Sometimes……. Firstly, what a weekend of sport, England looked down and out against South Africa in the Cricket World Cup but put in a top fielding performance to win against all odds – Wolves had to settle for a point off the Spuds when a win should have been the result. The Dippers beat the […]

Firstly, congratulations to the Arsenal team, a great result after our abysmal performance at Wembley. A five nil win against Leyton Orient was very emphatic and well deserved, the players were very focused and passed the ball about very effectively. A good one touch goal from a Rosicky fine run and a well executed cut […]
Today is another day, the media have had their moment, the players and fans have had time to get over the Sunday debacle, forget it! Now it’s time to re-group and focus on the last few months of the season. Yes, the Carling Cup defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for everyone with Arsenal’s […]
So then what we all feared has come true, Captain Cesc and Theo are out for Sunday and someone needs to take their place. Suggestion is that Cesc has 48 hours to beg Wenger to change his mind and let him play, so we may yet see a turn around. You know what it’s like, […]
Stoke at The Emirates is tomorrow night’s fixture. The hoofers, long throw ins, the ‘in yer face’ tackles will all be in the tactics dished out by Tony Pullis before the game I’m sure, all we need to do is keep the ball on the ground, find the perfect pass, find the perfect finish and […]
That is of course according to everyone other than fans of Arsenal. Barcelona sit top of the Spanish equivalent of the Scottish Premier League with 62 points, their nearest rival is Real Madrid who are on 57 points. In third place is Valencia on 47 points. Yep, just like the Scottish PL, the La Liga […]
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 […]
