Morning all, Snippets first up: According to The Daily Mirror, Arsene Wenger has added midfielder Luis Gustavo to his wanted list for next month’s transfer window. The 6′ 2″ Brazilian defensive midfielder/centre back is reported to be anxious for a move away from Bayern Munich. He only joined them in 2011 so unless he’s really unhappy, I can’t see […]
Morning all, Got to love them: Sources have told Goal.com that the clause is “close to £4 million”, a sum that Wenger regards as good value. Mohamed Diame is the player and he is reported to have a get out clause of £4.5 million in his contract. Right now he would be a fantastic addition […]
Morning all. Tomas Rosicky played a huge part in us ending up 3rd in the Premier League last season and to be honest, we have seriously missed what he brings to our side so far this campaign. On Tuesday we witnessed his ability to finish, unlike so many around him that night and we saw […]
Gossip to start with and that surrounds Bacary Sagna. News in the papers today suggest that the club have offered him £60,000 a week and a year extension to his current contract. To which he has apparently said thanks, but no thanks. His current deal ends in the summer of 2014 so no doubt he […]

Morning Gooners, After the Sun reported yesterday that Demba Ba has refused a new contract offer from Newcastle, the same paper has suggested that Wenger is ready to offer £7.5 Million for him. No, that’s not him being tight for once, that’s the players ‘get out’ clause in his current contract. The Daily Mail however, […]
Bertie Mee was the manager of Arsenal when I graduated from the odd Reserve game alongside my Father, into the Arsenal nut that I still am today, so I have seen the demise of many an Arsenal manager, not least the afore mentioned Bertie Mee.. Bertie’s was a sad decline into mediocrity. A proud man with high […]
It was all going to start in December he said…. We’d make our home advantage count he said….. Well neither happened yesterday did it? We were outplayed by a style of football we once watched OUR club play and well beaten by two goals from a bargain £2 million Spanish signing, the type of player […]
No other place to start really, other than the BSM pre-match march which begins at 1.30pm at the Bear Roundabout’ outside The Armoury. For anyone who still doesn’t know what it’s all about, there is a link here. We all have our own view about whether it’s right or wrong to be airing the clubs dirty […]
He’s also spoken about the bumped and bruised ahead of Saturdays’ game against Swansea and apparently there are quite a few. The only serious one though was to Laurent Koscielny and he’s now out for three weeks at least with a muscular problem in his thigh. Bacary Sagna also took a bit of a knock […]
