Wenger eyeing the 'Next Henry', Yaya link rumoured & Jack over Nuri any day of the week…..

Ok, a bit of humour to begin with. Thierry Henry has become a father again in the last few days and it’s a boy…. Yes, you have guessed the rest! Who knows, by the time the little one is ready to play, his father may just be the Arsenal manager….. Congratulations to Thierry and his […]

Cazorla – 'The Poor Man's Fabregas'! Media, Mentality & Mediocrity

Yesterday was a nothing day in terms of Arsenal FC, however the tabloids can always make something out of nothing. The Nuri Sahin to Arsenal story has been stretched, turned around, pulled apart and stitched back together on numerous occasions, so much so its become of boring irrelevance to the press. “Who’s Wenger after anyway – he’s just […]

Taxi for Santos! Jesus Navas linked & Nuri Sahin finally set to be confirmed..

Morning Gooners, Only one place to start this morning and that’s with the news surrounding Andre Santos. Last Friday morning, our Brazilian left back displayed a little bit of erratic driving which caught the eye of the local constabulary. Instead of stopping for the boys in blue, Santos put his foot down and a bit of […]

Mexes/Bendtner swap? Sahin and M'Vila deals close? Chamakh to the Totts & Song's behaviour problems…….

Morning Gooners, Where to begin?? How about with Tottenham, suggestion is AVB want our star striker Chamakh on loan for a season! Well you wouldn’t normally want to be doing any kind of business with them but on this occasion, Arsenal fans might feel differently. However, I still believe we’d be better off selling him rather […]

Arsene Wenger confirms Sahin and Song rumours & Thomas Vermaelen ready to do his club proud…

Morning Gooners…. Well well, just after the Dutchman nearly choked trying to talk about his old club yesterday, news broke in Twitterland and on a couple of Arsenal websites that Alex Song has done a ‘Nellie the Elephant’. By that I mean he’s packed his bag and said goodbye to his team mates but he’s […]

Defender signing? Sahin deal back on, New Number Ten, New Captain and a couple of reasons to be happy….

That’s in the headlines today. Nuri Sahin was tipped to join Liverpool within the next few days on a season long loan but it seems that Arsenal have asked him to have a re-think. Alex Song appears to be on his way to Barcelona and Wenger wants Sahin to fill the void left. The player […]

Enjoy the ride Robin! Fergies money could make us even stronger, yes, stronger than them…

Just over a year ago…… Am I angry with Robin Van Persie?! Do I hate and detest him??!! Will I look forward to the visit of Man Utd, anticipating an afternoon of Robin baiting??? Well, no to all three of the above, because my over-riding feeling towards our ex-captain is one of sadness and disappointment. […]

Want Away Striker insists it's not about Money!! Barca step up chase for Alex Song & Fabianski fights back…..

Morning Gooners, Not much in the news today, well other than the Robin van Persie and Alex Song saga which I’ll get to in a minute. It looks like Nicklas Bendtner is having a panic as the transfer window ticks by and he remains an Arsenal player. The big Dane has made it quite clear […]

Another Midfielder out until October, Striker in talks, RvP deal close & The Coming Season…..

As we stand on the cusp of the new season Gooners all round the world are wondering what it holds. Most are satisfied with the players we have bought in but some cast nervous eyes at our defence in the hope that Wenger shares our feeling of disquiet, especially where the full back berths are […]
