Morning Gooners. A 7-3 victory but there’s still cause for concern. Would we have still turned on the style at the end had Newcastle been a team without so many injuries, or one who had more strength on the bench or indeed one who had not played just a few days before? Sounds like us […]
Morning all. Pat Rice has been awarded an MBE in the Queens New Years Honours List and Wenger is thrilled: I am absolutely delighted because if someone deserves it, it’s Pat Rice. He had 100 per cent genuine commitment every day and you respect that when you see that from somebody, and he is someone […]
Morning all, By some miracle, Abou Diaby is set to return to training next week, the very same week that the transfer window opens and if I wasn’t such a cynic, I’d say that his return has been delayed to coincide with the January ‘going’s on’. Well, I’m not one to wish an injury on many any of our […]
Morning all, Marouane Chamakh has been dropped by his country for the African Cup of Nations. It’s obvious he’s been dropped because he’s crap not been playing regular football for us, so hopefully that will give him a jolt in the doo dahs and make him realise he needs to find another club, play regular football and […]
Happy Boxing Day one and all… I know the real meaning of the day but sometimes, I wonder if it’s more about our heads feeling like they have been battered left and right, almost like having gone 5 rounds with David Haye…. Two bottles of the fizzy stuff is possibly not the best thing to […]
Morning all. Apparently, Canal+ have reported that Demba Ba is all set to sign for us on the 1st of January 2013. Well I’m not sure where they get that idea from, or even if they have got it right, he’s what we need. Of course position wise, we need a ruthless goal scorer and […]
Morning all, Christmas Eve is here, just when did that spring up on us all……… Third place didn’t last long did it, certainly not after Chelsea battered Aston Villa 8-0. Somehow, and maybe with a little help from other sides, we have managed to get ourselves up the table and into the top four. Now we […]
It took a soft penalty decision awarded to us and a couple turned down for Wigan to get all three points but right now, do we honestly care? Walcott didn’t dive, he just stumbled over after being gently caught from behind and as for the Wigan claims for handball, well blame the ref for that. Just as […]
Morning all, Start with today’s gossip: Arsenal are ‘exploring an audacious swoop for Barcelona striker David Villa’ according to The Daily Mail. The cunning plan is a loan until the end of the season and if all goes well, we’re going to try for a permanent deal. Apparently Villa is getting fed up with warming the bench […]
Morning all, Arsene Wenger had to answer questions about Theo Walcott yet again yesterday, is he staying or is he going and the answer to the latter was: No, that is for sure. My gut feeling is that he belongs to this club and that I hope he will sign for us. I always am […]
According to the local newspaper in Southampton, Luke Shaw is “heavily tipped” to leave the club in January and his expected destination is Arsenal. This story has been rumbling since the summer and it wouldn’t surprise me if this turn out to be true. Having just tied down five British players to long-term contracts, Wenger seems keen […]
Morning Gooners, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Carl Jenkinson, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey, all five are expected to sign new contracts within days. Theo Walcott’s contract obviously needs sorting out and seeing Wenger finally playing him in a central role against Reading, that could mean all sorts of things. The main one of course is […]
