This fixture would tell us more about ourselves than any other recent one. We arrived at the Bridge having won six of our last seven in all competitions, including some credible wins – notably away at the Velodrome in the Champions League and at home versus Stoke last weekend. Chelsea on their patch is a […]
If we give absolutely everything and fight together for every single game in every single competition we can still look back at the end of the season and be proud of our attitude and what we have achieved. Have we fans not been saying that for many seasons now? It’s all very well Wenger coming […]
Morning all, Seven wins out of our last eight, does that mean we are out of the slump? I would say no but we are getting better though. Our confidence is building and team spirit is improving but we are still a way off winning the league, FA cup or Carling Cup not to mention […]
Morning all, Seems like I was wrong in an earlier post I wrote suggesting that the FA was after our manager. Wenger has publicly said that he would never consider managing England and he’s also said that the position should be filled by an Englishman, suggesting that the best man for the job is the […]
We have a treat today, a match summary from Allezkev who was at The Emirates last night… We lined up: Fabianski, Yennaris, Squillaci, Vermaelen, Miquel, Frimpong, Coquelin, Benayoun, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arshavin and Park. Substitutes: Mannone, Meade, Boateng, Ozyakup, Aneke, Ryo, Watt We appeared to start out 4 4 1 1, although at times it was 4 […]
League form bears little relevance to Cup Competitions in my opinion and especially in this Cup. Teams change, different personnel come in for their chance to show their worth, prove that they deserve a chance on a regular basis. We can expect little different tonight either, we should see a mix and match of old […]
The pre-match main talking point was whether he would start today or not. During a mid-week presser, Arsene hinted that Robin may be kept in reserve in order to give him a breather and keep his minutes from ballooning out of control. The other main point is whether or not we could continue our good […]
Yep, by the time the final whistle goes somewhere around 15.20hrs today, we will have learned if we have taken further steps forward in our Premier League campaign or just same old few steps forward and the same plus one back. Today is a huge test, not only as Stoke are a big side, they […]
Richard Scudamore has rubbished all the suggestion about binning the relegation in football. In fact he’s labelled such an idea as being ‘nonsensical’. Earlier this week the League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan claimed that the American and Asian owners of Premier League clubs had expressed a desire to do away with the tradition […]
Injury Update Carl Jenkinson is having a scan today but Wenger has pretty much ruled him out for Stoke, Gibbs, Vermaelen and Diaby are all two weeks away from a return. When Thomas Vermaelen is fit and ready to play, what will Wenger do with him? Slot him straight back into the defence and move […]
Morning Gooners… Top of the Group and a well-earned three points in The Stade Velodrome, a stadium known for possessing one of Europe’s most partisan atmospheres. The stadium is under construction ahead of the 2016 Euro’s but despite one of the stands being empty, it was still noisy. 1,400 of our loyal fans were in […]
Well, what a boost for every Arsenal yesterday when afc.com announced that Thomas Vermaelen signed a new long-term contract, now all we need is for van Persie, Walcott and Sagna to follow suit. Robin van Persie however, feels that Thomas could do so much better, not on the football front though, he’s referring to his […]
