Morning all, It’s the time of the season that seems to come round every year and it’s usually just after Cesc Fabregas has his birthday. For many people its Easter, Christmas, Bank Holidays but in this case its Cesc Fabregas Day. Even before the season is over, speculation about our fine Captain begins and in […]

Going on from the talk about who should play at which level for their country, I was looking around to see who from our club is making an impact at under 17 level. One name stood out and that was Kyle Ebecilio, Dutch Number 6 below. ( That was my number in my playing days […]
Our young Englishman, Jack Wilshere is just 19 years old; he has played in forty-five league games for us and has been involved in three matches for the England first team in 2011. Forty eight games in ten months is a lot to ask of a lad whose bones are still growing! Now he has […]
Firstly I just want to pass on my condolences to the family of Sir Henry Cooper who passed away early yesterday morning aged 76. The world of Sport and Boxing in particular has lost a wonderful man – RIP Big Fella…. On to todays fun story which no doubt some will fail to see adds […]
Flash back to December 27, 2010. We were in the midst of a wretched winless run against Chelsea when they visited the Emirates looking for their customary three points. We took the pitch well and truly up for that one, and even though we had to wait until almost halftime to score our first goal […]
So there we all were back in February, thrilled that finally Arsenal had got themselves to Wembley for a Cup Final, desperate for us to beat Birmingham and get all the comments about winning a trophy off our back but all the time Wenger thought the Cup didn’t matter, it was not important. Maybe that […]
Thomas Vermaelen played the full ninety minutes for the reserves on Thursday, came through unscathed and has declared himself fit for the last few games of our campaign. I bet deep down he is desperate to play for the first team, no doubt he has watched every game we have played in whilst he has […]
I had this sent to me by someone who wishes to remain anonymous, it’s a bit of a long post but it’s worth hanging on in until the end… Arsenal dropped out of three competitions in the span of only 14 days, which of course means a massive blow to morale within the team. But […]
Two stories broke yesterday, the first we all discussed and probably will until the day OUR club announce the sale of our number 4. We went through it all last summer during the transfer window and no doubt we will go through it all again. Unless the deal is done and he leaves as soon […]
Short and sweet today folks, another one from my own view, feel free to tell me your thoughts… Arsene, forget the maths, forget this season and stop feeling sorry for yourself about this one. Four games to go so just make sure we are in the Champions League next season! Smash the Mancs at the […]
Before all you Arsene Wenger loving fans leave a comment slating the title – read on! Is he a fool or a highly paid scape goat? 6 million a year buys you an awful lot of silence from a manager to handle all the criticisms while the board ripen to cow, sell and line their […]
Before we even discuss Sunday afternoon’s events, may I take the opportunity to wish all readers a Happy Easter. The weather in Lancashire looked beautiful, and it has been a warm, pretty day here in the Metro DC area. The task was evident as we lined up at the Reebok – scene of some previous […]
