good morning Gooners! A wet and cold London morning to you. Before I begin, I want to apologize about the lack of “visual stimulation on the past few posts.” I am using the Mrs. computer (which is not a PC), and I have had one heck of a time loading pictures of the Road Trip, updates, and so on. With that being said, please sit tight, and know that I will have lots and lots of pictures for you all early next week.
So, on to Portsmouth. Arsenal took on Pompey last night in what proved to be a great end to 2009. You can read a great write up about the match on ...

Good morning Gooners! I had grand aspirations of blogging every day while we were here in London for the Arsenal America Road Trip. What has been stopping me you ask? Beer, and lots of it. I will admit, I don’t drink this much . . . ever. I am married, and if you read the fine print when you get married, there is some clause in there about not coming home drunk, not going to England, and getting pissed . . . yada, yada, yada. My good friend told me to begin practicing for this trip (drinking that is), much like an olympian practices for the olympics. He was right, and I was...

Greetings Gooners! It is cold and damp here in London (shocker). Apparently every sick person was flying out of Dulles International Airport on Christmas Eve. Upon our arrival into London I noticed that I could not swallow, and that I was sweaty, sticky, and generally very uncomfortable. Christmas morning came, and Santa had visited. I must admit, that 2009 was a rough year, but I could...

Were any of you at the game in Rome a couple of weeks ago. If so, were you in the Arsenal section? We had the most ridiculous wait in the stadium and then standing by the closed doors of the buses. Then that slow, slow procession back to Termini. In retrospect the whole thing was so absurd, disorganized and cumbersome that its now quite funny. I’m sure you will concur with me that it was not funny at the time. I hope its better organized in May!!

I find the prospect of a roadtrip to Rome (March 11th) and Emirates (March 14th) too good to pass up. Anyone else planning on going to either game? Not sure where possible roadtrips are discussed here so I’ll just post and see what happens.

As many of you know, we have available a bunch of tickets for almost every game at the Emirates and sometimes even some away matches. This comes from a collection of season tickets and occasional spares that are thrown our way by other supporters clubs or arranged by Arsenal for visiting Americans.
However, the management of this system is incredibly labor intensive. Our ticket masters in London do an absolutely tremendous amount of work just to get tickets for those Americans who are coming over. It requires a lot of time, and more important, a large pool of cash so we can buy tickets...

For those in London this week, you can meet up with the ArsenalAmerica roadtrip crew before and after each game at a pub called ‘The Tavern’ on Blackstock Road near Gillepsie. We’ll be ‘in the back’ by the giant ArsenalAmeria banner, and most of our crew will be sitting in …. ummm… I wanted to say North Bank but I’m not sure what they call it now. Oops.
Anyway, the crew will be taking a tour of AG on Monday at 11:00, and some will be going to the Fulham reserve game on Wednesday.

Invoices for the ArsenalAmerica roadtrip (Newcastle and Hamburg) have been sent out. If you didn’t get one, check your email. If it isn’t there and you want to go (or you haven’t told me yet that you want to go), let me know and I’ll see if we still have room (right now, we may have a few spaces left).

We're all going to London!
I've lost track–is this the fourth or fifth Roadtrip to Highbury…ummm….ok…let's start over.
The First Roadtrip to Ashburton Grove is now accepting ticket requests!??
Just got off the phone with Rick and Arsenal and we will have about two dozen spots open for the following games:
Saturday, November 18–Newcastle
Tuesday, November 21–Hamburg

Arsenal v Villareal photos from ArsenalAmerica president Michael Kavanagh. Mike is over this week to catch the Spurs game and managed to get a good view of last night’s victory, along with the infamous squirrel attack on the North Bank.
