Well it’s Friday so today we look back on a few rumours that have been around and who we have been linked to. The January Transfer window maybe still be many weeks away but it certainly doesn’t stop clubs, agents and even players trying to set up business for the impending silly month of January. […]

The whistle goes to start the game, the home fans in high spirits and as it turned out, they had every right to be! Within a minute of the game starting, Wilshere fouls Eduardo 25 yards out but the free kick causes Fabianski little problem as he saves comfortably. Next up, Eboue wins a corner, […]
As we enter match-day four we are well on course to a trip to Wembley. We have 9 points from 3 games in which we have scored 14 goals while only conceding two in the process. It’s a remarkable feat considering we broke the previous record held by the Galacticos, 12. We have scored 14 […]
Great news came out of the club yesterday that Jack Wilshere signed a new ‘long term’ contract. Yes, we all knew he probably would but it’s good when its official, all we need now is for Szczesny to follow in his footsteps. Last week, K-TR7 highlighted an excellent article about the psychology within football and especially at Arsenal. […]
Piers Morgan, one of the sports writers for the Daily Mail has hung his writing boots up and moved on to pastures new. I shall miss his articles, not only were they written through the eyes of a Gooner but they were very open, honest and from his heart. I know he’s not everyone’s cup […]
We have seen days like this before, and will surely see them again: we huff and we puff, and struggle to breach the opponents’ defence. Arsene said afterwards he was relieved, as it looked like we would have to settle for a point, at best – and I can certainly agree with him. Despite a […]
Games like this are often the toughest to play. Last weekend we beat the Northern Chavs on their own turf, followed that with a very good away win at Newcastle in the Carling Cup with many a changed side, so confidence has to be high. But not too high I hope, every players feet must […]
Back in 2008, reports were rife about Giles Grimandi keeping tabs on Blaise Matuidi, a defensive midfielder who plays for St Etienne. The player had three years left to run on his contract back then and his club refused to negotiate a sale. Matuidi has kept his head down, played his football which has since earned […]
The most important thing about last night was we got a win at St James Park and we are in the next round of the Carling Cup but last night, watching Emmanuel Eboue perform his theatrics was embarrassing to say the least. I know it’s getting near Panto Time of the year but he really […]
Following our fine win at the weekend it’s good to listen to a real ‘Mr Arsenal’ talk about his old club and speak from his heart. Ray Parlour isn’t one of those ex-players who have an axe to grind, nor does he feel the need to ever praise us up when we all know things […]
The Arsenal AGM was held this Thursday just gone, and Arsene surprised even some of his fiercest critics by fielding all questions hurled at him. The normal format at the AGM is for attendees to submit questions, in advance, for Board members to answer. Except our potential future owner surly Silent Stan, he apparently just sat […]
Only time will tell just how significant this afternoon’s away victory at Eastlands is. Will these three points convince our players that they can compete with the big-spending sides? Will it give them confidence to consistently play well away from home? Will these three points be the difference between Premiership Champions and Premiership not-Champions? We’ll […]
