Morning all, Arsene Wenger had to answer questions about Theo Walcott yet again yesterday, is he staying or is he going and the answer to the latter was: No, that is for sure. My gut feeling is that he belongs to this club and that I hope he will sign for us. I always am […]
According to the local newspaper in Southampton, Luke Shaw is “heavily tipped” to leave the club in January and his expected destination is Arsenal. This story has been rumbling since the summer and it wouldn’t surprise me if this turn out to be true. Having just tied down five British players to long-term contracts, Wenger seems keen […]
Morning Gooners, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Carl Jenkinson, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey, all five are expected to sign new contracts within days.

‘Oh what fun it is to see, Arsenal win away………’ That’s what the Arsenal fans were merrily singing as the game came to an end last night.

So in the blue corner, we have Stewart Robson – who came through the Arsenal youth system and played at Highbury from 1981 to 1986 but supports West Ham. He’s recently branded Wenger ‘a dictator in many ways’ and claimed that there was a growing rift between the manager and his assistant Steve Bould. He’s […]
So Arsene Wenger is going nowhere, despite all that has been going wrong and according to Ivan Gazidis, he will have money to waste spend again in January. Apparently Stan Kroenke, who understands everything about the current game and it’s on-field tactics, believes our manager is the right one to take our club back to the top. Arsene […]
Many Arsenal fans, myself in included, wanted Arsene Wenger to take the Capital One Cup seriously and he did. Could he really have fielded a much stronger starting eleven? (on paper and injuries allowing) Maybe a few of us would say Arteta should have started, or Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right instead of Ramsey and maybe then Ramsey […]
