For the mammon that is Sky insists that Arsenal kick off at 12:45 on Saturday. I wonder how many people will be glued to the box with so much to be done before Xmas? Is Arsene guilty? No miracle in Portugal Tue, 09 Dec 2008 09:21:14+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106236/Van-Persie-I-want-to-get-to-the-FA-Cup-final.html Striker Robin van Persie says that he wants to get to the FA Cup final this season and play at the new Wembley Stadium.

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:00:00+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106232/Walcott-frustrated-over-contract-negotiations.html Striker Theo Walcott is apparently frustrated with ongoing contract negotiations, according to the News of the World. Vela: I will keep pushing for my first team place Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:00:00+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106231/Hello-(its-good-to-be-back).html So this is 2009 and after a rather limp finale to a year that promised so, so much when it began, the Gooners were back in the groove today with a 3-1 win at home to Plymouth. Walcott frustrated over contract negotiations Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:30:00+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st136782.htm I can't understand why people can get so excited by Bendtner's pink boots; it's the colour of his nose that concerns me more. The guy behind me on Tuesday was reduced to hysteria over it, and proceeded to slag off Bendtner as if his life depended on it. A Great Captain Wins it For Arsenal Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:17:43+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137867.htm Many Arsenal fans would have accepted a draw before the game started, and those who didn't, surely would have after the first 30 minutes. Villa peppered the Arsenal woodwork again and again, but unlike Strictly Come Dancing there are no points for fancy footwork. A great game for the neutral, but we are not neutrals. It is time to be scrooge Arsene - Pompey Preview Sat, 27 Dec 2008 10:03:54+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106230/Arsenal-draw-Cardiff-City.html Arsenal have been drawn away to Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Hello (it's good to be back) Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:30:00+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106229/Silvestre-out-for-three-weeks-Wenger-to-look-at-recruits.html Manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that defender Mikael Silvestre would be out for three weeks, after suffering a thigh injury during the match against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup.

Wenger praises professionalism Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:00:00+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137375.htm Wenger believes that the draw against Boro was a step up, that earlier this season the team may well have lost. If he believes that he is certainly lowering his sights. I find that very reassuring, he has a plan that includes a roadmap of obscure towns in Eastern Europe. I've always wondered what people watch on TV on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, now's my chance to find out. Can Arsenal get back into the top four? Must win Sun, 14 Dec 2008 12:35:02+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106225/Wenger-explains-Toures-transfer-request.html Manager Arsene Wenger has assured Arsenal fans over news reports the defender Kolo Toure had handed in a transfer request to the club. Wenger: I am not choosing between Toure and Gallas Sat, 03 Jan 2009 13:00:00+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106224/Team-news-for-match-against-Plymouth.html Defender Kolo Toure is out of contention for the Gunners' FA Cup tie against Plymouth Argyle today.

Hill-Wood: We have to secure our financial future Sat, 03 Jan 2009 09:30:00+0100 http://arsenal-mania.com/articles/3106221/Hill-Wood-We-have-to-secure-our-financial-future.html Chairman Peter Hill-Wood has cautioned Arsenal fans against expecting manager Arsene Wenger splashing the cash in the January transfer window. Team news for match against Plymouth Sat, 03 Jan 2009 10:00:00+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137328.htm Arsene Wenger has no regrets that he sacrificed top place in the CL group to have a fit team for the Boro game. I can't say I blame him, I just wish his team had shown a little more spirit at Porto, and not just rolled over. However the important thing now is that the sacrifice proves to be worthwhile. Wenger lowers his sights for title Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:44:43+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st138134.htm Arsenal have won the cup more times than any other team except Manchester United. Arsenal are 30 places higher than the Pilgrims in the Championship. It would be nice to equal Man U's record, and to be realistic the cup is the main chance that Arsenal will have of silverware this season. Bendtner Nicks Macdonald's Mantle - More Cup Magic Fri, 02 Jan 2009 16:48:19+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st138225.htm In October 2008 Arsenal submitted a revised set of plans for the Queensland Road development. This is the "brownfield" site that lies to the south of the Emirates Stadium on the other side of the pedestrian ramp. The revised plans include a sports centre, that Arsenal Times helped to campaign for. Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:31:00+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st136966.htm I refuse to treat the adventures of the kids as a meaningful omen on how the present first team will perform. After all when they won 6-0 the first team proceeded to lose 2-1 at home to Hull City. That is not the pattern I am referring to, rather I have in mind beating Bolton away then losing at home. Ebooing - Arsenal fans- let's get some perspective Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:01:14+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137885.htm No I am not talking about transfers, where it is time to flash the cash, but about the generosity that this Arsenal team shows to teams and individuals down on their luck. Stuck in the relegation zone? Not scored for ten matches? Losing confidence? Don't worry Arsenal will fix it. Football World Divided After Late Winner Sat, 27 Dec 2008 14:19:22+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137229.htm Arsene Wenger stated on Arsenal.com that he would feel "guilty" if Arsenal did not win Champions League Group G and ended up with a tough draw in the Knockout Round. He went on to state: "It is difficult to say [if it will be important] but would we not feel guilty if we had a massive draw in the last 16? - We would have not done something when we know it can punish us." No Regrets - Will Miracle Continue? Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:54:21+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st136649.htm Wenger is an honest man who can upset people who misunderstand him. So when he says that Arsenal controlled the game against Man City, some fans get riled and yell at the TV screen. But Wenger isn't wrong Arsenal had an amazing 66% possession. I am sure they had even more against Kyiv, and in a sense it is control. The truth about those pink boots - Chelsea Preview Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:08:50+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st136516.htm In one of Romero's Zombie movies the living dead devour the police sent to apprehend them, then one of them grabs the police CB radio and barks, "send more cops". I don't quite know why but it reminds me of some of Wenger's methods. Gallas complains the kids are out of control so Arsene puts a kid in charge. Gallas must understand my analogy, or at least feel it. Greatness is as Greatness Does Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:52:32+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137951.htm The Football World is divided as to whether Arsenal can win the league after William Gallas scored a late winner against Pompey. On one side all the Premiership managers, all the media, and most sane Arsenal fans say that Arsenal can't. On the other side Arsene Wenger says they can. A very happy New Year from Arsenaltimes.com Sun, 28 Dec 2008 19:30:29+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137725.htm As I predicted in my preview this was hardly a classic game, Liverpool were far too timid for that to happen. With Arsenal down to ten men for a third of the game they didn't manage more than five shots on target, or only four according to the BBC. Bury the Title at Wounded Knee-Six Pointer Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:10:12+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137087.htm In the last few days we have seen Liverpool fans boo off their team for daring to draw as they went top of the league, Roy Keane walk out of Sunderland, Paul Ince claim that the press are out to get him, and now some Arsenal fans (it wasn't all) turn on one of their own. Will Wenger take Porto Seriously? Age of Miracles Sun, 07 Dec 2008 12:04:01+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137644.htm Aston Villa are now four points ahead of fifth placed Arsenal and in third place. They are ahead of Manchester United by two points. They had a large dollop of luck in beating West Ham, but they took their chance, and Brad Friedel was immense between the sticks (forgive the pun). He was man of the match. Eleventh man frustrates twelve men Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:17:52+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st137819.htm I am not sure if it was a beautiful dream of title victory that died when Cesc limped off on Sunday, more like the withering of any last lingering hopes. Wenger’s strategy of winning the league by playing mediocre football except when playing a top four club was undermined by the loss of his captain. The loss of the only truly world class player in the squad. Some Positives as Curse of Extra Time Strikes Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:32:05+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st138210.htm When I say Bendtner has stolen Supermac's mantle I don't mean Malcolm's 57 goals in 108 games for Arsenal, although that would be quite handy. Nor am I referring to Mac's dodgy knee, no it is Supermac's ability to celebrate and claim goals he hadn't actually scored. LAST PIECE IN THE ARSENAL REDEVELOPMENT JIGSAW Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:34:51+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st138069.htm Everyone at Arsenaltimes.com would like to wish all our users a very happy New Year. If you don't have a ticket for the first game of 2009 - the FA Cup tie with Plymouth Argyle - then you can probably get a Club level ticket at half price - as most of club level can't be arsed to turn up for a Championship team, plus it is only Plymouth. Magic of the Cup - Wenger must play strong team Thu, 01 Jan 2009 10:41:51+0100 http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s378/st136825.htm The press seems obsessed about captains, apparently all victories are down to captains. Chelsea and England, according to the press have a great one. I won't mention his name here, but he didn't have a great game did he? He was lucky not to be the second Chelsea player sent off in a week. His team's spineless second half performance must have been most distressing for him.
