I would start this out by saying “What a difference a few days make”, but on second thought…Let’s not get carried away. We still have lots of work to do, and the result certainly camouflages many of the deficiencies that were so glaring during the just-ended two-match skid. But winning conceals a great many problems, […]
So says Sebastien Squillaci…. He suggests that should we lose tonight it will all but end our chances of winning the Premier League. Sunday’s result against Newcastle was a shame as we had the chance to get closer to Chelsea and open up a gap on teams behind us. A great side does not suffer […]
I’m still feeling pretty raw over the way we performed on Sunday and after chewing the cud, some of the players Wenger played makes little sense. Robin van Persie was risked as we know and yesterday it became clear that Cesc Fabregas was a bit of a risk too. Wenger on RVP – We pushed him in […]
At least the first week of November is behind us. However, we still have three more weeks remaining in a month that this side has traditionally gone off the rails. Is it a coincidence? I do not think so. We still have too many issues that have not been rectified – issues that are undoing […]
Well, if you believe all that’s written in the Sunday rags this morning, Robin van Persie is set for his return today. Whether that means he has a ticket to watch the game or he’ll actually be on the bench I haven’t a clue, your guess is as good as mine. Suggestion is he has […]
During the summer, I along with many Arsenal fans was desperate to see Arsene Wenger sign a new goal keeper. Almunia didn’t fill us with confidence and when he had been injured Lukasz Fabianski stepped in and in all honesty he was worse! We were linked with Mark Schwarzer from Fulham, a 38-year-old who has had […]
Well it’s Friday so today we look back on a few rumours that have been around and who we have been linked to. The January Transfer window maybe still be many weeks away but it certainly doesn’t stop clubs, agents and even players trying to set up business for the impending silly month of January. […]
The whistle goes to start the game, the home fans in high spirits and as it turned out, they had every right to be! Within a minute of the game starting, Wilshere fouls Eduardo 25 yards out but the free kick causes Fabianski little problem as he saves comfortably. Next up, Eboue wins a corner, […]
As we enter match-day four we are well on course to a trip to Wembley. We have 9 points from 3 games in which we have scored 14 goals while only conceding two in the process. It’s a remarkable feat considering we broke the previous record held by the Galacticos, 12. We have scored 14 […]
Great news came out of the club yesterday that Jack Wilshere signed a new ‘long term’ contract. Yes, we all knew he probably would but it’s good when its official, all we need now is for Szczesny to follow in his footsteps. Last week, K-TR7 highlighted an excellent article about the psychology within football and especially at Arsenal. […]
Piers Morgan, one of the sports writers for the Daily Mail has hung his writing boots up and moved on to pastures new. I shall miss his articles, not only were they written through the eyes of a Gooner but they were very open, honest and from his heart. I know he’s not everyone’s cup […]
We have seen days like this before, and will surely see them again: we huff and we puff, and struggle to breach the opponents’ defence. Arsene said afterwards he was relieved, as it looked like we would have to settle for a point, at best – and I can certainly agree with him. Despite a […]
