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 […]

[…]
Morning all, Firstly, according to The Metro, Wenger has confirmed he won’t be spending big despite the money coming in from the new Emirates deal!! If we get that amount of money from sponsors it is not charity, it is because the sponsors feel that we act in the right way and with the right values. […]
And no I don’t mean: Caribbean, Mauritius, Devon or somewhere in the Dominican Republic, I mean where would you like to see our club be in the Premier League after our final fixture of 2012 which is against Newcastle at The Emirates? Let’s be realistic though, as much as we’d all like us to be sat at the top, it […]
A few comments from the manager after the Aston Villa game which were directed at the idiots with a microphone: What is the thinking behind the substitution? I will not explain every decision I make. I have managed for 30 years at the top level and I have to convince you journalists I can manage […]
Few bits of gossip this morning before yesterday’s match review. The Mail on Sunday reckon we are going to make a shock £10 million move for Liverpool’s out-of-favour winger Stewart Downing. Well if that happens, I think every Arsenal fan will be in more than shock. He was well over priced at £20 million, and […]
Yesterday the news broke that Arsenal football club had signed a new £150m deal with the Emirates airline, extending its shirt sponsorship to 2019. The naming rights to the stadium have also been extended to 2028 as part of the deal. This will bring in £30m a season to the club and the deal is […]
