Arsenal Latest News Round Up

Well seems like this blog is going more towards Arsenal and football than other stuff.Oh well anything that keeps the blog moving is fine with me.Todays round up is basically afew stories i found around the internet about Arsenal and their latest situation.

Walcott grateful that he didn't join Chelsea
Theo Walcott has come out and stated that he is happy at Arsenal and really grateful to his previous club Southhampton for letting him join Arsenal instead of accepting an offer from Chelsea as a ball boy back when he was a kid at Liverpool youth.Imagine Theo still running around Stamford Bridge catching balls:)

Wenger - Nasri signing likely

Arsene Wenger wants to sign Samir Nasri before Euro 08 which will start on the 7th of June.Samir Nasri is probably coming in to replace Alexander Hleb who's money grubbing agent wants him to move to a so called richer and bigger club.Samir Nasri is currently playing for Marseille as an attacking midfielder and has been called a youthful Zinedine Zidane.Interesting stuff,would definatly love to see him in an Arsenal kit soon.

Milan plot major striker move
These Italian bastards are at it again.They already took Flamini now they are chasing after Emmanuel Adebayor!They want to strengthen their pitiful excuse for a football club and are unsettling strikers from various clubs to see which agent crumbles first so they can strike a quick deal.Adebayor has stated that he loves things at Arsenal but you never can tell sometimes.Barcelona who have had a rubbish season are also targeting Adebayor.

Carlos Vela gets his Arsenal Career started
The 19 year old Mexican wonderkid who has been on loan at Celta Vigo, Salamanca and Osasuna has finally picked up his permit to start playing for Arsenal.The kid will be playing as a striker or a winger next season and Arsene Wenger stated that he's a player in the Eduardo mould.Looking forward to see him in action next season.

Well thats it for this post so see ya'll soon and keep it tuned:)

Unemployment here i come

Quit my stupid job last week and now i am unemployed.Today is the first day of my new life and i need to re-evaluate and re-assess this situation i am in.What am i supposed to do with life?My first plan is to get my fitness back into shape which im gonna start doing today itself.I really need to eat better and do more exercise now that ill be stuck at home most of the week.

Next i need to plan and find a way to generate good income every month starting from June without accepting a job thats gonna kill me and bore me to death like how my previous month was.Im also planning on working on my drawings and art.The last time i made a piece was on the 12/3/07 and i didnt even like it so much.

Looking forward to regular football again with Euro 08 coming next month.Thats something to keep my mind off work and what not.Came across this article today.Pretty funny some,no idea if the writer was being sarcastic or serious but it did make me laugh:)

Speed Racer,A touch of nostalgia

Watched Speed Racer on the weekend and was it a class film.Keeping to its original 1960's Japanese anime style,the Wachowski brothers who brought us the Matrix trilogy created a fun and colourful world for Speed Racer.Almost the entire movie was filmed in front of a green screen giving us a wide range of CG effects and futuristic landscape's.Every single car in the movie is computer generated and the famous Mach 5 lives up to its animated counter part.

The storyline of the movie is absolutely amazing revolving around high octane racing with the politics and business dealings that go along with it.The cast included Emile Hirsh as Speed,Cristina Ricci,John Goodman,Susan Sarandon and many other famous actors.Every single actor managed to pull off their parts well and im keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel for sure.

Silly Season of a footy season

EPL football season just ended last weekend with Man utd lifting the trophy.While Chelsea came second followed by a mixed emotion Arsenal and Liverpool in 4th place.Arsenal were leading the pack for a long stretch of the season but unfortunately they slipped up in afew matches and handed the title to Man Utd.The demise of Arsenal this season can largely be placed upon the shoulders of the players and their bad luck.Players like Emmanuel Adebayor who played really well this season sometimes just fizzled out on certain occasions just left our attack dry.Our defense was not much to brag about either with the new captain Gallas who ran off crying in one match.The only defenders that performed were Gael Clichy who made masterful splitting runs all over the place and the new signing Bacary Sagna who stamped his place as an ultimate right back.Emmanuel Eboue often just played as the 11th man in the team doing absolutely nothing most of the time which was frustrating for a fan seeing him run run and run and lose the ball.Often enough i kept hearing myself shout pass the goddamn ball mann!!!

Arsenal had really bad luck with injuries this season.There were times when we had to field a really poor squad against big teams cause of injuries which costs us dearly.Robin Van Persie started the season cracking but got injured and missed the rest of the games.When he came back he was absolutely shite...No composure,no confidence,No enthusiasm to play for the team.
Many of the players were gutted when they witnessed the horror injury our new signing Eduardo Da Silva faced and we lost him for the rest of the season.Who knows if he will ever regain his skills after that injury.

On a good note afew Arsenal players did do well this season.Fabregas as always keeps getting better and better.Flamini the traitor managed to shrug off a hopeless season before and come out all guns blazing this season which got him noticed by AC Milan.Alexander Hleb was a master of trickery this season showing us some wonderful football and we will truly miss him if he decides to leave.Niklas Bendtner did fairly well giving us some crucial goals in crucial matches this season and last but not least Theo Wallcot the wonderkid of the season.He has shown us why Wenger put his faith in such a young kid.He is maturing and will turn out to be one hell of a player for the future.

My thoughts for the next season is we should just try and keep everyone we have at the club and pick some solid players to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.I would love to see Wallcot and players like Vela,Barazite and Merida get some playing time next season.Thanks Mr. Wenger for a fun season of beautiful football:)

Malaysian Blogger jailed!!

Malaysian Blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin , was charged with sedition this morning for allegedly implying that a politician in Malaysia was involved in a murder case that happen in 2006.Blogging in Malaysia has become extremely popular in the recent years and many of them are directed at the Malaysian government.I for one am not one for politics but im always pro human rights and freedom of speech.I wont go into this topic too much but i will be giving updates on the situation right here cause im a big fan of his blog(which im sure all of you would know how to find using the great Uncle Google).His style of writing is absolutely amazing and will keep you glued on and interested for hours.So do take a look at it if you have the time.

Arsenal's Flamini Joins Milan

What a load of bullshit!!!If it wasn't for Arsene Wenger,Mathieu Flamini would just be another obscure and mediocre French player.He was molded into the perfect midfielder at Arsenal and now he just back stabs Wenger and leaves just cause Milan can pay him more?Ungrateful little shit....

Flamini managed to let Fabregas play his true game this season.Basically he stopped everyone else before they could stop Fabregas.The big test is who Wenger will get to replace Flamini.Right now we have in defensive midfield-

Gilberto(Might Leave soon as well)
Dinelson(Abit to young and isnt ready for first team football yet)
Alexandre Song(Good but plays kinda messy and would probably end up being a better center back)
Diaby(Played as a winger mostly this season but was pretty disappointing as a Defensive Midfielder)

The people we currently have are not really first team material and its time Arsenal go out an buy.We lost a great player in Flamini and we need to get another great player to replace him.Someone who can fit into the English game and play Wenger Ball as well.Its too early to speculate on who we'll sign cause Wenger always ends up signing some unknown player which shocks the world.From what ive heard so far Arsenal have afew people on their short list.Lille midfielder Jean II Makoun is one of them.He looks alright,quite aggressive and has a good defensive mentality.Another report says were interested in this guy....



Lorik Cana,the 24 year old Albanian from Marseille.From that video all i can say is he looks like one crazy ass psycho.He would be perfect for Arsenal,a regular thug!!Thats exactly what we need...Think about it,with him around imagine away games at Bolton or BlackBurn.He would practically annihilate them giving the rest of the team the freedom to do what they do best....play beautiful football

Chaos at Icon Buffet

Im an avid fan of Icon Buffet which is basically a place where people can trade icons with each other.Its an online community thing with a forum and its main attraction is the fact that every month afew sets of icons are released by the chefs(icon designers and developers of the website).These icons can be used for anything and they are free!!!Every month you get one free set of cool icons and 10 tokens which you use to get other icon sets from people.Ive got about 28 icons so far but there are loads of them with different themes and styles.

Afew days ago a user named elnitido52 used ASCII art to express his love for iconBuffet.ASCII is a form of art where you use alphabets and numbers to make an image.The image read "You Know What...I Love Icon Buffet.The chefs took this the wrong way and told him to stop doing ASCII art cause its messy and annoying.We were all shocked with their response and they took it further by starting an investigation on elnitido52 by claiming that he created fake accounts.Icon Buffet has a strict policy on creating multiple accounts because you can cheat the whole purpose of the game by doing this.Our dear friend elnitido52 has loads of relatives and friends so being a great fan of Icon Buffet he told them to join and in turn he got a referral which gives you points.They closed every account which was under his referral causing great chaos on the forums.Some of the members decided to show their support by using elnitido52's avatar which is a rotating 3d pirate cross bone .





I wrote a post talking about how ASCII was one of the first forms of graphic design and quoted wikipedia on how its done.Being an icon design site they should respect one of the origins of graphic design but they simply deleted my post and threatened to close/deactivate my account!!!This is nothing but Anarchy in its lowest form...

Iron Man #159 on IMDB

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/

On its first week,Iron Man has got into the imdb top 200 list.Not many movies get in there and the guys at Marvel must really be proud cause this is the first of theirs that made it on the list.Their rivals/competitors DC comics have Batman Begins which is truly a masterpiece on the list.

I checked out Iron Man yesterday expecting it to be a cheap and flaky action movie filled with state of the art CG and bad acting.Marvel has had a somewhat bad run in the movie business(except for the Spiderman and X-men series) as they release crap like Ghost Rider,Daredevil and the absolutely ridiculous Hulk.
Iron Man wasnt what i expected...Robert Downey Jr. is perfect as Tony Stark,noone else could act as the playboy billionaire.The movie had a great story and flow to it from beginning to end.The cast was picked well and War Monger was an amazing bad guy in the movie.They got this one right for sure:)Best part of all is the addition of the Black Sabbath track "Iron Man" at the end credits but hey this movie has shits loads of old school rock tracks.Also make sure to stay till the end of the credits cause there's a peek of Samuel L Jackson as Nick Furk!!!

So go out there and watch it...its worth it:)

Dr. M and his new blog
