Morning all. There they are, the current champions of Europe and they have to resort to falling, diving, call it what you like but in my opinion, it’s cheating. If that’s the way a team has to behave in order to win something, then it’s quite sad really.. Added to their cheating of course was the […]

Just two days short to the day, exactly one year ago, we travelled to Germany needing three goals to knock-out Bayern Munich. We managed two but couldn’t get that final goal to see us through. We return to the same ground tonight needing at least two goals to give us a chance…. And of course, […]
Morning all. Well who would have thought that eh? Having beaten Man City last season in the final of the FA Cup, Wigan only went and did it again yesterday in the semi-final. I have to say they thoroughly deserved it too, at 2-0 they were cruising and despite City clawing one back through a […]
Morning all. Soft penalty says Martinez, dead cert says Peter Reid, an Everton man…. I’m not sure you’d find one more clear cut and and easy for Mark Clattenburg to give than Barry’s foul on Oxlade-Chamberlain… Lucky say the pundits, pointing to a couple of misses by Barkley when the scores were 1-1… Don’t you […]
Morning all. Greg Dyke, Chairman of the FA has had this to say about the lack of young English players in the top league: It comes down to two basic arguments, the Arsene Wenger argument which says your boys are just not good enough and the other says they are, but there’s a blockage. There […]
Morning all. Having snapped up the signing of Nemanja Vidic, Inter Milan want to make Lukas Podolski their second signing in the summer. The Mirror report that Arsenal want to recoup much of the £11 million we paid for him. Not only do they seem to want our striker, well, winger under Wenger, they want […]
Morning all. Why is it that some players at Arsenal contracts or maybe even players aren’t managed well enough? Edu, Andrei Arshavin, Nicklas Bendtner and even Lukas Podoski are just a few who spring to mind yet I know all of you could probably name more, many more. Edu was a wonderful player who joined […]
Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it. Regardless of all the ‘big named’ players in our club, it’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who has won the February Player of the Month award. Utterly deserved too imho and he battered the rest of the team by notching up 46% of fans votes on Afc.com. Laurent […]
Morning all. Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed he won’t be staying beyond his current contract: I’m not going to stay at Arsenal – first team football is what I’m after. The plan is for me to move on. I’m ready for a new challenge. I’m sure he knew before he was off but when a young […]
Morning all…. No, not David, it’s his and Victoria’s boys. Romeo who is ten years old and a huge Arsenal fan has been playing for the club’s under-11s team for the past few months and now their youngest, Cruz has joined in by playing with the under-9s team. A source close to the club said: It is already […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game yesterday and having read supporters views on the match, I’m not going to bother watching any re-run either. From the initial team selection the same old thoughts came into my mind. Where is the pace, who will take the responsibility of running at their defence or make the […]
Morning all. Some good news to kick off with about Bacary Sagna: I love Arsenal, I love playing for Arsenal, I love my team. Arsenal is the most followed team in France and I remember I used to watch them when I was in France so it was a pleasure to play for them, so […]
