Morning all. So the rumours earlier this week about Aaron Ramsey suffering an thigh injury were not far off of the truth. Both he and Mathieu Flamini face late fitness tests ahead of tonights fixture. Both were training with the squad yesterday so it doesn’t look all bad. Cazorla, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Sanogo and Walcott […]
Morning all. The PL returns this weekend with another away fixture against Swansea and most, if not all of the young guns who secured our next round CO Cup match against Chelsea, will be back watching. Probably a good job too as they must be exhausted after Wednesday night but didn’t they do well. I […]
Yesterday I wrote about Arsenal’s Young Pretenders, and the promise that they have in store for us. Well at the Hawthorns yesterday evening, they duly turned up and not only showed their promise, but also their quality whilst also showing their maturity. It was not a classic, but frankly I don’t care, the ends justify […]
Morning all. Unconfirmed reports or should I say wicked rumours are going round suggesting that Aaron Ramsey has suffered a thigh strain and is set to have a scan today. Don’t shoot the messenger if this is wrong, I have only just seen the story which of course could be pure fabrication. Hopefully it is just […]

Arsenal Holdings plc has announced its financial results for the year ended May 31, 2013: Group profit before tax was £6.7 million (2012 – £36.6 million) Profit on sale of player registrations amounted to £47.0 million (2012 – £65.5 million) One-off charges related to the impairment of certain player registrations and associated costs […]
Morning all. Before the game, Niall Quinn said in order to win the PL, sides have to win when they are playing badly. He suggested that that is where both clubs in Manchester are superior to the rest. They both have the ability to drag a victory from the jaws of defeat whereas most of […]
Morning all. Today’s fixture is against Stoke City, a side which includes that grubby thug Shawcross but our man is over it all: The memories have gone – It took a long time to get the effects of the injury out of my system. Mikel Arteta is back in the squad as we all know […]
Morning all. Got to love this, you couldn’t make it it up could you? Actually, The Daily Star did just that yesterday. The club hierarchy have reportedly highlighted Juventus legend Antonio Conte as the man who could lead the team into a new ear if Wenger decides to pull the curtain down on his 17-year-tenure […]
Morning all. Ciprian Marica, the big Romanian striker no club seems in a hurry to snap up is set to announce his next club. He’s in talks with three different clubs apparently and as we all know, we have been suggested to be one of them. In a press conference yesterday he said: I hope […]
Sometimes in football, as in life, you have to work for what you get and last night we huffed and puffed in the first half but got there in the end through not losing our heads when the going was tough. From the first whistle we looked laboured and uncomfortable with the shape we set […]
Morning all. So Arsene Wenger has snapped up a young Nigerian defender Semi Ajayi. The 6′ 3″ 19 year old had been released by Charlton in the summer and had a trial with both us and Norwich. The latter offered a short-term contract but he obviously thought better of it and signed the deal offered by […]
Morning all. According to reports, Arsene Wenger wants to rival Liverpool for the signing of Kyriakos Papadopoulos, currently of Schalke. I thought Mr Papadopoulos owned the laundrette in Eastenders… Ok, forget that if you are not an Eastenders viewer… Anyway, the 6′ Greek international has been with his current club for three seasons now and it’s […]
