So the new look Chamakh has had all the papers and media talking since our penalty against Birmingham on Saturday. Now I’ve had time to think and take on board just how many other sides have beaten or even nicked a draw off of us in the past with a dodgy decision, I don’t give […]
Result….Clearly. Coming in with only a solitary point from the last nine available, at home against a difficult side, but one that we are nevertheless expected to beat, this had to be about three points. As it was, we celebrated our first win in four league matches, but not without some controversy and frustration along […]
Nikki Bendtner is back today, as is Theo Walcott, both players divide fans opinion. Theo had started the season firing on all cylinders before injury struck him down, again, but, Nikki will be involved for the first time this season…. Regardless of our opinion though, the man’s whose opinion matters reckons we are soon to see the […]
So that’s it; you’ve been blogging for a while now and people seem to like the things you say; maybe you’ve even written a post or two and received some OK reviews. Maybe it’s time to spread your literary wings, perhaps with a magazine article or some short stories; maybe even a book… A book…? […]
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 […]
