David Villa still linked, Theo Walcott contract talks & the OUT list is growing….

Morning all. I know we shouldn’t believe all that is written but…. We can hope that some of its true can’t we? In this case, its newspaper talk about Andrey Arshavin, Marouane Chamakh, and Johan Djourou. Suggestion is that the little Russian has rejected all advances made by Reading and instead he could head off […]

Wenger admits we were rubbish……

Morning all…. Something happened overnight, the gremlins popped into my laptop and stole the match report. Either that, or I failed to hit the ‘save’ button. I know which is more likely and it’s definitely gremlins.. Gone! Normal service resumed tomorrow I hope…. Arsene Wenger has had this to say: We were not very good offensively, we didn’t create […]

A 'Wee Northern Side' visit & reports suggest THREE new signings in January..

Morning all. Pat Rice has been awarded an MBE in the Queens New Years Honours List and Wenger is thrilled:  I am absolutely delighted because if someone deserves it, it’s Pat Rice.

Well, I’m not one to wish an injury on many any of our […]

Chamakh shocker & Wenger confirms that three out of four will have been signed young…

Morning all, Marouane Chamakh has been dropped by his country for the African Cup of Nations. It’s obvious he’s been dropped because he’s crap not been playing regular football for us, so hopefully that will give him a jolt in the doo dahs and make him realise he needs to find another club, play regular football and […]

Not Good Enough says Wenger & Jack's wish for Christmas…..

Morning all, Christmas Eve is here, just when did that spring up on us all……… Third place didn’t last long did it, certainly  not after Chelsea battered Aston Villa 8-0. Somehow, and maybe with a little help from other sides, we have managed to get ourselves up the table and into the top four. Now we […]

Clause in Emirates deal will put the pressure on & another 3 points scraped….

It took a soft penalty decision awarded to us and a couple turned down for Wigan to get all three points but right now, do we honestly care? Walcott didn’t dive, he just stumbled over after being gently caught from behind and as for the Wigan claims for handball, well blame the ref for that. Just as […]
