Arsenal Canada would like to welcome our newest player, Thomas Vermaelen.

The former captain of Ajax joins us just in time for pre-season training and is a welcome addition to our back line. According to the official site he can play in the centre of defence and in the (already crowded) left back position. Visit the official site for more information here.

A few offers from Arsenal — a few of the many perks of becoming a member:

1. Pre season tickets for sale on a match by match basis for all home games. These tickets will be sold to the public after this date. Tickets are first come first served. All tickets are located in shared Executive Boxes (you can hire a whole box if you wish). Please note that this promotion ends on the 8th of July.

2. England Legends Dinner and Christmas Legends Dinner offers. I must admit, I’m not aware of these festivities but here are the offers anyway:
Supporters Clubs booking places for the England Legends Dinner will receive a 10% discount.
Supporters Clubs booking places for both the England Legends Dinner and the Christmas Legends Dinner will receive a 20% discount.
(Please note that there is no discount for places booked for the Christmas Legends Dinner only).

If you’re interested in either of these offers, feel free to post a thread in the forums and someone in the committee will help you make it happen!

The long summer months devoid of Arsenal will come to an end on the 15th of August at Everton’s Goodison Park. Our first home game follows three days later against Bolton on the 18th. The most interesting and nail biting time for us will be from January 30th to February 9th when we face United, Chelsea and Liverpool in a row. Apart from that, we hope to give a scare to Tottenham on Halloween which should be an interesting date for all involved.
