Back to the Premier League today with Wigan coming to The Emirates. News is that Szczesny is to continue in goal today with Fabianski still ruled out with injury but Chamakh and Denilson have recovered – good news about Chamakh but the latter, well I hope he doesn’t start anyway. I hope we field the […]
Yesterday Bolton confirmed the signing of David Wheater, a big strong defender that will sure up their defence – however, this could also mean that Owen Coyle is ready to listen to offers for his other fine centre half, Gary Cahill. Yes I know, he maintains that Wheater is an addition and hasn’t been bought […]
A replay we didn’t need and as with our two recent cup ties, there was plenty of going-in speculation regarding the squad Arsene would name tonight. Our starting eleven consisted of Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Gibbs, Song, Nasri, Denilson, Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner. Shea, Clichy, Eboue, Cesc, Jack, Theo, and Robin made the bench up. I […]
Ok, Leeds up tonight at Elland Road in a 3rd round replay of the FA Cup. Wenger said earlier in the week that he wants to go for all four competitions, he also said he will buy a Centre Half following the ‘breakdown’ of Vermaelen and the injury sustained by Sebastian Squillaci. The team selection […]
Over the seasons we have seen many Arsenal players come back from a long-term injury, make one or two cameo appearances for the club and straight away get selected for their country. We saw it with Cesc Fabregas, Nikki Bendtner last summer and we witness it time after time with Robin van Persie. Same could […]
We all take the news that’s reported in the papers with a pinch of salt and no doubt this needs to be treated the same way but suggestion is that Patrick Vieira could be making a return to Arsenal. Paddy, as he’s more fondly know to Arsenal fans has already hinted that he will hang […]
We certainly have three, possibly more magical players but this is not what I am referring to. Three points? We got them today, and certainly needed them. But with Man City winning earlier in the day, all these three points did is keep us in third place. Our magic three is three goals. So often […]
Today sees a short trip across London to face West Ham, a side that we huffed and puffed against at home but just managed to sneak a goal with only minutes left on the clock. Alex Song was the hero that day but the win was less than convincing. Back then it didn’t matter so […]
I still feel pretty naffed off after the lacklustre display our team put out in the semi-final of the Carling Cup. No doubt the ‘real’ Arsenal fans feel the same. Arsene Wenger has blamed fatigue for our loss, which is outrageous bearing in mind how many of those who played had been rested but at […]
There is a saying which goes “There is no such thing as a sure thing.” Not even a team that just sacked its manager last week, was crushed 7-0 by Chelsea on the weekend, and is sitting in the lower reached of the Championship can be taken for granted. Only the Arsenal players who figured […]
Andrey Arshavins agent has suggested that Juventus are interested in taking our little Russian to play in Italy this month. This one’s quite interesting as no matter which article I click on for more information, it’s gone. Draw from that what you wish 😉 Onto something we all know anyway, Sebastian Squillaci is out for […]
The beautiful game has been Arsene Wengers dream way of playing for many years, slick quick passing, team mates moving like a well oiled gearbox, synchronised meshing, often making lesser teams seem as if they are running around like headless chickens. Media, Pundits, Managers and players all agree that when Arsenal play like this its […]
