Arsenal bounced back from last weekends Premier League defeat to Fulham with a superb win over Steve McClaren's FC Twente. Nicklas Bendtner started ahead of below-par Emmanuel Adebayor while Kolo Toure was dropped to the bench mainly thanks to Johan Djourou's previous performances in the side.

Reports in Italy today suggest that Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos is close to securing a season-long loan move to Italian giants AC Milan. The loan, which will see Swiss international Senderos reunite with ex-Gunners' team-mate Mathieu Flamini, has an option to make the switch permanent which could come into place if the 23-year-old impresses during his [.

The Togolese striker has been jeered by sections of the Gunners crowd after a summer of flirtations with AC Milan and Barcelona, with many believing that last year's 30-goal hitman was keen to move away.

Morning all. There isn't shite to write about today. Seriously there is nothing. I thought about doing my Fulham match preview today but I'll save that for tomorrow morning.

There is a hurricane going on outside my house right now (not even joking there really is) and it sucks because I haven't been able to leave my house at all. Click to continue reading...

Sometimes when I write the blog, I scour the internet for news on arsenal.com, NewsNow, a bunch of other Arsenal blogs, etc. trying to find the latest Arsenal stuff to present to you all. Sometimes something just comes to me that I think I should write. This is one of those times.

Ah, the Premier League season is upon us - I can't type that without smiling.

Arsenal just about collected 3 points to start the campaign against West Bromwich Albion (I don't think Albion supporters like it when people call their team West Brom - another tidbit I learned listening to 606: "It's not West Brom. Click to continue reading...

Emannuel Adebayor has inked a new "long-term" contract with Arsenal. The deal is set to be worth £80,000 a week for the Togolese striker and is set to run until at least 2012. The new contract comes after months of speculation over the player's future. Only weeks ago it seemed that Ade was destined for [. Click to continue reading...

After a summer of postulating, mostly on the part of his agent, after a summer of rumours, links and frustration, Adebayor has put pen to paper and signed a new improved contract.  At no point did Adebayor ask to leave, instead he re-iterated his desire to stay at Arsenal, only to be told by his [..

Dopo Lampard, si chiude con un rinnovo un'altra delle telenovelas estive. Emanuel Adebayor, dato per vicino al Milan prima e al Barcellona dopo, ha trovato l'accordo con l'Arsenal per il prolungamento contrattuale. Tuttavia, i Gunners, non hanno comunicato i termini, sia economici e sia della durata, dell'accordo. Click to continue reading...

So the season starts with a win, three points and a reasonable performance given the understrength nature of the side, particularly in midfield.

There's nothing like an early goal to settle the nerves and that's exactly what we got. It was a lovely goal too. Bendtner played it wide to Clichy, who fed it to Denilson whose run into the box was excellent, he cut it back for new boy Samir Nasri to sidefoot home and to make it 1-0.

Arsenal came back in the second half with Gallas and Adebayor's goal. They were missing Cesc and it showed in most part of the game. Denilson and Aaron Ramsey started and their game picked up in the second half. But it was the veterans who pulled out the win. RVP's swerving free kick which Gallas was able to put his body on and steer the ball into goal and a Theo Walcott (yes, he can be considered a veteran in this Arsenal team) pass to Adebayour to slot the ball home.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Despite playing a midfield of toddlers and Eboue (who has the maturity of one), and by all accounts playing, um, not at our standard, let's say, we're still leaving Enschede with two away goals and a win.

Unfortunately, I can't say for myself how they played, since Champions League games are not scheduled for Seattle's viewing times.

Arsenal went into tonight's vital Champions League qualifier against Steve McClaren's new side, FC Twente, with a multitude of players injured.

The Guardian's soft-spoken Scot, and chief football correspondent, Kevin McCarra, after siting that Arsenal's most expensive signing was Sylvain Wiltord for around £11m, eight years ago, described Arsene Wenger as having a magnificent arrogance for trying to compete for top honors on a shoe-string budget.

We spoke during the week about how an injury to either Cesc or Denilson would leave us very stretched in central midfield and sadly that's the situation we're faced with as the former has a hamstring strain that will rule him out for the next two weeks or so.

Not only that, going into tonight's game against FC Twente we're missing also missing Kolo Toure and Philippe Senderos as well as the other names we weren't expecting to play anyway.

Morning all. I'm taking a break from watching the Olympics because they are showing rowing right now. Is that even a sport? Rowing. Some of these sports are just awful...beach volleyball, handball, synchronized diving/swimming, fencing...I love the Olympics but some things just should not have medals given for them.

Morning.

A 3-2 win over Ajax last night. That's good, eh? Oh wait. It's not good. Or something. I must confess I've only seen highlights but from what I've read it seems Adebayor missed 76 chances in the first half, we still can't defend, our midfield is light and we're all going to die.
