Number 1: The first and most obvious step is, stop buying for the future for one season and buy experience and I don’t just mean older journey-men but battle hardened, top class 28-30 year olds. The kind of players who know what to do when things are going wrong. Players who the younger guys can […]
That’s it then, season over – well apart from the Champions League Final and I’m interested in that as much as I am watching paint dry! Yep, I’ll watch it, in hope that neither side win 😉 Six seasons have now gone by without winning anything and it’s far too long for a club like […]
Yesterday we saw the closing act of a season which promised so much up through the end of February but ultimately saw us finish empty-handed. February saw us lose the Carling Cup final in calamitous circumstances, sending our side into a tailspin from which they never really recovered. Exits from the European and FA Cup […]
Well Done to Arsenal Ladies and of course to Laura Harvey, the Arsenal manager for winning the FA Cup yesterday. What a day it was and what a performance by our Ladies – they truly deserve the hangover they will all have this morning. 🙂 Another FA Cup Trophy in the bag and a massive […]
Coventry City’s Ricoh Arena is the venue for today’s FA Cup Final between Arsenal Ladies and Bristol Academy Ladies. They suffered a loss in last year’s final right at the death to an Everton winner but every side can have a blip and last season was exactly that for them, that was the first FA […]
There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Ryo Miyaichi but it seems that Wenger plans to see if the lad has what it takes. If he does, Arsenal will apply for his Visa and should they be successful, we could be in for a treat next season watching this zippy little player. Miyaichi has been […]
Rumour post today! 😉 We knew it would happen, the rumours of players leaving and players rumoured to be ‘on the verge’ of signing. Well, this happens every season just before the transfer window opens, agents start touting their players around in attempt to provoke a bidding war, others just do it because ‘their man’ […]
As we approach the close-season with a mixture of frustration and anger, my over-riding feeling is one of sadness. Sadness because with just a little bit more ambition from the management and leadership from the Board, the unsavoury ending to our home campaign both inside and outside the ground, could have been and should have […]
Just a bit of fun to try and brighten a few Gooners Day – You know the old saying, If Mohammed won’t go to the mountains, then the mountains must go to Mohammed…. It’s simple really – get rid of the Elvis Presley and bring on Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé. 🙂 In all honesty, […]
Our 2010-11 season home programme ends with a slow start, defensive errors which gifted the opposition goals, a wrongly denied penalty, a dubiously chalked-off goal, a belated wake-up, and a Robin goal which ensures we do just enough to lose by a single goal margin… We have seen this all many times this season – […]
So, after several months of crazy football results Manchester United finally secured the Premier League Trophy yesterday. Well done to them I say! My own view though is that not one side in this English league ‘truly’ deserved to be crowned champions this season. Instead of it being a league about who would win the […]
David Seaman has been talking to our official website and he believes that our young Polish keepers have “great futures” and both have taken massive steps forward this season. Seaman is no fool and he was certainly one of the best goal keepers we have ever had, he must know what there is to see […]
