Tottenham’s New Unforgettable Product Line

In the wake of Tottenham’s unfortunate, lucky, and regrettable 2-1 victory over Arsenal, they have released a number of products to both memorialize their efforts and squeeze everything they can out of their fan base. I didn’t know Spurs fans had money to spend outside of fish and chips and terrible beer.
Below I have gathered [...]

*Sound of Balloon Deflating*

Well that didn’t go too well. The stars and planets have aligned and Tottenham’s “once every 11 year win-at-home against Arsenal” was apparently due. The game was pretty one sided except for the 2 goals Tottenham managed to produce. Arsenal maintained 66% of ball possession and pulled off 8 more shots on goal, although only [...]

Robin Van Persie Defies Me

How dare he! Yesterday I wrote a short blurb about Van Persie and how much I would be SHOCKED if he actually played at all against Tottenham. I presumed all the rumors were just made up stories to attract attention. Well, I appear to have successfully reverse jinxed us because more and more reports of [...]

For the first time ever, a football club was invited to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the Queen. That club was Arsenal, and it came about after Her Majesty had to cancel plans to open the new Emirates stadium due to a strained back.

Astounding Craftsmanship in Arsenal Gear

While searching for some good Arsenal gear at one of three Los Angeles “soccer shops”, Will and I stumbled upon this wonderful little gem (courtesy Will’s cameraphone).

This is the logo from an infant-sized Highbury commemorative kit. Apparently someone at Nike decided that since the little bastard who will be wearing it probably can’t read, it [...]

Setanta’s Horrible Commentary on a Fantastic Arsenal Win

Going down after just 4 minutes was not the way Arsenal wanted to start a home match against Hamburg. Having gone down a goal in several home games, only to manage a draw after the initial shock, it looked like the team was going to follow the pattern once again.
The goal was similar to [...]

Nightmares of Given, Hamburg Next

Without a doubt Shay Given was the main reason that we only pulled off a draw against Newcastle. Sure, you can blame Eboue all you want for giving too much space to Dyer, but we had a wealth of great shots that should have seen the back of the net. Given was superb, [...]

Wenger’s Hat Gives Pardew the Pizza Prescription

Below is a little picture I whipped up showing how Arsene Wenger would have *really* liked to handle Pardew on Sunday. The Magic Hat pulls out a pizza for tossin’! Alan Pardew, you’ve been Gunnerfied!

There’s not much going on in the news right now. We’ve got Everton away in the Carling Cup [...]

No One Boos Henry

EDIT: This story was posted several days ago but somehow NewsNow only recently picked it up.
According to this article Henry thought he heard boos coming from the fans. I hope not. Our good friend over at The Cannon, who was at the match, explains the story in further detail. Go, read, and [...]

On Stealing John Terry’s Boots

A shoeless John Terry nets home a socky winner

Two Chelsea fans (jerks) somehow managed to make it past Chelsea’s security guards (idiots) into the squad’s changing room (nursery). They then proceeded to ‘borrow’ (steal) John Terry’s (Captain Underpants) boots. Great idea! (Fucking idiots.) To all you Chelsea fans, please make sure to [...]
