Oh dear lord. Newly installed Roy Hodgson explains decision to pick Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by stating that the reason he opted for the young winger was the excellent manner in which he coped with Massimo Ambrosini and Andrea Pirlo at the Emirates earlier this season. The problem is of course that the Gunners attacker never played against either player mainly because former was suspended and the latter left AC Milan in the summer for Juventus.

Well that should help shift more Arsenal shirts out of the club shop!

Transfer rumour round-up.

Could this really be the shirt that Arsenal run out to on away days? Gunners fans will probably hope this is just a horrible fake.

Players who appear more than likely to be on their way this summer.

Time for an Emirates Stadium squad shake-up? If so, here is who should stay and who should go.

There are some wise souls who refuse to believe a club has signed a particular player until said player is posing in the club shirt on the official club website. For those very people, who up until now may have thought that the long running saga to bring Lukas Podolski to the Emirates Stadium was all a dream or the construct of a mean and dishonest media, we bring you a photo (not doctored) or the German international not only wearing an Arsenal shirt, but wearing the new Gunners strip that the club will wear next term! Enjoy

Big decision coming up for Emirates Stadium captain.

Transfer rumour round-up.

The best of the best from an incredibly exciting season.
