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 […]
I read this article yesterday afternoon and my heart sunk! Arsene Wenger has apparently given no assurances to any of our three goal keepers about who will play or when. Manuel Almunia, who is not far away from being fit and therefore in contention for the gloves again has been told he needs to fight […]
It’s Friday and it’s the rumour catch up day. I’ll start with the defender, Phillipe Mexes. He’s currently at Roma but his contract is up at the end of the season. In January he is free to talk to clubs about a move and Wenger is supposed to be very keen to sort a deal […]
I’m still feeling pretty raw over the way we performed on Sunday and after chewing the cud, some of the players Wenger played makes little sense. Robin van Persie was risked as we know and yesterday it became clear that Cesc Fabregas was a bit of a risk too. Wenger on RVP – We pushed him in […]
During the summer, I along with many Arsenal fans was desperate to see Arsene Wenger sign a new goal keeper. Almunia didn’t fill us with confidence and when he had been injured Lukasz Fabianski stepped in and in all honesty he was worse! We were linked with Mark Schwarzer from Fulham, a 38-year-old who has had […]
Great news came out of the club yesterday that Jack Wilshere signed a new ‘long term’ contract. Yes, we all knew he probably would but it’s good when its official, all we need now is for Szczesny to follow in his footsteps. Last week, K-TR7 highlighted an excellent article about the psychology within football and especially at Arsenal. […]
Piers Morgan, one of the sports writers for the Daily Mail has hung his writing boots up and moved on to pastures new. I shall miss his articles, not only were they written through the eyes of a Gooner but they were very open, honest and from his heart. I know he’s not everyone’s cup […]
