« Previous EntriesNext Entries »Three weeks to define Arsenal Football Club
Morning Gooners.Welcome to what is arguably the most important 3 weeks in Arsenal’s modern history.Reports are leading us to believe that we will see both Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas part ways with our great club within a matter of days for fees of a…
We’ve lost Cesc Fabregas, we’ve lost Cesc Fabregas
Sad times… One of the most talented players to throw on an Arsenal shirt looks set to leave after one of the longest transfer drama’s since Nik Anelka, Ashley Cole or Chamakh! A part of me is relieved. Relieved because this forces Wenger into a corner. He needs a total rethink about how we play. [...]
Cesc Finally Gone, Nasri to follow + 2 new injuries for Arsenal
Adios Cesc Granted, the Fabregas to Barcelona deal has not been officially confirmed by either club, but after yesterday’s reports, we know that barring a major miracle, he won’t be playing at The Emirates next season. It had been coming, a…
Fabregas to be sold before the weeks out.
Bad news, but inevitable news. Cesc Fabregas will finally be sold to Barcelona before the weeks out; The fee will eventually work out to be around £36million for Arsenal, although there is some ambiguity: Cesc has a £4million clause in his contract, …
Neill: Arsenal Need Their Supporters More Than Ever
The continued rumours about whether or Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas will stay at the club is causing tension in the Arsenal dressing room. Nasri was said to have been injured, preventing him taking part in the training game against Benfica, but he has travelled to France to play for his national side this week. [...]

Batten down the hatches, it’s time for the season preview podcast.
So, you know those dreams where you panic because you’ve got to do an exam, you’re nude, the subject is Advanced Accountancy, and your tutor had a suspicious twitch and always in…
Is This The Time To Criticize?
….Arsenal are preparing themselves for Leeds United next weekend. Though the chances of winning or for that matter drawing are pretty low,a rusty draw could be on the cards.And with Arsenal’s best player Denilson starting,things are looking a bit less cloudy.Tottenham Hotspurs(or should I say “THE SPURS”) have just won the Community Shield(having won the [...]
Benfica 2-1 Arsenal, or Another Piece of Silverware Slips Away
Some of you may wonder why Arsenal should care about the Eusebio Cup, as it’s not as prestigious or well know to us as the FA or Carling Cups. Going into today’s match against Benfica I thought the same thing, but a part of me really wanted a trophy of some sort for my team, even if [...]
Arsene has overseen a shocking summer | Joel Campbell and Scott Dann can save us
Highlights Frankly, the whole preseason has been a bit of an embarrassment. We were told contract situations would be sorted out early, they haven’t been. We were told defensive problems would be addressed, they haven’t been. We were told that we’d be busy in the transfer market, we haven’t been. Now we’re a week before [...]
Nasri nearing exit | The real reason Cesc is staying at home | Udinese vs Arsenal…
Well hello there fans of football finery. Today, we have much rumour and counter rumour to speak of. We’re at the end of yet another listless Arsenal week and some interesting stories with no substance have been cropping up all over the place. Firstly though, let’s get straight into the major story and that was [...]
Thoughts on a tricky UCL tie + A “Different” Members Day
It was Members Day yesterday and fans got an opportunity see the players train. It is usually a relaxed and enjoyable event, but this year’s edition had a different atmosphere to it. Apart from the weather which almost crippled the entire event, …
Cesc goes through the motions | Stan is in town to do some deals!
I’ve been asked a few times since yesterday what the Members day was like. It’s a bit difficult to explain because the weather really was torrential, but overall, I’d say the vibe was muted. The players came out one by one to a name announcement last year, all very cringe worthy, all very NFL. However [...]
Beards, moustaches, members and more
Morning all, welcome to the penultimate Friday of the off-season. This time next week we’ll be all like ‘Hurrah! Football’s back tomorrow. Where are my lucky pants which aren’t that lucky at all now that I come to think of it?!’ Despite it all – and ‘it [...]
We won the survey! | Cesc stifled by Barca… for now | Jags and Cahill rumours
So I broke the news yesterday that the club fully expect Cesc to be at open day this Thursday, providing Barcelona stick to their guns in not offering the £40million Arsenal are expecting for him. Poor old Cesc, he’s been hung out to dry by the club of his dreams. This isn’t cause for celebration [...]
Barton on a free | Mata for a massive fee | Cahill and Jags in?
So a few little snippets in the news from yesterday to report on. Firstly, the shock announcement that Joey Barton had been sacked by Newcastle for his comments made on twitter. They’ve severed his contract. Rumour has it, Kenny Dalglish has launched a £15.6million bid, so I’m not sure how far our contract offer will [...]
Arsenal have bid for no one | No one has bid for Cesc and Nasri
Gooooood morning Grover’s! We appear to be in a bit of crap situation here. No one has bid for Cesc and Nasri by the sounds of it and by the looks of things, we’ve also bid for no one… bar Joel Campbell, who if I’m honest, I reckon I could bid for out of this [...]
Jay Emmanuel Thomas joins Ipswich for £1million, Eboue’s off for £4million, whilst Fabregas deal is unlikely to be completed this week
Jay Emmanuel has joined Ipswich for a fee of around £1million which could rise dependent on appearances and success on the pitch. The player has without doubt much talent, however has lacked effort, whilst appearing to be hugely lazy when playing. For…
Lansbury, Eboue and JET… you’re fired | I’d have Mario | New signing canned for Emirates
The clear out looks to be gathering pace this week with Galatasary looking like the club ready to fulfill my 6 year dream of taking away Eboue. Thank Christ eh! I won’t even have to see him back at the Emirates as he’s off to Turkey. He was an average right back, turned poor midfielder [...]
Don’t give Cesc a new deal | Tapping up needs to include player comments | McCarthy in?
Things really don’t move fast when Arsenal are involved eh? The Nasri and Cesc stories have acted like a tar on our summer plans. Instead of sorting it out early we’ve let it roll into August (probably) and now I’m reading Wenger talking about ‘maybe one more’ signing. Early in the summer before I’d spoken [...]
I think it’s time we let our Cesc go.
Ah the summer. It’s filled with the usual rites of passage. Blooming flowers, oppressive heat waves, meaningless friendlies and of course will Cesc Fabregas leave Arsenal for Barcelona.
Sliders and slackers
Good morning from Dublin where the sky is grey and it is teeming down with rain. That really straight falling rain too, the one that makes you extra wet. Miserable as it might be though, if you were playing football today it’d be a great day for the sliding tackle. There really is nothing like [...]
Some top tips for Wenger | Another super kid signed? | Karim… we’ll be seeing you
My solution for Samir Nasri and his contract predicament is simple. Scare him into signing one. Take a leaf out of Don Logan’s book Mr Wenger (Wenger is the bald one in this video)… That’d scare the little chump into putting pen to paper. How about turning to Don for a bit of advice on [...]
Making sense of the transfer rumours
A transfer window that promised so much but so far has been hugely disappointing. It started with high quality players being linked to the club and I thought, is the summer that it all changes? So far it has been the same as other summers, if not more …
New Arsenal striker on the way… or is he? | Can we get a Cesc deadline please?
There are a few things to be cracking on with this morning. Firstly, sad news reached Spanish shores yesterday that Cesc Fabregas had been captured on the milk run by 6 Arsenal stewards, bundled in a Bentley Continental and is currently being held hostage in a luxury mansion where he is free to go wherever [...]
Cesc reveals shocking truth about Barca | Arsenal kick off tour with a bang!
…ahhhhhhhh! Doesn’t that feel good? 90 minutes of football, 4 goals, a clean sheet and a return to routine! It has to be said, for the first two minutes, I didn’t realise we were in blue. That was on account of The Arsenal Player going into melt down. Trying to host a football match on [...]
