Yep, Laura Harvey and her Gals have now won their third Cup in a season. Yesterday’s 4-1 victory over Birmingham Ladies, a side they have not beaten all season, secured the Continental Cup. They had already won the Women’s Super League and the FA Cup, so a nice Domestic Treble in the bag for another […]

So says Owen Coyle ahead of our battle with Bolton tomorrow. In fact, the criticism Arsene has received is absolutely ridiculous. He is one of the best managers in world football. Always has been. Always will be. The nature of the league we are in, with its global coverage, is that everybody has an opinion […]
Two stories to talk about today, the first has to be the biggest load of poppycock I have ever read – and that is Joey ‘Thug’ Barton reckons he was in with a chance of signing for us and he’d been in talks with Arsene Wenger in August. He goes on to suggest that the […]
ARSENAL FC 3 – 1 SHREWSBURY TOWN FC September 20, 2011: Emirates Stadium Just a week after our heroic Champions League effort in Dortmund, we kicked this season’s Carling Cup off with a visit from Second Division Shrewsbury Town. Not the most difficult assignment – certainly not like last season, where we had an immediate […]
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 […]
