Cesc Fabregas, your comments are embarrassing, don’t blame Ipswich for our loss….

I still feel pretty naffed off after the lacklustre display our team put out in the semi-final of the Carling Cup. No doubt the ‘real’ Arsenal fans feel the same. Arsene Wenger has blamed fatigue for our loss, which is outrageous bearing in mind how many of those who played had been rested but at […]

Arshavin on his way out? Two crocked but we are only buying one! Let’s get a toe on the Wembley turf tonight…

Andrey Arshavins agent has suggested that Juventus are interested in taking our little Russian to play in Italy this month. This one’s quite interesting as no matter which article I click on for more information, it’s gone. Draw from that what you wish 😉 Onto something we all know anyway, Sebastian Squillaci is out for […]

Wengers beautiful game, could it be our downfall?

The beautiful game has been Arsene Wengers dream way of playing for many years, slick quick passing, team mates moving like a well oiled gearbox, synchronised meshing, often making lesser teams seem as if they are running around like headless chickens.  Media, Pundits, Managers and players all agree that when Arsenal play like this its […]

Vermaelen set-back, Squillaci out for weeks, Henry back and is Wenger getting it all wrong??

To start with, resting players in great numbers has started to be the norm for Arsenal. Arsene believes that with a big squad, it’s important to rotate the players so that they do not physically wear out, he believes that this method could and should keep players sharp and fitter, prolonging the player’s careers. Well […]

Defenders future in the balance as Wenger eyes replacement, Time for Wilshere to get a rest?

According to Arsene Wenger the next two weeks are crucial for Thomas Vermaelen. The player is very close to returning to training with the rest of the squad following his Achilles injury. He’s been ‘close’ before but has suffered setbacks, this time though should he break down again, Wenger has got to find cover for […]

Bowyer review, Wengers 'New Signing' and Arsenal Legend taking steps into management .

Today the FA staff should return to their posh leather seats, sit drinking posh fizzy water in the way that only they do and one of their first jobs should be to review our match ‘lowlights’ from the Birmingham game. Arsene Wenger hasn’t had too much to say about the incident and I don’t blame him either, the […]

Out for twelve months but life went on in grass roots football, are those days over?

If your one for statistics, or Arsenal memory reminders, then this post is probably not for you but if you have sport in your blood and anything football rings your bell, this could just be up your street. I’ll start off with how this idea came to me and try not to bore you to much. After […]

Is Arsene Wenger just ‘Holding back The Flood’??

Ok, I am a self-confessed Take That fan and for me the best thing that happened in the music world this year was Robbie swallowing his pride and going back to sing with others and reform the original group. But yes, this is a football blog, no, not just a football blog, it’s an Arsenal blog […]

What to make of George Graham – having a laugh, or one too many Malts??

George Graham played for us from 1966 – 1972 before moving to Manchester United, he came back to manage us in the late eighties, his reign 1986 – 1995, some believe he’s still one of our best. During that time he made sure we became a side that didn’t concede many goals; his defensive style earned us […]
