So, same old same old for our side last night, lots of the ball, yet not once could we hit the back of the net. The first quarter of an hour was all us and we came close when Robin had a header cleared off the line and our striker nearly turned provider when he […]

Morning Gooners, Arsene Wenger was true to his word, he said he would not be partaking in this January’s transfer market and didn’t. He made a deal for a young lad of eighteen from Dortmund but as he is yet to play first team football for any club so no doubt he won’t for us […]
Just a short post today as there is little to no news relating to OUR club. We know what day it is, it’s Deadline Day and I strongly suspect most football fans will be wondering if their club will make a move today on what is their final chance to bag a bargain. I don’t […]
Snippet on Ryo from Wenger: I will have a chat with him tomorrow and I have a little plan. Oxlade-Chamberlain plays on the flanks now too, so if I can find an opportunity for him to play somewhere I will decide whether to do that tomorrow. It will have to be in England because he […]
Arsene Wenger has made two statements this week, one in which he maintains that the FA Cup is very important to Arsenal and the second is that the Premier League remains his priority. So on the back of that it’s decision day, who does he pick, a full strength squad, or does he use this […]
I don’t get this – Bacary Sagna, one of the best right backs in the Premier League, a player who is just returning after suffering a leg break is the reason give by Arsene Wenger for not buying a left back! Sheet, let the guy come back and play where he is best, not stick […]
Having had the good news yesterday about Sagna’s return to training, reports are going around that Jack Wilshere has suffered a stress fracture and now won’t be back until April! There is nothing to confirm this on afc.com but there wouldn’t be would there, not until the transfer window is shut, otherwise the club would […]
The usual gossip mongers were out in force yesterday and two I read related to the above players. Suggestions are that we have made bids for both. Another I read related to Everton’s Baines, Wenger has shown interest but the two clubs are apart on the fee, in other words Wenger has offered a tenner […]
Six days to go before we can expect some action from Arsenal Football Club, Arsene Wenger, Ivan Gazidis and his team of transfer negotiators. It’s becoming a bit of an annual event for Arsenal, we wait until the last day of a transfer window before trying to push through some business and I strongly suspect […]
Most clubs come to The Emirates these days with great believe that they will beat us and to be honest, why shouldn’t they? Arsene Wenger perseveres with the likes of Arshavin, Djourou, Chamakh, Diaby, Squillaci, but in all honesty every Arsenal supporter and spectator realised they should have been gone a while ago now and […]
The early season thrashing 8-2 thrashing at Old Trafford seems almost a few seasons ago, as much has changed in the succeeding months. We strengthened the squad right before the end of the summer transfer window and steadily climbed the table, to where we finished calendar year 2011 in fourth place. Since the beginning of […]
Just a bit of fun to start, Ashley Cole has been asked to name his all time eleven during his playing days and here it is: TEAM (4-4-2): Seaman; Lauren, Adams, Campbell Cole; Sturridge, Vieira, Gerrard, Pires; Bergkamp, Henry. Just one Chav, other than him….. 🙂 Our French master has come out with yet another […]
