I hope they also have some yearly subscription, instead of having to purchase individual issues. 10/9 will buy.

Arteta 1 year contract extension agreed apparently

Didier Drogba: "I asked my son, that who's your favourite footballer? I was waiting for him to lie and say - you of course. He said, Thierry Henry"

Think I just had a de ja vu

De ja who? Lovren?

I just read Goal.com Facebook news about Arteta' contract extension.

It's ridiculous how much hate Mikel gets from nobodies who label him a weak link in our midfield and a bad captain

Reminds me why I don't read comments on football sites

Lucky you, I am sure Chile looking for revenge and Alexis would be up for it.

I thought Alexis is ten days away

Looking forward to the Brazil v Chile game.

Alexis said something about it being special as it is at the Emirates. Hope he gets to play, it seems important to him

Thierry Henry has admitted that he cried when he left Arsenal - with uncertainty over Arsene Wenger's future behind his decision to move.

Henry, third in the Premier League's all-time scoring record, left the Gunners for Barcelona in 2007 in a £16million transfer amid uncertainty of Arsene Wenger's future as manager.

Arsenal legend Henry says that he never wanted to leave the club and found it tough moving to Spain.

And due to the strength in depth of the Catalan side's attack, he started as the fourth-choice striker under Pep Guardiola at the Nou Camp.

He told beIN Sports: "I never considered leaving Arsenal. But I was 29-years-old and in-form, I thought all the guys left and I did not know if Arsene [Wenger] would be staying.


"It was not easy and when I left I cried. I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm a competitor and I had to leave.

"When I arrived at Barcelona, Guardiola told me that I was the fourth-choice striker and I would not be starter.

"I accepted the challenge and I fought, and competition makes you increase your level. People talk about luck, but you need to create you own. When you work, you got the reward at the end."

Henry was back at the Emirates watching the Gunners' 5-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday evening. He sat alongside former team-mate Robert Pires in the stands.


He made his Sky Sports punditry debut during Arsenal's 2-0 win over Manchester City in January.

The 37-year-old joined Sky Sports after announcing his retirement from football at the beginning of 2015. It is rumoured that he has signed a contract worth £4million-a-year, making him the world's highest-paid pundit.

But he might turn to management in the future, after starting his UEFA B coaching badge in Wales.

David Ornstein tweeted about it a while ago.

'Derby atmosphere spurs me on'

Francis Coquelin says he can’t wait to experience the special atmosphere of a north London derby again.

The midfielder has made one senior appearance at White Hart Lane and was also part of the Arsenal side that won 3-1 in the FA Youth Cup in 2009.
Arsenal have won five matches in a row and Coquelin is determined to keep that record intact at the weekend.

“It’s a massive game for the club and the fans,” he told Arsenal Player. “I think everyone is looking forward to it. The Manchester City match was a big one, and this one has got a special something about it.

“It’s going to be a tough game - we’re playing away over there, so it’s going to be hard. I think with the month we’ve just had, the confidence is going to be high.

“Even at youth level, we got a lot of stick from their fans and the atmosphere was really good. It just makes you want to do even better for your team and win the game.

“When you play for Arsenal against Tottenham, it’s not about just playing your game, it’s about winning. You have to win it.

“For the fans and the team it’s a big game and it’s one we want to win.”

FFS THE LADS AT THE .COM EVEN PUN

I think we should have a thread to discuss what happens after Wenger. I am only afraid that it will get morphed into a Wenger-out thread just too easily. Nothing against that, but it wouldn't be the theme I want to address.

1. When is a good time for change?
2. Who do you think will fit in? (Not wishful or flavour of the month names).
3. What happens to AW?
4. Based on who, how do we adapt the playing style?
5. ...

If we have sufficient questions and a clean debate, I can gladly start the thread.

LISTEN: It's ‪#‎Arsenal‬'s biggest 'bromance'... click below to hear Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain discuss his friendship with Carl Jenkinson in another Soundcloud exclusive!

I don't think Wenger is leaving for the next two years, he never skips out on a contract so wouldn't that be a bit too soon for that thread?
