As a warning to football hooligans the police are cracking down on thugs ahead of the new football season, and they have scored their first success against two Tottenham “fans”.
Danny Scriven, 26, and Kali Hagenstede, 21, were amongst a gang of more than 20 Spurs hooligans who attacked Arsenal fans as they drank in The George, in Holloway, after the Gunners had destroyed Tottenham 3-0 at the end of October. Both of them admitted violent disorder and were jailed for 15 months each, and banned from attending any football matches for six years. .......Read the full article here

The Joe Cole transfer saga is now reaching a head as the player is back in town after the World Cup, and it seems that he having to make a straight choice between Arsenal and Tottenham, with Liverpool possible outsiders.
But it looks like Harry Redknapp has stolen a march on Arsene Wenger as the Frenchman is only just returning from the World Cup, and the Spurs manager has revealed that his club is locked in talks with Cole and his agents.
“I managed Joe before, and we have always had a good relationship,” Redknapp told ESPN. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have been linked with lots of players at the World Cup, but today they are being reported as favourites to sign a Germany squad player that hasn’t even figured in the first team yet!
Serdar Tasci is an accomplished centre-back, which is obviously the position that is highest in Arsene Wenger’s agenda at the monent. The 23 year-old currently plays for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, and has been a regular for the last two seasons. He has also played in 12 full internationals although he isn’t first choice in this competition. .......Read the full article here

The Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole still hasn’t decided where he will be playing next season, but most of the rumours have suggested Arsenal or Tottenham are the front runners for his signature, especially since his agent said it was unlikely that he would move away from the Premiership, and that Cole would only move to a club in the Champions League.
Today Harry Redknapp had an interview with TalkSport, and said that he was keen on signing Cole, and thought he had as much chance as anyone.
He said: “You know he’s got lots of options, I think quite a few clubs want him,” .......Read the full article here

The Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole finally made his first appearance for England at the World Cup in yesterdays 1-0 victory over Slovenia, but he is still hogging the transfer headlines back at home.
After Man Utd’s announcement yesterday that they are definitely not in the market for Cole, the betting on his next club was suspended in uproar.
But today both Skybet and William Hill have made a new market, and unsurprisingly they have both installed Arsenal as the 8/13 favourites to be Cole’s club on the first day of next season. .......Read the full article here

I just found this very interesting comment from Matthew Horne (Of Gavin and Stacey fame). He is an Tottenham supporter but thinks that the supporters of Arsenal are the worst in the world, because they hate their team!
He thinks that they all will be glad to get rid of Fabregas because he has proved he is disloyal, and have this weird “self-hatred” thing going on!
He said: “I think they probably would see a certain sense of inevitability about him going. They despise all their players… they hate them all. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger has no doubt that Tottenham Hotsour fully deserve their place in the Champions League next season, but says they have no chance of overtaking Arsenal for the third automatic qualifying place.
Wenger said: “Yes of course, Spurs are in the Champions League on merit, you are never there by coincidence.
“They managed to beat us, to beat Chelsea, and also after a massive disappointment of losing the FA Cup semi-final.
“Straight away they had an opportunity to put it right against us and that brought up the level of confidence again, they have finished the season on a high. .......Read the full article here

Tottenham guaranteed themselves a Champions League place last night, joining Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd in Europe’s Premier competition next season, but the man who scored the winner against Man City, Peter Crouch, says they are going to go all out to win again this weekend to try and finish above their great rivals Arsenal.
If they beat Burnley and Arsenal lose to Fulham, Spurs will gain automatic entry to the group stages of the Champions League, and pile more misery on Arsene Wenger’s team, who haven’t won a game for five weeks and have dropped tamely out of the race for the title. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger saw his team lose to Tottenham for the first time in 21 league games, and as good as gave up his belief that Arsenal could still win the title.
The French manager starting the season by saying he didn’t need to buy any experienced players as his young team had grown into a strong mature side, but last night he admitted that he was wrong this time around.
“There is too much to do to win the title,” Wenger said. “It’s very, very unlikely now, but we will continue to fight until it is mathematically impossible. You never know, but even a point would not have been good enough tonight. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal got going too late this time against arch-rivals Tottenham last night, and it looks like the Gunners have blown their last chance of catching Chelsea in the Premiership race.
After this 2-1 defeat (I should have called it the “extended lowlights” really), Arsenal now find themselves six points behind the leaders with just four games to go. Effectively it means that the Blues only have to win just two of those four games to finish above Arsenal, and three to be certain of deposing Man Utd. .......Read the full article here

The news that Robin Van Persie will be back in the Arsenal squad for tonight’s game crucial game at White Hart Lane is a brilliant boost for Arsene Wenger and the fans, but it has been tempered by the news that Alex Song is still on the treatment table with an inflamed cartilage in his knee.
“Song is out. Definitely out,” Wenger said. “He looks like he will be out for the whole week and over the weekend he will not play as well.” .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal defender is expecting to get his usual ear’ole bashing from the Tottenham fans today at White Hart Lane, but insists that it won’t bother him one bit.
Campbell said: “If the manager wants me to play, that is not a problem for me.
“Whenever he needs me, whenever he picks me, I’m there. I ain’t got time for that sentimental stuff. There are five games to go, and you have just got to be ruthless.” .......Read the full article here
