Well well, if you believe the news doing the rounds in Spain, Jose Mourinho wants Gael Clichy at Real Madrid and he’s prepared to offer Karim Benzema to get his man. Not a like for like swap I know but right now, the way Clichy is playing would it be such a bad deal? Gibbs […]

Firstly, good luck to Steve Palmer, one of our regular bloggers has started his own site. To take a peep, follow the link. http://palmerstactics1.blogspot.com/ Yesterday we all felt dreadful after the 1-0 thrashing by the Mancs, our resident blogger Rennie posted a very poignant question…. We all know what ails us, but how do we cure it? Whats […]
I’ve just seen that the Mr Ego of the refereeing world, Howard Webb is our official for the Monday night fixture at Old Trafford. I truly think he is up there with some of the worst we have seen in recent years yet he’s supposed to be the best the English Premier League has on […]
On a weekend that sees us not involved in a league match, the gloves are off and the fighting talk has begun ahead of Monday nights fixture against the Mancs. It’s no shock to hear Patrice Evra begin the wars of words either, he’s a nasty little man who always has something to say about Arsenal. I […]
Wednesday night showed that Theo Walcott can be at his best when he doesn’t have so much time to think. His control and finish was sheer class and well done to him too – the game needed something and he gave it that night. When he sits on the wing and gets surrounded by defenders […]
News broke yesterday that Thomas Vermaelen won’t play another game for Arsenal this year, in fact he won’t play until well into 2011 which is dreadful news. Also, suggestion is that Koscielny is out until then too. However, as much as I wish both of them, especially Vermaelen, were fit and healthy enough to face […]
He is just awesome! Two wonderful goals, what a signing he is proving to be. Nasri has been one of our best players this season but yesterday he surpassed his usual standards. Just before the quarter of an hour mark on Saturday afternoon, he left two Fulham players on their butts before drilling home our first […]
Back to the Premier League today and a nice tasty fixture against a side that are floating around the relegation places. I used to enjoy watching Fulham under Roy Hodgson but now under Mark Hughes they are just another side who I hope we tear apart and embarrass. No doubt they will arrive at The […]
It won’t stop the rumour mill will it….. Over the last few weeks, months, we have all pondered over what is in store for Carlos Vela. He made a rare start on Tuesday in the Carling Cup and despite missing a few chances which appeared easier to score than miss, it was pretty clear to […]
November 2001 and all that, the 4-2 reverse by Charlton at Highbury sparked a winning revolution at the club that would see us win 2 Premier Leagues, 3 FA Cups, culminating in our brave defeat to Barcelona at the Stade de France in May 2006. Little was I to know as I sat slumped at the Herbert Chapman […]
We all know Nikki B has been chopsing about how good he is, how he should be playing instead of Chamakh and if Wenger doesn’t play him he’ll find enough club etc etc etc but while all this is going on you just have to spare a thought for Johan Djourou. Once a defensive midfielder […]
Yep, I mean it, that’s just how I feel about Cesc Fabregas Take a look at his body language; his slowness during a game, his half-hearted free kicks and wayward shots, his constant fouling as if he wants a red card just to get a ban and he so often ‘demands’ the ball despite being in a position which gains […]
