Capital One Cup is done for another round and it’s back to the Premier League and a side which could do with learning how to fight for a result like the team did against Reading, eventually. Hopefully in the next fixture, which is away to Bradford City, the players will show a bit of that fighting spirit […]

Morning Gooners, Last August, at the height of the transfer fun fest, Arsene Wenger surprised everyone by sanctioning the transfer of Alex Song. Off went our Cameroon midfielder to that familiar destination, that is, Arsenal’s Spanish Bankers, FC Barcelona, for a very useful fee in the region of £15 million. After many senior appearances, Song joined his old team-mate […]
No matter how much we all love and respect Arsene Wenger and believe that he is a gentleman and no matter how grateful we are to him for turning the club around when he first came, instigating the move to the Emirates and for buying some wonderful players for us to enjoy playing the best […]
Ten points is a huge gap at the top and even at this stage of the season, it’s understandable to start thinking there is no way we can make up those points, not when you consider the depth of squad that Chelsea are able to boast. Then, add to that the amount of injuries we […]
Morning Gooners, Are we really good enough to win the Premier League, that is the question we should be asking. High hopes were held by many after the first half a dozen games, but Chelsea’s game at home and Norwich away has brought ourselves to the point of double guessing ourselves but before we start […]
Morning all, This is not about Theo Walcott’s contract situation, it’s been done to death by everyone I think. Today is about what if he does go, does he really need to be replaced, and I mean by signing another player? Many cynical fans chose to believe that Walcott is only after more money but […]
Below is the list of the ‘Select Referee’s’ for the Premier League, who actually selects them remains anyone’s guess. But according to the FA they are appointed by the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) to officiate matches not only in the Premier League, but the Football League, FA Cup and Football League Cup as well. The […]
Morning all What is your view on experience versus Academies, youngsters training programs and schooling, a subject which has been raised many times with Arsenal. Arsene’s way has been to sign up youngsters and mould them into typical Arsenal players, take them on and train them to play the Arsenal way, a club apprenticeship if you […]
Arsenal’s campaign so far. Looking at the league table, it’s hard to fight the slight feeling of disappointment. I don’t mean that we sit currently at seventh, that’s not important yet as we are not even a quarter of the way into the season. I actually have very high aspirations for us this season, as […]
Part 1 In the summer of 1996 after the expected sacking of Bruce Rioch who had been in charge of Arsenal for just a year, I was looking forward to having my favourite football manager at the time – Johan Cruyff appointed as our new manager. Over the summer weeks, with newspapers claiming talks between […]
Morning Gooners. Russia played on Friday night and no sign of Andrey Arshavin, I think I am right in saying he didn’t even make the make the bench. What has happened to this Russian, the second most expensive player Arsene Wenger has bought, the player who scored four goals against Liverpool at Anfield? The player […]
So after Kosceinly suffered an injury scare midweek, Theo Walcott suffered a real one last night. No sooner had the England game got going, San Marino goalkeeper, Simoncini totally wiped Walcott out when trying to win a 50/50 ball, one which Roy Hodgson didn’t like, one bit! If I described it as reckless I’d be […]
