Another Inactive Week on the Transfer Front

Following Saturday’s performance, we were slightly buoyed yesterday to be linked with Arteta, Kaka and M’Vila.  Wenger has also gone on record that we are looking bringing in experience and we are looking at a couple of buys, this was however qualified with the usual, we are not near bringing in any players yet. Today, [...]

Arsenal In Dire Straits

It’s now or never for Wenger.  The squad is the weakest since Arsene’s reign started that there is no doubt.  Suspensions and injuries are mounting and we have only played three games.  Our squad for today included two players who are outward bound and contained 8 youngsters. Whilst we could see the potential in both [...]

Arsenal v Liverpool: Team line-up

When you remember that we have 6 first-team players nursing injuries, and that Gervinho and Alex Song are serving their first game of a three-match ban, predicting Wenger’s starting line-up for this afternoon has become quite difficult. For this reason, I have decided to put my team prediction in a separate article from the normal match preview read more »

A team in tatters

At 32 years of age, I’m not sure I’ve headed towards a season with this much ambivalence since the glory days of signing Chris Kiwomya and Eddie McGoldrick. Oh, what a coup it turned out to be… the vision, the … Continue reading →

Quality redefined by Wenger | Mauro Zarate wanted by Arsenal | Phil Jagielka seen at an Airport

Passion For The Cannon

To say the least, it’s been an interesting week. We have that mess of a game away to Newcastle, the transfer of Cesc, and the first leg of a Champions League qualifier all in relatively short succession. There is one other occurrence that has developed of late that is rather worrying: the fan response to what has [...]

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 →

6 years with no trophy and he gets one in 10 minutes!

TweetSeeing Cesc Fabregas last night (Wednesday) coming on for Barcelona made me cringe! It was so weird seeing him in a Barcelona shirt but I guess this day was going to come sooner or later. What hurt even more was how Fabregas seemed to just come into the side and play for 10 minutes as [...]

Has Wenger Lied to the Fans Once More

At the end of last season we heard that this was going to be a busy transfer window, Arsene Wenger had stated that we lacked some experience, we were weak in defence and all Arsenal fans cheered.  At last Le Boss was prepared to spend money to resolve our defensive weaknesses both at the back [...]

Tim Payton got it spot on | Song out for three games – chance for Frimpong to shine? | Udinese pose a threat

Samir Nasri has been making some noise and Tim Payton from the Arsenal Supporters Trust responded by saying: “Nasri’s tweets are inappropriate.” That was after the outburst from Nasri about the away Arsenal fans, who according to Nasri, were being “disrespectful.” He also said he is still an Arsenla player.

The end of a Fab era

I’d been preparing for the exit of Cesc for two years but I couldn’t still bear it when it finally became a reality. Arsenal has lost a great player but as the saying goes; the king is dead! Long live the king! Arsenal would continue withou…

Cesc Finally! It’s a huge, huge relief to finally see him gone. Not that he was not a good player but he is not committed enough to the cause. Will we miss him? Well, go back and watch the Newcastle game and tell me what you think. That game was as flat as it can [...]
