If we are to believe all that’s written, back in January 2005 Abou Diaby was wanted by the Rich Kids in London. Yep, Chelsea were keen to sign our player but Diarra put him off. Abou had traveled to London whilst playing for Auxerre and had a tour of Stamford Bridge I wonder if he […]

Recent comments written in many Arsenal blogs, all of them claiming the moral high ground as to who is, or is not, a good fan, has made me think; just what or who is an Arsenal fan, and who makes the best or worse fans and how do you decide which is which? First we […]
‘Kick Kicking out of Football’ We fans have seen our very own players get singled out for bad tackles, week in week out and it still continues. Sunday we saw a dreadful case of this on Diaby by Essien, still today I don’t know how he was able to carry on. I thought his ankle […]
That’s what Wenger said after yesterday, ‘We have no big problems’!! However….. To paraphrase French commentator Alphonse Karr, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” So what changed today? Arsenal sported a supposedly improved central defense, and an actual target man. What stayed the same? The result, of course. But also depressingly […]
Here we are at it again. Turn on sky and all you’ll see is Drogba…Drogba…Drogba. Why is this always the case? First and foremost we all know that he has scored 12 goals in 12 matches against us. He has the unparalleled ability to bully most defenders to submission. To prevent this from happening again […]
Born in Stevenage in 1992 Jack Wilshere’s football began at Luton. he wasn’t there very long, a couple of months I believe before he joined Arsenal 2001. He would become captain of the under 16’s in 2007 and in the same year made his England debut, for the under 17’s. The following year he played […]
Don’t you love it when A spurs player, well he was once, comes out and speaks the truth for a change. Teddy Sheringham was once one of Tottenham’s best players. sadly for them he jumped ship and join old red nose up north. He has been talking about the England Team, a team he describes […]
I know the transfer window is firmly locked and bolted until January 1st 2011 but I still believe that Fabianski only played on Tuesday because Chesney had a little moan to the papers. Gallas did something similar and he has the captains armband removed! We know Wenger hates players using the media to voice their own […]
In terms of “here and now”, we cannot view this evening’s win at FK Partizan as anything but a good result: Six out of six points in this season’s Champions League competition, our first away win in said competition for a year, a good rebound win following Saturday’s shambles. These are all things we hoped […]
Every morning I wake up I see my Champions league poster on the wall and I keep on asking myself the same question. Pose the same question point-blank to Fabregas, how do you think he will respond? The common responses will be: yes, no or maybe. Frankly speaking I don’t know. Pose the […]
If the headline baffles, go and google Rainbow, it’s a kids television programme from many years ago…. So Almunia is injured and Flappyanski is lined up to take his place for tomorrow nights game. Me, I don’t believe it, Almunia has been dropped after his woeful displace which is right. But, replacing him with a keeper who […]
Losing is a fact of life. Most of us have lost throughout our lives. Most of us will continue to lose throughout the remainder of whatever is left of our lives. For many of us that is why we support The Arsenal, because we hope against hope that somehow their winning will make the reality […]
