Had Bendtner scored in the dying moments in Barcelona, we could have been at Wembley last night…… I hope the Media wake up this morning and report last night’s game the way they did our match at The Emirates. After we beat the Spanish side at home, every paper, reporter and anyone other than a […]

Over the last few days we have heard that Wenger has secured the signings of Carl Jenkinson, Jon Toral and Hector Bellerin. Jenkinson is 19 years old and the other two are still just 16 years old. Arsene Wenger always talks about how signing ‘big named players’ will kill his youth/reserve players chances of a […]
Amongst all the will he won’t he stories surrounding Cesc Fabregas stories, yesterday AC Milan ruled them out of any chase saying he was too expensive. If my maths is right, that just leaves Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona to go. City we all know will probably pay silly money for him but Cesc […]
Season over… And what a shocking one it was in the end…. Let me highlight something which has been in the media, something which may be relevant at our club and the problems within….. A couple of weeks ago, me and the Mrs was watching Piers Morgan’s programme on television, his guest was John Prescott […]
Number 1: The first and most obvious step is, stop buying for the future for one season and buy experience and I don’t just mean older journey-men but battle hardened, top class 28-30 year olds. The kind of players who know what to do when things are going wrong. Players who the younger guys can […]
That’s it then, season over – well apart from the Champions League Final and I’m interested in that as much as I am watching paint dry! Yep, I’ll watch it, in hope that neither side win 😉 Six seasons have now gone by without winning anything and it’s far too long for a club like […]
Yesterday we saw the closing act of a season which promised so much up through the end of February but ultimately saw us finish empty-handed. February saw us lose the Carling Cup final in calamitous circumstances, sending our side into a tailspin from which they never really recovered. Exits from the European and FA Cup […]
Well Done to Arsenal Ladies and of course to Laura Harvey, the Arsenal manager for winning the FA Cup yesterday. What a day it was and what a performance by our Ladies – they truly deserve the hangover they will all have this morning. 🙂 Another FA Cup Trophy in the bag and a massive […]
Coventry City’s Ricoh Arena is the venue for today’s FA Cup Final between Arsenal Ladies and Bristol Academy Ladies. They suffered a loss in last year’s final right at the death to an Everton winner but every side can have a blip and last season was exactly that for them, that was the first FA […]
There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Ryo Miyaichi but it seems that Wenger plans to see if the lad has what it takes. If he does, Arsenal will apply for his Visa and should they be successful, we could be in for a treat next season watching this zippy little player. Miyaichi has been […]
Rumour post today! 😉 We knew it would happen, the rumours of players leaving and players rumoured to be ‘on the verge’ of signing. Well, this happens every season just before the transfer window opens, agents start touting their players around in attempt to provoke a bidding war, others just do it because ‘their man’ […]
As we approach the close-season with a mixture of frustration and anger, my over-riding feeling is one of sadness. Sadness because with just a little bit more ambition from the management and leadership from the Board, the unsavoury ending to our home campaign both inside and outside the ground, could have been and should have […]
