So, first off, Wenger confirmed what we all suspected would happen, and that is Thomas Vermaelen has a little setback and his returned will be delayed by one or two weeks – well, no surprise really eh, we all saw that one coming didn’t we? In fact, I will be surprised if that turns out […]
Fun Day Friday….. Aren’t you just glad we don’t have players who refuse to play when asked? Ok, we had a sulky Anelka years back, an Adebayor who made it clear he wanted out to earn a better wage and Nasri for the same reason but I don’t think any of them actually refused to […]
What a night for our young Englishman, at just 18 years old he scored his first ever Champions League goal and became the youngest player ever to do so! That was possibly the brightest part of this game, other than Santos securing our victory with a second….. None of us really wanted to Alex Song […]
Two weeks ago we went to Dortmund in our Champions League opener for the season and we came away with a very hard earned point. The result was a little bit disappointing – we held on so well and for so long only to concede right at the end. It’s too early to judge how useful […]
Fergie has been talking about the fixture’s and how the so-called ‘top sides’ have theirs moved around just to suit television showing. It shows itself quite clearly because when you see the fixture lists come out now, they can pick and choose whenever they want the top teams on television. You get some ridiculous situations […]
Yep, Laura Harvey and her Gals have now won their third Cup in a season. Yesterday’s 4-1 victory over Birmingham Ladies, a side they have not beaten all season, secured the Continental Cup. They had already won the Women’s Super League and the FA Cup, so a nice Domestic Treble in the bag for another […]
After failing last week to string consecutive league wins together for the first since the beginning of this calendar year, we will try to make it back to back in any competition, and follow our 3-1 Carling Cup third round win over Shrewsbury Town with a similar result against second-from-bottom Bolton Wanderers FC. Last weekend […]
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 […]
