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 […]

Tongue in cheek of course, for those of you old enough, you remember this guy? For those of you not old enough to remember him, Desperate Dan is a wild west character from British comic The Dandy. He first appeared in December 1937. He is apparently the world’s strongest man, able to lift a cow […]
It seems the long draw out Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona saga could finally come to an end today as reports suggest we have agreed to accept just under £36 Million for our Spanish midfielder. There are mixed reports about add-ons included in the deal and for the next five years Fabregas will pay Arsenal just […]
Double post this morning, a bit from me and a bit from Steve Palmer – I think you will know who wrote which bit…. 😉 Well, what a good move from our Manager, the Champions League squad was announced yesterday and I think I’m right in saying that all those who want to leave were […]
Well well, finally we dipped into the market yesterday and surprisingly with great speed! No sooner had Sky Sports announced that Alex Chamberlain was having a medical we heard he’d agreed terms and signed a long-term deal. I think he is cracking signing, but as I said yesterday, if we have spent £12 – £15 […]
Reports suggest we could sign the following three players this week…. Scott Dann Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain Per Mertesacker And all that is meant to take place BEFORE we lose Nasri and Fabregas…. Don’t shoot the messenger; that is the news in the Arsenal Blog World….. Do you believe it?? No, nor do I. Would you be […]
Yesterday I wrote about fickle fans and supporting through the thick and thin times, only to be guilty of slagging my own team off by the end of last night. For that mad hour or so I apologise, as I must admit after watching the game against Benfica I was more than upset. I’m going […]
I was talking to an old pal of mine the other day, hadn’t seen him for in ages. We used to play golf together and he was a right card in those day’s, once he started you would be in stitches for ages but although I’d known him for years, we never really got on […]
Kyle Bartley headed off up north yesterday as he agreed to join Rangers on a season long loan, as much as many of us didn’t want him to go, it will do him the world of good and he’ll come back a stronger player than he would if he sat on the bench for us […]
Nigel Winterburn has spoken bout that little r**t Barton and from what he say’s, I’m not sure that he would be too keen to see him playing in a read and white shirt: I think you know that he’s got that competitive edge on the pitch and occasionally it’s going to let him down and […]
As the Summer Window speeds to its conclusion on August 31st, most Gooners are concentrating their attention on the acquisition of new players but what of those talented members of the squad we already have and enjoy? And what does 2011-12 hold in store for them and us?? Jack Wilshere is the cream of the […]
No more will I listen to anything said by Spanish reporters Guillem Balague and Graham Hunter. Nor will I read anything they write with any belief in their ‘stories’. Over the last seven/eight seasons we have listened to them link our players to Real Madrid and Barcelona. We have had it with Vieira, Henry and […]
