Its going into the "Threads of Fame".

That's a good idea! Have all the epic threads available in one so peeps can peruse and reminisce!

I was thinking the same buddy!! I'll talk to the boss' about it.

You guys mean like this?

Indeed, but have it in a more visible section. I never even knew it existed cos it was buried away in the History of Arsenal Section.

This'll provide me with a good read when I'm bored at work from now on

New sig anyone?

Nice one ADS.

You could have at least put him in an Arsenal shirt though.

As you wish Cheesifer!

let's make it to 2009 posts... this year is starting to look brighter!!

[Inchpräctice]

anyone with atvo? could one of u tell us wot he said in his first interview?

Not that much.
His English isn't great and he has a very strong Russian accent. Most questions had to be explained to him again but that's partly because the Arsenal.com interviewers are such ignorant twats sometimes that they ask the question as if the player was born in Highbury.

Anyway he said that he's watched some Arsenal games since he met Wenger and that he'll be playing in an attacking role but he hasn't been told which one yet.
He hasn't spoken to Pavyluchenko because he's not a friend of his.

Playing for Arsenal was his dream, he likes Arsenal because of Wenger and because of our playing style and he also likes some of our players.
He believes we can still win a trophy blah blah.
He left Zenit because he didn't want to play in the Russian league anymore.
He wants to try and join the team a.s.a.p despite only being in pre-season training in Russia.
He was asked how long he'll take to adapt to this country and he said "When I look at the weather I feel at home."
Being 27 years old might help the team because it's such a young team so he might adapt quicker.
He would really like to play in the North London Derby but he needs to get his working visa first.
The performances in the Euros weren't the best of him and he wants to prove that there is more to come.
His message to the Arsenal fans is "Trust me."

That's pretty much it.

Arshavin officially signed people, open the champagne. (i'll open coke)

[dills]

Lol, I fell asleep for 2 and a half hours and missed the announcement. :p

He does look good with that Arsenal shirt though.

I thought he might not play in the Derby due to match fitness and it was upto Wenger to decide?

I'm sure it will be up to Wenger, but I wouldn't be surprised if he used him as a sub.

His English isn't great?? Mate, it's a damn sight better than Pavlyeacjkhov's!! I thought his English was great, considering Russians don't usually like to speak English. Check Shevchenko, okay he was Ukrainian but when did you hear him give an interview in English? And he's got an American wife!
And I rarely heard Luzhny give an interview.
I expect it won't take Arsh as much time to 'bed in'.

My first ever post:

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!

I cracked open a beer to celebrate.

I've been holding back saying anything on here out of fear of any type of jinx.

Nice to meet you all though =]

Now Gunngunn and rogerthornhill can go and lie down in a darkened room for about 4 hours, gently sobbing themselves to sleep.

About flippin time! I hope we can see him in the 1st team asap... Against Spuds would be an ideal time to score debut goal...
