What is it that makes some fans think they are right? It’s all well and good to have hunches and our own views on what we ‘think might happen’ but suggesting that any individual view is factual sometimes baffles me. Robin is doing this, that or the other, well, just like all those media buffoons […]

Here we go again then, all last summer we heard that Bendtner was in talks with hundreds of clubs regarding a move away from Arsenal. That move failed to materialise and after reading stories from his father, who was then his agent, only to end up on loan at Sunderland must have been a bit […]
Lukasz Podolski is signed and sealed. Olivier Giroud will complete his transfer to N.5 after France exit the Euro’s. Wenger said on French TV station TF1: Giroud didn’t play much (at the Euros so far), but he’s going to be an Arsenal player 90% next season. I think he has exceptional potential and will […]
Before we head off into todays post, FootballFancast.com reported than Yann M’Vilas move to another club will be confirmed after Euro 2012 and it has already been announced on the French stock market by the player’s club Rennes. Where that is, is anyones guess but Bayern Munich have allegedly withdrawn their interest in the player. […]
Part 1 – Rinus Michels’ Circulation Football. Arsene Wenger had nurtured and rebuild since 2006/07 season with “Total Football” as their main style. After 5 years, the 2011/12 team is expected to begin to master what Rinus Michels called ‘ball circulation’ something not many teams can do. This article is an extract from that section […]
Yesterday afternoon, news in France leaked that Arsenal had agreed a deal with French champions Montpellier for their 6ft 3in French international, Olivier Giroud. Not wholeheartedly believing this story as it is too similar to the one that broke a while back about Yann M’Vila, I had a little read around in the ‘blog world’. […]
Holland and Denmark are the latest sides to be knocked out of The Euros, so Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner are gone, home today I suspect. The good news for us is that both players, who have said they will sort their futures out after this competition, can now get on and do exactly […]
Rumours are gathering pace that newly appointed Swansea manager Michael Laudrup wants to sign fellow Dane, Nicklas Bendtner. That has to be good news for all concerned, Nik wants to stay in England but doesn’t want to stay with us and no doubt Swansea could do with a big strong centre forward to help them […]
No Giroud for Borussia Monchengladbach, they have had second thoughts about trying to sign him as they know they can’t compete with us when it comes to wages etc, so it seems it’s just us in the race to secure his services. Surely we can’t muck it up can we? Ok, he didn’t shine last […]
Ever since The Invincibles started to leave in dribs and drabs and were replaced with, what we perceive to have been very average players bar a few, Arsene Wenger has been on the end of quite a few critical, damning and sometimes quite vile comments. He’s been accused of being tight, lining his own pocket, […]
Not a lot of news to report today, other than the BBC have picked up on the Giroud story and suggest his signing will be announced soon, well let’s hope so but until we see something on afc.com, it’s just another rumour. Robin van Persie and is Dutch International team-mates are of the brink of […]
Don’t you just love him? He’s taken to this International Football like a fish to water. 😉 Despite all the rumours about Johan Djourou moving to Italy, he has denied this story and has committed his future to Arsenal. Not sure what to make of that one.. Onto todays post: Arsenal blogs all over the […]
