Seems like you Gooners are not praying hard enough for the club early on. Continuous injuries to key players has proven to be our nemesis for so long now, and early season, when we haven’t come out of our shells yet, we have been hit by another one. Official sources have confirmed that Nasri requires a minor surgery for his knee injury that is definite to keep him out of action for a month. The Frenchman looked in good nick and in the absence of other stalwarts this definitely is a blow. 11G delves deeper into how Arsenal can counteract this most recent blow..

That jersey means the world to him!

You can all breathe a sigh of relief. What had started as a petty rumour, turned into a widespread speculation and then into an endless saga has concluded officially today as the man himself has vowed his future to Arsenal. The home where he wasn’t born but has become what he is today – one of the most dangerous midfielders of the modern game.

This much awaited declaration is bound to lift the spirits at N5 as the rigors of the new season is lurking round the corner; Cesc will be here, Barcelona’s endless pursuit has after all been in vain.

It is time to rejoice and now single mindedly focus on the new season and 11Gunners explains why this piece of news is the right tonic at the right time..

Wenger & Rice - Looking Ahead

Arsenal took just 90 seconds to kick-start their pre-season with a Andrey Arshavin goal. 2 more teams & 10 further goals later, they look in fine shape ahead of the Emirates Cup in a few days time. Barnet, SK Sturm Graz & SC Neusiedl were our opponents this time around, as we headed towards Austria like most summers. 11G sums up the results for you..
