Imagine the following AFC team trotting out of the tunnel up one day…. Casillas, Alves, Pique, Chiellini, Cole; Xavi, Essien; Ronaldo, Fabregas, Messi; RVP. Coached by Arsene Wenger and playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Facing them would be one of the pauper English club newly promoted to the premier league with the following players in […]
This man had been able to stay fit for longer…. As we entered the first International break of the season, our dear friends in the Press/Media had a field day at our expense following a nasty result or two – players went off, no doubt feeling low and down on confidence but two weeks later, […]
Morning all, One week into the Internationals and no doubt all Arsenal supporters have turned attentions to your parent countries, some of you may not have too much interest in these fixtures, perhaps your county is not involved. If so, this second week will feel like a fortnight all over again. Maybe you have been […]
The Interlull, as it is commonly called now, what a total bore… It’s almost as bad as the Close Season and at times like these, many of us start to think back a little. I was sorting out some old papers recently and came across a couple of old newspaper cuttings i’d kept from 2006/07. […]
Ever since I have been supporting the AFC, that is, 37 odd years, I have always had a soft spot for those players who put their bodies on the line. Don’t get me wrong, I like those players who dazzle and mesmerise the crowds with their skills, however, I have always tended to prefer those […]
The Arsenal can boast about having many many supporters from every corner of the world and this next part of the post may or may not be of interest to you so I will apologise in advance, but for me this is very important. I know this has been in the press over the last […]
Just a bit of food for thought today. I know over the past couple of transfer windows many here had hoped that Wenger would sign a few of the up and coming, or experience German footballers, Mesut Ozil is one that springs to mind prior to him joining Real Madrid. We all know a HH […]
Morning all, I thought I would write something completely different for today after having a row with the Mrs!.. It was about starvation around the world, she was saying how bad the situation is in certain countries around the world and how she how wrong this is , especially when we have multi billionaires like […]
As we enter another period of inaction, while F.A.s around the world boost their finances by putting on a whole host of pointless games, maybe it’s time to reflect on Arsenal’s recent change in fortunes. Personally I’m still sunning myself in the glow of that fantastic performance and result at Stamford Bridge. Before the Chelsea […]
But we do!! If anyone watched the Fulham v Tiny Tott match they will know what I mean – talk about Lady Luck!! Well, we don’t need Lady Luck anymore and it’s a good job too as we seldom get it! No way do that bunch deserve to be in the CL next season, their […]
Yesterday we made sure that West Brom had no chance of repeating their last seasons result, a 3-0 home victory saw us finally move our goal tally into the positive, so a good day’s work and a nice way for the players to head off on International duty! We lined up: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Koscielny, […]
Of course we all do, it was a dark old day in London last season, especially around N5 1BU!! Seventy three minutes into the game and we were 3-0 down at home against todays opposition, and Almunia saved a penalty in the first half! In the last fifteen minutes of the match we woke up […]
