Morning all, Facing Stoke away from home on a bleak, cold and murky afternoon did not make great conditions for an important game such as this. Stoke kicked off and we started with conviction, looking like a side that was really up for this game! We harried the Stoke players and closed them down quickly […]
Titbits: The Yann M’Vila saga goes on, now Manchester United are reported to be in the running for him, as they are for another Wenger target, Athletic Bilbao’s Javi Martinez. Both are defensive midfielders so maybe we will get one and the Mancs the other. 😉 Just get in there Gazidis and get the one […]
The team news was updated yesterday and whilst Tomas Rosicky should be fit and healthy after a bout of sickness. Diaby is the only other concern, mind you, when isn’t he? 😉 He will not start, he was sick until yesterday and had a light session. He could be short again but he could be […]
Yesterday Lille confirmed that Eden Hazard will be leaving them in the summer, it’s believed his likely destination is England. Many Arsenal fans are calling for his signing but it seems it’s straight forward battle between the two Manchester sides as £30 Million is his reported value! Onto another player that many Gooners want us […]
Robin van Persie has completed a double success after being named Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year. Our captain was named PFA Footballer of the Year on Sunday and he has now followed that up with another award. Wayne Rooney was in second place, Paul Scholes third and Clint Dempsey fourth. Denilson’s lawyer has […]
Almunia is off in the summer, wow, that’s a shocker isn’t it!! He has no choice, his contract is up and we don’t want or need him and when asked if he will remain in England or move back to Spain, Almunia said: I have got lazy to move too far, because life here in […]
Our captain finally got his hands on a trophy last night when he was awarded the PFA Player of the Year. Well done to Robin, I’m sure he’ll pick up another one or two before the season is over and that should now prevent any ‘I want to leave to win trophies’ comments from him!! […]
Go on, admit it, when Theo Walcott hobbled off with what looked like a hamstring injury, you were smiling and thinking thank goodness. Well I wasn’t, and watching Gervinho play in his position for the rest of the game, wasn’t enough to convince me otherwise. I seriously worry about out next three fixtures and our […]
Yep, I read that yesterday, Squillaci is in talks about a one year loan at Leeds – shame it’s not permanent but at least Leeds will pay most of his wages!Plenty of time though for other clubs to come in, i’m sure there are many keeping tabs on his situation. 😉 Also, we have slapped […]
Let’s get todays tit-bits and rumours out the way first! Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is the captain of Montpellier. He’s a 6′, 22-year-old who can play anywhere across the back line or as a defensive midfielder. Suggestion is that both Newcastle and us are keeping an eye on him. He’s valued at £7 Million, a price tag […]
How many of us have commented that Andre Santos could do with shedding a couple of pounds? Many is the answer, our Brazilian winger left back is pretty dynamic going forward, doesn’t hesitate in having a shot on goal and he whips in a tidy cross too, but when it’s comes to getting his body […]
So, the inevitable has happened, after our defeat to Wigan, Captain Fantastic decided to run to the Marriott hotel on Park Lane, which just happens to be the same hotel that Barcelona are staying in ahead of their Champions League fixture with Chelsea. Oh how the paparazzi loved that didn’t they, The Daily Mail snapped […]
