Goodbye Yossi and a quick Arsenal round up!

I have said it before and I will say it again. I hate this time of year! With very little Arsenal news and the only football game is Sunday (tomorrow) I feel I am scratching around for something to write. Hey ho, perhaps I should be looking for inspiration from a large bottle of something?

It is a goodbye to Yossi Benayoun as his loan spell ends today and he goes back to Chelski. I would like to thank Yossi, he has been a brilliant player for us, under used at times but gave us some very important goals at the end of the season and he has a history of hurting Spurs with goals. Remember Lasagnegate? He scored for West Ham then too so they missed Champions League football! Farewell and thanks Yossi!




Another player going today is Almunia. He really did fall out of favour but I will remember him fondly for allowing me to use the nickname "Tin Foil" Get it? Oh never mind! He played 175 times since joining in 2004 and along with David Seaman he holds the record for the most successfull keeper in penalty shoot outs, Doncaster, Sheffield Utd and AS Roma. Also leaving are Gavin Hoyte, Rhys Murphy, James Campbell, George Brislan-Hall and Jeffery Monakana. Good luck to them all in their future careers!



Finally team GB, without David Beckham( he looks like the mask from the film V for Vendetta ), will also not feature Jack Wilshere (Thank god!), diving specialist Garath Bale but Ramsey and Gibbs included so I hope for our sake there are no injuries or I will be helping Pearce to walk funny in future. Psycho or not!

Well transfer window open very soon so until then take care.
Laters,
The Dog
