It was all going to start in December he said…. We’d make our home advantage count he said….. Well neither happened yesterday did it? We were outplayed by a style of football we once watched OUR club play and well beaten by two goals from a bargain £2 million Spanish signing, the type of player […]
He’s also spoken about the bumped and bruised ahead of Saturdays’ game against Swansea and apparently there are quite a few. The only serious one though was to Laurent Koscielny and he’s now out for three weeks at least with a muscular problem in his thigh. Bacary Sagna also took a bit of a knock […]
Morning all, Firstly, according to The Metro, Wenger has confirmed he won’t be spending big despite the money coming in from the new Emirates deal!! If we get that amount of money from sponsors it is not charity, it is because the sponsors feel that we act in the right way and with the right values. […]
And no I don’t mean: Caribbean, Mauritius, Devon or somewhere in the Dominican Republic, I mean where would you like to see our club be in the Premier League after our final fixture of 2012 which is against Newcastle at The Emirates? Let’s be realistic though, as much as we’d all like us to be sat at the top, it […]
A few comments from the manager after the Aston Villa game which were directed at the idiots with a microphone: What is the thinking behind the substitution? I will not explain every decision I make. I have managed for 30 years at the top level and I have to convince you journalists I can manage […]

Morning folks, A few days ago, Arsene Wenger set us all off moaning when he hinted that Thierry Henry would be the answer to all our prayers in January, well, that’s if we were all crying out for one in the striker department of course. Since then though, Arsene has kind of backtracked. I just spoke […]

Booked: Cazorla, Giroud, Koscielny. Goals: Wilshere 49, Podolski 63. We started off sloppily. But we still have one game left. We need to finish top. The first half was hard. […]
Morning folks. I’m sure you already know but just in case anyone has been asleep for the last twenty four hours, Emmanuel Frimpong has left us until January 1st 2013. His destination is Charlton, much to the disappointment of Wolves fans and his new manager will be Chris Powell. Charlton currently sit fourteenth in Championship. […]
Let’s start with Theo Walcott, none of us need his contract situation explaining but it seems like he’s going nowhere, well not in January. When asked if Walcott would be staying until the end of the season, Wenger replied: Yes, my intention has always been to keep Theo. We continue to talk and the ambition […]
Morning Gooners, Children in Need today, so fill those buckets for Terry and the gang. Wonder if Wenger or Gazidis will be giving up any of their hard-earned pennies?
