    Arsenal kicked off their 2005/2006 Premiership campaign with a 2 – 0 victory over Newcastle at Highbury on Sunday. The match was shown on Sky Sports and was the first of their two live matches. Newcastle came to defend, which is relatively easy to do at Highbury given the small size of the pitch. The…

    The 2005/2006 Premiership season is almost under way, and in what seems to be a regular occurrence, Arsenal featured in the Community Shield, playing last season’s champions Chelsea. As the match was shown live on Sky Sports, I was able to watch the full match. It was a good game, with Chelsea continuing where they…

    Eurogamer are reporting that the XBox 360 could cost €349 when it is released later this year. There also seems to be confusion around whether there will be more than one version of the XBox 360 at launch, and whether it will ship with the hard drive or not. Shipping it without one would cause…

    Eurogamer are quoting UK sources and reporting that the XBox 360 could launch in Europe on November 25th. That would give it a good four or five week period leading up to Christmas, and seems a likely date. Whether Microsoft can produce enough units to match demand seems unlikely, as it is looking like it…

    Seth Godin has another interesting post over on his blog. He talks about the affect of the “new media”. It seems to boil down to: “Focus is no longer expensive. Mass is.”

    Frankie teases us in this week’s Weekly What’s Update. He promises info on their new project, only to give this tiny nugget: “Teaser: Work is proceeding apace on our next project, whatever that may be.” I’m glad to see they’re busy, but a bit more info would be appreciated 🙁

    Seth Godin is a marketing author who talks a lot of sense (in my opinion!). In this post on his blog he talks about the challenges of changing people’s minds: Being right isn’t the point. Being right and being persuasive don’t seem to matter much either. Being right, being persuasive and being with the right…

    Arsène Wenger has revealed on Arsenal.com that he will purchase a new goalkeeper by Friday. It is likely that this will be Uruguayan Sebastian Viera, especially since Dean Kiely – who was linked with Arsenal earlier this summer – has broken a finger (like Almunia), and thus would not solve Wenger’s problem that he has…
