There is all sorts of stuff in the football news, the Chelsea goal that never was, the Ashley Young impression of Tom Daley, again! Gary Neville and Arsene Wenger are blaming the foreign players for showing their English counterparts the way to win free-kicks and penalties and our own manager is in favour of any […]

Peter Hill-Wood has been rambling again, this time about Arsene Wenger: For him to stay longer than that would be perfect. I can’t think of anybody better to run the team. He has shown how much rubbish people were talking earlier this season. We had a terrible run of injuries and that obviously had an […]
If we are to believe the newspapers and Arsenal blogs, Montpelliers Younes Belhanda is set to sign for us in the summer and the red herring all along has been Giroud. Like Allezkev said yesterday, we all love a rumour…. Anyway.. Arsene Wenger was in good spirits yesterday in his pre-match interview, he was asked […]
I know this is a blog for Gooners but what has taken place at Liverpool is quite strange. The club is going through a torrid time, the owners believe that the reason is the ‘average’ signings made in the summer so they have sacked Damien Comolli, the man who secured those deals. Kenny Dalglish though […]
This is how we lined up: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Benayoun, Walcott, Van Persie. Substitutes: Fabianski, Squillaci, Jenkinson, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Park. Three minutes on the clock and Robin had our first chance but his shot was saved by Hennessey in the Wolves goal. Then, with just eight minutes gone, Bassong […]
Today’s gossip from the papers: Clint Dempsey’s name is again linked with us, apparently our scouts have been keeping an eye on him since January and Arsene has been told he’d be the perfect fit in our squad. Another linked to us is attacking midfielder Stephan El Shaarawy of AC Milan. That story comes from […]
Morning Gooners, The headline must have caught your eye and I hope you don’t think I have hoodwinked you into reading but I have to put my views over to you as I find this very important. A British pensioner who has worked 50 years and paid their taxes and National insurance retires with a […]
What a game, what a result eh? We lined up with the same starting eleven that battered Tottenham Hotspur, a good omen? As the game got underway, early touches by Clichy were greeted with jeers from our home fans, somewhat surprising I thought, especially as many fans were glad to see the back of him […]
Morning Gooners, Happy Easter to you all…. Big one today against Manchester City, a side which many are calling them the team from Abu Dhabi but I like to look at it differently. Just because a team has rich financial backers who are not afraid to put their money where their mouths are, that shouldn’t […]
One of the biggest ‘Arsenal Marmite’ players over the last few seasons could do himself and his ‘real’ club some good today! In fact, if he and his team-mates secure Sunderland a victory today against the Totts, Nik could very well be back in the Arsenal fans good books too, now that would be something. […]
Good Friday, the sun is shining and it’s a holiday in many parts of the world so that’s a good enough reason to be happy. Another reason is Diaby, he’s out to repay the faith that his manager and fans have in him: I just need to carry on and stay focused every day in […]
Chelsea squeezed past ten man Benfica last night in the Champions League, good for them I say and good for us! Their next fixture in the competition is against Barcelona in the semi-final. Two legs of course and I think I’m right in saying that our league fixture sits the weekend between the two fixtures. […]
