Morning all. Louis van Gaal has been asked why he sold Danny Welbeck to Arsenal: Welbeck played for three years at Manchester United after his Sunderland loan but he doesn’t have a Robin van Persie or Wayne Rooney record. He didn’t have the standard. So that’s why he sold him! As for the question about […]

Morning all. Back in 1998 and on this very day, Freddie Ljunberg signed for Arsenal FC. What a super little player he was. Him and his red hair and CK pants forever on show! Bit early for the CK’s so red hair it is… I wonder if back then, anyone said Freddie who? Mesut Ozil, […]

Morning all. Kieran Gibbs must be nearing a return. I think Arsene Wenger said just before our last game that he was a ‘little bit short’ so would miss out against Leicester. In his absence and in my opinion, Nacho Monreal has slowly gone back to being the solid left back we signed in January […]

Morning all. Both Spain and England played last night. England beat Switzerland 2-0 with our new boy playing the entire match and scoring both England goals. Hopefully he will return full of confidence and start scoring goals for his club. Nice to see him make a dash to the sideline and celebrate his goal with […]

Morning all. Theo Walcott is fully fit and healthy and just needs a few training sessions and perhaps a couple of run outs for the reserves to check he’s 100% and then, hopefully, he’ll be ready to face Tottenham at the end of the month… Theo Walcott loves to play against them just like Thierry […]

Morning all. Actually, since we signed Danny Welbeck on deadline day, I don’t think he’s been out of the news has he? Even Alexis has been pushed to one side on the official site to make way for interviews, pictures and anything else relating to our final summer signing of the summer. But still no […]

Morning all. This time next season we will no doubt be lining up without three players who are currently seen as first team performers. The contracts of Mikel Arteta, Francis Coquelin and Abou Diaby run out at the end of this campaign and to be honest, I can’t see any one of those three being […]

Morning all. A host of the world’s top bosses have joined forces for the annual managers’ meeting held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. On Wednesday and Thursday, former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson chaired the 16th Elite Club Coaches Forum meeting as UEFA’s coaching ambassador while president Michel Platini was also present. Imagine […]

Morning all. Don’t shoot me down for the heading, it’s simply a question put out as an idea. Joseph Yobo, not the first name on every fans mind but he’s one of a few centre backs available right now for free and the only way we can bolster our central defensive options is by snapping […]

Morning all. The agent of Joel Campbell has taken a huge swipe at Arsene Wenger. Batica is quoted by O Jogo as saying: Benfica fought until the last minute to sign Campbell but the move didn’t happen because, in the last hour, Arsenal decided to keep him. Wenger says he did not want to sell him. But if he […]

Morning all. ‘If Thomas Vermaelen leaves, I will replace him’ were the words muttered by the Arsenal manager just a few weeks ago. Thomas left, yet no-one to replace him arrived… What he did do though was to allow the only other senior defender who could have been that fourth choice player to leave as Ignasi […]
