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. […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
