Another Gooner was amongst the action last night one that hasn't made the Arsenal shirt just yet as he is on loan to improve his chances of obtaining a work permit. Costa Rican Joel Campbell scored for erm Costa Rica against Wales. A very tidy finish it was as well. I have only watched the odd highlights as well as the obvious YouTube compilation and one thing is obvious, he doesn't suffer from the Gervinho syndrome. In fact quite the opposite he looks like he could wash up

AOC on the other hand has contributed all of 4 Arsenal goals & 1assist (am sure we all remember that one, even Arshavin does) in the 16games he has played in, taking his goal contribution versus games to... wait for it,... 31%! Now before we all start yapping about age difference and all, i took the pains to track down 19yr old Theo's stats for you, which read 39games, 7goals, 5assists back in the 07/08 season. The goals contribution was errr... ahem, 31%! Ofcourse Ox hasn't

I have spent far too long talking about something that hasn't happened so I just want to cross my fingers and hope that all the Arsenal boys return to the club in good health and without wanting to ask for too much, I wouldn't mind if our rivals were to suffer from a few set back. Only because I believe desperately in equal rights. We have had more than our fair share of

The Lukas Podolski to Arsenal train has been picking up momentum in the last few hours since German outlet Bild if you can speak German then I guess that link would be quite useful. So what do I make of this then? Well you know when players say that they want to concentrate on playing and then have a look at the contract situation in the summer, well that is pretty much how I feel about this. Good player, would improve the squad but at this moment in time it is all pretty irrelevant. It is February, the season does not finish until May and the transfer

Spurs being the best thing since sliced bread, the best Tottenham team since the Premier League began whilst screwing Arsenal up into a ball and throwing us in the bin and labelling us as the worst Arsenal team in history, yet here we are. Both teams having a weeks rest, both teams pretty close to full strength even if arguably our best creative talent is yet to kick a

The Spuds came into the Emirates high on more confidence than cocaine can give, and were hoping to give birthday boy Emmanuel Adebayor the head of AW on a silver platter with another of those blinding performances they have been displaying every week. What's funnier, is that the game came at a time when the balance of power is supposedly shifting, with Spurs playing the kind of football that previous Arsenal teams have been known to have copyrighted. With barely four minutes on the clock, Louis Saha set about writing that

My post Wenger concerns are not how the new manager will work with the players he has it is how he will continue to build squads in future. My concerns are not about how a new manager will motivate his players in a home game to lower opposition it is whether or not he will buy Stewart Downing over Francis Coquelin, Ryo Miyaichi and Oxlade-Chamberlain. So many players want to leave their clubs

That said, a move away from Arsenal was certainly the best thing for Andrey Arshavin. He has fallen behind Theo Walcott, Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain and often Yossi Benayoun. He was only getting cameo appearances off the bench and was never going to regain his form by playing a bit part role. He has been out of sorts for a while now and to be honest, it would have made more sense if he moved

The idea that Arsenal could blow £100m on transfers and wages is quite simply laughable. It doesn't take much research to show that more often than not we balance the books by selling what we spend and like I find myself recently repeating ad infinitum is that we have always run the club like this and it is not some tight fisted ego trip of the manager like some still try to pedal. I assume that Arsene's budget depends on Champions League qualification which I guess is pretty obvious. The guillotine will fall on many squad necks but that

Our objective of financial fair play and self-sustainability means the boss is reluctant to spend £20 million on a wonderkid. Sign Hazard! Sign Gotze! Instead, we have to settle for some unknown two-bob teenagers like Oxlade-Chamberlain. What a load of bollocks he's been. In life, there is always a trade-off. This may sound a bit rich coming from a sixteen year old, and by the fact I learnt this term in my economics class, but the fact is, Arsene's deep lying love for this club has been his
