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. […]
We are all fed up with dissecting the QPR game, whether Wenger should have played Ramsey on the left, the players should wear longer studs and less colourful boots and of course the, why does Chamakh even make the bench… It’s boring isn’t it? Then of course there is all the gossip from the Red […]
If Marouane Chamakh had plans on staying at Arsenal after this season ends, he’s probably just blown them! We all know Wenger does not put up with bad behaviour off the pitch and no doubt when he see’s this photograph, captured by The Daily Mail, he’ll be told to find himself another club, sharpish! Couldn’t […]
