Well it’s not is it?? Whatever Arsene Wenger does these days, it simply isn’t going to be good enough for his many critics and among those critics are a sizeable number of Arsenal fans. Those fans and that’s what they are despite the fact that I disagree with them, have made up their minds about […]

Well that’s it then, Senor Cesc Fabregas has passed his medical, kissed the badge, posed for the photos in front of that tawdry Barcelona Badge, said the right PR comments and is now probably house-hunting in the posh suburbs of the Catalan capital. He was the captain of Arsenal for four years, the leader on […]
So, after several months of crazy football results Manchester United finally secured the Premier League Trophy yesterday. Well done to them I say! My own view though is that not one side in this English league ‘truly’ deserved to be crowned champions this season. Instead of it being a league about who would win the […]
No matter what happens I have to give him at least four weeks’ holiday. The [Under-21] tournament finishes at the end of June so he won’t come back until the end of July. That means he will not be ready to play at the start of August or maybe at the beginning of September. That […]
So there we all were back in February, thrilled that finally Arsenal had got themselves to Wembley for a Cup Final, desperate for us to beat Birmingham and get all the comments about winning a trophy off our back but all the time Wenger thought the Cup didn’t matter, it was not important. Maybe that […]
Yep, that’s how I see it. Beat Bolton today and mathematically we are still in with a chance of catching Manchester United, lose and it’s pretty much over in my book. The Chavs won last night so we need to win to keep up with them for second place. As for the chasing pack, b*****s […]
It’s looking pretty likely though in all honesty. Dirty ‘Arry (or should that be Dodgy Arry) has moved his side forward, while Wenger has taken ours backwards. Not much we can do about what we have in our squad right now but if Wenger has it in him to pick the right team and then get the team motivated […]
Pepe Reina gifted us a 1-1 by fumbling the ball into his own net on 90 minutes. That was the opening day of this season. Liverpool were down to ten men for the entire second half, Joe Cole having received a straight red card just prior to the interval. Dirk Kuyt gave Gael Clichy a […]
Come 5pm UK time today we’ll know the answer. Will the players who turn out today find some grit and fight inside them and show they want to win the Premier League or will they turn up because they have too and throw the towel in from the off? We’ll know soon enough and like […]
I was talking to a friend yesterday about our goalkeeping situation, wondering who Wenger’s going to bring in for cover. He suggested it would be Mad Jens! I just chuckled knowing he was joking. Sadly though, I now think he was being serious and all the paps today say Jens is ready to help out, […]
The past two weeks have not been the best for us gooners. In the CC final we were expected to win but our players froze in the occasion and pressed the self destruct button. It was a difficult pill to swallow. Against Sunderland we were dire to say the least and no matter what complaints […]
Yep, it’s true, Aaron Ramsey, who’s return will be classed as being ‘like a new signing’, could make his return today against Sunderland as Wenger has confirmed he’s in the squad. If he’s ready to play, I hope he’s in the first team, not just the squad! Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Thomas Vermaelen, Robin van […]
