Match fixing. Thirteen away, No Diaby & a posh new site……

Morning Gooners, Reading the papers brings such good news doesn’t it? The stories about match fixing only confirms what I have always believed to be true, as long as you believe what is written of course. One story in particular relates to an old Champions League match between Liverpool and Hungarian side Debreken. Debreken’s goalkeeper, […]

Foy, Pullis & Shawcross. Their shocking performances couldn't deprive us of a deserved three points…

Morning all. Let’s open with a comment from Tony Pullis after the game: The disappointing thing for me was the number of Arsenal players that surrounded the linesman. I thought that was something you couldn’t do. If he has given the right decision, he has given the right decision. You take it on the chin and […]

Monreal debut. Time to gel, time to play and time to give the fans something to cheer…..

Morning all, Well this is it folks, this is the squad we have until the summer. Diaby is fit, Arteta is back in the squad for today’s game and of course, Fabianski is almost ready to return. Coquelin is also very close to returning but Gibbs, well his return is like a open flight ticket. […]

Giroud is better than some of the best & Monreal could give the squad the boost it needs….

Morning all, In his first season of course! Thought it would brighten the mood after what can only be described as an underwhelming transfer window. Someone called ‘steve gooner moore’ posted on twitter yesterday that in their first season in the PL:- Drogba made 41 appearances, scored 16 goals and had 5 assists. Bergkamp: 41 appearances, 16 […]

Diaby games? Defender could sign today, but then again, I bet one doesn't!

Morning all, Surprised by the omission of Diaby? I was but I guess had Diaby started and got injured, Wenger probably knows he’d have to sign a replacement on transfer deadline day. Or am I just being far too cynical? We were undone. Not by skill, not by wonderful football and not by anything other […]

Cazorla suffers problem in training. Villa deal takes a turn for the worse & beware of the wounded….

Morning all, A ‘light’ post this morning, well the start of it….. Just what is Santi up to and why is David Beckham laughing so much? Wouldn’t you love to know? Whatever his problem, it didn’t go away! And nor will the rest of the problems go away by the sound of it. According to […]

Dutch gem on his way in? Eisfeld out & the David Villa story gathers pace………

Morning all, Well here’s some transfer news to wet the whistle! Adam Maher is his name, he’s 19 years old and he’s Dutch. Well, he plays for Holland now but was born in Morocco. Alkmaar are aware that one day a ‘big club’ will come and sign their youngster but they would rather it wasn’t yet. […]

Sign the Leeds defence Arsene!! Or simply sign a defender who can defend!

Morning all, Having watched on as the results from the FA Cup came in yesterday, it made me realise that we’d actually earned a good result against Brighton. Leeds showed Tottenham the way home, Oldham did the same to Liverpool and but for a very late goal from Torres, Chelsea would have been dumped out […]
