Morning all. Well that was all very different to Saturdays 6-0 drubbing of Lyon. Wolfsburg were more disciplined defensively, quite rough too at times especially with Jack Wilshere but eventually, one slick move opened the door and that was enough to win the game. The German side had the better of the opening stages of the game […]

Morning all. When Aaron passed me the ball I couldn’t believe it. I just swung my left foot at it and fortunately it went in and I was like ‘oh my gosh’. I couldn’t believe it, I was in shock. I didn’t know what to do or how to celebrate but I enjoyed it! I […]
Morning all… Mr Carpetright has certainly stirred up a hornets nest hasn’t he but at least Arsene Wenger had a chuckle about it all during his press conference yesterday and he did of course quickly dampen any suggestions that Arsenal might blow £200 million on transfers this summer. Actually, he all but smashed the idea […]
Morning all. The next step in this pre-season arrives tomorrow as The Emirates Cup kicks off and I’m looking forward to it. So is Arsene: Personally I love the Emirates Cup because it’s competitive without having too much pressure on the games. It’s the first time that we reunite with our fans in our local […]
Morning all. As the Sergi Samper stories gather pace, headlines in Spain don’t make happy reading. Barcelona-based paper Mundo Deportivo dedicated its front page to the story on Wednesday with the headline: ‘Wenger attacks again.’ What’s that all about eh? Fabregas, Merida, Bellerin and Toral. (I’m sure someone will check to see if there were others). […]
Morning all. Rumours in the big wide football world hint at Olivier Giroud agreeing a contract extension together with a pay rise. £130,000 a week is the amount quoted. But is he worth it? Theo Walcott is rumoured to be after £120,000 a week (although some reports he only wants £100,000 a week) in order […]
Morning all. Francis Coquelin is not injured, but if he were, with this current squad what might Arsene Wenger do? Flamini is heading off to Turkey it seems so he’s not an option which one can only say ‘phew’. I’ve nothing against Flamini, well, other than the fact he walked out on us for free […]
Morning all. Following the exit of Robin van Persie from ManUtd, Arsene Wenger said: I’m surprised that Robin van Persie goes to Turkey this summer, he’s a loss for English football because he’s an exceptional player, one of best I’ve managed, with an exceptional technique. I don’t know what happened, why he leaves, but he’s […]
Morning all. That was quite entertaining wasn’t it and I thought we played pretty well considering the heat, humidity and how early in pre-season it is. Theo took his goal well showing strength to beat the defender and keeper, Santi’s goal was like him, pure class and cheeky and Ozil fired home another good goal […]
The first team needs a striker many believe, but so did the ladies it seems and they’ve snapped one up from Barcelona! Well, she’s a ‘forward’ according to wiki although Afc.com list her as a midfielder but that means little… Marta Corredera is her name and she’s a Spanish international footballer. The 23-year-old helped the […]
Morning all. Roger has written today’s post: Bromance and the surprising ways that Flamini brings out the best of Ozil. While we continue to hang in this pre-season purgatory it’s the little things that give me a buzz. I love the video of the effervescent Santi nodding headers round a circle of Arsenal players in […]
Morning all. Well let’s hope the big guy can dive as well to get his bonce on the end of many crosses this season! These overseas pre-season tours to the Far East are clearly a bit of a struggle for our boys, have you seen what they’ve had to endure? Can you imagine having to suffer such […]
