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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Morning Gooners, I want to talk about some of the things I have read in Houser’s comments, well one in particular. ‘ No one player/person is bigger than the club’ I have used this expression before myself and but I’m starting to think about its merits. Many times I have read that statement and many […]
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 […]
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 […]
