Djourou and Yossi are out for today’s fixture with thigh strains but Rosicky, Sagna and Ramsey back in… I don’t think too many fans will be disappointed with the Djourou news but Yossi, well it’s a shame having opened his scoring tally midweek. It’s hard to believe that since Bolton beat us back in April […]
So says Owen Coyle ahead of our battle with Bolton tomorrow. In fact, the criticism Arsene has received is absolutely ridiculous. He is one of the best managers in world football. Always has been. Always will be. The nature of the league we are in, with its global coverage, is that everybody has an opinion […]
Two stories to talk about today, the first has to be the biggest load of poppycock I have ever read – and that is Joey ‘Thug’ Barton reckons he was in with a chance of signing for us and he’d been in talks with Arsene Wenger in August. He goes on to suggest that the […]
ARSENAL FC 3 – 1 SHREWSBURY TOWN FC September 20, 2011: Emirates Stadium Just a week after our heroic Champions League effort in Dortmund, we kicked this season’s Carling Cup off with a visit from Second Division Shrewsbury Town. Not the most difficult assignment – certainly not like last season, where we had an immediate […]
Just a bit of naugtiness – Wenger has reassurred us all that Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain is nothing like Theo Walcott… PHEW 😉 They are quite similar types of players but Walcott is a bit more a striker and Oxlade-Chamberlain is more a midfielder, He [Oxlade-Chamberlain] likes more to be in the build-up of things and Walcott […]
Last month David Dein suggested that Wenger may have had enough of Arsenal and was ready to walk away. Wenger quickly rebuffed Dein’s view by saying: David is not right. I will one day prove to you my loyalty by showing what I have turned down to stay here. You will be surprised. You can […]
At least that (momentum) was the mantra heading in to this match. We chalked up a first league win (of this season) the past Saturday, and scrapped for a valuable away point in what figured to be the most difficult match of this season’s Champions League group phase. Two positives, with another three points necessary […]
Marvin Martin may have signed a new contract but we could still be in with a chance of signing him next summer: The officials made a promise. Indeed to let me leave. I will remain at Sochaux until the end to the season. You all know I love these rumours, the above came from the […]
AFC.Com has been full of updates and comments about all things football… Makes a change I suppose…. Firstly, it’s been confirmed that we will play in our home colours against Blackburn and Szczesny will therefore be wearing grey – personally I prefer him in pink. 😉 Yossi has obviously impressed Arsene Wenger as he said […]
For the first time in a while Theo Walcott has a player breathing down his neck for a starting right in the side and for the first time in a long while I am believing it’s time for Theo to have his butt placed on the bench just to remind him that he needs to […]
September 13, 2011: Signal Iduna Park (aka Westfalenstadion) After the relief of our win at Udinese a couple of weeks ago, we only had a little time to exhale prior to the start of the competition proper. And so this evening we opened this season’s Champions League group phase with a visit to the home […]
Here we are again at the start of a new Champions League campaign having been able to navigate past a tricky Udinese side. This time however the expectations for us to win the tournament are much lower after the summer we just had. We have lost players with vast experience in this competition and only […]
