Monreal debut. Time to gel, time to play and time to give the fans something to cheer…..

Morning all, Well this is it folks, this is the squad we have until the summer. Diaby is fit, Arteta is back in the squad for today’s game and of course, Fabianski is almost ready to return. Coquelin is also very close to returning but Gibbs, well his return is like a open flight ticket. […]

Cazorla suffers problem in training. Villa deal takes a turn for the worse & beware of the wounded….

Morning all, A ‘light’ post this morning, well the start of it….. Just what is Santi up to and why is David Beckham laughing so much? Wouldn’t you love to know? Whatever his problem, it didn’t go away! And nor will the rest of the problems go away by the sound of it. According to […]

Biggest hint yet that a defensive midfielder is set to sign? A Bright'n Cheerful day ahead?

Morning all… I read that Wenger is moaning about what Alan Pardew has done in this transfer window and the fact that only a few clubs will have to face his new rejuvenated side. Funny enough, we are one of them. I don’t recall him saying that we were also one of the fortunate ones to have […]

We play better football than the Invincibles & Time to 'Man Up' says Wenger……

Morning all, Chelsea up today then and it’s a good time to face them isn’t it? They sit third as we go into today’s clash but their record at Stamford Bridge is not so good this season. They have played seven, won two, drawn three and lost two! Wenger believes that to win more fixtures and become […]

Sagna blames players for form & Arsenal could be Premier League Champions, IF………

If they had half the determination and commitment as one of my chickens! Seriously, clipped wings and a six foot fence doesn’t stop her jumping out of their ‘space’! Most people I know who keep chickens manage to contain theirs without the need of such a high surround but just one of mine seems hell bent on […]

A 'Wee Northern Side' visit & reports suggest THREE new signings in January..

Morning all. Pat Rice has been awarded an MBE in the Queens New Years Honours List and Wenger is thrilled:  I am absolutely delighted because if someone deserves it, it’s Pat Rice. He had 100 per cent genuine commitment every day and you respect that when you see that from somebody, and he is someone […]

Clause in Emirates deal will put the pressure on & another 3 points scraped….

It took a soft penalty decision awarded to us and a couple turned down for Wigan to get all three points but right now, do we honestly care? Walcott didn’t dive, he just stumbled over after being gently caught from behind and as for the Wigan claims for handball, well blame the ref for that. Just as […]

Arsenal Manager Quits, David Villa linked & Spare a thought for our fans at Wigan…

Morning all, Start with today’s gossip: Arsenal are ‘exploring an audacious swoop for Barcelona striker David Villa’ according to The Daily Mail. The cunning plan is a loan until the end of the season and if all goes well, we’re going to try for a permanent deal. Apparently Villa is getting fed up with warming the bench […]

Should we trust Jack Wilshere? Time to players to stand up and be counted………

Morning all, We’ve heard from George Graham, Ray Parlour, Stewart Robson, Gary Neville and even Jeff Stelling has had a few words to say on the ‘should he stay or go’ debate…. But forget all of those, what about the current players, what do they think? Surely they are some of the most important people […]

Wenger taking Div 4 side seriously but injuries stacking up…..

Are you ready to Rock n’ Roll Gooners? Because it’s back, yes, It’s the League Cup again tonight and on the menu are Bradford City, a team that Arsenal have never faced in this competition. In fact, the Bantam’s are a club who Arsenal have faced on very few occasions and only ever in three previous cup-ties which were […]
