Before anyone takes me to task over the title, it’s tongue-in-cheek, ok? Cesc is our captain, and remains a hugely important player to our side. Nasri has sparkled this season and may well take Cesc’s mantle in the long-term, but that will not happen until Cesc himself departs. Considering our Captain’s intermittent availability this season, […]
Back to the Premier League today and a nice tasty fixture against a side that are floating around the relegation places. I used to enjoy watching Fulham under Roy Hodgson but now under Mark Hughes they are just another side who I hope we tear apart and embarrass. No doubt they will arrive at The […]
It won’t stop the rumour mill will it….. Over the last few weeks, months, we have all pondered over what is in store for Carlos Vela. He made a rare start on Tuesday in the Carling Cup and despite missing a few chances which appeared easier to score than miss, it was pretty clear to […]
November 2001 and all that, the 4-2 reverse by Charlton at Highbury sparked a winning revolution at the club that would see us win 2 Premier Leagues, 3 FA Cups, culminating in our brave defeat to Barcelona at the Stade de France in May 2006. Little was I to know as I sat slumped at the Herbert Chapman […]
One thing caught my eye at the end of last night’s game and forgive me if I have got this wrong but straight after the match I watched ATV online and saw lone man out in the cold, he was walking around the pitch, clapping the fans, giving thumbs up to the fans – he knew […]
Ok, I know we are playing at The Emirates but the way we’ve been playing away from home this season, maybe we need to approach tonight as if we were away from home. Why can’t they play with the same grit and steel as they do on their travels is beyond me. Anyway, I think our home form will […]
We all know Nikki B has been chopsing about how good he is, how he should be playing instead of Chamakh and if Wenger doesn’t play him he’ll find enough club etc etc etc but while all this is going on you just have to spare a thought for Johan Djourou. Once a defensive midfielder […]
I agree as I’m sure all Arsenal fans do… Alan ‘Smudger’ Smith was asked one question by Richard Keys after our game yesterday and that was, ‘ What was what would you change in this Arsenal side if you could?’ Smudger said that we lack that ‘Over my dead body are you going to score attitude’ and that was the only […]
Well here we go again then, Saturday lunchtime kick off, live on Sky Sports and one thing we don’t need is a repeat of last Saturday’s showing or Wednesday’s dull performance. We know Cesc is out as is Eboue, Diaby, Vermaelen, Frimpong and Clichy. Oh, and Almunia! That’s according to AFC.com so if I’m wrong, blame them, […]
If reports are true, it’s very silly if you ask me, why not just spend the same amount on one player who’s ready to get the shirt on and help make a difference to our current set up. The two players we have supposedly made an offer for are Sime Vrsaljko and Mateo Kovacic, both of Dinamo […]
Yep, I mean it, that’s just how I feel about Cesc Fabregas Take a look at his body language; his slowness during a game, his half-hearted free kicks and wayward shots, his constant fouling as if he wants a red card just to get a ban and he so often ‘demands’ the ball despite being in a position which gains […]
I love Arsenal Football Club. I absolutely love it. I have been with it for seventeen years, longer than my lovely wife and I have been together. I caught the bug while living and working in Peterborough, and have continued to faithfully and steadfastly follow it, while moving around different parts of the world. It […]
