Another replay tonight, this one is in the FA Cup against Leyton Orient just in case you had forgotten.We don’t seem to be able to kill off sides who sit below us in the league do we? Leeds, Ipswich, Orient – oh but hang on, we managed to beat Huddersfield.. Didn’t we? We have many […]

So the day is finally here, it’s Carling Cup Final day and for the first time since 2007 we are taking part but for every Arsenal Player and fan, today is not about just ‘taking part’. Today is about winning, it’s about Arsene Wenger outwitting Alex McLeish, the Arsenal players playing better than Birmingham, us […]

Well our young Polish keeper says he’s a bit mad and with it comes great belief in himself and the team ahead of Sunday. This time last season we were all crying out for a new goal keeper, both Almunia and Fabianski were displaying their weaknesses – every keeper linked to us raised hope but […]

December 18th 2010, Stoke were heading to The Emirates to face us in the Premier League but the weather put pay to that fixture. We had not long found out that we had been drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League and near on everyone wrote us off as soon as their name came out […]

Well, what can I say, you wait for what seems forever and its over in 90 minutes. Yes I’m talking Champions League and I’m well aware we are only at half time but the euphoria that I have been experiencing lasted one day and an evening of ups and downs. But that’s gone now for […]

Ding Ding, Round One!! When we lost our match in Portugal against Braga and on hearing Shaktar had won I knew from that moment that we could meet Barca. There was a sense of inevitability about it and the draw made in December confirmed what I believed would happen. Then came the media hype… Quite […]

Just how long have we been waiting to hear the news on injuries to Samir Nasri, Johan Djourou and Alex Song?? All we get is a snippet here and there from other Arsenal blogs saying they are back in training, Twitter comments from the players saying they are fine but we never get the updates […]

The last few days have been all about the match against Everton and who said what or not to whom. Reality is Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have said the book is closed on the incident and that’s probably a good thing too. The FA say there is no case to answer so let’s put it […]

Yep, the transfer window is now shut, no last-minute surprises for Arsenal fans and that’s the last time I include any rumours about us buying players, well, that is until the summer of course 😉 While Chelsea were splashing the cash, Liverpool were following suit. Arsenal, well they just confirmed the signing of Ryo Miyaichi […]

Ok, a bit tongue in cheek about Steve Bould. According to old favourite Paul Merson, a little while back the two of them were sat talking about the up and coming players at Arsenal and Merse asked who was going to be the ones to watch. Bouldy said: We’ve got this boy called Jack, he’s […]

If we win tonight and book our place on the big stage in London, with it will come confidence, belief and momentum. Should we fall short we could suffer a massive knock mentally and our form could dip. That’s not me being negative of pessimistic that’s just telling it as it could be. Remember what […]
