Morning Gooners, I was quite surprised reading the contents of a particular article yesterday. The author of Sport Witness was simply producing an article based on what French Newspaper L’Equipe and Le 10 Sport, had plastered across their sports headlines. L’Equipe: Arsenal, Le French disaster – Diaby injured, Koscielny overwhelmed, Giroud off-beam… a nightmare’ Le 10 Sport said: Koscielny, […]

Morning Gooners, We seem to be posed with questions about some of our players who are not entirely happy with ‘their lot’ and some who may be feeling the strain of being pressured. We are in an enviable position at the moment, the squad are responding to what looks like the Bould experiment and we seem […]
Morning Gooners, No doubt you have all seen the goals from last nights 6-1 victory over Coventry, so there is no need for me to describe them. Coventry put up a decent resistance in the first half, keeping the score respectable and credit to them for not parking the bus. They came to The Emirates and […]
Morning Gooners, Five games into the Premier League season and we have conceded two goals, this time last year we had conceded fourteen! Yes, fourteen and we went on to conceded another thirty-four before the season ended, something which most Gooners said needed to be rectified this season. Well Sunday we faced the Premier League’s […]
The starting line up was a little bit different then usual due to TV05 having flu, while Ramsey played instead of Giroud. The team was: Mannone, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Ramsey, Diaby, Arteta (Captain), Cazorla, Gervinho, Podolski. Subs: Martinez, Andre Santos, Giroud, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Djourou, Coquelin. We kicked off the game equal on points with […]
Morning Gooners. Over the years under Wenger’s reign as Arsenal boss we’ve had the privilege of witnessing some sublime football from our team. This has been made possible by the fluidity of our attacking unit and there has been two main dominant types of forwards at our club during that period. We’ve had the lightning […]
Morning Gooners, it’s all good news today. Firstly, 17 year old Academy scholar Jack Jebb, a young player who is expected to take the Jack Wilshere path rather than the David Bentley one, has signed professional terms with the Club. He’s a London born and bred player who is described as a technically-gifted central midfielder […]
Morning Gooners, In my heart and mind, Ex Arsenal Captain Tony Adams will never be anything other than a hero. He led us to: First Division/Premier League: 1988–89, 1990–91, 1997–98, 2001–02 FA Cup Winners: 1992–93, 1997–98, 2001–02 Football League Cup Winners: 1986–87, 1992–93 FA Community Shield: 1991 (shared), 1998, 1999 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup: 1993–94 […]

We lined up: Mannone, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud, Gervinho Substitutes: Shea, Koscielny, Santos, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Coquelin The first bit of action was within a minute of the start when Diaby got an early booking. This was shortly followed by the first goal of the […]
Those fears are not for us I hasten to add…. Having managed just one win since the start of the season and after a recent 3-1 defeat to newly promoted Stade de Reims, Montpellier’s Younès Belhanda is concerned for his club tomorrow night: If we play like that against Arsenal, we’ll concede eight goals. That was […]
Morning Gooners, Recovering from a serious injury or a raft of niggling, confidence sapping injuries, is not an exact science. Some players return as good as new. Others suffer deep psychological damage, from which they never fully recover. Eduardo is the classic example, he was lucky to still have two legs and be able to […]
As time ticks by each season we all discuss players contracts. Who does and does not, in our own view, deserve to stay and not surprisingly those views differ very often. Players like Walcott, Djourou, Ramsey, Jenkinson, Fabianski, Mannone, Chamakh etc are all names that pop up very often and cause divide amongst us, in opinion […]
