Morning Gooners, Let’s start by congratulating the Arsenal Ladies who yesterday beat Birmingham 1-0 to win the WSL Continental Cup trophy. They have already secured the WSL title and like their male counterparts in 2003/04, they went unbeaten the entire season! The ladies are the 2012/13 Invincibles and well done to them! A few of the […]

So, our Italian Stallion want’s to one day return to Italy and play for AC Milan! Former under-21 international goalkeeper Vito Mannone has been talking to Corriere della Sera: I am happy at Arsenal and want to be Number 1 here, then I’d love to return to Italy and play in Serie A, hopefully with my beloved Milan. I have always […]
Carl Jenkinson. I don’t think it’s too soon to say it. We all know the unrivalled track record of great buys by Arsene Wenger, Anelka, van Persie, Vieira, and many more. We don’t even have to discuss the profits made on their sales, because, again, it’s nothing short of spectacular. During our stressful summer before last season, […]
I must admit I use to hold the opinion that it will be easier for someone to convert me to a religion than accept the notion of the need of a dedicated defensive midfielder in any attractive footballing side as such as Arsenal. As a youngster my favourite team was the Ajax team of the […]
Morning Gooners, According to some of the comments prior to the West Ham game, many felt that we would or could come unstuck but it seems that Wenger and the squad felt differently. After going 1-0 down from an outstanding goal by Diame, against the run of play, Arsenal just took it in their stride […]
Morning all, I’ve been busy at work recently, early starts and late finishes have led me to miss out on much of the recent discussion. But I have been reading and it seems that one loss has unsettled supporters. Some are saying that Koscielny is all washed up, Diaby is like a glass doll and Giroud couldn’t […]
Morning Gooners, Finally, after what seems like a life-time, Jack Wilshere made his comeback yesterday playing just over an hour of football for the Under 21’s. The result wasn’t as all hoped as they lost to their West Brom counter-parts 1-0 but something more important was going on. Not that Terry Burton will think that […]
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 […]
