Striker-less up front & No Focal Point in our Attack. That's what we do best….

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 […]

The 'Next Wilshere' signs on! The Real One is back as is Frimpong & and just four left in the sick bay….

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 […]

Szczesny out for 2-3 months rumour & Tony Adams. From Hero to being all Bitter and Twisted….

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 […]

Not great, but we dug deep to hold on…..

Morning Gooners, Well that was a tough night! 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 […]

Fears ahead of Champions League fixture & Jack Wilshere returns to training…..

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 […]

Waving goodbye to Colin Lewin. Players should leave if they aren't happy & Frimpong fit, ready and looking good……

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 […]

A reason to be cheerful as Arsene Wenger set to be offered a new contract, but will he sign it?

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 […]

Wenger wants Drogba & Juve want Theo! Diaby hope & Santi Cazorla gets Player of the Month

Morning all, We all know that no matter what any player actually says during an interview, the anti Arsenal journalists will so often give their words a little tweak or print only the negative answers, usually ignoring anything positive. Arsene Wenger goes through a rough time too when facing the press and it does really […]

Diaby out, Theo sick & Is Sagna fearing for his place in the side?

Well it didn’t take long did it, three games into the Premier League, one for France and Abou Diaby is injured and will miss tonights World Cup qualifier for his country. Didier Deschamps has revealed a muscular problem is then reason our midfield man will miss the fixture against Belarus. Diaby took a bad shot […]

Could Summer talks see January signings?

I don’t want to go on about the January transfer window, crikey, the summer one has only just closed but during the last few months, three players at least have suggested that Arsenal were interested in signing them. First up is Cheikhou Kouyate, the Senegalese defender who plays for Anderlecht. He maintains that had his clubs […]

Arsene Wenger – He's not that bad is he, even though his job is easy…….

Morning Gooners, I have in the past praised Wenger for what he has done for Arsenal Football Club, but  many supporters have different views and don’t want him to lead our club. That’s fine though isn’t it, we wouldn’t all want to be the same would we and the lack of trophies in our cabinet […]
