Received Wisdom
Hands up those who know what Received Wisdom is? Well done, all two of you. It seems a lot of Arsenal fans are ignorant of, if not the meaning of the phrase, at least the application of it. An Example … Continue reading →

Boring
Boring! The team? The performances? Well neither, really, at least not what I’m talking about today. Today I’m talking about ex-players. Ashley Cole remains one of the best left backs in the country, but his behaviour whilst still at the &#…
Proof that Arsenal will score more goals this season.
Someone questioned on the blog yesterday whether our new line-up would be able to score enough goals, so I thought it would be interesting to compare the goalscoring prowess of the new players against those who have departed based on past performances. Now I realise that stats are generally just a way of manipulating figures [...]

Gervinho: We will survive without key duo
Arsenal’s newly acquired forward Gervinho maintains the club will move on should they not be able to keep hold of wantaway captain Cesc Fabregas and contract rebel Samir Nasri.

NP Column: Clichy’s farewell dig at Arsenal, Wenger’s dig at Mancini
Good day Gooners. Right, let’s get this ranting stuff out the way. Gael Clichy, the man who left us after 8 years to join Man City, came out and said he left because he wanted to win trophies. “After spending eight years with Arsenal it would have been easy to sign a new contract to … Read more

Clichy Not Used To Hard Tackling
Ex-Gunner Gael Clichy is getting used to a new way of training since he joined Manchester City. According to James Milner he isn’t used to facing hard tackles in training. Milner told the Sund: “Gael hasn’t been here too long but he’s seen a few tackles fly in. He’s surprised at that because at Arsenal [...]
A game of two extremes
Remember the 07/08 season? Remember St. Andrews in February? Eduardo had his leg broken, Walcott scored a brace to win the match and then Birmingham were awarded a penalty in the last(ish) minute. That penalty was given away by Gael Clichy. It wasn’t a penalty. He got the slightest of touches on the ball. To … Read more

One out, sagas continue, spinal trap
Greetings friends. You find me reinvigorated this week, having spent much of the last week on a remote, sun kissed Channel Island, watching the sun set over the English Channel from cliff tops and supping upon beer that costs £2 a pint. But most crucially, for four whole days I had no access to my [...]
Weren’t we supposed to strengthen the team? We need a replacement for Clichy, Alex Song is charged with assault!
This summer was supposed to be about building up the team by keeping our best players and strengthening it where necessary. Ever since the season has gotten over, we have been waiting for quality players to arrive and also at the departures of the dros…
Goodbye Gael & Thanks For The Years
Let’s start with the obvious. Gael Clichy has moved on from Arsenal Football Club. His departure was confirmed yesterday and Manchester City are his current employers. That concludes his 8 years association with us and he becomes the last of the Invincibles to leave the club.Any player that joins a new club will have a [...]
Has Wenger just weakened Arsenal FC or has he weakened Manchester City??
So there we have it, the first of what many think could be a few exits out of Arsenal Football Club. Gael Clichy signed for us back in 2003 as a young un and now here we are, eight years later and he’s left us for Manchester City and as far as I know and [...]
So what’s Arsenal’s next Move?
So its official last night saw Clichy become the first high profile player to leave Arsenal (tears, tears). The buzz on Twitter was huge after the signing and Arsenal fans for the majority were hurling abuse the way of Clichy and his representatives. …
Clichy goes, time for Arsenal to show intent
So, the first ‘big’ Arsenal transfer deal of the summer took place yesterday and to nobody’s surprise it was a player leaving, rather than one coming in. Gael Clichy was sold to Manchester City for a fee believed to be around £7m. Not bad for a player in the final year of his contract and [...]
Clichy Move, Gibbs Step Up. Here’s My view.
Gael Clichy finally moves from Emirates. I guess it is not a surprise move. Maybe he’s been looking for the move for a long time already.
He goes to none other than the Arsenal Reject club, Manchester City. I guess ManCity really want to build a s…
Au Revoir, Gael Clichy
Well, the first meaningful transfer news of the season and to be frank, it’s not exactly a positive piece of news. Our very own Gael Clichy, the last of the Invincibles, has left Arsenal today to join Manchester City on a 4 year contract.

Goodbye Gael Clichy, You’ll Be Missed
I haven’t had the chance to gauge the general sentiment of the fans about the transfer of Clichy to Man City so I will just share my views. I think this transfer is good for all concerned. From the player’s point of view, this move will give him a fresh start in a completely different [...]
