Over the last few months we have heard managers moan about this, that and the other. Some is justified but a lot is just moaning for the sake of it. Yesterday morning though while watching Sky Sports as you do, waiting to hear all the news coming out from Arsenal, I stopped and had a […]
I touched on this the other day but it appears that it’s today Arsenal will announce record profits – and that they have paid off all the debts on their Highbury Square development six months early. This means that we will get a £30 million windfall after selling off around 90 apartments The Emirates Stadium costs are covered with ease from […]
Great news came out the Arsenal Camp yesterday that Kieran Gibbs has suffered severe bruising to his left foot and should only be missing for a couple of weeks – I am sure I was no different to any other fan in dreading that he had suffered a long-term injury – he was ‘massive’ against […]
What a night!! Fabianski, Eboue, Djourou, Koscielny, Gibbs, Wilshere, Denilson, Nasri, Rosicky, Lansbury, Vela were given the task of going head to head with Arsenal Football Clubs most bitter rival in this Carling Cup match. On the bench sat, Manuel Almunia, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Andrey Arshavin, Craig Eastmond, Marouane Chamakh and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. Good […]
Kids v’s Yids do not go together!! And I mean that, why go and play a bunch of ‘kids’ against our most bitter of rivals and not give ourselves a chance of winning a trophy this season. Added to that, it’s not a game against Crewe or Oxford, it’s against the spuddies down the road, a side […]
Oh how I laughed yesterday when these words from Big Sam broke in the news. There is a problem with perception. Arsene is seen as a sophisticated Frenchman while I’m just a rugged English centre-half from the Midlands with an accent to match, but is Arsene more advanced than me in terms of coaching? Not […]
The undeserved point! I’m talking about Arsenal, not Sunderland. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a one-sided game and we were on the receiving end! We were the ones making the dodgy tackles, not Sunderland. Thankfully they weren’t nasty tackles but stupid ones nevertheless! The early stages of this game saw a […]
Just before we look at today’s game just a little snippet from Arsene Wenger which I think is bloomin harsh on our dynamic winger 😉 Wenger was talking of AFC.com and reflecting back on our Champions League loss to The Dippers in 2008. Walcott came on as a 72nd-minute substitute and went on a brilliant […]
Fear breeds aggression – that’s a simple enough truism.We see it in nature, when an otherwise placid animal feels cornered and becomes dangerous. We see it in daily conversation, when the loser of an argument fears ridicule and so resorts to anger and insult. We see it in our schools, when the ‘intellectually intimidated’ band […]
Of course I am not talking about Arsenal, in fact not really even Braga but this morning I am sure many in the media will try and take the gloss off of our result last night by suggesting ‘Its only Braga’! You can only play the side you are up against and Braga as we know, have […]
We are now about to begin a new but all familiar journey to try and claim Europe’s ultimate football prize. We have had lots of ups and downs over the years, Arsene Wenger has said he has sleepless nights wondering why this trophy has eluded him for so long. The closest we have had to […]
Twenty three years ago last Thursday, our new blond in the camp, Alexander Dimitri Song Billong was born in Douala, Cameroon. He is the nephew of Rigobert Song who was to be a very influential figure in his life. He was the one who steered Alex towards football and gave him support during his early […]
