Is 2011/12 our worst season during the Arsene Wenger Era and inception of Premier League in 1992/93? Apparently not as 2005/06 tops it. Season … W … D … … L … F … … A … +/- … Table Position 2005/06: 20 … 07 … 11 … 68 … 37 … 31 … 67 […]

I was going to call this ‘The Kids From 47A’ – but I strongly suspect only a few of us would realise why… Allezkev went to watch a young Arsenal side face Boreham Wood yesterday at Meadow Park and he’s very kindly given us all his view on the players who hope to have a […]
At the recent get together with Ivan Gazidis, Arsenal fans heard all about how Cesc Fabregas refused to play last summer in our pre-season fixtures despite being fit and healthy. He was dead set on leaving and that was his way of protest. Gazidis said that the club had learned a lot from that and […]
Going on from yesterday’s article: The major television deals had been struck, Abramovich and the Sheikh of Manchester City were bringing new meaning to the word profligacy, David Dein had departed and winning things was fast becoming a thing of the past for Arsenal. In the meantime many of us scrape together our excessive season ticket money, often […]
There was a time when being an Arsenal fan was easy. You just showed up at the ground on a Saturday afternoon, got in a semi-orderly queue at the gate you always used, stood where you alway stood, bought a bag of roasted peanuts, spoke to the same people and went home happy or sad. […]
As it stands, we’ve all read Robin’s statement but still need to read between the lines to even hazard a guess as to what he’s actually said. The possible scenarios to my way of thinking are the following…. A) He is truly taking one last stab at persuading the club to bring some talent in […]
So it seems Robin has made up his mind and he’s off this summer after the club have decided not to include him in the latest on-line Arsenal Catalogues. Robin returned to training on Monday as expected and made it clear he wants to sit down and resolve the matter of his future, either way, as soon […]
My own answer didn’t require much, if any thought – it’s no with a capital ‘N’. But, knowing how reluctant Arsene Wenger is to spend mass amounts of money on the type of player we need, is he now looking to fill our void with this not so young any more, Craig Eastmond? Wenger once […]
Surely not! If it’s not Manchester City making waves for our players, it’s bloody Barcelona – I hate them both with a passion. Having done nothing to stop the persistent association with them and Thomas Vermaelen, they now seem quite willing to sit back and watch us all suffer as Laurent Koscielny become the latest […]
Matías Ezequiel Suárez – plays for Anderlecht as a winger/forward – he’s been linked with us since the last transfer window. In fact some have suggested that he signed a pre-contract agreement back in January. Then there is Southamptons Luke Shaw – we all know Arsene Wenger likes to sign a younger player each summer […]
What would you do?? It’s Monday morning, you are sat down in your office behind your computer, or on the train heading to your workplace, trekking up the fifth ladder of the day with a pile of bricks maybe, and it’s not even 8.15am. It’s your first day back after two weeks of being on […]
Twitter was rife yesterday with rumours about us signing a Spanish International who was named in the recent Euro winning squad. Then the guessing games began, Santi Cazorla was the most popular players name and why, I don’t know. I’d like to think it would be Javi Martinez of Athletic Bilbao but somehow I doubt […]
