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 […]
So, here we go again then, off to Eastlands to play against one of the richest clubs around and we are more than likely to be up against one of the most greedy players we have ever signed and sold on! After his midweek performance, Lardybayor is bound to start against us today but should […]
What a load of codswallap – The bit about De Jong I mean! Many people think that our rivals on Sunday have a real chance of dislodging the Chavs and Mancs off the top of the Premiership next May. Yes they have money, yes they have a couple of great players in Yaya and Silva […]
So, reports suggest JET is on his way out on loan to Neil Warnocks side QPR, strange one that one as he just seemed to be on the edge of first team but I guess with all our injured players on the way back, it would be a good move for him. It’s certainly better than sitting […]
Would any Arsenal Fan want Wayne Rooney to play in the red and white of our fine club? Me, I say no. Many will say yes I am sure. All through the summer we Arsenal fans got upset, angry and very annoyed with the Cesc Fabregas saga, many stood by him, many just wanted him sold […]
An auspicious Tuesday afternoon began with a wonderful display by our reserve team, with two undoubted stars of the future, Chuks Aneke and JET, putting in superb performances while scoring all four goals between them as we beat West Ham 4:1. The weather, not to be outdone, decided to join in, with a swift and […]
We are back in Europe once again. Most of the pundits and ex-players think this is our best chance of a trophy. So far so good. We have collected 6 from 6 accumulating 9 goals while conceding only one. Central to this good start has been our very own Russian enigma -Andrey Arshavin. In Europe […]
