Cesc
« Previous EntriesSomething worse than the Swansea loss.
This is not a rant, just the result of a series of calculated thoughts! I was sat in my living room as early as 3:00 p.m (believe me that’s early in my books), waiting for the game, waiting for my darling Arsenal to put little Swansea to the swor…
‘SONG, you are NOT CESC FABREGAS!’ – Arsenal 125th Birthday ratings and review.
Amid the fanfare and celebration a very important football game was being played yesterday. We were host to Everton which seemed to be forgotten after an hour an a half of legends wandering around the pitch. Having your birthday party before work proba…
What I learnt in Greece|Fabregas says he gave Arsenal his best|Identities of the Statues revealed
This post should have come earlier in the day but I was busy with an 8-page Literature review I just submitted. It took my whole morning, but hey, I’ve got more news for you than I would have had I posted in the morning, so it’s all good. F…
Fabregas Speaks – Says Nothing
God knows, the English papers are crap at the best of times - unfortunately an international break that lasts around 8 million years is not the best of times. Fabregas opens his mouth after a meaningless friendly (England are now the best team in…
Fabregas’ honest advice to Wenger: You can’t afford to lose Van Persie
After becoming a first-team regular at Barcelona since his move to the Nou Camp, ex-Gunner Cesc Fabregas has offered some sound advice to both former teammate Robin Van Persie and to Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger. Fabregas said, “I don’t know …
Barca not in for Song… shockingly | Robin replacement suggestion | Genius of Cesc
Alex Song… man of peace… man of pride… the new Mandela? He unites Africa like no other, I’m not a man of politics, but it would be worth seeing if he could unite the middle east in the same way. Barca stuff, a big Barca twitter…
Stand By Me…Well Us.
Arsene Wenger today showed the passion that most Arsenal supporters are looking for but sadly it was a stuttering performance from the other board members. The loudest applause was undoubtedly for Ken Friar as he was awarded his own bust and he l…
Wenger should have prepared better for Nasri and Cesc’s departures
With the long-expected transfers out of Cesc to Barcelona and Nasri to Manchester City over the summer, Arsène Wenger was of course left with the dilemma of finding suitable replacements for the pair at a fairly respectable price. The fact that Arsena…
My Fear That The Current Wage Structure Will Mean More Players Walk Away
I got wind of the questions that were asked about player contracts in the press conference today and like I mentioned on the fans forum, for supporters like us, it’s very concerning that the bridge between our wage structure and other clubs wage st…
Cesc denial… Hmmm… – Top Midfielder Linked to Arsenal – BFC Zinger served up tomorrow
So another one of those Cesc Fabregas interviews he never gave has filtered its way onto the world wide web via Sport Magazine. He’s pretty good at those. Pesky damn journo’s printing lies that will obviously be exposed… Unless of cou…
Will Park start? | Mertesacker wouldn’t have signed if Vermaelen had stayed fit
So after what feels like 16 weeks without football, we’re out the other end gearing up for a what I’m hoping will be a thrilling return to football. Swansea head on over, brimming with naive new team enthusiasm, whilst our squad turn up hoping to banish the demons of the Manchester United spanking they were [...]
Phil Gartside twitter blast costs Bolton £10m as Arsenal look up Mertesacker
L’Equipe is reporting this morning that Werder Bremen’s Per Mertesacker has flown to London for a medical ahead of signing for Arsenal Football Club. Nothing has been confirmed on Arsenal.com yet but if the big German does sign for the Arsenal it will signal an end of Gary Cahill’s chances of playing for the London team [...]
Arsenal want to compete with the best teams in Europe, so sell our best players then.
Yes he really said that at his press conference as he fidgeted on his seat looking nervous, ‘to compete with the best you need to be in the Champions league’ so we’ll throw away our league position in the last three months of the season and when we get into qualifying we’ll do it not [...]
Why losing Fabregas and Nasri is just what we need.
This is a little test, today’s article. I’m intending this site to be more toward opinion than simply the homogenous regurgitation of news stories that are everywhere. Fabregas has gone, Nasri will, and should, follow in the not-so-distant future. 3 … Continue reading →
3 things that must change for true progress | Cesc’s Barcelona upset me with great football
Good morning Grover’s, the word on the street is that part two of our disaster summer should be finalised tomorrow/today with the departure of Samir Nasri to Manchester City. He’s landed a monster contract (£200k p/w) for 3 months work in 3 years. Bravo Samir, I hope you find great happiness at City. Today’s post [...]
Arsenal 1-0 Udinese: Is this Wenger’s weakest ever squad?
Before we begin: a warning. More than ever, I suggest you take my observations with a shaker of salt. Midway through the first half last night, I realised that my eyes are in worse shape than those of whoever scouted Squillaci. I stand at the back of …
Holiday
I arrived back from France, where I’ve been on holiday, to find my new Arsenal (Red) Membership pack waiting for me. Not as nice as previous seasons it must be said, feeling a little bit… cheaper. A cheap plastic lapel … Continue reading →
Ex-Cesc baggage
Online. Sometimes, an internet leave of absence is just what the doctor ordered. I rolled up my trouser legs, knotted my hanky and set off south for ten days, and being too stingy to pay for 3G abroad, I made do without the interwebs entirely. Well, not entirely. When I encountered unlocked wifi (as I [...]
Joel Campbell Arrives London Today|Fabregas to undergo TWO Medicals.
Adios Cesc Morning gooners! It’s the start of a new week and it is one which sees us finally say goodbye to our captain (or ex-captain) if you like, Cesc Fabregas. Arsenal confirmed his departure yesterday and Cesc is due to be unveiled later tod…
Cesc Fabregas – The Story That Did Not Go Away
His finally gone. Cesc Fabregas after eight years of service has left Arsenal football club. Farewell to our club captain and best player (in my opinion anyway). The last month or two may have turned a bit ugly with people having their own…
Newcastle 0-0 Arsenal: Winners & Losers
With the manager doing his best King Canute impression over the transfer of his finest midfield dandies, and the fans permanently on the verge of going a bit rioty over the club’s thriftiness this/every summer, we desperately needed the return of ac…
‘Spend some f**king money!’ Arsenal / Newcastle match report
Chezzer Sagna Vermaelen Kozzer Gibbs Rambo Song Rosicky Gervinho RVP Arshavin The first half mostly saw Arsenal in control of proceedings. It was a fairly typical performance really. Why wouldn’t it be, there weren’t many changes to the side from last year. Gervinho was lively, but like I’d been told by a few people who’ve [...]
Sam: Arsenal survived without Henry and will cope without Cesc and Nasri
So, it’s done. Cesc is going to Barca (finally). Nasri is headed to Citeh. As billions of Gooner fans will testify, that’s what was needed. It’s no use having disgruntled players in the squad, let alone the captain. Cesc was exemplary for us. His telling contributions so many times personified Arsenal. I distinctly remember Arsenal [...]
A new season and a new optimism… or not
When asked on where Arsenal will finish at the start of every season I always say ‘1st’; till now that is. I would probably take 4th place now if I could however, that could change if we add to our squad by the end of the window. Cesc …
Wenger press conference: The beginning of the end I’m afraid
‘I hope for a swift end to the transfers’ Perhaps Arsene you should have been a bit more forceful about that months ago. Losing your two best players the day before the season starts is nothing short of an embarrassing disaster. How could drama like this be allowed to roll on and on in such [...]
