According to Jack Colback of Sunderland, we are the best he’s faced this season and one of those sides is Chelsea. Obviously we played Chelsea at home but I don’t think they move it around as quick as Arsenal they make the pitch really big and they’re constantly rotating so you don’t really get a […]
This wasn’t a pretty performance, but our players delivered a win – one that brought us up into tenth place at the conclusion of this weekend’s play. They overcame a moment of madness from our ‘keeper, a sensational equalizer from opponents who had literally, just one sniff until the moment they scored, another injury, and […]
Ok, let’s start with the team news – defenders Johan Djourou and Laurent Koscielny both return after injury as does Squillaci! Mind you, I hope the last of those three has no need to feature today. Actually, make that any day… 😉 We all know the players who are injured but thankfully, two of them […]
Spot On Arsene, let’s stop thinking about the end of the season and whether we can win the league or not, whether we can win any of the cup competitions or not or indeed whether we can even make it into the top four. Let’s just focus on the next game, then the next and […]
It was confirmed yesterday that Nicklas Bendtner is not permitted to face us on Sunday which I think is a massive relief to all of us, we all know he’d be up for this game, out to show Wenger how good he is… There would be nothing worse than seeing him score against us, especially […]
For the pedantic out there, of course I know that Alisher Usmanov is in fact from Uzbek, but these days he is referred to as being a Russian businessman, so for me, he’s Russian…. 😉 The other Russian is our own Andrey Arshavin, he too made the news yesterday…. First up though and possibly the […]
Morning all, As a regular blogger I sometimes get carried away. Like you, I read peoples posts and comments and if you have strong views on some things like I have, you sometimes put your foot in your mouth and trust me; I have done that on more than one occasion. I have criticised other […]
We’ve battered Wenger; we’ve battered Kroenke, now its van Persie’s turn! Over the last few weeks, months, maybe even a few years, Arsene Wenger has been on the receiving end of a few damning comments – actually, reading around the blog world, some have been absolute gutter, not something I condone in all honesty. It’s […]
I read this story yesterday and I know it’s done the rounds but not here, yet…. One Season Ticket holder, believed to be in the ArsenalAFCnotPLC group, spoke about this season and our worst start for many and said: Put simply it is not good enough for Arsenal. We are on a downward spiral and […]
Not when it come’s to playing for England, that’s for sure! Arsenal currently have around 11 players out on loan, with many more youngsters earmarked to join the temporary exodus at the turn of the year as the Arsenal Academy has made it his policy to loan out many of our young players. I understand […]
Morning all, Apparently the FA are looking for a new England Manager to take over from Fabio Cappello as he has made it clear that he will not be carrying on after the European Championships. Ordinarily I wouldn’t take much notice and although I am an Englishman and follow the England team but what caught […]
Thomas Vermaelen is living proof that a quality player will settle in to a new club quickly so why is the big German having problems? Mertesacker is a big strong centre half, he plays for his country, not any old country either, it’s Germany, a tough side. He came from a tough German league too, […]
