Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it, last Tuesday we came out of the blocks like greyhounds and zipped the ball around with pace and precision, we were unstoppable. Yesterday was very different. We lacked pace, urgency and at times, it seemed interest and our passing game was all over the place. […]

Morning all. I could envision myself getting to know another culture and language. Any chance of Spain? That was a goal earlier, but that is unrealistic due to the financial crisis. So why not England? “I would be the fourth German at Arsenal, that wouldn’t be so bad. That was Bayer Leverkusen’s Gonzalo Castro talking to […]
Morning all. Jurgen Klopp will be missing from the dugout when we face Dortmund in just over a couple of weeks time. He was missing at the Marseille match but his side still romped past the French side but we are stronger than Marseille and should his side be on the back foot Klopp won’t […]
Morning all. Onto a bit of fun this morning regarding our 6′ 4″ French centre-forward. In May 2008, at an age of 21, Oliver Giroud signed up for French Ligue 2 side Tours. In his first season, he made 23 league appearances and, scoring 9 goals. In his second season, he made 38 appearances and […]
Morning all. Interesting to hear the two managers speak ahead of tonights fixture, neither can praise the other high enough and to be fair, if only for events so far this season, both managers deserve such praise. Tonight is going to be the toughest test we have faced so far this season in my opinion […]
Morning all. Having had a trial with us in the summer, 18 year old Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Matt Macey could be heading to Arsenal on a permanent deal according to Dean Jones of the Sunday People. Apparently Arsene Wenger is very keen to sign the youngster and the player himself would not hesitate to sign […]
Morning all. The PL returns this weekend with another away fixture against Swansea and most, if not all of the young guns who secured our next round CO Cup match against Chelsea, will be back watching. Probably a good job too as they must be exhausted after Wednesday night but didn’t they do well. I […]
Yesterday I wrote about Arsenal’s Young Pretenders, and the promise that they have in store for us. Well at the Hawthorns yesterday evening, they duly turned up and not only showed their promise, but also their quality whilst also showing their maturity. It was not a classic, but frankly I don’t care, the ends justify […]
Morning all. Unconfirmed reports or should I say wicked rumours are going round suggesting that Aaron Ramsey has suffered a thigh strain and is set to have a scan today. Don’t shoot the messenger if this is wrong, I have only just seen the story which of course could be pure fabrication. Hopefully it is just […]

Morning all. Before the game, Niall Quinn said in order to win the PL, sides have to win when they are playing badly. He suggested that that is where both clubs in Manchester are superior to the rest. They both have the ability to drag a victory from the jaws of defeat whereas most of […]
Morning all. Today’s fixture is against Stoke City, a side which includes that grubby thug Shawcross but our man is over it all: The memories have gone – It took a long time to get the effects of the injury out of my system. Mikel Arteta is back in the squad as we all know […]
