When did we last have a summer without speculation that one of our players was about to leave – in search of silverware? We had it with Vieira, then Henry and last summer it was all about Cesc! Now of course, it’s all about Robin van Persie and it’s boring, so much so, no more […]

So, I have been giving Arsenal a lot of thought recently. The kind of thought that one can only have in the close-season when the pressure is off, so to speak. Free of the emotional influences of the last few and the next few games it is perhaps easier to put the Arsenal world to […]
Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were both named in the England squad for the Euros yesterday, giving English Arsenal fans a reason to watch what is otherwise, a very old and boring team. The Sun report that ‘tense and tetchy’ talks with Robin van Persie broke down yesterday with no agreement being found by the […]
Ever since our move to The Emirates, from the start of the season 2006/2007 we have come to expect the end of season jitters which seem to hit Arsenal from 1st March onwards. SAF calls it squeaky bum time, I prefer to call it END OF SEASON AFFECTIVE DISORDER. The time when it seems that […]
Robin Van Persie is set for talks with Arsenal today/tomorrow about his future and all sorts of financial deals are being reported to be on offer!! In the meantime, rumours coming out of Italy recently seem to precipitate the beginning of the War of Nerves that those clubs wishing to prey on Arsenal’s players indulge […]
Morning all, Just thought I would share a photo: It couldn’t have started better could it, Robin made a tackle just inside the Baggies half and the ball cannoned back towards the home side keeper Fulop – well, Fulop saw the ball heading his way and came out to meet it but instead of hoofing […]
3rd is not enough enough Stan, Ivan and Arsene… Now that Champions League is secured, go and sign the players to keep us involved in the fight for the title on the last day of the season, not just fighting for 3rd with the annoying neighbours!! COYRRG’s
Morning Gooners, OK, it might not be a day out at Wembley but I tell you it will feel like it at three o’clock this afternoon. Those are the words of Robin van Persie ahead of our final game against West Bromwich Albion, a must win if we are to secure 3rd place and with […]
Lauren Koscienly has been talking about our up and down performances, the player had serious doubts about our season after the 8-2 drubbing at Old Trafford: The beginning of the season was a catastrophe. We’d lost players who were key to our system. We recruited late, and it took a while for us to gel. […]
Morning fellow Gooners, Little titbit to start with and that’s about Borussia Dortmund playmaker Shinji Kagawa, apparently Arsene Wenger has entered the race to sign him. His value is around £5 Million as he has just one year left on his contract and he wants to move to the Premier League. Not long now until […]
The provisional International squads are being prepared for the Euro’s which take place next month, the opening fixture is on June 8th and it’s Poland v’s Greece. So far, six of our players have been named and will be heading off to Poland/Ukraine: Robin van Persie – Holland Lukas Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny – Poland […]
