Arsenal at St James' Park. I didn't see the highlights but I am guessing that Per Mertesacker didn't have his best game defensively along with his team mates. It just goes to show that even the best of teams can suffer the type of shame that we witnessed on that eventful afternoon in Newcastle a few
Arsenal fans. Wilshere capped an amazing debut season by being voted both Arsenal player of the year and PFA young player of the year; just rewards for a personally successful season for the 20 year old. Unfortunately injury struck and Wilshere was forced to miss the entire 2011/12 season
Arsenal win and the only thing you can find within you to talk about is the salary that Ivan Gazidis earns or how much 17 year old reserve defender takes home. Fair play if that wets your appetite but when it comes to maths. But when Arsenal win and the only thing you can find within you to talk about
Bacary Sagna's comments to French press may not be as accidental as we imagine. Inter Milan are now being linked with him and it wouldn't surprise me or indeed be anything new if Arsene decided that it was time to cash in on a player who had suffered two leg breaks in a short space of time at his age. This is not to say that I would like Sagna sold, it just wouldn't
Arsene felt it necessary to turn straight to Sagna then we could be in the position where we change 50% of our back four in one fell swoop. I am not sure how good that would be for the understanding that has developed since pre season, but funnily enough if I asked at the end of last season as to what I expected our back four to be then I probably would have gone
Arsenal should have been awarded a penalty which was waved away. Matt Taylor caught Aaron Ramsey's leg in the box but Phil Dowd decided that it was not enough to award a penalty. It was a shambles of a refereeing display by Dowd and to be honest, it is nothing new
Arsenal box whenever they had the ball. No beating around the bush, no mixing it up just *TWACK* get under the ball, poke your elbows out, give it up em because Arsenal don't like that sort of thing. On that particular day, we dealt with them fantastically well. Manuel Almunia was a solider. Yes, you heard that right. He came and caught everything,
Arsenal midfield. Per Mertesacker's absence was another surprise but instead of being dropped, he was ill with some type of sickness that appears to be doing the rounds at the club. Oliver Giroud is
Arsenal, if he was going to stay then he would have signed a new deal already. Theo Walcott already knows which club he wants to go to and how much they are willing to pay him. That is what his agent
Jack Wilshere played his first competitive game since pre season last year. I was at the game and watched him hobble off the pitch but I thought to myself that he doesn't look too discomforted so he should be ok. How wrong I was. A couple of operations and setbacks later, he has started his recovery and of course we should urge caution. We have seen what a long injury can do to a young player like Aaron Ramsey and god forbid Abou Diaby who was only 19 when the despicable Dan Smith decided it would be a clever thing to crash into his ankle for no reason. So we have to play the waiting game, look at what his
