And now for the Premiership...
After securing the rights of passage to the knock out
stages of the Champions League, Arsenal boss Arsène
Wenger says he's going to concentrate
on the league. The 3-0 win against Czech team Sparta Prague
courtesy of goals from Arsenal captain and all round Mr
Nice Guy Thierry Henry and a brace from Dutchman Robin
van 'Lord' Persie saw The Arsenal through to the last 16.
It's the best ever start to the European adventure The
Arsenal have had to date, however given the group that
The Gunners are in, anything less would be criticised from
here to Shanghai. The 3-0 score line could appear a little
bit harsh, as Sparta Prague could have and probably
should have scored from a number of the chances they conjured
up. Surprisingly stand-in keeper Manuel Almunia who was
in for injured German mentalist Jens Lehmann didn't gift
the opposition a hint of a mistake, which is nice.
After the victory Saint Wenger declared "We
are going to focus on the championship now and hopefully
we will see that on Saturday against Sunderland. First
of all, we want consistency in the Premier League and to
come back."
Saint Wenger has pop at the media
With the current spat between Saint Wenger and The Bank
of Chelsea coach José Money looking to overshadow any 'differences'
The Arsenal boss ever had with Manchester USA Red Sox
purple faced, whiskey smelling mad despot Alex 'Ol' 65%
Proof Nose' Ferguson, the Frenchman has said the media
is to blame for stirring things up. In what will shock
the country that the media, especially the 'red tabs' are
somehow underhand and milking stories or quotes for all
their worth and even putting their own slant on things
to make them 'exclusives' - Saint Wenger has rolled up
the sleeves on his Pierre Cardin suit and come out fighting.
In this exclusively gleaned report The Arsenal boss stormed "You
must listen to what I say and not write what I do not say.
Have I said he is stupid? By implication? You have to respect
what I say and not what you think I have said. I
know exactly what I say - not what you think I have said.
I have seen some quotes and they are not right." The
wily Frenchman continued but we think you get the picture.
Solman still upset at abuse
Sol Campbell, Arsenal and England's number defender when
he's not waving his sicknote about, has spoken out again
about getting flak from the gypo's down Shite Hart Lane.
The Sulzeer one commented "You can't get used to it.
People think you do, but you don't, of course not. You
just want to play football. You can deal with people shouting
or whatever when it's at the whole team, but when the spotlight
is on one person, all you can do is be better prepared
for it."
"It was the usual stuff, people just shouting, talking
rubbish, swearing, you know. I just
looked at him and laughed really.
"Now hopefully they will take it, deal with it and
they've promised me they will ban him for life."
However another form of punishment we believe the authorizes
down The Lame should consider is making the young gypo
go to every Spurs game, home and away and watch every minute
of their games. Failing that why not give the mouthy tw*t
a pair of boxing gloves so him and The Rock can 'duke it
out' and let's see if the Spud supporter is so quick with
his mouth and the insults, no? OK then ban the fool.
Goonerbabe wall
We seem to be lacking in new
pictures for the Goonerbabe wall, so get sending in those
pictures. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work it
out but we could do with some new new Gooners to feature
- come on now no need to be shy. The Email address is in
'contact us' or simply click the banner below - you know
it makes sense.

Dominatrix still doesn't fancy Bobby: Bobby
Pires' World Cup hopes (like he had any at all) have again
been hit by French coach Roger Dominatirx. Bobby who hasn't
had a look in since falling out with the coach for wearing
a Puma t-shirt has been left out the squad to face Costa
Rica and Germany. In a remarkable twist though, 'Le Grande
Sulk' Nicolas Anelka has somehow wormed his way back into
the squad... We'll
have Seaman: Ex
Arsenal leg-end Paul Merson who is now bossing League 1
side Wallsall has failed in an attempt to lure another
Arsenal leg-end David 'Safe Hands' Seaman. You may remember
Spunky from such great saves as the one-handed one in the
F.A. Cup semi final against Sheffield United player Paul
Pesky something or another. Any road up, Merson wanted
Seaman in goal, however due to the laughing pony tail
sporting Yorkshireman and former 'They think it's all over'
captain signing an agreement with his insurers that he
wont play again, the deal was dead in the water.. Get
your trophies out: Have another laugh courtesy

Dennis Bergkamp and Arsenal coach Saint Wenger have joined
forces and spoken of the delights and impact of Robin van
'Lord' Persie as had since his 'troubled' summer, which
is nice.... that's it for now... au reviour mon amis...
Keep it locked.
