Morning Gooners. Russia played on Friday night and no sign of Andrey Arshavin, I think I am right in saying he didn’t even make the make the bench. What has happened to this Russian, the second most expensive player Arsene Wenger has bought, the player who scored four goals against Liverpool at Anfield? The player […]
So after Kosceinly suffered an injury scare midweek, Theo Walcott suffered a real one last night. No sooner had the England game got going, San Marino goalkeeper, Simoncini totally wiped Walcott out when trying to win a 50/50 ball, one which Roy Hodgson didn’t like, one bit! If I described it as reckless I’d be […]
Morning Gooners, Let’s start by congratulating the Arsenal Ladies who yesterday beat Birmingham 1-0 to win the WSL Continental Cup trophy. They have already secured the WSL title and like their male counterparts in 2003/04, they went unbeaten the entire season! The ladies are the 2012/13 Invincibles and well done to them! A few of the […]
So, our Italian Stallion want’s to one day return to Italy and play for AC Milan! Former under-21 international goalkeeper Vito Mannone has been talking to Corriere della Sera: I am happy at Arsenal and want to be Number 1 here, then I’d love to return to Italy and play in Serie A, hopefully with my beloved Milan. I have always […]
Carl Jenkinson. I don’t think it’s too soon to say it. We all know the unrivalled track record of great buys by Arsene Wenger, Anelka, van Persie, Vieira, and many more. We don’t even have to discuss the profits made on their sales, because, again, it’s nothing short of spectacular. During our stressful summer before last season, […]
I must admit I use to hold the opinion that it will be easier for someone to convert me to a religion than accept the notion of the need of a dedicated defensive midfielder in any attractive footballing side as such as Arsenal. As a youngster my favourite team was the Ajax team of the […]
Morning Gooners, According to some of the comments prior to the West Ham game, many felt that we would or could come unstuck but it seems that Wenger and the squad felt differently. After going 1-0 down from an outstanding goal by Diame, against the run of play, Arsenal just took it in their stride […]
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 […]
Morning Gooners, Arsene Wenger dropped the biggest hint yesterday that he’s about to give Theo Walcott what he wants, and that’s a central role. Talking to afc.com about the transition of Gervinho from winger to striker he had this to say about both he and Walcott: I did it with Thierry Henry, I did it […]
Morning all, I’ve been busy at work recently, early starts and late finishes have led me to miss out on much of the recent discussion. But I have been reading and it seems that one loss has unsettled supporters. Some are saying that Koscielny is all washed up, Diaby is like a glass doll and Giroud couldn’t […]
For their second Champions League game of the group stages Arsenal started with the following line up: Mannone, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Koscielny,Vermaelen,Coquelin, Arteta, Gervinho, Cazorla, Podolski, Chamberlain. It was a strong line-up compensating for the loss of Diaby, while Mertesacker was not even on the subs bench! The following took their seats in the dug-out: Shea, […]
Morning Gooners, Carl Jenkinson is yet to make his mind up about who to represent at International level. We all know his choices are England or Finland and if Roy Hodgson has any sense, he’ll call our right-back up pretty sharpish and sort that issue out! He really is going to be a super defender, […]
