Many Arsenal fans, myself in included, wanted Arsene Wenger to take the Capital One Cup seriously and he did. Could he really have fielded a much stronger starting eleven? (on paper and injuries allowing) Maybe a few of us would say Arteta should have started, or Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right instead of Ramsey and maybe then Ramsey […]
Are you ready to Rock n’ Roll Gooners? Because it’s back, yes, It’s the League Cup again tonight and on the menu are Bradford City, a team that Arsenal have never faced in this competition. In fact, the Bantam’s are a club who Arsenal have faced on very few occasions and only ever in three previous cup-ties which were […]
Morning all, According to The Daily Mail, talks over a new loan deal for Henry are going well and a ‘debut’ for the old boy is pencilled in for January 6th when we face Swansea in the FA Cup.

Morning all, Snippets first up: According to The Daily Mirror, Arsene Wenger has added midfielder Luis Gustavo to his wanted list for next month’s transfer window.

Gossip to start with and that surrounds Bacary Sagna. News in the papers today suggest that the club have offered him £60,000 a week and a year extension to his current contract. To which he has apparently said thanks, but no thanks. His current deal ends in the summer of 2014 so no doubt he […]
Here’s a few snippets from Arsenal Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Fox, The clubs brand is “defined by more than winning”. He says: Arsenal Football Club is not only about winning.

Morning Gooners, After the Sun reported yesterday that Demba Ba has refused a new contract offer from Newcastle, the same paper has suggested that Wenger is ready to offer £7.5 Million for him. No, that’s not him being tight for once, that’s the players ‘get out’ clause in his current contract. The Daily Mail however, […]
Bertie Mee was the manager of Arsenal when I graduated from the odd Reserve game alongside my Father, into the Arsenal nut that I still am today, so I have seen the demise of many an Arsenal manager, not least the afore mentioned Bertie Mee.. Bertie’s was a sad decline into mediocrity. A proud man with high […]
It was all going to start in December he said…. We’d make our home advantage count he said….. Well neither happened yesterday did it? We were outplayed by a style of football we once watched OUR club play and well beaten by two goals from a bargain £2 million Spanish signing, the type of player […]
