Morning all. First up it’s a Big Happy Birthday to Robert ‘Sir Bobby’ Pires who is 41 years old today. What a super player he was for us, shame he turned 30 years old during the era in which Arsene Wenger believed that was the retirement age for footballers! All so very different these days […]
Morning all. I said it would get worse for transfer rumours… Today it’s Swiss international Stephan Lichtsteiner who is fondly known as Forrest Gump because he runs, runs and keeps on running. He’s a 30 year old right back who according to a few newspapers is wanted by both Arsene Wenger and the poison dwarf in […]
Morning all. We desperately need a centre back, even Arsene Wenger has admitted that. He’s even hinted a signing one in January, not that that always means much but this time I think he’s telling the truth. Over the other side of London, West Ham to be precise, Winston Reid is in his last year […]
Morning all. According to The Metro, Barcelona’s Pedro wants out as he’s sick of playing second fiddle to Neymar and now Suarez. Apparently it was him Arsene Wenger wanted in the summer but ended up with his old team-mate Alexis Sanchez. Well we all know that’s poppycock. Signing a quality player like Pedro would be […]
Morning all. After our midweek victory, Per Mertesacker voiced his concerns: The character is good, the mentality is good but, football-wise, we lack a few things. Our passing game is not as efficient as last year. We have to admit we are not at our best, be honest with ourselves and train harder. Wenger: I […]
Morning all. Bit of transfer gossip: The Express report Sami Khedira will lower his wage demands in order to secure a move to Arsenal. Real Madrid manager insists the player is going nowhere until the summer as they still hope to persuade him to stay. Antonio Rudiger, a 21-year-old German defender who played at Borussia Dortmund […]
Morning all. Ahead of last night’s game, Arsene Wenger expressed how he believed the level of our performances so far this season haven’t earned us the right results. He felt that we should have more victories instead of draws. Well last night, that view couldn’t be further from the truth. We were awful, absolutely awful, yet […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Arsene Wenger who is 65 years old today. Retirement age isn’t it? Sadly not but darn I wish it was and applied to football management. Fergie wouldn’t have won as many trophies as he did and now we’d be wondering who is set to become our new manager. If only […]
Morning all. Something which will cheer us Gooners relates to Lukas Podolski. Despite not being able to force his way into the Arsenal side this season which in itself is somewhat strange when we consider how many injuries we have and the fact that Danny Welbeck is yet to be given a break, he is a […]
Morning all. Back on this day in 1934, Ted Drake scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 battering of Tottenham! I think Mikel Arteta models himself on Ted Drake, especially the hair….. Arsene Wenger has been talking about why results aren’t going our way. No, not in that tricky interview after the match with the BBC […]
Yesterday began with the earth shattering news that Man City were preparing to sign Mesut Ozil for £32million. A loss to Arsenal of over £10million should the move go ahead. The report was in the Express and repeated in the Metro. Two newspapers, famous for reporting a load of rubbish, so still my beating heart…. […]
