Morning Gooners, Recovering from a serious injury or a raft of niggling, confidence sapping injuries, is not an exact science. Some players return as good as new. Others suffer deep psychological damage, from which they never fully recover. Eduardo is the classic example, he was lucky to still have two legs and be able to […]
As time ticks by each season we all discuss players contracts. Who does and does not, in our own view, deserve to stay and not surprisingly those views differ very often. Players like Walcott, Djourou, Ramsey, Jenkinson, Fabianski, Mannone, Chamakh etc are all names that pop up very often and cause divide amongst us, in opinion […]
Morning all, We all know that no matter what any player actually says during an interview, the anti Arsenal journalists will so often give their words a little tweak or print only the negative answers, usually ignoring anything positive. Arsene Wenger goes through a rough time too when facing the press and it does really […]
Well it didn’t take long did it, three games into the Premier League, one for France and Abou Diaby is injured and will miss tonights World Cup qualifier for his country. Didier Deschamps has revealed a muscular problem is then reason our midfield man will miss the fixture against Belarus. Diaby took a bad shot […]
Morning Gooners, I want to talk about some of the things I have read in Houser’s comments, well one in particular. ‘ No one player/person is bigger than the club’ I have used this expression before myself and but I’m starting to think about its merits. Many times I have read that statement and many […]
I don’t want to go on about the January transfer window, crikey, the summer one has only just closed but during the last few months, three players at least have suggested that Arsenal were interested in signing them. First up is Cheikhou Kouyate, the Senegalese defender who plays for Anderlecht. He maintains that had his clubs […]
Morning Gooners, I have in the past praised Wenger for what he has done for Arsenal Football Club, but many supporters have different views and don’t want him to lead our club. That’s fine though isn’t it, we wouldn’t all want to be the same would we and the lack of trophies in our cabinet […]
During the summer, a common theme among many fans seemed to be that they wanted a new left-back as ours needed strengthening. Neither Kieran Gibbs or Andre Santos were deemed good enough. A similar stance was also taken when the names Carl Jenkinson and Per Mertesacker were brought up, both were considered to be no more than just […]
You would think not, but he’s up for the fight to do so. Credit where credit is due, Vito Mannone has made a few pretty good saves in our opening three fixtures and as much as we are all praising the hard work put in by Steve Bould, Neil Banfield and the defenders for not […]

Morning Gooners, Everything has been said about our game on Sunday against Liverpool and you don’t need me to tell you the scoreline or the scorers for that matter. Just like every other Arsenal fan, I thought reading the papers would be something to relish for once. However! All the lazy journalists wanted to report […]
