Last month David Dein suggested that Wenger may have had enough of Arsenal and was ready to walk away. Wenger quickly rebuffed Dein’s view by saying: David is not right. I will one day prove to you my loyalty by showing what I have turned down to stay here. You will be surprised. You can […]

AFC.Com has been full of updates and comments about all things football… Makes a change I suppose…. Firstly, it’s been confirmed that we will play in our home colours against Blackburn and Szczesny will therefore be wearing grey – personally I prefer him in pink. 😉 Yossi has obviously impressed Arsene Wenger as he said […]
For the first time in a while Theo Walcott has a player breathing down his neck for a starting right in the side and for the first time in a long while I am believing it’s time for Theo to have his butt placed on the bench just to remind him that he needs to […]
September 13, 2011: Signal Iduna Park (aka Westfalenstadion) After the relief of our win at Udinese a couple of weeks ago, we only had a little time to exhale prior to the start of the competition proper. And so this evening we opened this season’s Champions League group phase with a visit to the home […]
Robin van Persie is obviously struggling with his mathematics… Arsenal did not sign five players this summer, we signed NINE. 😛 Eight of which are ready to play in this current side, the only one missing is Campbell…. He’s been talking about our ‘five’ deadline day summer signings and how they bring experience to the […]
It already seems that our last fixture was more than two weeks ago; perhaps that is not such a bad thing. Ideally, we would have gotten back into action within a few days but, as the football calendar would have it, we’ve had to sit and stew over it… A frantic final few days of […]
How many other sides will be saying that today? Probably none! Vermaelen, Gervinho, Song, Jenkinson, Wilshere, Santos, Diaby, Squillaci and maybe Rosicky will all be out for today’s fixture, that’s a whole lot of absentees but the good news is that after today, five of them will be back for the PL fixtures ahead. Park […]
I wrote a post a little while ago suggesting that we are somewhat harshly treated by the Footballing Authority and the referees who act on their behalf. Only three weeks into the new season and we have already suffered a staggering number of suspensions while other teams more physical than us are receiving none. I […]
It is like before the first day at school. Now I have a new challenge in a new country, a new style of play and a new language and I am ready for it. That’s the big 6’ 6” central defender speaking as he’s ready so say his goodbyes in Germany and head for pastures […]
Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi has spoken out about our young feisty midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong and has been bold in suggesting they have secured his services on the International front. Recently Frimpong had been called up by Stuart Pearce for the England under 21’s but he withdrew from the squad citing a foot injury. […]
So, what some feared has now become reality, Thomas Vermaelen has suffered an injury and has ungone an operation on his Achilles, he’s expected to be out for at least a month. Forgive me if I am cynical but that’s what we were told last season and we all know what happened then don’t we! […]
Morning all, Apart from being a nutcase Arsenal supporter, I’m also a keen Golfer and recently I was invited to play in a team game of four in a club competition we call Texas Scramble. Close to 30 teams had entered and looking at our team of four I fancied our chances… The Texas Scramble’s […]
