Respect Southampton but no room for sympathy or nostalgia…….

Morning Gooners, Finally, the proper football is back! Arsenal news: Wojciech Szczesny is available again following a rib injury and Theo Walcott will be assessed before a final decision is made, but he was training with the squad yesterday, so he should be fine and as we all know, Abou Diaby is a doubt because of  a hip […]

Waving goodbye to Colin Lewin. Players should leave if they aren't happy & Frimpong fit, ready and looking good……

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 […]

A reason to be cheerful as Arsene Wenger set to be offered a new contract, but will he sign it?

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 […]

Wenger wants Drogba & Juve want Theo! Diaby hope & Santi Cazorla gets Player of the Month

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 […]

Diaby out, Theo sick & Is Sagna fearing for his place in the side?

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 […]

Could Summer talks see January signings?

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 […]

Arsene Wenger – He's not that bad is he, even though his job is easy…….

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 […]

Sagna wanting City move? A few proving the doubters wrong….

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 […]

Belgian on trial, Arshavin could be off & Arsenal making up the numbers!

Morning Gooners, Details of the Premier League and Champions League squad are out. Premier League Each club have to name a squad containing no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the home-grown player criteria, the remainder must be home-grown. Clubs can name up to 25 squad members, not including under-21 players. Premier League […]

So we didn't play that well then, the opposition were just poor! What Rubbish!

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 […]
