Morning Gooners, Following on from yesterdays post when I suggested that certain players should be sold, I write todays with some idea’s on resting players. Personally speaking and looking back on my own experience of playing local football, the thought of resting players when they are firing on all cylinders goes against the grain but […]

Morning Gooners, The difference to this week from last week is we are now not the only English team through to the last sixteen of the Champions League. We were leading our Group with no defeats but now we have just suffered our first and against inferior opposition. Paul Merson stated on television that had […]
Apparently the Chavs are having a clear out and will be looking to bring in new talent in January and Vargas, who has been linked with us recently is top of their shopping list. Well, I’m sure the striker from Chile will be watching on tonight because if the Chavs fail to win or get […]
It didn’t seem that long ago that everything appeared to be wrong with our club, and yes, I wrote many a post moaning about it…. We’d move to The Emirates, players started to be sold and seldom were they replaced, even if they were replaced, too often they appeared to be very poor substitutes. We […]
After a good, albeit losing, performance by our reserves and kids in the midweek Carling Cup tie against Man City, it was back to league business with a trip up to the DW, to take on bottom three side Wigan Athletic in search of our third consecutive away league victory. While we have generally handled […]
Wenger is reported to have said: At the moment, I do nothing in January, I have a big squad, but if you knock at my door and say, I have a fantastic player for you’ I will not turn it down. Knock Knock Arsene…… Wigan today then and it’s another much-needed away win…… Straight on […]
Morning Gooners, So, we are now one down with three to go, competitions that is as if you didn’t know. Out of the Carling Cup at the hands of Manchester City, who just so happen to be the leaders of the Premier League. As far as the game went, we handled ourselves quite well, animosity […]
According to The Daily Mail Juventus are lining up Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale, in the deal for Theo they are willing to offer Milos Krasic in part-exchange, well they can want all they like, this just won’t happen! Lille striker Moussa Sow, a name we have all seen written in connection with us before […]
We know that many of our first team players are in the proverbial “red” and need a break. We also know that the Carling Cup is low on the list of priorities. Arsene made a point stressing the first aspect following our weekend 1-1 versus Fulham, so changes were certainly expected. Just how many changes […]
I don’t condone violence in the game we all love, however if we get into the last second of extra time tonight with the score at 1-0 and one of our fringe players can hoof him into row z, I’d be quite happy! As long as he takes the ball first of course! 😉 I […]
Before anything else and I know we all talked about it yesterday but, the world of football truly lost a really nice guy in Gary Speed, may he find peace and may his family and friends find strength as they try to come to terms with such a loss. Ok, onto the post….. First up […]
It isn’t the first let-down we have had following a big mid-week result, and it certainly won’t be the last. Having won our Champions League group and qualified for the knockout stages a few days ago, this match – at home against one of the lower-half sides – was an opportunity to rotate a few […]
