Bould's 'spat'! Every picture tells a story! Three points, but didn't we make a meal of it!

Morning all, What a meal we made of that fixture! Why do we do it to ourselves eh, is it nerves, lack of confidence, lack of belief in each other or simply lack of guidance on the training pitch? I don’t know, but whatever it is, it needs to be rid of or rectified. If […]

Vermaelen to Barca & Moyes set to replace Wenger? Lowest crowd ever witness a shameful day for Arsenal Football Club!!

Morning all, Two rumours to begin with. One is that Barcelona are interested in signing Thomas Vermaelen in the summer, the second is David Moyes is being touted to replace Arsene Wenger, that is of course, according to The Daily Mail. Vermaelen, well if we do business with Barcelona ever again we must be mad but if […]

We wanted to see 'proper' defending, we got what we wanted!!

Morning all, Well it all started wrong didn’t it when Koscielny broke down in the warm up which meant Arsene Wenger was forced into making an early change. We lined up – including subs: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Jenkinson, Monreal, Arteta, Wilshere (Diaby 50), Ramsey, Walcott (Miquel 87), Giroud, Cazorla. Subs Not Used: Mannone, Rosicky, Podolski, Oxlade-Chamberlain. […]

Foy, Pullis & Shawcross. Their shocking performances couldn't deprive us of a deserved three points…

Morning all. Let’s open with a comment from Tony Pullis after the game: The disappointing thing for me was the number of Arsenal players that surrounded the linesman. I thought that was something you couldn’t do. If he has given the right decision, he has given the right decision. You take it on the chin and […]

Diaby games? Defender could sign today, but then again, I bet one doesn't!

Morning all, Surprised by the omission of Diaby? I was but I guess had Diaby started and got injured, Wenger probably knows he’d have to sign a replacement on transfer deadline day. Or am I just being far too cynical? We were undone. Not by skill, not by wonderful football and not by anything other […]

Wenger to Madrid? Diame confirms he's ready to join us & into the next round of the FA Cup, just!

Morning all….. We were good in patches and were pretty awful in patches too. Our defending was shocking as usual. Santos is just a walking liability and should never be allowed anywhere near an Arsenal shirt again. He is like a cart horse and every attack down their right caused us problems. He was either […]

Edinson Cavani linked as Arsenal reported to be set to break the bank……

Morning all, According to the author of Ashburton Grove, two things are set to take place real soon. The first is the conclusion to the Theo Walcott deal and it’s expected he will commit to Arsenal for a few years and the second is that the club are about to make a signing. It must […]

Arsenal living up to expectations…..

Morning Gooners, Last nights game lived up to my expectations! Visitors Manchester City turned up with what can only be called a depleted team, many of their star players were either injured, suspended or away on International duty. Apart from Rosicky and Koscielny, we were at full strength. Many thought that Arsenal being at home and playing a […]

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way…….

‘Oh what fun it is to see, Arsenal win away………’ That’s what the Arsenal fans were merrily singing as the game came to an end last night. They were superb yet again, they didn’t give up for the entire match… The night belonged to Santi Cazorla who bagged his first hat-trick for Arsenal. Lukas Podolski gave us the lead […]
