EDUARDO OUT INDEFINITELY AFTER MALICIOUS TACKLE

By 2 Comments

Eduardo da Silva broke his left leg Saturday afternoon in the 3rd minute of the Arsenal-Birmingham match.

The home jerseys, which have always consisted of the red and white checker design, have not yet been officially released by Nike, but these pictures show what they are probably going to look like. … [Read more...] about POSSIBLE 2008/2009 HOME JERSEY DESIGN??
