Morning all. Back in 1986 and on this very day, Arsenal sold Martin Keown to Aston Villa. Seven years later though, back he came from Everton and truly became an Arsenal legend. There’s a lot in the newspapers this morning and not all is transfer gossip. Doesn’t mean to say it’snot idle gossip though. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain […]

Morning all. On this day back in 1982 Arsenal signed Tony Woodcock from FC Koln for just £500,000. Woodcock was Arsenal’s top scorer for the next four seasons, his best tally being 21 in 1983–84 including five in a single game against Aston Villa. I think that remains a record at Arsenal – Arshavin came closest against […]
Morning all. And what a beautiful sunny one it is too here in the UK, looks like summer has finally arrived. Barcelona romped the Champions League final last night, well they beat Juventus 3-1. Good, now that’s over the transfer business for us might get going. I know the transfer window is not officially open until […]
Morning all. I think it’s fair to say that what’s on most Arsenal fans minds right now is who will Arsene Wenger sign this summer…. Arsenal finished the season in the dizzy heights of third place and we defended our FA Cup so everything is rosy (ish)… Criky, I’ve not even read ‘Arsene Out’ comments for a long […]
Morning all. See, I told you Jacks comments at the parade were daft and now he’s copped an FA fine! I get what he was saying, I really do and yes, Tottenham and the word he used are nothing other than a match made in heaven but everyone knows stuff like that is frowned upon by the ‘powers […]
Morning all. Well, that’s that then until early July and the pre-season tour/games. What on earth are we going to chat about during the next 8 weeks? Wimbledon? The Ashes? Athletics? Holidays? (Not Sepp Blatter and FIFA I hope.) The actual answer to that question is probably what we chat about for the other 44 weeks […]
Morning all. The Express today write that Petr Cech is on the verge of telling Chelsea that he wants to sign for Arsenal. Whether or not Chelsea will allow him to swap London clubs remains to be seen – my fingers are firmly crossed. In fact if Roman wants to try and smooth relationships after […]
Morning all. So, Chelsea were crowned Premier League Champions. No doubt many football fans, especially Arsenal ones will be thinking about just how boring their style of football was last season, especially during the second half of the the campaign. But the league table will simply see them sitting at the top and no reference […]
Morning all. Even the rain couldn’t keep Arsenal fans at home yesterday as the Arsenal Parade took place. Two buses, one manager, a bunch of Arsenal players and other staff partied the day away in celebration of winning the FA Cup for a second season running. I’m sure Sky Sports showed more of our our […]
Morning all. History has been made. Twelve FA Cup Trophies! We stand alone… Ok, slightly tongue in cheek heading but yesterday, Arsene Wenger was back to his best. He got it right with Szczesny, the big pole stopped everything which looked like Benteke could get his head to. Well done big man! If he was behind […]
Morning all. Club captain won’t be playing today and it’s unsure whether he’ll still be at Arsenal next season as his contract expires this summer according to the Sky Sports interviewer who asked him about his future. Mikel replied: I would love to (stay), yes. We’re both very clear what we want and we will announce […]
Morning all. Just a few days ago, I’m sure I heard the manager say he knew his starting eleven but was keeping that close to his chest, yet yesterday, he wasn’t so sure and suggested that he’d not quite made up his mind. Was that because of Walcott’s hat-trick or maybe even Wilshere’s performance and stunning goal […]
