The Mad Parson

It’s really a lovely time to be a Gooner right now. Victories across three competitions against the likes of ‘Pool, Sp*rs, and Alkmaar are not only fun results, but they have been a joy to watch. This weekend, the mighty, mighty Arsenal are back in Premier League action against Wolverhampton Wolves, and with Chelsea and United playing one another Sunday, it’s a chance to edge further up the table. With that in mind, here’s some juicy news to keep you from getting Gunner DTs until kickoff Saturday:

Here’s a preview of Saturday’s match. As long as we don’t get stuck in second gear, the goals should really flow.

American Stan Kroenke has upped his stake in the club, and is a hair away from having to make a takeover bid. No, it’s not going to be a fiscal disaster like Liverpool or Manchester United. I hope he takes over, to be honest.

David Conn, who is truly a peerless football writer, has a fantastic piece on the chairman’s family ties to Arsenal.

If this tour of the stadium doesn’t make you salivate, turn in your autographed picture of Charlie George and all your scarves. You’re not a real Gunner.

Pictures of the Verminator. Heh.

Diaper dandy Craig Eastmond, who did so well in the Carling Cup tie against ‘Pool, is in the marauding horde traveling to Wolves. Good for him.

I suppose that’s enough. Kickoff is 12:30pm EST, and (at least in this neck of the woods), it’s on Setanta. All together now: “C’mon, you Gunners!!”
