My Father was an Arsenal supporter all his life, but like many Arsenal fans both past and present, when the big finals came around he was treated shabbily by both the Football Association and Arsenal Football Club… He saw his first ‘live’ Arsenal game, ironically at White Hart Lane, when Arsenal played at Tottenham in […]

Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been criticised by ‘some’ for signing Mesut Ozil. Those who question the signing suggest he was’t really needed, he’s a luxury in a midfield already full of talent, a waste of money as we don’t have the right kind of striker ahead of him. Those are just a few of […]
Morning all. Happy Good Friday folks, don’t go over eating now! According to The Metro, we are very close to signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s defender Sebastian Jung after his agent admitted a summer move to the Gunners is on the cards. £7 million is the price quoted for this German international. With Bacary Sagna’s future still hanging […]
Morning all. Ok, it’s all media speculation but at least it’s positive. Bacary Sagna is set to sign a new contract and remain a Gooner which if true is great news. He’s been on fire this season and players like him need to stick around and pass on their experience down to the younger ones, […]
I must admit that before kick off, I thought we were good to get one over the Hammers until I saw the team sheet, which I did not like one bit. All show and very little go in the midfield, to my eye. Half way through the first period, I thought we were gonners… We […]
Morning all. I’ll start with the transfer gossip and The Mirror report that as well as Morata, we are hoping to sign Casemiro, a Brazillian box-to-box midfielder. I’ll admit to knowing nothing about him but he’s being described as being the player who could take over from Mikel Arteta. This is Jack Lang of The Mirrors […]
Morning all. Hero of the FA Cup semi-final, Lukasz Fabianski, has been talking about his superb penalty saves which secured us victory on Saturday: To be honest with you I did some homework but none of them [the Wigan penalty takers] were on my list! The guys who stepped up to take penalties [were different] […]
Morning all. Just one more sleep to go! Ok I’m not going but I’m excited, our boys are off to Wembley! But they won’t win if they don’t show the opposition some well deserved respect and that’s exactly what Arsene Wenger intends to do: For us what is very important is to win the semi-final […]
Morning all. More Wembley woe to talk about as we are about to embark on what is these days, a surprising yet most welcome return to the big stadium in London. Not the best of course as we have that in The Emirates. Ok, I’m biased! Personally I think it’s a great shame that the […]
Morning all. Transfer Gossip: Toulouse right back Serge Aurier, 21, to join Arsenal despite interest from super-rich French clubs Monaco and PSG (The Sun). Manchester United will compete with the Gunners to sign France midfielder Maxime Gonalons, 25 (TalkSport). Arsenal have been given a boost in their pursuit of Dynamo Kiev midfielder Younes Belhanda, 24, after the player said he was “dreaming” […]
Morning all. Every footballing pundit who said many months ago that our squad was too shallow to win the league are all jumping on the ‘I told you so’ bandwagon and even though I hate them for doing so, can you blame them? We have been saying the same since firstly, the summer transfer window […]
Morning all. And it isn’t a good one…… At 2-0 down we had a chance if Arsene Wenger had the balls to make changes, he didn’t, just like he so often doesn’t. Ask yourself this. If you were a football manager and you were sat watching how everything was going wrong in front of your […]
