Have The BBC Let A Podolski Sized Cat Out Of The Bag? / Why RVP Will Stay

8th March 2012 admin

With that, I will leave you to share around your Podolski fixes Basically what I am trying to say is that I believe that Darren Dein has told Mancini or someone at Manchester City that Robin van Persie would like to stay at Arsenal and that he will The game against Tottenham was a perfect example. at 0-2 down, the world was close to ending. I felt dizzy thinking about watching those lot celebrate in our stadium, having to read text messages from several Tottenham supporting friends of

AC Milan (h) – Pitches, Rosicky & Fans As The Impossible Was So Close

7th March 2012 admin

This time they faced the real Arsenal, the whirlwind that blew Tottenham out of the better half of North London. I would say though that AC Milan have a right to complain to the powers that be. They must have stepped onto that lush, green, slick pitch and gulped because the playing field had been levelled so to speak. It was now based on footballing ability and not

AC Milan (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Can AOC Pull Off The No.10? & Broken Handbrakes

6th March 2012 admin

Wilshere, Diaby, Benayoun, Coquelin and Ramsey all miss out though injury or illness which is quite amazing. Even Tomas Rosicky is a doubt but I think he will have to be patched up and wheeled out because we really do have no more options, at least from our first team squad. We ended the game at Liverpool with our young prodigy Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the advanced attacking midfield role and I suspect that is the position where he will start the game tonight. That is what I think

Attempting The Impossible Could Be Self Defeating / Liverpool Leave Bad Taste

5th March 2012 admin

Arsenal players go down holding body parts after 'tackles' I a not talking Eboue type of going down, I am talking about warriors like Bacary Sagna and Thomas Vermaelen who do not go down unless they are properly hurt. It is no surprise when you think about the manager they have in charge. A dinosaur who still plays 1980s football. One big man up front, two wingers. Get stuck in, get in their faces and hurt those fancy Dan Arsenal boys, they don't like it. Our players really need to sort that

Diaby Returns For Arsenal – Will Arsene Stick Or Twist?

2nd March 2012 admin

The Arsenal guy hasn't been able to achieve consistency because he finds himself continuously trying to build up to match fitness and also match sharpness. Without a run of games where you are totally free from injury, that is very difficult. The last stretch of games he had was a few season's ago when he played alongside Alex Song, I think it was Arsene's first adaptation of the 4-3-3. Previously it was just Alex Song sitting with two advanced midfielders but during that season Wenger asked Diaby to drop deeper alongside Song. During

Joel Campbell Multitasking Skills, Footballing Gods Listen & AOC’s End Product

1st March 2012 admin

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

Podolski / Injury Fear / Bendtner / Ryo

29th February 2012 admin

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

Walcott the Enigma, Myth busting & Wenger Wonderland – Iron Man's Observations

28th February 2012 Iron Man

Only an idiot would sit there and deny that Tottenham have been on an upward trajectory in recent years while Arsenal have been either sliding in the opposite direction or, if I'm being particularly generous, have stagnated. They have an impressive squad of players, a manager who for all his faults seems to actually know what he's doing and at times, play the kind of football we all enjoy watching but sadly can't simply because it's THEM who are playing it. In this bizarro Premier

AST / Arsenal’s HUGE wage bill / Hindsight Management

21st February 2012 admin

The AST meeting yesterday has got everyone talking, has got people speculating about how we are running the club. It has been understood that Arsenal have got somewhere in the region of £45m cash tucked away in Arsene Wenger's bottom sock draw in his home, I can imagine a crowd of people standing up and shouting until slowly sitting back down in silence as the news filters through that roughly the same amount of money will be lost if the club do not make that oh so desirable

Your Vision – An epiphany plus some thoughts

19th February 2012 admin

Yes some players might leave if Wenger leaves, but really ask yourselves this, how many of this Arsenal team are irreplaceable? I would say with the exception of Van persie & maybe vermaelin the rest are all replaceable. We need proven players with experience, we need the likes of Hazard, Canales maybe even a Snijder, no matter how much they cost, and sadly we need a new manager, a new way of
