Over the last few years, we Arsenal fans have not had much incentive to watch England play football, possibly not since the days of David Seaman and Ian Wright. All our team players were scattered around world playing for other international sides. Then in 2006, Arsene Wenger invested a lot of money on Theo Walcott […]

Our first tie of this calendar year’s Champions League competition, hosting the very team and favorites to win it all, the same side that eliminated us in the quarterfinals of last year’s competition. When this draw was made late last year, many (particularly in media) characterized it as effectively a bye for FC Barcelona. For […]
According to reports, poor old Barcelona were so so tired after playing out a 1-1 draw at the weekend, manager Pep Guardiola cancelled their Sunday training session. They were snuffed out in the midfield against Sporting Dijon meaning ‘Andres Iniesta and Xavi could not play their football’. Well, if they were that good they should […]
As you take your seat in our fine Emirates Stadium, probably the last thing on your mind is the turf and the unsung heroes behind it. The view is superb where ever you are in the ground. By the time you have found your seat and got yourself comfortable, no doubt its only then that […]
With the England side full of old boys these days, Gerrard, Terry, Lampard, Ferdinand, Barry etc, our young players are not only waiting to make the breakthrough for their club but soon they will be pushing a few old boys out of the England set up too. Already we have Walcott as a regular but […]
I can understand if Wenger doesn’t buy a central midfielder in the summer, I really can. I think he should have bought one before now but things are rapidly changing at the club. Firstly and I know we have covered this before but had Frimpong not suffered such an injury I am sure that Wenger […]
Most of you would have guessed who I am talking about but for those who haven’t I’m talking about Henri Lansbury. He’s a player who I love to watch and just pray that one day he gets the kind of chance under Arsene Wenger as others get, regardless of their performances each game. I know […]
Can you believe some of the refereeing decisions that we see week in and week out, I for one cannot. I was led to believe that football is run on a set of rules, where offside is offside, handball is handball and so on. Those rules have been tampered with so that a simple rule […]
Cheer up fellow Gooners. I understand how you all feel. I am still in absolute shock about Saturday’s result. I woke up thinking about it and I have just finished watching the re-run on Football First. It wasn’t an enjoyable watch. But we have to forget about it, because if you are all totally honest […]
I’m going to touch on this briefly as it’s been written and talked about since Tuesdays game but I worry about what appears to be a witch hunt against our Captain! It started back in February 2007 when Arsenal faced Blackburn – a boring 0-0 result at The Emirates when Mark Hughes parked the usual […]
Ok, before anyone starts shouting about how an injury to any player can be good news let alone Nasri, please read the rest first. We all know that Samir Nasri is one of the first names to be on the team sheet for Arsene Wenger this season, his form has been outstanding and he always […]
Yesterdays post was all about Herbert Chapman and today a few newspapers a running articles on the great man, I have taken two extracts from one of them. Why don’t you like close passing? ‘Usually the ball merely travels across the field, and perhaps back again, without any advantage being gained. I want the best […]
