We have all been wondering what to make of the absence of Andrey Arshavin, when was the last time he started a match? Over the last few weeks he hasn’t even made it onto the pitch from the bench either but today could see his return which suggests Wenger could rotate a little tonight. Talking […]

Ok, it’s Friday and after our fantastic victory on Wednesday night, I thought just a bit of fun today. Ex Spurs manager, Martin Jol brings his Fulham side to The Emirates tomorrow for another evening kick off. Jol has never managed a league victory against us I think in all his time of managing our […]
Well guys, I don’t know if you have seen the headlines in the last couple of days but if you have you would have seen that England is about to head into the real winter time and snow has been forecast. The areas predicted to be hit are London and the South East. Thursday is […]
Injuries are the bane of every football managers life, and also of us fans. Every club suffers from them, but there does seem a feeling among us Arsenal fans that our club has had the rough end of the injury stick more than most. Not withstanding Robin Van Persie, the player who has spent some […]
Morning all, Some of you may remember a recent post of mine “Thank goodness Wenger is not English” In that post I said that the FA made £2 – £3 million from England home games at Wembley and of course, some of our players are involved. I also said that, that risked our players to […]
Following the 3-0 success over West Bromich Albion in out last fixture, which feels like years ago now, Arsene Wenger attended the customary post-match Press conference and fended off the usual mixture of questions, be they sensible, mischief-making, constructive or inane, he answered with his usual calmness.

Imagine the following AFC team trotting out of the tunnel up one day…. Casillas, Alves, Pique, Chiellini, Cole; Xavi, Essien; Ronaldo, Fabregas, Messi; RVP. Coached by Arsene Wenger and playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Facing them would be one of the pauper English club newly promoted to the premier league with the following players in […]
This man had been able to stay fit for longer…. As we entered the first International break of the season, our dear friends in the Press/Media had a field day at our expense following a nasty result or two – players went off, no doubt feeling low and down on confidence but two weeks later, […]
Morning all, One week into the Internationals and no doubt all Arsenal supporters have turned attentions to your parent countries, some of you may not have too much interest in these fixtures, perhaps your county is not involved. If so, this second week will feel like a fortnight all over again. Maybe you have been […]
The Interlull, as it is commonly called now, what a total bore… It’s almost as bad as the Close Season and at times like these, many of us start to think back a little. I was sorting out some old papers recently and came across a couple of old newspaper cuttings i’d kept from 2006/07. […]
Ever since I have been supporting the AFC, that is, 37 odd years, I have always had a soft spot for those players who put their bodies on the line. Don’t get me wrong, I like those players who dazzle and mesmerise the crowds with their skills, however, I have always tended to prefer those […]
The Arsenal can boast about having many many supporters from every corner of the world and this next part of the post may or may not be of interest to you so I will apologise in advance, but for me this is very important. I know this has been in the press over the last […]
