Arsenal old boy Frank McLintock has been talking about our summer signings and he’s less than impressed! In an interview with The Daily Star he’s reported as saying: I’m sorry to say it but I’m not impressed with the names Arsene has brought in. If we’d signed Arteta two seasons ago I would have said […]

A good boxer doesn’t have to hit the hardest. He can defend and work openings with various combinations, mannerisms that give the opponent a false sense of security and by using his sheer class and power. Ali got easily beat by Ken Naughton then in a second fight beat him unsensationally over a points decision, […]
How many times have we all sat back watching our team lose their way on the pitch, moaning that there is no leadership out there?? Well, now there is no excuse, not that there was really before: Yossi Benayoun – Israel Captain Aaron Ramsey – Wales Captain Andrey Arshavin – Russia Captain Thomas Vermaelen – […]
Morning all, For all those supporters that have been cursing our Manager Arsene Wenger, about how he buys talent and new players, perhaps you will now start to understand how this manager works. He started off the summer by bringing in Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jenkinson, they were additions to what was in my view a […]
At last, no more kids it seems but why did Arsene leave it until now to show some kind of ambition? Anyway, better late than never but just think if he’d done all he seems to be doing now, back in July… Ok, I’ll stop moaning now…. But 😉 So, Chu Young Park has signed, […]
Here we are then; it’s down to the next 38 hours, give or take an hour or so! After that, we will all know the squad we have and who Wenger has at his disposal each week, depending on bans and injury of course! Most fans hoped that we’d know that clearly by now and […]
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 […]
