If you’re looking for a really good and comprehensive Gunners blog, there are many out there including ArseBlog, The Cannon and A Cultured Left Foot. The space reserved for the Gunners on this blog is for heartfelt rants and thoughts at random times. Video highlights are often added to keep things fresh. It’s my way of keeping in touch with The Arsenal even though I’m thousands of miles away. Also, this is probably a good place to plug myp2p.eu which helps me watch a lot of Arsenal games here in Canada. I wrote about them a while back too.

You can view all Arsenal posts by following this link.

Here’s some nice Arsenal videos from YouTube:

    Hey Arsenalist,

    Nice job…me, a fella gooner from Singapore. Cheers.

    Hey…. I just moved to Surrey,BC. from Norway lately, and was at a complete loss of words when I woke up “early” on Sunday the 21st of Jan to hopefully watch th Arse – M*nU game, only to be terribly disappointed (and consequently disgruntled). And neither did I have access to internet, to plug my ppstream, Tvants and ppmate-ridden laptop and watch us stick one over the mancs.

    This is just a concurrence to your earlier claim of P2P saving your life.

    Great victory yesterday though…Denilson and Diaby were a revelation…and everybody worked hard. Always thought that we were a better team with Hleb than without, and Ros has sort of been omni-present in almost everything good coming in the opponents half, these last two games.

    Up the gunners…

    DUDE, you like all the things I like!?!?

    I honestly thought my dad and I were the only football/arsenal fans in the entire country. in this hockey-obsessed country of ours, its nice to know others some fellow countrymen appreciate the genius of arsenal. my friends are hopeless.

    anyways, cheers for the highlights. i see you made the 7am wake up call as well.

    ps – livetv.ru/en is also a GREAT site for finding game streams. i highly recommend it.

  8. arsenalist Says:

    Nice to know there’s human life out there mike. Thanks for the link, will check it out.

  9. RVP fan Says:

    any leads on some gunner pubs in toronto?
    im tired of watching and getting drunk by myself.
    I need to know a place where fellow arsenal supporters can go to catch a game!
    PLEASE!

  10. Summit Says:

    FABREGAS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. ezboy Says:

    I felt sorry when Hennery says good bye arsenal fans but am glad that we have Vanperesi.

  12. Paul Says:

    hey just moved to toronto from london
    looking for a place to watch the arsenal games
    any knowledge??

  13. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    I’m still in mourning…yea it wasn’t first team, but still….

    (it’s Spanish btw, only one I could find)

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yFPbQxNitw&rel=1]

  14. arsenalist Says:

    no gunner, i don’t want to see those highlghts, i actually recorded them but didn’t put them up…..nothing to see here…

  15. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    I understand u on that Arsenalist…. hey, what about the Andre Ayew (Marseille) purchase? any ideas on that? & opinion?

  16. Pat Says:

    Fealing disheartened about the spurs game??

    Same shit feeling as all of us.

    I didn’t get to see the Newcastle game, and I wanted to check the highlights, since you usually have them up quick, from what I hear.

    Its alright, you’re probably not sober enough, after that night.lol

  17. gunner widge Says:

    hey peepz

    hu u think is arsenal’s best singing???

  18. Luke Says:

    Iceman

  19. Pat Says:

    Damn, I hope we have more heart in the Milan game.
    Arsenalist, I was on the fsc website and I posted something like this:
    “With this squad, I’m scared of a 5-1 repeat.”

    I was damn close.

    Lets hope those injuries are just fabricated stories to prevent criticism of wenger.

  20. siren Says:

    I’m wounded and sore too… urgh…

    On to the next game then eh? xx

  21. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    Man…….I dont even know where to start. Although maybe a bit of cliche, I still got take consolation in the fact that numerous injury woes complimented by a little mental breakdown, had a part in that loss. Well, hey, we all know that’s not gonna have an effect on the Premiership and a better performance at UEFA, right??? Well I know for sure.

    I’m wearing my recently acquired Adebayor jersey, proud, right about now.
    :-P

    “One Love!”

  22. rizwan Says:

    Great game…
    This says a lot for this young group of players….
    Arsenal had possession for most of the second half and they came up big with 2 goals.
    first english team to beat the defending champions in their own stadium…
    go gunners!

  23. Guner Says:

    Greeting to all Gunner fans..from Mauritius

  24. Ashleigh Says:

    Any pubs in Toronto where we can get together to support the boys???? I’ve seen this question asked before…no replies. So thought I’d throw it out there again.

  25. Stan Says:

    Dude,

    Thanks for the great website. In my country Kenya, about 90% of the population (football fans that is) support Arsenal. Since I came to the US for further studies, I have had some trouble getting to watch some of Arsenal games becoz it always conflicts with my schedule, thanks to ur highlights I can see what I’ve missed.

    Keep up the good work.

    By the way are you ready for GRAND SLAM SUNDAY (LIVERPOOL VS MAN U & ARSENAL VS CHELSEA!!!)

  26. kaya Says:

    why dont u guys get together and go to some bar in toronto and watch it together ..

    the game .. just a thought..

    some arsenal fan in toronto

  27. John Says:

    Love the site. Great mixture of the two teams. THanks for the highlights and insights.

  28. BALZAK Says:

    I’M SORRY……BUT I LOST ALL MY RESPECT FOR THE GUNNERS AFTER ALOT OF BULLSHIT GOING ON THERE.
    THIERRY HENRY WAS THE ONLY REASON WHY I SUPPORTED THEM AND SINCE HE LEFT I JUST DIDNT FEEL THE SAME ABOUT THEM…. THEN ALL THE POOR RESULTS CAME IN, 4 – 0 TO MANU?????? NOW THAT DOESNT FLY. SO I GUESS ITS OF TO BARCA WITH ME

  29. BALZAK Says:

    BUT THE SITE STIL REMAINS GREAT

  30. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    So Balzak, doesn’t that make you a Henry fan instead of an Arsenal fan?

  31. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL BY ABU DIABY, ROSICKY MUST BE PROUD !!

  32. arse Says:

    2 – 4 to pool….y’all must be proud!!!

  33. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    Name the 5 “baddest” soccer players (in terms of behaviour & temper) you know in the past 10 years in order of “baddest”. My pick is below:

    5. Gennaro Gattuso

    4. Patrick Viera

    3. Roy Keane

    2. Paolo Di Canio

    1. Eric Cantona

    (I had a tough time figuring out which of the last two would be #1. Also, Aliaksandr Hleb would prob be #6)

  34. Ronald Says:

    This da damn nice thing u all have done for “GUNNER“ fans…I am a fella frm India,darjeeling…so East or west Arsenal’s the best….

  35. Gunner_in_Jamaica Says:

    Is the link below a hoax or what……

  36. mo Says:

    where do arsenal fans unite for matchdays?? i am from winnipeg moving to Toronto in the summer.. there isnt any arsenal group gatherings here.. but i am sure theres gotta be one in toronto somewhere. if not. 2009 the season of the Arsenal should have a get together point and some pub to watch the games and cheer on our team!

  37. Jonny F Says:

    Listen, for everyone in Toronto that wants to watch a game, I usually go to Scallywags at Yonge and St. Claire.

    There’s always a bunch of Gooners, but bear in mind that it’s an official Tottenham and Liverpool supporters bar (but they always show every major match), so usually it’s packed with them… but we always give ‘em a good show.

    Hi!xxfq! http://kihdoymh.com hbplg fyanj http://yurweogy.com buslk xvzxw

  39. henry Says:

    how come there is no official gunners pub in toronto???
    if manure, spuds and the scousers have official pubs for supporters to watch the game dont you think we should have one too???

  40. Martyn Peters Says:

    Thanks a lot for putting these highlights of the friendly games up. I recently moved to Mexico City from North London and it’s the only way I would be watching them. (Too cheap to pay the £4 a month for ATVO! hahaha) Come on you gooners and Carlos Vela!!!!

  41. Cathal Brennan Says:

    Hi, I would like to thank you for putting all of these highlights up!

    A pity they lost to Juve today!

  42. unclesean Says:

    Thanks for the friendly highlights mate.
    Nothing much on the telly here in Melbourne until the real stuff starts.
    Cheers

  45. Scott Says:

    Seems as if there are a lot of Toronto area Gunners fans, looking for a place to happen on match day. It doesn’t seem quite right sharing a pub with LFC and Spuds supporters though. Is there not a pub to make our own??

  50. Arsenal Blog Says:

    Thanks for your nice article.
    No doubt, Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry are the greatest ever players played for Gunners in the history. All of them dominated others in their during their reign at Arsenal.
    Once again thanks for the nice videos.

  51. DR. Helgeson Says:

    where are you man i need my highlights!!!

  52. Nick Brent Says:

    Cheers for the website, the video highlights are great. I know this would be hard as you live on the wrong side of the sea but if you could find a way to get videos of the MOTD analysis up that would be greatly appreciated.

    Keep up the good work.

  54. Jibran Says:

    Gunners in Toronto – email me or add me on msn so we can set up a meeting..I moved here recently and I don’t know where to go for the games.
    If anybody’s interested, please email me!
    (I’m 17, don’t drink, but I’m hoping the bars will let me in)

  55. Fluke Says:

    Hi,

    Just moved to Toronto. There are people like Jibran, Rvp fan, Paul, Kaya, Mo, Henry here and I am sure there are others. So if someone can suggest a bar and we will meet there. We can spread the news on the various arsenal forums too.

  58. Arsenal Rox Says:

    Arsenal VS. Manchester United…

    Result: In my opinion, Arsenal is going to lose sadly, biterrly and sorrowfully. But oh well, it IS MU FC.

    BIG Disadvantages: Adebayor has an ankle injury for 3 weeks. (-.-) Mikael Silvestre has a “broke” nose during the stupid match against the noobs Fenerbahce. No Adebayor, Van Persie, Rosicky and maybe no Silvestre.

    Tell me, how screwed up can it get for Arsenal?! Tell me! :’(

    Anyways, good luck on the match against the Double Champions, MU!

    Arsenal Rocks Forever! :D

  59. SOUTH-AFRICAN GUNNER Says:

  64. graygooner Says:

    Can;t wait for international break to be over, then we can get back to watching real football at the Emirates!! Feel your pain in Toronto, in Manhattan myself, any gooners here? Where do you guys watch? Is there a “home” bar? Love da site, go Gooners!!

  65. cescfiberglass (formerly Mo) Says:

    hey guys,
    still no official arsenal pub/hangout? Toronto so far has been good to me. met another Arsenal and a Liverpool fan that I usually enjoy my satuday mornings, and alternate tues/wed afternoon footballing with. we would love a pub or something to share the excitement with other gooners or whoever. Somewhere in the Durham region maybe?? if not, setanta at one of our homes will have to continue to make due!
    UP THE ARSE.

    Great site btw- keep it up!

  66. graygooner Says:

    Well,finally took care of Wigan! Need to get that defense sorted,start like that against Chelski and we will be 3 nothing down at halftime. Worrying for sure bur AW should take care of it. 18 games without defeat in PL,great run,must stay focused now and keep up our cup run. WE NEED SILVERWARE! More injuries but to be fair every team this time of year has that problem,so I won’t be using that as an excuse if it goes bad. 3-2 for The Arsenal on the day but I think we will be defending that lead at the end and that,as we all know,is the hardest thing for this team to do (re:Villa & Spuds) yet that being said,we can and will beat Chelski :) GO GOONERS!!!!!

  67. graygooner Says:

    have just backed Arsenal to win 3-1 over Villareal tonite, strangely enough I picked Villa to score the first goal but as recent form would have it,that just seems to wake us up and its all Arsenal from then on,GO GOONERS!!!! Pity my mate Owen,not only will he be out $100 but he is also a Liverpool fan hahahahahahaha :) :):)

  68. graygooner Says:

    Well Owen shook my hand and took my money. Never liked him anyway! Well done The Arsenal, now bring on Chelski and as for Man Utd,they should be worried as they have been nowhere near convincing of late,once again well done The Arsenal :) :):) GO GOONERS!!

  69. goonerkap Says:

    great job man, keep up the good work ! everytime i enter this site i enjoy watching the replays over and over again, even when we lose…this time it realy didn’t. let’s hope we win the CL ! God bless the gunners !

  70. I am Gooner Says:

    Just moving back to live in Toronto again. Am a die hard Arsenal fan of 50 years and have just handed my season ticket over to mate. Any other Gooners that live in the 401/Warden area to chat football about – my other half is a spud so he doesnt know anything about football lmao.

    Cheers, Sue

    wow, there are more gooners in canada than i ever could have imagined. this gives me hope for the overall intelligence quotient of our country. i live in edmonton, where it seems, 9 out of every 10 footy fans are front running man u fans. i have been cheering for arsenal for, i don’t know how many years, and i hear it from all my friends who cheer for man u. (oddly familiar feeling, as i am a blue jays fan, and somehow all my friends are now yankee fans, i hate front runners, they not real fans, no matter how much they protest) i have only met 5 gooners here, i worked with 9 man u fans in one hotel. GO GUNNERS GO!!!

    Great review of Atom Smasher, TAO! This is a figure that I’ll never assemble, of course, but I very much enjoyed reading your assessment of him. The paint doesn’t look all that bad to me, though — your awesome photography must be helping AS out in that respect.

  85. new movies coming soon Says:

    Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful well let me know how it turns out! I love what you guys are always up too. Such clever work and reporting! Keep up the great works guys I’ve added you guys to my blogroll.

    I?m thinking about apply for another credit card when I already have four
    I have four credit cards and all with zero balances.The thing is, they all have high rates. I?m going to school and applied for student loans but those only cover my tuition and I need something for living expenses. I have money saved up and my boyfriend is helping me in the meantime but his work isn?t stable. It only goes by projects. If there are no projects, there is no work. I wanted to apply for another credit card to hold onto incase of emergencies but want a low interest rate since income is very little. I was thinking of applying at navy federal becasue they have cards as low as 7.9 and if anything would vary up to 14.65. My credit cards now are still way over 14%. My score is 761. If I applied for another one, would it do some damage on my score??? http://www.autoinsurancepool.info/

    Man, now I’m just getting so tired of hearing people bitch about the bailout. The fact is that if people were really upset, they would take all theirt money out of the banks and FORCE them to fail, or run up a huge debt and just refuse to pay. Some kind of civil disobedience is clearly called for here, is all I am saying, and if big banking is destroyed in the process, it’s about time. http://tinyurl.com/yemopev
