Injury Update Carl Jenkinson is having a scan today but Wenger has pretty much ruled him out for Stoke, Gibbs, Vermaelen and Diaby are all two weeks away from a return. When Thomas Vermaelen is fit and ready to play, what will Wenger do with him? Slot him straight back into the defence and move […]

Morning Gooners… Top of the Group and a well-earned three points in The Stade Velodrome, a stadium known for possessing one of Europe’s most partisan atmospheres. The stadium is under construction ahead of the 2016 Euro’s but despite one of the stands being empty, it was still noisy. 1,400 of our loyal fans were in […]
Well, what a boost for every Arsenal yesterday when afc.com announced that Thomas Vermaelen signed a new long-term contract, now all we need is for van Persie, Walcott and Sagna to follow suit. Robin van Persie however, feels that Thomas could do so much better, not on the football front though, he’s referring to his […]
According to Jack Colback of Sunderland, we are the best he’s faced this season and one of those sides is Chelsea. Obviously we played Chelsea at home but I don’t think they move it around as quick as Arsenal they make the pitch really big and they’re constantly rotating so you don’t really get a […]
This wasn’t a pretty performance, but our players delivered a win – one that brought us up into tenth place at the conclusion of this weekend’s play. They overcame a moment of madness from our ‘keeper, a sensational equalizer from opponents who had literally, just one sniff until the moment they scored, another injury, and […]
Ok, let’s start with the team news – defenders Johan Djourou and Laurent Koscielny both return after injury as does Squillaci! Mind you, I hope the last of those three has no need to feature today. Actually, make that any day… 😉 We all know the players who are injured but thankfully, two of them […]
Spot On Arsene, let’s stop thinking about the end of the season and whether we can win the league or not, whether we can win any of the cup competitions or not or indeed whether we can even make it into the top four. Let’s just focus on the next game, then the next and […]
It was confirmed yesterday that Nicklas Bendtner is not permitted to face us on Sunday which I think is a massive relief to all of us, we all know he’d be up for this game, out to show Wenger how good he is… There would be nothing worse than seeing him score against us, especially […]
For the pedantic out there, of course I know that Alisher Usmanov is in fact from Uzbek, but these days he is referred to as being a Russian businessman, so for me, he’s Russian…. 😉 The other Russian is our own Andrey Arshavin, he too made the news yesterday…. First up though and possibly the […]
Morning all, As a regular blogger I sometimes get carried away. Like you, I read peoples posts and comments and if you have strong views on some things like I have, you sometimes put your foot in your mouth and trust me; I have done that on more than one occasion. I have criticised other […]
We’ve battered Wenger; we’ve battered Kroenke, now its van Persie’s turn! Over the last few weeks, months, maybe even a few years, Arsene Wenger has been on the receiving end of a few damning comments – actually, reading around the blog world, some have been absolute gutter, not something I condone in all honesty. It’s […]
I read this story yesterday and I know it’s done the rounds but not here, yet…. One Season Ticket holder, believed to be in the ArsenalAFCnotPLC group, spoke about this season and our worst start for many and said: Put simply it is not good enough for Arsenal. We are on a downward spiral and […]
