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 […]

Morning Gooners. A 7-3 victory but there’s still cause for concern. Would we have still turned on the style at the end had Newcastle been a team without so many injuries, or one who had more strength on the bench or indeed one who had not played just a few days before? Sounds like us […]

‘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 […]

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 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 […]
