Morning Gooners. Doesn’t it make you just laugh, the so called ‘expert pundits’ on ESPN start discussing what is ahead for the day and the presenter can’t even pronounce the name of our little Spaniard. Santi Corzola he called him, how ignorant is that? I sat there telling the television, it’s CAZORLA, it’s b****y CAZORLA!!! (yes […]

And in my opinion, that is it. Two set pieces, two defensive howlers and two goals….! Koscielny, in for Mertesacker, played a part in both and the way he performed yesterday made me wonder if he had been skipping training!! That was not the kind of kind of performance we are used to seeing from […]
Arsenal started the game with the following line up: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Arteta, Coquelin, Cazorla, Chamberlain, Podolski, Gervinho. Subs were Mannone (very unfair I must say), Koscielny, Santos, Walcott, Ramsey, Arshavin and Giroud. The Saints rode into town in a happy mood. They had narrowly lost to both the Manchester sides with the […]
Good Morning Gooners…. Start with some really good news, almost as good as picking up 3 points at Anfield. Arsene Wenger on Jack Wilshere: I would still give him a month. But it looks very good. In a month he should be starting to play again. There’s going to be a real fight for a […]
Morning Gooners, Not the best start yesterday, in fact I’d say it’s the worst start we could have had. Not the draw itself and certainly not the fact that we kept a clean-sheet but we didn’t score. All that has done is fed Fleet Street’s finest this morning and they are loving it. Of course […]
Morning all, Just thought I would share a photo: It couldn’t have started better could it, Robin made a tackle just inside the Baggies half and the ball cannoned back towards the home side keeper Fulop – well, Fulop saw the ball heading his way and came out to meet it but instead of hoofing […]
Morning Gooners, Arsenal 3 Norwich 3 neutrals would say a hard-fought game. Arsenal went ahead on 65 seconds through Yossi Benayoun with a wonderful solo goal curled into the top corner. The goal didn’t faze Norwich, they surged forward as if they knew that the Arsenal defence would be breached at any minute and of […]
Morning all, Facing Stoke away from home on a bleak, cold and murky afternoon did not make great conditions for an important game such as this. Stoke kicked off and we started with conviction, looking like a side that was really up for this game! We harried the Stoke players and closed them down quickly […]
Go on, admit it, when Theo Walcott hobbled off with what looked like a hamstring injury, you were smiling and thinking thank goodness. Well I wasn’t, and watching Gervinho play in his position for the rest of the game, wasn’t enough to convince me otherwise. I seriously worry about out next three fixtures and our […]
Alan Pardew popped over to Holland to check out Vertonghen at the weekend, speculation is now rife that he heads the queue for hiring the services of the Belgian. However, fellow Ajax defender, Toby Alderweireld is also on the Newcastle managers wish list for the summer, lets hope it was him he was watching, knowing […]
This is how we lined up: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Benayoun, Walcott, Van Persie. Substitutes: Fabianski, Squillaci, Jenkinson, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Park. Three minutes on the clock and Robin had our first chance but his shot was saved by Hennessey in the Wolves goal. Then, with just eight minutes gone, Bassong […]
What a game, what a result eh? We lined up with the same starting eleven that battered Tottenham Hotspur, a good omen? As the game got underway, early touches by Clichy were greeted with jeers from our home fans, somewhat surprising I thought, especially as many fans were glad to see the back of him […]
