I seem to recall Arsenal and Juve have a good relationship going back a few years. I remember a few years ago hearing about a supposed conversation between Arsenal directors, maybe David Dein, and one of theirs who cheekily asked who is available and Dein said nobody. Dein asked the same question and he said that Henry chap might be available...

Yeah, and I remember years back Italian Clubs coming over for a tour and commenting that Arsenal was the way Clubs should be run, top to bottom. Which also makes me more frightened of the takeover cos I want it to remain as it is forever. Full stop.

There's a story in the guardian today about Usmanov taking another run at the club.

Just checked the TV guide for next week and ITV1 are showing... Manchester United vs. Lyon.

Does this piss anyone else off? Can anyone even remember the last time ITV1 showed an Arsenal game in the Champions League? They always seem to clash with United, and United always get preference. I can't get ITV4 so I don't get to see Arsenal play AC Milan, which is about 100x a more exciting prospect than United/Lyon.

You'd think in the interests of fairness they'd show other teams occasionally.

RTÉ 2 are the same here in Ireland. Always ManYoo. No matter the game, if you Utd are playing, there the live game.

I'm surprised Liam Brady hasn't gone around ending fools in RTÉ for the obvious disrespect shown to the Arsenal. He's always there doing some ace analysis.

Nice article from the excellent Young Guns:

Top 5 Arsenal Youngsters To Watch In 2008

Yes we are nearly three months in to the new year, but quite a few people have asked me this, so who are the top five players to watch during 2008, the end of this season and in to next?

The Countdown

1) Carlos Vela - Mexican - Striker/Winger

Carlos is definitely one to watch this year because he is one of the biggest talents in world football, 2008 will see him finish the season on loan with Osasuna, and finally return to Arsenal.

The 18 year old has become a firm fans favourite in Pamplona this season with coach Jose Angel Ziganda playing a 4-3-3 formation the Mexican has found himself playing as a left winger, and he has took to the role impressively, his blistering pace and energy, as well as technical skills have all been tested as the teenager has been marked by the likes of Daniel Alves, Sergio Ramos, and World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta, on all occasions he performance’s expertly.

Young Guns has been keeping all its readers up to date with how Carlos is doing, with regular reports to catch up on them, visit our Loanees section

2) Nacer Barazite - Dutch - Striker

Nacer has been amazing since he joined the club in the summer of 2006, starting out as a goalscoring central midfielder he has slowly been pushed forward, to operate as a winger, on either flank, and then as a striker both supporting, and now as the main man.

This season has seen him make the transition to the first team, showing his impressive skills, before injury ended his spell, but with Eduardo suffering a horrific injury, and Nacer bang in form, it would be a safe bet that the Dutch man will get more chances for the Gunners first team.

He is one to watch, because of his wide array of talents, very quick and full of technical ability many have made the comparison between Nacer and Brazillain world player of the year Kaka, this season he has be fantastic, with 16 goals so far, including two hat-tricks

3) Pedro Bothelo - Brazilian - Winger

Much uncertainty has surrounded Pedro since he was signed in the summer of 2007, he was quickly loaned out to UD Salamanca but because of registration issues he could not make his debut for the Spanish outfit till January.

2008 will see him finish the year long loan, and he will either come back to Arsenal or he will be loaned again, an important decision for his long term future.

To read more about Pedro visit our recent article Here.

4) Jack Wilshere - English - Midfielder

Free scoring central midfielder Jack shot on to the scene this term, being promoted to Under 18’s football where he quickly found his feet, as well as the goals, also this season he has made his debut for the Reserves against Reading, scoring again, next season will see Jack make the step up to regular Reserves football, with questions such as will his size and physique be an issue against bigger players finally being answered.

Next season we will lean just how big a prospect young Wilshere could be, if he performs well a place in the Carling Cup squad could open up.

5) Benik Afobe - English - Striker

Next season will be huge for Benik, he will make the step-up to play Under 18’s football, following in the foot steps of other 15 year old’s Jack Wilshere, Rhys Murphy, and Marc Elston, who all found goals easy to come by after the transition from Under 16’s to Under 18’s football whilst still being school boys.

During this season Young Guns are brought you exclusive coverage of the Under 16’s and Afobe has proved to be the star, his composed clinical finishing in rapid numbers means he is rated as one of the biggest prospects in English football, 2008 will also see him pull on the England shirt and represent his country another big step up for the promising striker.

Arsenal star Alexander Hleb has rejected reports linking him with a possible move to Internazionale.

Reports earlier this week suggested Inter were lining up a summer swoop for the midfield schemer.

Hleb has enjoyed a fantastic season to date with Arsenal and has been inspirational in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

The form of the Belarus international is believed to have attracted the attention of a host of top clubs including Inter and Barcelona.

However, Hleb insists he is unaware of any interest and that he is happy at Arsenal.

"All I can say is from my side there is nothing going on," Hleb told skysports.com.

"I am very proud to play for Arsenal."

Hleb's agent, Niki Spilevski, also confirmed the former Stuttgart star was content with life in North London.

"I can understand why clubs would be interested in Alex," Spilevski told skysports.com .

"But Alex loves life at Arsenal. He feels he is at the best club in the world."

Well done George Best, I mean Hleb.

Fucking hell, that made me do sex wee.

Well done George Best, I mean Hleb.

I've said before how he's got a bit of the Bests about him. One of the most skillful players I've seen in a long time, I just wish he'd put his fucking foot through the ball sometimes!

Go to the pub, have a beer, be sociable.
