Morning All. The transfer window came with high hopes for Arsenal fans, especially after bedding in Petr Cech early. But all the high hopes flew out of the window as the curtains slammed shut at 6pm, September 1st. Arsenal’s fans’ optimism was not misplaced. Having been told the Emirate’s Stadium debt had seized to be […]

Well, this seasons transfer window wasn’t a debacle, it wasn’t a train wreck either. It was nothing other than a massive anti climax for all Gooners, because to be defined as any sort of debacle, something needed to happen! I’m sure most of us had high hopes that at some stage Wenger would spend and […]
Morning all. Hope you’ve all got your yellow tops and ties on ready to join in the Sky Sports fiasco which is transfer deadline day. No? Me neither…. Wasn’t it this time last year, well not to the very day but the final day of the transfer window, when Arsene Wenger hoot-footed it out of […]
Morning all. It’s a Bank Holiday here in England and in typical fashion, it’s raining! Dark too, in fact it’s like August has turned into October over the last few days… I think it’s fair to say that the only thing on Arsenal fans mind now is will Arsene Wenger get us a couple of players […]
Morning all. Well I thought that game was going to be a real toughie. Lunchtime kick-off, the hostilities of St James Park and its rowdy fans and our slow start to the season. But in reality, it was a breeze wasn’t it. Did Petr Cech have a save to make? I don’t think so and as […]
Morning you all. It’s Saturday, its match day and it’s time to get behind the team for ninety minutes. Actually, it’s not just about getting behind the team for ninety minutes, it’s about getting behind them for an entire season because that’s what true footballing fans do. And I think they need us. Tough game […]
Morning all. The transfer window causes Arsene Wenger a headache it seems but you know what, it causes the fans a bigger one. Perhaps because we’ve only signed Petr Cech so far and with just six days to go, tension is rising… That’s fine, it’s expected as most of us just want a couple of players […]
Morning all. Back in 1988 and on this very day Steve Bould made his Arsenal debut in a 5-1 win at Wimbledon. I wonder what he makes of our frugal transfer window…… Mesut Ozil, our number 10 even though he wears number 11 and get’s shunted all over the pace sometimes, has been talking about goals but is […]
Morning all. Did you know that Arsenal haven’t scored a goal in five of our last six home games? In that sixth game when we did score, Theo Walcott started the match – unlike the other five. So why is he not playing? Seriously, why is the man who Arsene Wenger, and Arsenal were so desperate […]
Morning all. Not a good one either is it? To lose both Mertesacker and Koscielny prior to kick-off was a massive double blow. Chambers and Gabriel came in and yet again, Walcott was on the bench as was Oxlade-Chamberlain which I found quite odd. Pace – gone….. The first half was awful for many reasons. […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to ‘It’s up for grabs now’ hero, Michael Thomas. He’s 48 years old and shares his birthday with Vic Akers. The latter is slightly older…. Did you know he’s been at Arsenal since 1984? Man City looked good yesterday and I can’t help feeling a tad envious of their squad. Watching Aguero, Silva, Toure, […]
Morning all. Yesterday saw a few odd results in the PL. West Ham, yes, the side we lost to so easily on the opening day of the season were beaten at home by newly promoted Bournemouth. Totts were held 1-1 by Leicester and Utd drew 0-0 at home against Newcastle. Swansea dropped two points at […]
