I can understand if Wenger doesn’t buy a central midfielder in the summer, I really can. I think he should have bought one before now but things are rapidly changing at the club. Firstly and I know we have covered this before but had Frimpong not suffered such an injury I am sure that Wenger […]

Most of you would have guessed who I am talking about but for those who haven’t I’m talking about Henri Lansbury. He’s a player who I love to watch and just pray that one day he gets the kind of chance under Arsene Wenger as others get, regardless of their performances each game. I know […]
Can you believe some of the refereeing decisions that we see week in and week out, I for one cannot. I was led to believe that football is run on a set of rules, where offside is offside, handball is handball and so on. Those rules have been tampered with so that a simple rule […]
Cheer up fellow Gooners. I understand how you all feel. I am still in absolute shock about Saturday’s result. I woke up thinking about it and I have just finished watching the re-run on Football First. It wasn’t an enjoyable watch. But we have to forget about it, because if you are all totally honest […]
While not necessarily intending to go Nietzsche on everyone, I thought that one of the oft-quoted German philosopher’s better-known quotes may apply here…Before I begin discussing things, let me say up front that I am not going to sit here and unload on referee Phil Dowd and his crew. I think they did a poor […]
The last few days have been all about the match against Everton and who said what or not to whom. Reality is Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have said the book is closed on the incident and that’s probably a good thing too. The FA say there is no case to answer so let’s put it […]
I’m going to touch on this briefly as it’s been written and talked about since Tuesdays game but I worry about what appears to be a witch hunt against our Captain! It started back in February 2007 when Arsenal faced Blackburn – a boring 0-0 result at The Emirates when Mark Hughes parked the usual […]
Ok, before anyone starts shouting about how an injury to any player can be good news let alone Nasri, please read the rest first. We all know that Samir Nasri is one of the first names to be on the team sheet for Arsene Wenger this season, his form has been outstanding and he always […]
Now that the non-event (for us Arsenal supporters) known as the January Transfer Window has ended, it’s back to work with an important league match against Everton. With the domestic cups temporarily shelved for a couple of weeks, we can focus on the league and picking up as many points as possible. Many of our […]
Yep, the transfer window is now shut, no last-minute surprises for Arsenal fans and that’s the last time I include any rumours about us buying players, well, that is until the summer of course 😉 While Chelsea were splashing the cash, Liverpool were following suit. Arsenal, well they just confirmed the signing of Ryo Miyaichi […]
I jest of course, to say we made hard work of the game is an understatement. The changes we anticipated took place. Three minutes in and Arshavin had the opportunity to give us the perfect start but a man so low in confidence fluffed his lines for not the first time this season, Bendtner followed […]
Ok, a bit tongue in cheek about Steve Bould. According to old favourite Paul Merson, a little while back the two of them were sat talking about the up and coming players at Arsenal and Merse asked who was going to be the ones to watch. Bouldy said: We’ve got this boy called Jack, he’s […]
