Suffering With The Cult Of Arsenal

I found myself with Arsenal information constantly swimming around my head with not enough outlet. This cult was driving me a little insane because it was difficult to channel those emotions. So I decided to throw a couple of html pages together, give it a name and pour out my thoughts without spell checking or proof reading anything, It was a bit of a shambles to be honest. Very haphazard but it helped. It was very strange for me when I realised that some people were actually taking time to

What did Grimandi mean by padding out our squad? / Begkamp / Santos

Good afternoon, We are still some way off before our beloved Arsenal stroke the ball around the lush Emirates turf but we have been granted some good news. Some of our walking wounded are off the treatment table and are ready for selection. Laurent Koscielny, Johan Djourou and Sebastien Squillaci have almost ended the center […]

Is Post Cesc Team 50% Completed? / Theo / Reina

Like most Arsenal players these days, Theo's one major enemy is the injury curse that seems to get its wicked way with him more than the usual Premier League footballer. It also seems to take Theo longer to get back to his best after injury than it does to some others in our squad. Should his injury issues persist then Chamberlain will surely have the door open enough

‘Technical risk’ hinders CL place but Gazidis confident we can cope

If our inconsistency post Carling cup continues way into the season then the risk of losing a Champions League place is very real. Personally I think we will find our rhythm and iron out most of our funk plus I don't think that highly of either Liverpool or Tottenham. Even if the worst comes to the worst and we finish outside of the Champions League places we will not suffer financially according to Ivan Gazidis

Is Wenger portrayed like this boardroom story?

Personally I would like to see our club maintain the self sustaining model but increase our wages. We are no longer a middle tier club and much of that is thanks to the great work that Arsene Wenger has done in the transfer window and keeping our Champions League place during our move to the Emirates stadium. I have said it before and I will say it again. I think it is more important to keep hold of our players rather than spend more in the transfer window. If we can do both then fantastic but if we

Why ‘failure’ Wenger is irreplaceable

Can mentality really do this much to a group of players? Obviously it has because here we are. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about the loss of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. I usually do not count Samir Nasri who was often just a fantastic recycler of possession but when he wasn't scoring goals, he wasn't doing a great deal else in an Arsenal shirt. Don't get me wrong, I believe that Nasri will become one of the best players in the world if he keeps improving but for large chunks of his Arsenal

Tottenham (a) Post Match Thoughts: Mistakes and lack of link gift points to neighbours

Typically it was moments later where Tottenham opened the scoring. The defence had shifted towards their left. Alex Song went out to meet Adebayor while both Gibbs and Mertesacker drifted towards Defoe, Sagna usually so good at spotting danger did not react to van der Vaart pealing off at the back unattended. Mertesacker should have also left Gibbs to deal with Defoe. Once again our defence were

Tottenham (a) Thoughts & Line Up: Players need to fight to reestablish dominance

Theo Walcott has been passed fit but we are still waiting to hear if Gervinho will be passed fit, I am hoping that it is mind games from Arsene Wenger just to keep Redknapp thinking. If we are to do well then I truly expect Gervinho to be the player to cause them the most amount of damage. If we have to start the game without Song in midfield and Arshavin on the left then I would worry about our

Diaby to prove doubters wrong if operation successful & The NLD nerves

I don't need to tell you how important Tommy V is to our side, so I won't but I am really crossing my fingers over the fitness of Abou Diaby. There is an obvious split in the Arsenal supporting world about the influence of the Frenchman in an Arsenal shirt but I tell you what, I am massively in the for camp

Olympiacos (h) Post Match Thoughts: CL Victory for Carling cup look-alike team

It is quite apparent that Chamberlain's 18 years means very little, just as it meant very little to Jack Wilshere. He already has the technique, he already has the intelligence. His mixture of pace and technical qualities means that he can impact pretty any level right now. All he needs now is the belief that he is the best on the pitch and experience, once he adds that then there is
