Morning all. As usual, there is no concrete transfer news to write about. The Daily Mirror suggest that Ivan Gazidis was doing all he can last night to thrash out a deal for German wonderkid Julian Draxler. Schalke want £60 million for the £19 year old. We are willing to go to £40m. £40 million is […]

Morning all. So the man who stitched up Arsene Wenger back in 2008 is back at Arsenal having signed for a second time yesterday. No Arsenal fan would have been surprised by the news about Mathieu Flamini. It feels good to be back home. I have some unfinished business with Arsenal so it’s a great […]
Morning all.. So another day passes us by without change. We still sit at the bottom of the ‘summer signings’ list having spent a big fat zero pounds…. Will today be the day that changes? Somehow I doubt it but I can only hope like the rest…… Apparently we have been interested in signing Ozil, […]
Morning all. So that is that done and dusted, a 2-0 victory last night, giving us a 5-0 result overall, secured our place in tomorrows Champions League draw but it came at a price: That is the negative of the evening. We paid a heavy price on the injury front as we lost Podolski. I don’t know […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been talking yet again about transfers: We have to be discreet. But we work very hard on it. There’s no fixed date on transfers. We don’t have a fixed number we want, the most important is to focus on our own squad. If I add someone, it has to be […]
Morning all. Gossip to start with and then Steve’s post… Reports in The Daily Mirror suggest that Yohan Cabaye’s representatives were in London last night to discuss a £16m deal. Apparently Joe Kinnear has said “We’ve told Arsenal our terms, the ball is in their court’. Other reports suggest that Newcastle want £20 million for their player […]
Morning all, 3-0 and cruising, Darren Bent came on and pulled one back for Fulham – why oh why did I get so nervous? There was still thirteen minutes of normal time left and I feared the worst. Crazy isn’t it but I guess that over the last couple of seasons, we have conceded so […]
Morning all. Talking about the 2011 trolley dash, the manager said: At that time it was linked with injuries, we had unexpected long-term injuries and you cannot sit there and do nothing at all. If you have unexpected injuries you have to do something about it. We are not in need of numbers like we […]
Morning all. So the transfer rumours went silly yesterday when someone suggested that Tottenham are interested in signing Lukas Podolski. For anyone who thinks he would make that move, let me just remind you of what he said not that long ago about the North London club. Q – Describe Spurs in one word? A […]
Morning all, I’m pretty sure that had Laurent Koscielny put his boot up to stop a forward and kick him in the head, he’d have seen a straight red card! Pierre Webo should have been off in my opinion but it was our defender who had to depart. A few stitches and then a trip […]
Morning all, Where does the time go? Three years ago today, Highbury House was born………. I would just like to reiterate to you that in the last 16 years we have been very successful with transfers. A squad has to have the right number. Not enough players is not good. Too many players and there […]
