Many Arsenal fans, myself in included, wanted Arsene Wenger to take the Capital One Cup seriously and he did. Could he really have fielded a much stronger starting eleven? (on paper and injuries allowing) Maybe a few of us would say Arteta should have started, or Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right instead of Ramsey and maybe then Ramsey […]

Morning all, Snippets first up: According to The Daily Mirror, Arsene Wenger has added midfielder Luis Gustavo to his wanted list for next month’s transfer window. The 6′ 2″ Brazilian defensive midfielder/centre back is reported to be anxious for a move away from Bayern Munich. He only joined them in 2011 so unless he’s really unhappy, I can’t see […]
Morning all Here’s the team line up, including the timing of substitutions. Wojciech Szczesny, Per Mertesacker, Thomas Vermaelen, Bacary Sagna, Laurent Koscielny (Kieran Gibbs, 4), Aaron Ramsey (Gervinho, 80), Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Theo Walcott, Santiago Cazorla (Francis Coquelin, 91), Olivier Giroud Surprisingly, Wenger favoured Vermaelen at left back than Gibbs for this fixture, whether that was down to fitness or not, I don’t know. […]
Few bits of gossip this morning before yesterday’s match review. The Mail on Sunday reckon we are going to make a shock £10 million move for Liverpool’s out-of-favour winger Stewart Downing. Well if that happens, I think every Arsenal fan will be in more than shock. He was well over priced at £20 million, and […]
Morning folks, Here’s how we lined up, with substitutions included: Szczesny; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen; Arteta, Wilshere; Oxlade-Chamberlain (Ramsey 69), Cazorla ((Coquelin 84), Podolski; Giroud (Gervinho 84). Booked: Cazorla, Giroud, Koscielny. Goals: Wilshere 49, Podolski 63. We started off sloppily. But we still have one game left. We need to finish top. The first half was hard. […]
Morning Gooners… So, yesterday, the NLD, the game we all wanted to win and Thierry Henry flew in to offer his support. Now there is a man who could win NLD’s on his own… Sat just a few rows in front of him was Big Sol, would we be sat thinking about how we desperately need […]
Morning Gooners, Two points dropped or one hard-earned?? After the weekend’s shirt-swapping saga at Manchester United, Andre Santos was spared any further abuse from the travelling fans. His bum was firmly parked on the subs bench as Thomas Vermaelen switched to left back, Koscielny coming in alongside Mertesacker. Theo Walcott finally got a start too, shock […]
Bit of gossip to start with, Monaco striker Ibrahima Toure admits he would welcome the opportunity to test himself in England, possibly with us: Playing in the Premier League is my dream. That is my wish. Would I stay if I have offers from England next summer? It will depend on what the club officials […]
On a night of pulsating emotions, one which only Arsenal could manage to put its fans through, the Gunners managed to make the mother of all comebacks. From 4-0 down after 37 minutes and with all Arsenal fans fearing the worst, somehow, the team managed to claw its way back from the dead to win […]
Morning Gooners, Well the best part of yesterday was the return of our proper number 10, Jack Wilshere and what a return it was. No matter how many times Qpr tried to kick him or foul him, up he got and onwards he went. He was always at the heart of our midfield. Bacary Sagna […]
We all know that is how long it took for us to have a shot on target and that came from a 17-year-old German called Serge Gnabry, a player I really hope we can keep hold of because he is going to be good, very very good. No matter how many experienced, international players we had on […]
Here goes Gooners: Norwich were without a win so far this season, so we Gunners fans approached today, confident of continuing our impressive start of this campaign but this wasn’t the team that I witnessed showing resolve and fight against Stoke RFU. This wasn’t the team that I saw out-thinking, out playing and dominating Liverpool. This wasn’t […]
