The Facts And Opinions Of Arsenal's January Business

If Arsene works this way then it is no surprise as to why players like Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Arteta, Chamberlain, Arshavin and countless more from previous squads managed to hit the ground running. But like I say, I cannot state this as a fact, this is my opinion. The closest thing to facts though is the result of the transfer window. Have a look around at other clubs and the business they have done. At this point, I imagine a few people saying 'well this is not about them, we are in a position where we need the top four.' My response to that would be that every club has their own aims and goals and that Liverpool and Chelsea have the same aim as we do.

Why Is Arsenal FC Our Football Club?

Arsenal FC just like every single club in the top flight is a business first and foremost and we can dress it up any defeat to Manchester United or more to the point, the reaction Chamberlain-gate and the subsequent fall out

COYG – Come on you Gunners (A New Arsenal Song)

Myself and Roxy who is the main brains behind the operation decided to write a track about the club that we all love so much. Since then plenty has happened and we have had to make changes and write new content as the weeks rolled on. We wanted to do something more uplifting than all the doom and gloom portrayed left, right and center. Roxy, a very good friend of mine and loyal Gooner

Wenger: Theo's Dribbling, Passing & Final Ball Is More Efficient

has had to listen to a lot of unfair criticism as he has been trying to improve his game. The fact that he has stayed fit this season is a major reason why we are now seeing the best of him. Since becoming a regular first team player at Arsenal, he has suffered from niggles and knocks from his

Vermaelen: My Positional Play Has Improved At Arsenal

We have seen positional errors from Vermaelen in the past, he is a player who plays right on the edge and at times has been a little over eager in winning the ball when standing his ground may have been the more sensible option. If playing alongside Koscielny then he may have one of the

Bould: Technical English kids are limited

I think we all saw the difference in technique during the recent under 21s tournament where Stuart Pearce's team failed miserably. It is little wonder that the country is still short in the technique department when people like Tony Pulis and his ilk are being lauded for their direct style of football

Wenger: 'USA And Asia Will Be The Future Of The Modern Game'

Ju Park and the already much loved Ryo Miyaichi are two Asian players who are currently on our books. Junichi Inamoto was another Asian who came to Arsenal on loan from Japan but never quite

Chamberlain: 'There is a lot more to come from me'

He got his chance in the first two Carling cup games sandwiched by a Champions league tie against Olympiacos, all at the Emirates. In two of the three games he was fantastic, scoring two very good goals. In recent games, Chamberlain has been pulled back out of the spotlight and has often failed

Jenkinson: 'Arteta Is Going From Strength To Strength'

I am loving all things Arsenal right now. From Mikel Arteta's quality to Carl Jenkinson's interviews. He is sounding very mature and confident these days. Listening to Jenkinson is like listening to a

Brek Shea Heading To Arsenal Following Klinsmann Advice (Video)

Brek Shea has been dubbed the new Fernando Torres by some which is a tad harsh on the lad. He is only 21 and there is no need to ridicule the poor lad. I guess his upright running style and blonde hair may have something to do with the comparison more than the lack of goals and heavy price tag.
