no problem... i came across it and kept wondering how it was so similar to what i'd read earlier in the day..

you'd submitted your article on the 16th, him on 17th - so i figured you were the "inspiration" :)

but seriously, he just copied your article straight up.. just terrible...

Hello Matthew, take a look at this:

i don't think you're gonna like it one bit...

Matthew, thanks for the article on Matt Fondy. You certainly did your homework. Wow!! Our whole family is on cloud nine and your article topped it off. Thanks again!!

Thanks for the kind words Matthew. Truly appreciate them.

Mate you're a big Arsenal fan. Any chance you could check this one out and let me know what you think? — http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1271421-arsenal-transfer-news-an-idiots-guide-to-the-robin-van-persie-saga. Cheers.

Hey, thanks for contacting me in regards to Vela's buy-back clause. Yeah, I read it in Spanish papers Mundo Deportivo and Marca, so I doubt its a rumor. It is very interesting I think. It's almost as if Wenger feels Vela has massive potential and couldn't just sell him unconditionally and instead, included a option to buy him back should he mature and develop into the player many have been waiting since those cold winter days in 2005.

Hey Matthew, it seems Wenger has decided to unleash the bad ass inside him after all!!

Apparently, in an De Telegraaf, he's defended RvP by blaming the Dutch team set up, accused Man City & Barca of "destroying my work" and claimed he could've easily made more money had he left Arsenal but he didn't because of his philosophy...

i can't seem to find a decent link to the actual interview.. nor can i get the page translated either...

reckon you can investigate if he really said that??

In the "Andrei Arshavin Excelling..." article, i guess you meant Euro '12 instead of '08 when you wrote:

"But the fact remains that, hijinks aside, Arshavin at Euro '08 has been a rebirth of sorts for the attacking maestro."

or i must've read it in the wrong context...

great article though, all Gunners are firing at the Euros!

Anytime, Matt. Keep up the good work.

No problem. I forgot to say: good analysis.
