    I have just come back from a training session where we were told by Song that he has been given a 4 year contract!! Which is good as I think he has been impressive out here.
    Dennis also told me that they are having talks as to whether to have his testimonial as the last game at Highbury or the first game at Ashburton Grove.........!! I would prefer the last game at Highbury myself.......

    Also the Arsenal American banner has been signed by every player with a photo including Arsene who we asked to sign both the American side and the Canadian side just to make it fair!!! Dennis signed the middle of the Maple Leaf!!! Photo´s will be posted when possible.

    BRILLIANT!!!!! Can't wait to have it "airing-out" on my wall again. :)

    We seriously need to look into having it insured.

    Great news about Song. I think we may have enough in the center of midfield, although we don't have much experience there.

    Re: Breaking News From Austria

    Good idea.

    Any chance you guys could take a pretty high quality picture of it with nothing else? I'd like to make a 1024 x 768 wallpaper with new autographs.

    Nice work Rick

    But do you honestly think that this signing of yet another kid going to help our short term cause of winning EPL title next season???

    Good for the future...

    Now we must secure the services of a midfileder that befits the shoes that our former Skipper whom granted had fallen bellow his magnificent best for the last 2 season but still in the world class bracket.

    Someone at the Arsenal is spinning the weightiest dollop of winnie the poo since sice my sisters triplets were 18 months old with the runs.

    example 1of 100; There are ample funds available for Arsene to strengthen the squad

    Transfer In 9.4m Hleb excellent player think he may do very well (How stong in the German league?)

    Transfer Out: J, Pennett (arguably Birmingham's best Player if not second best next to another xGunner M. Upson) 0.5m Paddy Viera 13.75m

    That makes us quids in 5m in front. Begs the question Where exactly is this this so called "transfer fund"

    2of100; , Pires 50/50, Viera a Goner, Reyes yipee signed an extension. 1.5 out of 3 should be thankful ah!?

    Trusted Shield of Truth and Justice...

    Re: Breaking News From Austria

    thegrove06,

    You didn't really buy the "Wenger with 60m to spend this summer" stuff, right?

    AW has given some mixed signals on transfer. For example, he talked of bringing in 2 World class players but in the Spring he said he only planned on spinning "small money" this summer which he defined as 5m. Obviously that was a bit low considering the Hleb transfer and the Beast bid but I doubt that he'll be spending much more if the Beast comes in.

    Rick-good work on all of the ArseAm folks to get the banner there and for Rick for spearheading the photo spreads! Can I order my Cesc, Freddy and Henry pics now or do I have to wait! :D

    Jealousy doesn't quiet express my feelings right now Rick! Gina and I are thinking about going next year though.

    That's great news about Song, he looked awesome against Weiz. Keep up the good work.
