Morning all.. It’s Bank Holiday here in the UK and the sun is shining – nice! Lukas Podolski seems to be one of many Arsenal players who divides fans. Personally, I like him. Yes he can go missing in games, we have a few like that but for his first season in a more physical […]

Morning all, Ok, there was a final last night, but today there is a more important one. The ladies face Bristol Academy at 3pm UK time. It takes place at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium and it’s live on television thanks to BB2. The game between the two sides is a repeat of the 2011 FA Cup […]
Morning all, Two old boys have been giving their view on Arsenal. Lately Arsenal have become very solid and Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker have gained a confidence together, but defensively I think they are still short – I’d like to see them sign another centre-back, a couple of full-backs and possibly a keeper. The […]
Morning all, Christian Benteke wants a move to us in the summer: There is no point in me getting into a tug-of-war with Villa, and I don’t think there is any need for one. If the chance comes up for me to join a club like Arsenal, I am convinced that we can reach a […]
Morning all, Football seems miles away right now, it has since the news broke yesterday afternoon about how a soldier was brutally murdered by two black males in South East London. Going about his day peacefully and proudly wearing his Help for Heroes t-shirt one minute, he was savagely attacked just 200 yards from his barracks […]
Morning all, No doubt you have all read the comments by Yaya Sanogo who yesterday confirmed that he’s heading to Arsenal next season. Arsenal could be a great club for me, I scored nine goals this season with Auxerre and they think I can improve my level in England. I am pleased to be following in […]
Morning all, Couple of snippets from The Daily Express, Mark Schwarzer has not been offered a new deal by Fulham and unless that changes, he’s available for free this summer. We all know Arsene Wenger tried to sign him, will he try again now he’s free? Is 40 years old just a bit too old? Staying […]
Morning all, I spotted this on NewsNow yesterday and had to share, just in case you missed it. Gervinho is reported to be off to Lyon in the summer for €14 million, have a read here. Actually, how we didn’t finish up yesterday laughing at ourselves I don’t know. As a unit I thought we […]
Morning all, So here we are, last day of the season – a season which has been very mixed. Some moments of brilliant football, albeit those moments mostly came against clubs who were either placed below us in the league or had been reduced to ten men. We played a good half against both Manchester […]
Morning all, Getting nervous yet? Me too…. Forget the Rooney rumours, if of course you gave them much thought in the first place: At the moment we have no interest in anybody. We have only one interest, which is of course Sunday’s game. I don’t know if Man United will sell Rooney and that is […]
Morning all, The main football headlines are about David Beckham retiring at the end of the season. He’s been a super player, a fine gentleman and one of a small number who can say he always gave 100% for his country, both on and off the field… I truly wish him and his family the […]
Morning Gooners, First up is the gossip. According to L’Equipe, German side Schalke are close to agreeing a deal to take Francis Coquelin to the Bundesliga. His contract doesn’t expire until 2015 but it seems he could be getting fed up with his lack of chances in the first team. Juve are reported to have made […]
