Robin van Persie is obviously struggling with his mathematics… Arsenal did not sign five players this summer, we signed NINE. 😛 Eight of which are ready to play in this current side, the only one missing is Campbell…. He’s been talking about our ‘five’ deadline day summer signings and how they bring experience to the […]
It already seems that our last fixture was more than two weeks ago; perhaps that is not such a bad thing. Ideally, we would have gotten back into action within a few days but, as the football calendar would have it, we’ve had to sit and stew over it… A frantic final few days of […]
How many other sides will be saying that today? Probably none! Vermaelen, Gervinho, Song, Jenkinson, Wilshere, Santos, Diaby, Squillaci and maybe Rosicky will all be out for today’s fixture, that’s a whole lot of absentees but the good news is that after today, five of them will be back for the PL fixtures ahead. Park […]
I wrote a post a little while ago suggesting that we are somewhat harshly treated by the Footballing Authority and the referees who act on their behalf. Only three weeks into the new season and we have already suffered a staggering number of suspensions while other teams more physical than us are receiving none. I […]
It is like before the first day at school. Now I have a new challenge in a new country, a new style of play and a new language and I am ready for it. That’s the big 6’ 6” central defender speaking as he’s ready so say his goodbyes in Germany and head for pastures […]
Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi has spoken out about our young feisty midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong and has been bold in suggesting they have secured his services on the International front. Recently Frimpong had been called up by Stuart Pearce for the England under 21’s but he withdrew from the squad citing a foot injury. […]
So, what some feared has now become reality, Thomas Vermaelen has suffered an injury and has ungone an operation on his Achilles, he’s expected to be out for at least a month. Forgive me if I am cynical but that’s what we were told last season and we all know what happened then don’t we! […]
Morning all, Apart from being a nutcase Arsenal supporter, I’m also a keen Golfer and recently I was invited to play in a team game of four in a club competition we call Texas Scramble. Close to 30 teams had entered and looking at our team of four I fancied our chances… The Texas Scramble’s […]
Arsenal old boy Frank McLintock has been talking about our summer signings and he’s less than impressed! In an interview with The Daily Star he’s reported as saying: I’m sorry to say it but I’m not impressed with the names Arsene has brought in. If we’d signed Arteta two seasons ago I would have said […]
A good boxer doesn’t have to hit the hardest. He can defend and work openings with various combinations, mannerisms that give the opponent a false sense of security and by using his sheer class and power. Ali got easily beat by Ken Naughton then in a second fight beat him unsensationally over a points decision, […]
How many times have we all sat back watching our team lose their way on the pitch, moaning that there is no leadership out there?? Well, now there is no excuse, not that there was really before: Yossi Benayoun – Israel Captain Aaron Ramsey – Wales Captain Andrey Arshavin – Russia Captain Thomas Vermaelen – […]
Morning all, For all those supporters that have been cursing our Manager Arsene Wenger, about how he buys talent and new players, perhaps you will now start to understand how this manager works. He started off the summer by bringing in Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jenkinson, they were additions to what was in my view a […]
