Morning Gooners, If there are still any out there! I was shocked by the result at Old Trafford but what did we really expect fielding a team without suspended Gervinho and Song and Frimpong and injured Vermaelen, Sagna and Gibbs? Now we have lost Jenkinson! We have played 3 Premier league games, conceded 10 goals […]

The Ladies are in Liverpool today to for their last fixture in the Womens Super League, a win will ensure they create history and win the first ever trophy of this league. The home fixture between the two sides saw a comfortable 3-0 victory for the Ladies but their manager Laura Harvey has warned her […]
Frank Stapleton was one of my favourite players. I loved the guy, great in the air, two good feet, never stopped working for the team, the complete centre-forward. Many Arsenal fans had doubts about him when he first came into the side as a raw-boned 18/19 year old but I’d seen him in the Stiffs […]
Reports are coming out that Arsenal have entered into the race for French teenager M’Baye Niang. He’s supposed to be one of the best young players right now in Europe. He’s playing in Caen’s first-team already and he’s only 16 years old. The 6ft striker his first-team debut in April this year and scored three […]
If you believe The Daily Star this morning, Wenger is reported to have told Robin van Persie he is happy with his current squad! The report is from a source in Holland although it’s probably from 2004! 😉 Young Guns report that Arsenal have agreed to sign Olney Soccer Club midfielder Gedion Zelalem, following a […]
An extract from David Winner “Brilliant Orange”. The current generation of Dutch footballers are polite, intelligent, modest, ironic, ‘ideal sons-in-law’. They aspire to being great artists. Yet the genuinely greatest Dutch football artists – the stars of the Total Football era in the 1970s – had a very different agenda. They were only trying to […]
The saying that it never rains but it pours is an apt description of our opening start to the season! I’m just a normal guy and no expert in the way that football decisions are dealt out but over the last few seasons, I have noticed a lot more decisions going against us than for […]
The latest story doing the rounds relates to our young Spanish defender Ignasi Miquel; suggestion is that Owen Coyle wants him on loan for a season… Great news for the newly crowned Euro Cup winner and it could be great news for us… Every man and his dog know that a high percentage of Arsenal […]
Before I discuss last nights events, permit me to wish our erstwhile former midfielder-cum-right back, jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none all the best in his new gig at Galatasaray S.K. I know Eboue is not everybody’s cup of tea; indeed, some of his theatrics and histrionics irritated me to no end. With it all, however, I always saw a […]
Well that’s it then, Senor Cesc Fabregas has passed his medical, kissed the badge, posed for the photos in front of that tawdry Barcelona Badge, said the right PR comments and is now probably house-hunting in the posh suburbs of the Catalan capital. He was the captain of Arsenal for four years, the leader on […]
As Captain of course ? 😉 As with all teams from time to time, Arsenal now need to pick their new captain. AFC.Com have confirmed that Cesc Fabregas will move to Barcelona as long as he passes his medical. Thank goodness this saga has come to an end and I wish him well. We will […]
I’m sure every football fan in England, barring Arsenal fans of course, probably expect us to suffer the first of many losses today and actually, I suspect that a few Arsenal fans feel we won’t get all three points in the bag away from home. Well, not this one. All the news in the sporting […]
