Time is rapidly running out for us to get together a team to enter the Arsenal Supporters Club tournament, the tournament takes place on the 18th May and we are allowed 7 players plus a non-playing manager. We have 3 players in place and need another 3 or 4 plus the non-playing manager.

The team is open to all paid-up members. Selection will be based on a few criteria if we have more than the required 8 applicants.
Generally, if there are more than 8 applicants the selection will be based on a random draw, giving members with seniority a bit of priority. There is one small catch before you book your plane ticket – we are not guaranteed a place in the tournament if it is over-subscribed then a draw takes place to see which clubs get to play on the hallowed turf.

It is important to note the players and manager are responsible for their own travel and accommodations.
Arsenal Canada is not guaranteed entrance into the tournament so please await confirmation of our acceptance before booking any travel arrangements. Please visit this forum for more information http://www.arsenalcanada.ca/forums/showthread.php?p=3678

In other news, the February Player of the month was once again Mr Adebayor. It’s two in a row for the Togonator. In the closest vote we’ve had to date, Ade edged out Jens Lehmann by one vote with Senderos, Eduardo, Hleb and Flamini all a further vote behind. Thanks to all who took part and watch out for our Player of the Year voting which is coming soon.
