Alright guys, thought this might be helpful for any of you wanting to be a bit more in the know regarding transfers and such like, as well being exposed to the opinions of some very experienced and intelligent season ticket gooners.
First up, if you're apprehensive of using Twitter, don't be. You don't have to write anything but it can be really useful for finding out stuff early. Some good gooners to follow:
@arseblog - Writes Arseblog, very intelligent and funny. Finds things out early.
@LittleDutchVA - very down to earth and worthwhile following. Writes hilarious column for Arseblog. Usually answers any questions as well.
@DarrenArsenal1 - Has been supporting Arsenal for decades, and takes a very unsentimental view of the club. Knowledgeable about the finances as well.
@timpayton - Big gooner, part of AST.
@YoungGunsBlog - News and opinions on young gunners as well as old.
@Goonertalk - suggested by 50P.
There are of course others, and I would recommend @onearsenewenger and @gunnerblog.
Hope this is helpful. Twitter really is a fantastic tool for finding news about Arsenal (or anything!) early so get on it, and if you're already on it, I highly suggest you follow the above Gooners.
Also if anyone knows of any other Arsenal fans on Twitter who are worthwhile following, please share. Cheers, have a nice day.

All good stuff - but can people share what they find out on my thread below?
Don't mean to hijack your thread by the way Arsenes litle grey cells.

Not a problem. I'm furiously fighting a crusade against a very small group of ignorami who still think Kaka and Benzema are coming to us this window.

Twitter is also a fabulous source for rumours that will never happen. They spread like wildfire, and once 20 or more people have tweeted about the same rumour, it becomes 'widely reported', which means EVERYONE gets excited....
...and then nothing happens. Until another rumour is started.

You only get rumours like that if you search #arsenal. Follow down-to-earth, in the know people like I have listed above and it is very useful. If you don't like it, that's fine.
