Morning all. Transfer gossip today relates to a possible exit. Lukas Podolski is wanted by Galatasaray according to reports coming from Germany. He, along with Per Mertesacker return to training today although none are expected to feature in our opening match against Crystal Palace on Saturday evening. Wasn’t it lovely to see Pat Rice at Wembley […]
Morning all. Just a few weeks ago, Arsene Wenger told us that if Thomas Vermaelen leaves, he’ll sign a replacement. Thomas Vermaelen has now gone, he’s joined Barcelona and I strongly suspect that Wenger has known all along that was going to happen. Why else would he have not played any part of or pre-season? […]
Morning all. On this day back in 1998: Arsenal beat Man United 3-0 in the Charity Shield with Overmars, Wreh and Anelka scoring the goals….. Don’t forget the Highbury House Fantasy Football League. To access it, just go to the Highbury House league and use the PIN: 8071009 to log in.. Martin Keown has been giving his […]
Morning all. Fingers crossed the Champions League draw favours us this morning. One of Athletic Bilbao, FC Copenhagen, Lille, Besiktas and Standard Liege await us…. We’ve never won that competition but we have lifted the Community Shield trophy a few times and back in 2004 and on this very day, we battered Manchester United 3-1 with Reyes, […]
Morning all. Remember this day in back 1999 when we beat Leicester 2-1 at Highbury? Of course you do, it was debut day for the one of the best players, if not the best player Arsene Wenger has ever signed for Arsenal….. If only he could hop back a few years in time and start all […]
Morning all. Gossip first, Well looks like Barca have made an offer for TV but the mancs are still linked, I’d way prefer he was sold abroad although it’s a shame he doesn’t seem to want to stay and fight for his place. The need for a central midfielder continues and we’re linked with the […]
Morning all. Yet again the William Carvalho rumours notched up a gear last night when a few headlines suggested the players agent has been spotted in London as a deal is hoped to be thrashed out and completed. Whether there is any substance to these headlines remains to be seen but if they are true […]
Morning all. Well that was back down to earth with a bang wasn’t it. Saturday was what it was and there were many reasons to be cheerful having seen Sanogo finally break his duck and Campbell scoring a very good goal but sadly, that goal flurry didn’t continue yesterday whilst up against a strong Monaco […]
Morning all. First up, The Mirror believe Arsene Wenger is ready to go head to head with Manchester United for Mats Hummels. I like that story, I like that story very much and if true, surely the big German would prefer to be together with a few of his International team-mates, in the capital of […]
Morning all. Big expectations, big season ahead! Arsene Wenger faced the cameras yesterday and he’s in a buoyant mood: I would say the balance of power, in the Premier League, is a bit more even than it was five or six years ago. That’s because of Financial Fair Play, added to us having more financial power […]
Morning all. Did you know that on this day in 1999, when we beat Man U 2-1 in the Community Shield at Wembley, with Kanu & Parlour both scoring? Of course you did…. Next weekend of course, we face the other Manchester side in the same Cup, a day which should show us fans just how much […]
The Australian male Bowerbird is a strange creature. He decorates his nest with all manner of items, bright in colour and gaudy to the eye. Seeing pictures of the heaps of blue plastic pieces that surround his abode might lead one to ask the question why? The answer is as simple as it is timeless. […]
