Walcott has 10 league goals in 4 seasons and is a supa-dupa star.

What is this in reference to?

I don't think anyone is doubting Ade's ability. Its more the fact that he spent a lot of last summer flirting with Milan.

Its like going out with a really hot girl that you know is sucking off other blokes down the back alley of clubs when she goes out without you, or going out with an average looking girl that loves you dearly and would never dream of cheating on you.

In the world of football, sometimes it's more important that the hot girl is still with you, because you'll never achieve anything with the average one.

Average girls still make babies and cook.

And that's what Arsenal have been achieving the past 3-4 years. No glamour, just the bare minimum that's expected.

That paella she tossed up in North Spain was pretty awesome mind.

Never fear Arsenal fans, Pascal Cygan is waiting by the phone for Arsene Wenger to recall him to the Emirates Stadium.
The 35-year-old calamity-prone centre-half left north London for Villarreal three years ago but is now out of contract.
And the French defender says he will retire if he does not receive an exciting proposal, turning up his nose at offers from the United States, Greece and Qatar.
Gunner get you: Pascal Cygan has his eye on the ball against Fulham's Luis Boa Morte back in his
'For now, I'd prefer to stay in Spain,' he said,' but a return to France is possible, if the proposal is interesting.'
And as for teaming up with Wenger? 'He told me that if it went wrong in Spain, the door would still be open. Now I'm awaiting his phonecall,' said Cygan, laughing.

Arsenal director Stan Kroenke, the largest shareholder at the north London club, has again increased his stake.

Mr Kroenke has bought a further 160 shares at £8,500 per share, taking his holding in Arsenal to 28.58%.

It takes Mr Kroenke closer to the 30% threshold that would force him to make an offer for the remaining shares.

In May, the American tycoon had increased his stake to 28.3%. giving him a bigger holding than Uzbekistani metals magnate Alisher Usmanov.

Mr Kroenke also owns the NBA's Denver Nuggets, the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, and the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.

Share plan rejected

Mr Usmanov, a billionaire, owns more than 25% of the club through investment vehicle Red and White Holdings.

The Arsenal board recently rejected the Uzbek-born Russian billionaire's plan to provide fresh funds for transfers, as well as cutting the club's debt by issuing new shares.

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis turned down the request in favour of the current arrangement which would see the Emirates Stadium club remain self-financing.

Following the rejection, Mr Usmanov cast doubt on the club's ability to provide enough money for the team to challenge for honours.

When you typed £30m did you really mean £5m

Or will be left with a choice of RVP, Edu and Bendtner. Alternatively Theo could move upfront as well.
