Morning Gooners So, we have finished our tour of the far East and Arsene Wenger spoke about yesterday’s performance: I think defensively we looked fragile, especially in the first half. In the second half not so much because we were not challenged. Defensively we have a lot of work to do as a unit to […]

Morning Gooners.. The Santi Cazorla story again makes the headlines this morning, a few newspapers report that the deal is expected to be completed by Tuesday as the Qatari negotiators for Malaga are flying in this weekend to sort out the deal and hope to conclude this quickly. Just where these negotiators are flying into I don’t know, […]
You have to feel a bit sorry for Arsene Wenger really, having just lost 2-0 to Manchester City in China the press after the game didn’t really want to talk about what was a much better display from Arsenal. Despite the loss there were many positives to take from the game. Of course their were a […]
What a day ahead we have… We all get to see Arsenal perform again in Asia, today we are in China at The Beijing National Stadium and kick-off is at 1pm UK time. Coverage of the game is live on ESPN or Arsenal Player. Then a bit later in the day we have the Olympic Opening Ceremony and if […]
Today really is a slow news day. We discussed the squad numbers yesterday and how poor old Lukas Podolski has yet to be given his, well we all know why don’t we? Of course we do, he is going to get Dennis Bergkamp’s old number 10 as soon as it’s freed up this month or […]
First up is the news about Emmanuel Frimpong, he’s in trouble with the FA after a tweet to a Tottenham fan calling him ‘Scum Yid’. This was of course in reply to the same fan’s tweet which said ‘I prayed you break your arms and legs’. I can understand why Frimpong would get pretty narked […]
I come from a country where there is so much inequality. So much so that only few people in the country can afford what you really call a necessity i.e. modern medicine facilities, nutritious food etc. The reason for a lot of this is down to a corrupt government and, its by and large corrupt […]
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. […]
