Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it, last Tuesday we came out of the blocks like greyhounds and zipped the ball around with pace and precision, we were unstoppable. Yesterday was very different. We lacked pace, urgency and at times, it seemed interest and our passing game was all over the place. […]

Morning all. Whilst fans and media alike are raving about Mesut Ozil and his deep box of trickery, Arsene Wenger believes that Mathieu Flamini has been, and will continue to play a key part in our season: Flamini has given us a balance between attacking and defending. He is somebody who accepts doing the dark […]
Morning all. I could envision myself getting to know another culture and language. Any chance of Spain? That was a goal earlier, but that is unrealistic due to the financial crisis. So why not England? “I would be the fourth German at Arsenal, that wouldn’t be so bad. That was Bayer Leverkusen’s Gonzalo Castro talking to […]
Morning all. Jurgen Klopp will be missing from the dugout when we face Dortmund in just over a couple of weeks time. He was missing at the Marseille match but his side still romped past the French side but we are stronger than Marseille and should his side be on the back foot Klopp won’t […]
Morning all. Onto a bit of fun this morning regarding our 6′ 4″ French centre-forward. In May 2008, at an age of 21, Oliver Giroud signed up for French Ligue 2 side Tours. In his first season, he made 23 league appearances and, scoring 9 goals. In his second season, he made 38 appearances and […]
Morning all. Arsenal teenager Jack Jebb has been banned for four games for racially abusing an opponent during a Premier League Under-18 clash with Norwich in March. There was no complaint from any player, this incident was reported to the FA by the match officials. I am sure someone at the club will read him […]
Morning all. Interesting to hear the two managers speak ahead of tonights fixture, neither can praise the other high enough and to be fair, if only for events so far this season, both managers deserve such praise. Tonight is going to be the toughest test we have faced so far this season in my opinion […]
Morning all. Having had a trial with us in the summer, 18 year old Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Matt Macey could be heading to Arsenal on a permanent deal according to Dean Jones of the Sunday People. Apparently Arsene Wenger is very keen to sign the youngster and the player himself would not hesitate to sign […]
Morning all. According to reports this morning in the Daily Star, Arsene Wenger is still on the trail of Bayer Leverkusen’s Lars Bender and a £20 million bid is being planned for January. The Daily Mirror report that Per Mertesacker is set to be offered a three year contract extension. Deserved I’d say on the last […]
Morning all. So the rumours earlier this week about Aaron Ramsey suffering an thigh injury were not far off of the truth. Both he and Mathieu Flamini face late fitness tests ahead of tonights fixture. Both were training with the squad yesterday so it doesn’t look all bad. Cazorla, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Sanogo and Walcott […]
Morning all. The PL returns this weekend with another away fixture against Swansea and most, if not all of the young guns who secured our next round CO Cup match against Chelsea, will be back watching. Probably a good job too as they must be exhausted after Wednesday night but didn’t they do well. I […]
Yesterday I wrote about Arsenal’s Young Pretenders, and the promise that they have in store for us. Well at the Hawthorns yesterday evening, they duly turned up and not only showed their promise, but also their quality whilst also showing their maturity. It was not a classic, but frankly I don’t care, the ends justify […]
