Usmanov talks about Arsenal, Left back 'heavily tipped' to join us & Champions League Draw today…

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 […]

Arsenal open talks with Walcott and Huntelaar & Five new contracts set to be announced…….

Morning Gooners, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Carl Jenkinson, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey, all five are expected to sign new contracts within days.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way…….

‘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. They were superb yet again, they didn’t give up for the entire match… The night belonged to Santi Cazorla who bagged his first hat-trick for Arsenal. Lukas Podolski gave us the lead […]

Should we trust Jack Wilshere? Time to players to stand up and be counted………

Wenger staying and will be spending & Is there more to losing players each year than we all know?

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 […]

Most Arsenal fans got what they wanted last night. Embarrassing? No, more like humiliating…..

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 […]

Wenger taking Div 4 side seriously but injuries stacking up…..

Are you ready to Rock n’ Roll Gooners? Because it’s back, yes, It’s the League Cup again tonight and on the menu are Bradford City, a team that Arsenal have never faced in this competition. In fact, the Bantam’s are a club who Arsenal have faced on very few occasions and only ever in three previous cup-ties which were […]
