How many times have we heard or read the word ‘wonderkid’ or ‘The New…’ when talking about Arsenal youth or reserve players? There’s been an abundance of players dubbed the new Paddy, the new Bergkamp, the new Henry but we all know it’s just hype which can often do more harm than good. The player trying […]
This is what I love, an honest young player who tells us just how good he is, how happy he is in England and just how happy he is at home with the Arsenal. Yes, some may suggest he’s very young to be saying, “I play like Gerard Pique from Barcelona,” but maybe he does? […]
According to the Daily Mail, Barcelona talent spotter Andoni Zubizarreta has been keeping a close eye on the Arsenal midfield – but it’s not just Cesc Fabregas in the Spanish champions’ sights. The Nou Camp technical secretary has been so impressed with Brazilian midfielder Denilson that he is ready to convince coach Pep Guardiola to […]
The heading maybe ironic but it does hold truth honestly, here’s a little story about our French-born, Moroccan striker Chamakh.. It’s quite refreshing really to read about a top striker who doesn’t touch a drop of alcohol especially when yet again the weekend papers were full of news about a few of the England players […]
Well, you just know Arsene Wenger will say it don’t you… Aaron Ramsey, who cost us £4.8 million in 2008, will be like a new signing when he returns! Ramsey has just been named Wales Young Player of the Year at an awards ceremony in Cardiff, despite not playing for long long time, this lad is so […]
Of course Jack Wilshere will never ‘replace’ Cesc Fabregas. No-one can replace our captain and as far as I’m concerned he is so good he deserves to be playing in the same team as Cesc, not in his place. However, there is a player out there in this big wide world who Martin Keown reckons has ‘everything’ as a […]
Well if Arsene Wenger doesn’t give either Vito Mannone of Wojiech Szczesny a chance to prove themselves by the turn of the year it seems we could lose both. Mannone has followed in the footsteps of Szczesny and said that he is the answer to all our goal-keeping troubles. Last year I played nine games […]
If we are to believe all that’s written, back in January 2005 Abou Diaby was wanted by the Rich Kids in London. Yep, Chelsea were keen to sign our player but Diarra put him off. Abou had traveled to London whilst playing for Auxerre and had a tour of Stamford Bridge I wonder if he […]
Recent comments written in many Arsenal blogs, all of them claiming the moral high ground as to who is, or is not, a good fan, has made me think; just what or who is an Arsenal fan, and who makes the best or worse fans and how do you decide which is which? First we […]
‘Kick Kicking out of Football’ We fans have seen our very own players get singled out for bad tackles, week in week out and it still continues. Sunday we saw a dreadful case of this on Diaby by Essien, still today I don’t know how he was able to carry on. I thought his ankle […]
That’s what Wenger said after yesterday, ‘We have no big problems’!! However….. To paraphrase French commentator Alphonse Karr, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” So what changed today? Arsenal sported a supposedly improved central defense, and an actual target man. What stayed the same? The result, of course. But also depressingly […]
Here we are at it again. Turn on sky and all you’ll see is Drogba…Drogba…Drogba. Why is this always the case? First and foremost we all know that he has scored 12 goals in 12 matches against us. He has the unparalleled ability to bully most defenders to submission. To prevent this from happening again […]
