I hope AW goes after Babel and Huntelaar actually, if you are going to "blow it up and start young" you might as well add some incredible talent. Through in Sagna and let's see if anyone worked on their finishing in the off season.

The problem with attracting the highest end talent is that you just sold your biggest attraction.

If Wenger continues to bring in youth I could see him staying. I think Dein will be back in when Kroenke grabs his shares. Henry was not going to stay because all he lacks is the CL trophy and Arsenal are re-tooling. Kinda reminds me of when ManU got rid of Nistelrooy... I hope it yeilds the same result (although AFc is lacking the veterans that the Red Devils had).

@preciousroy: Is that why they finished miles behind Chelsea? It's not just head-to-head matches that count.

@SuperFrankieLampard: Really? Didn't worry Chelsea? Funny because they drew both Prem matches.

Positive the last was without Henry. Think the first might have been as well. So they are already tying you without him.

Only little bitches play FIFA; you must graduate to Winning XI.

Aww, Will looks more and more the cranky writer every time a camera steals his virtue.

On the line are the 2007 Gold Cup, an invitation to the 2009 Confederations Cup, and, I believe, Texas.

If our president is thrown into the Texas package, throwing the game may be a bit tempting, for both sides. Can the US say that Cheney and his jagoffs are at stake and just not show up?

Gutted.

I wish Henry all the best, he's a legend at Arsenal. Time for the kids to step up. I have already changed the avatar... it just didn't feel right.

Can we officially ask next Weekend Daddy to continue to post soccer news? It makes me feel very cosmopolitian.

@RashaanEnis: I was almost not going to wear it, but fuck it.

I got some "hey, metschick" yesterday in queens, as I looked for a drug store before pre-gaming, and after I left the bar, after the game.

@Spectacular Sam: Give this a shot, or try here.

Are people really surprised by this transfer? After the season they had, and the way he spent most of it pouting, I'm kind of surprised it took as long as it did.

With this news, and once Arsene leaves Arsenal (soon), David Hirshey will kill himself.

As a Chelsea fan I'm happy Arsenal will be worse next season, but it's not like they worried Chelsea even with Henry. It's always a shame to lose such a fun player to watch, though.
