We all know Arsene Wenger has now been with our club for fifteen years, mind you it seems like only yesterday that the unknown man arrived looking happy and relatively young-looking, for his age. 😉 We all wondered who the heck he was but it didn’t take long for us to realise David Dein had […]

Seriously, were we any worse off in midfield when Denilson played? Were we any worse off up front when Nik played? Denilson was not ever a defensive midfielder, we all know that and his true role is a creative one. He’s more of an Arteta than a Song… As for Nik, why have a tall […]
Honestly, it was not that long ago. We just recently went a decade unbeaten in league play against them, a record that lasted until early 2010, when they beat us here by an identical score as today. Since then, they have won two of the three league fixtures – including the infamous first win at […]
Well, nothing should need to be said to the Arsenal players prior to kick off, each and every one of them, regardless of whether they start or sit in the dugout should know long before kick off what this game means to Arsenal Past, Arsenal Future and certainly the Arsenal Fans of the present. This […]
So, first off, Wenger confirmed what we all suspected would happen, and that is Thomas Vermaelen has a little setback and his returned will be delayed by one or two weeks – well, no surprise really eh, we all saw that one coming didn’t we? In fact, I will be surprised if that turns out […]
Fun Day Friday….. Aren’t you just glad we don’t have players who refuse to play when asked? Ok, we had a sulky Anelka years back, an Adebayor who made it clear he wanted out to earn a better wage and Nasri for the same reason but I don’t think any of them actually refused to […]
What a night for our young Englishman, at just 18 years old he scored his first ever Champions League goal and became the youngest player ever to do so! That was possibly the brightest part of this game, other than Santos securing our victory with a second….. None of us really wanted to Alex Song […]
Two weeks ago we went to Dortmund in our Champions League opener for the season and we came away with a very hard earned point. The result was a little bit disappointing – we held on so well and for so long only to concede right at the end. It’s too early to judge how useful […]
Fergie has been talking about the fixture’s and how the so-called ‘top sides’ have theirs moved around just to suit television showing. It shows itself quite clearly because when you see the fixture lists come out now, they can pick and choose whenever they want the top teams on television. You get some ridiculous situations […]
Yep, Laura Harvey and her Gals have now won their third Cup in a season. Yesterday’s 4-1 victory over Birmingham Ladies, a side they have not beaten all season, secured the Continental Cup. They had already won the Women’s Super League and the FA Cup, so a nice Domestic Treble in the bag for another […]
After failing last week to string consecutive league wins together for the first since the beginning of this calendar year, we will try to make it back to back in any competition, and follow our 3-1 Carling Cup third round win over Shrewsbury Town with a similar result against second-from-bottom Bolton Wanderers FC. Last weekend […]
Djourou and Yossi are out for today’s fixture with thigh strains but Rosicky, Sagna and Ramsey back in… I don’t think too many fans will be disappointed with the Djourou news but Yossi, well it’s a shame having opened his scoring tally midweek. It’s hard to believe that since Bolton beat us back in April […]
