Pre-Season Tour: Gunners to set Bukit Jalil on Fire

Behold fellow Gooners, the Gunners have finally touched down in Kuala Lumpur, kicking off their pre-season Asia tour. We were very lucky to be invited by the ProEvents, the promoter of the tour, to attend the Arrival Press Conference.

European Leagues Wrap-up: Manchester OUT!

Guess no one expected both Manchester teams to leave Europa so soon? Or you have expected that because you think both teams want to concentrate on Premier League? How about Chelsea? Did you expect them to be the only English team standing and made such a comeback after sacking AVB? Well, this is the fun in football world, sometimes it is impossible to make predictions!

Weekend Sum-up: Chelsea Sacked AVB and more..

Goodbye for real this time.

Many things happen in football during weekends, so we decided to have this new ‘Weekend Sum-up’, to summarize things for our readers. Okay, here we go:

In EPL …

Feature: Premier League, The Best in Europe?

Should I say, ‘Farewell, AVB.’?

Everyone knows Napoli or AC Milan are not an easy team to play against. So when both Arsenal and Chelsea arrived in Italy, I am pretty sure most of their fans were hoping for a  draw. ‘Just, don’t lose this game.’ was probably what they were thinking. But guess what? Both teams lost their games in the most unacceptable way.

Matches to Catch: The European Leagues are Back

After some rest, the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League will be back to business this week. With some big teams playing in Europa this season, we are pretty sure both Leagues will be exciting to watch. Let’s see which matches are up this week, that you shouldn’t miss:

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

Just a quick update on Christmas, as I am waiting for the party to begin. Merry Christmas to all our readers and hope you guys will receive as many gifts as Archie!

I know we haven’t been updating lately, as the internet at home is still down. I am trying my best to find internet connections elsewhere to keep you guys posted. Hopefully everything will be back to normal next week. Party hard!

Champions League/Europa: What to Watch?

Somehow when you look at the result of both draws, the Europa matches seem to be more exciting. One of the main reasons, of course is because many top teams are going to compete in the lower league this season. So, which teams will us watch?

Champions League: The Last Battle

Here comes the last game in group stage of UEFA Champions League and let’s see which teams are already cleared and through to the next stage:

Bayern Munich, Internazionale, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Apoel, Barcelona and AC Milan.
The rest? They will have to fight hard for their places, and no, winning is not quite enough.

Our Prediction for FIFA Ballon d'Or

'So Pep, if Messi and Xavi both got into the final 3 this year, who do you think will win?’

Yes yes, the 2011 FIFA Ballon d’Or is just around the corner and the 23-man shortlist was just released. No doubt that Messi, Ronaldo are both in the running and we are not surprised that Barcelona players have dominated the list, there are all together 8 of them on the list:

Remember Jack Wilshere had an #AskJack session on Twitter last Thursday? Not sure if you have sent in your questions, but we did! And most importantly, Jack answered two of them!

A Weekend Full of Surprises

Remember last season there was this weekend when every team at the top of the table lost points? Things only get better in the weekend that just passed, not only teams lost points, but, in a dramatic way!

Picture of The Day: Unite Against Racism

To us, THIS is more important than Arsenal scores at the very last minute yesterday; more important than Torres scored two goals last night and ended his Champions League goal drought; more important than Barcelona’s disappointing 2-0 result or any other scorelines in the Champions League.

We still remember the black and white wristband that were released a few years ago, and recent incident between Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra apparently raised the racism issue again. We are not going to comment about the incident, whether we think who is right or who is wrong. Although racism does decline in football, it still exist, and we strongly hope that our players can be respected in every way, no matter what is their skin colour. As long as they provide us good football, we are happy! So let’s do what Captain Persie says, ‘Unite Against Racism’.

Missing Out BIG Times…

Okay, let’s see what we had missed last week. We missed the exciting last game day of Euro 2012 Qualifiers. Failed to witness our Spain team secured all 24 points in the group stage and goes into finals with their head held high without losing a single game in the qualifying!

We missed the play-off draws of Euro 2012, not because we are too busy but indeed last week was one of the least productive week for us in months, as I was sick and spent most of my time on my bed, or next to the toilet bowl, so we were unable to provide you with the latest news in the football world. We are deeply sorry about that! But since my body was complaining about not getting enough attention from me, I decided to get more rest and did as little as I can last week.

Mata Went Home to Face Valencia

During lazy typhoon day, as we are stuck at home, we decided to do a little blog update. After some local footballs, we shall catch up on some Euro football news.

Last two days were the Champions League match days and the giants didn’t tell the same story. Manchester City lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich, but Tevez had apparently grabbed more spotlight then the match result. Manchester United only managed to get one point from the game against FC Basel, despite leading two nil in the first half, the game ended in a 3-3 scoreline. Chelsea too, only managed to get one point, facing their new signing, Mata's former club, Valencia, final score 1-1. On the other hand, Arsenal looks like they are back on their feet, another victory after the weekend game against Bolton, the game ended with 2-1 scoreline, against Greek giant Olympiakos. Barcelona and Real Madrid, too, had another victory, Real Madrid won 3-0 against Ajax and Barcelona trashed BATE Borisov 5-0, top scorer battle between Ronaldo and Messi still continue, both scored in the game.

Sadly, we did not manage to finish watching any of these games, but the results look interesting. What do you think about these games?

Top 10 Transfers, 2011 Summer

The transfer window is finally shut, and we had a lot of fun following the live blog on ESPN, some last minute transfers made us called out, “What?!”. Got to say this to Wenger though, ‘Well done, Arsene.’ The world is looking at him after the 8-2 defeat in Old Trafford and Gunners, are you guys satisfied? 4 players in 24 hours, that was really impressive. Okay, so here we will give you our Top 10 transfers of this summer, feel free to jump in if you don’t agreed with us ;) In the end, we will sum up the last minute transfer for you guys, you can also check out our Twitter for the transfer coverage. We have also updated the Player’s Twitter list, both EPL, and La Liga, in case you want to know more about your new players. Shall we?

Some Transfer Rumors Before Transfer Window Closed

I think football fans won’t care much about other news than the transfer market, for today. So here we are going to sum up some transfers that happened lately and possible transfers that may happen the last minute. You ready for it?



I think who Arsenal will sign is the main concern for everyone, Gunners and non-Gunners. So far they have signed Chu Young Park, the South Korea national team Captain.

Andre Santos, Fenerbahce left back has had his medical, so we can almost confirm he will join Arsenal.

Arteta may be on the move too, according to several English papers.

And, Yossi Benayoun is a possibility too, according to ESPN.

Feature: Will Arsenal Survive?

The beginning of this season seems to be tough for Arsenal, after facing Liverpool at home last week, they just played Manchester United in Old Trafford yesterday. With Nasri just gone to Manchester City, many doubts raised, from the fans especially, questioning Wenger’s capabilities as a manager. Yes, it is true that Arsenal did not win any trophy in six years; it is also true that departure of Fabragas and Nasri may reduce the strength of the team, but do these mean Arsenal will not be able to survive, and they have already lost the battle in winning anything this season? I don’t really think so.
