As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Lady Bracewell-Smith is looking into the option of selling her shares of Arsenal stock.

Phew. That was a lot of links. It’s like Google news or something. I hope you didn’t click any of them.

Anyways, this rumored sell-off of 15.9% of the sum of Arsenal shares could create some boardroom turmoil resulting in a potential take-over. Like most things, there’s little use in worrying over it. And attempting to project some sort of possible outcome is likely to be fruitless too, given the number of individuals involved. In either case, it might result in Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov having another throw-down. I expect it to be just like Mad Max… Two billionaire enter, one Arsenal owner leave!

Can anyone spare a kit?

The only question I have is… how much of an Arsenal fan is Lady Bracewell-Smith? I can’t find a picture of her at a game or in a kit. What gives?! And selling off all her shares? Well… I can’t really speculate to that. Maybe she just needs the cash.

In other news, Robin Van Persie may see some action against Tottenham on Wednesday. I’ll be shocked, SHOCKED, if he plays at all. We all know how long Mr. Wenger likes to rest his players before they are truly ‘match fit’ so why would it be any different for someone that has been out so long? Especially after gambling with Fabregas and losing horribly? I think we can still handle Tottenham without RvP, so I’d just as well like to see him behind the bench.

The Bleacher Report has a great write up of the derby and why it is a must watch game. Given the desperate need of points on both sides it has the potential to be a classic.
