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 […]
We have all been wondering what to make of the absence of Andrey Arshavin, when was the last time he started a match? Over the last few weeks he hasn’t even made it onto the pitch from the bench either but today could see his return which suggests Wenger could rotate a little tonight. Talking […]
Ok, it’s Friday and after our fantastic victory on Wednesday night, I thought just a bit of fun today. Ex Spurs manager, Martin Jol brings his Fulham side to The Emirates tomorrow for another evening kick off. Jol has never managed a league victory against us I think in all his time of managing our […]
After what feels like an eternity, we were back into Champions League action, with our home tie versus Bundesliga title-holders Borussia Dortmund. We opened this group phase with a credible 1-1 on their ground back in mid-September, and going one better would send us into the knockout stages, with the possibility of winning the group […]
The Championsss……… That is the ending note of the Champions League tune that has always given me the chills. After that the stone faced players know that its down to business and not against just any pub team, it’s always against a top team. We face Borussia Dortmund who like us have staged a miraculous […]
