As you take your seat in our fine Emirates Stadium, probably the last thing on your mind is the turf and the unsung heroes behind it. The view is superb where ever you are in the ground. By the time you have found your seat and got yourself comfortable, no doubt its only then that […]
As we move in to the business end of this season, we can no longer consider any match as “easy”. With only four points separating United and us, with Man City, Spuddies and Chelsea all within six points of us, any more slipups can seriously dent our league title ambitions, while opening the door for […]
Just how long have we been waiting to hear the news on injuries to Samir Nasri, Johan Djourou and Alex Song?? All we get is a snippet here and there from other Arsenal blogs saying they are back in training, Twitter comments from the players saying they are fine but we never get the updates […]
With the England side full of old boys these days, Gerrard, Terry, Lampard, Ferdinand, Barry etc, our young players are not only waiting to make the breakthrough for their club but soon they will be pushing a few old boys out of the England set up too. Already we have Walcott as a regular but […]
I can understand if Wenger doesn’t buy a central midfielder in the summer, I really can. I think he should have bought one before now but things are rapidly changing at the club. Firstly and I know we have covered this before but had Frimpong not suffered such an injury I am sure that Wenger […]
Most of you would have guessed who I am talking about but for those who haven’t I’m talking about Henri Lansbury. He’s a player who I love to watch and just pray that one day he gets the kind of chance under Arsene Wenger as others get, regardless of their performances each game. I know […]
Can you believe some of the refereeing decisions that we see week in and week out, I for one cannot. I was led to believe that football is run on a set of rules, where offside is offside, handball is handball and so on. Those rules have been tampered with so that a simple rule […]
Cheer up fellow Gooners. I understand how you all feel. I am still in absolute shock about Saturday’s result. I woke up thinking about it and I have just finished watching the re-run on Football First. It wasn’t an enjoyable watch. But we have to forget about it, because if you are all totally honest […]
While not necessarily intending to go Nietzsche on everyone, I thought that one of the oft-quoted German philosopher’s better-known quotes may apply here…Before I begin discussing things, let me say up front that I am not going to sit here and unload on referee Phil Dowd and his crew. I think they did a poor […]
The last few days have been all about the match against Everton and who said what or not to whom. Reality is Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have said the book is closed on the incident and that’s probably a good thing too. The FA say there is no case to answer so let’s put it […]
I’m going to touch on this briefly as it’s been written and talked about since Tuesdays game but I worry about what appears to be a witch hunt against our Captain! It started back in February 2007 when Arsenal faced Blackburn – a boring 0-0 result at The Emirates when Mark Hughes parked the usual […]
Ok, before anyone starts shouting about how an injury to any player can be good news let alone Nasri, please read the rest first. We all know that Samir Nasri is one of the first names to be on the team sheet for Arsene Wenger this season, his form has been outstanding and he always […]
