Wenger bats Barca out of the room & Early Wolves talk

11th February 2011 admin

Arsene was rather dismissive of the Barcelona game in midweek, he didn't even contemplate talking about that game, he just picked up his bat and whacked it out of the press room. The focus is solely on the Wolves game and rightly so. I am kinda feeling that way myself to be honest although I have been frantically trying to gather up my Arsenal buddies and have an Arsenal lads Footy Feast of an evening but in terms of the football, the

Uncover your eyes, Gunners appear unscathed & Red-top common sense shock!

Tomas Rosicky scored for his country against Croatia and that will hopefully do him some good. He started the season so well, so much so that we didn't miss Cesc who was yet to have the required fitness under his belt at the time but in recent weeks he has looked way below his best. His substitute appearance on the weekend (can't remember the score of the match) was pretty horrific to be honest. He is much much better than that and he is still a player I think very highly of. I thought he would have a big part to play this season, I really did but that hasn't been the case so

Your Vision – Thoughts on a surreal Saturday – Was that real?

5th February 2011 admin

Well after all, it is THE Barclays Premier League, “supposedly” THE best premier league in the world, attracting some, if not all of the world’s best players, some very good teams, boasting of a top 5 or 6 (very unlike a top two Messi-Ronaldo blessed La Liga) etc. Why the heck shouldn’t it be? Have I gone off on a tangent? Definitely yes, maybe no. What the heck, I just figured it. It is the massive disappointment, after the game

Newcastle (a) Thoughts & Predictions: Diaby & Wilshere to form an intriguing combination

5th February 2011 admin

Like I have already eluded to earlier, I expect Diaby to be a key figure in our performance. A player who can pull out an amazing piece of skill which will open up 10 yards of space and then misplace his next pass from five yards away. Usually the latter only happens when he is not quite up to speed and perhaps he isn't at his sharpest yet but mistakes should be limited as his role maybe a little simplified

I assume Cahill or Samba had unchecked boxes & Transfer insanity

1st February 2011 admin

So what about Liverpool FC? Who have been in the shit for spending far too much money under Rafa Benitez. A good chance to save the cash for the summer, when more targets come available and the price comes down. A chance to invest well around the squad with at least four players young enoughg to improve and add real quality all over the pitch. Surely they have learnt from previous mismanagement and they can now restructure their transfer policy. No? Well it appears that only Arsenal fans are used to intelligent financial management, but this cannot be said for

A Good Sign for Arsenal?

1st February 2011 William Benn

The league match after that is against Sunderland however and they too have lost their most prolific striker of the past few seasons. They will undoubtedly miss him – he scored some irritating goals against us - and with the much improved Wellbeck currently injured you have to fancy our chances against them. Gyan is a player I like and will of course cause us problems but I am still glad to face them

Everton (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Performance must improve to avoid sticky Toffee’s

1st February 2011 admin

The Russian has some big shoes to fill but if he can find his best form then he is fully capable of stepping up to the plate and producing the goods. Nasri was very important to the team because of his link up with Cesc and Van Persie, so it will be interesting to see how Arshavin plays with his creative

Huddersfield Town (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Squad depth grows as four return

30th January 2011 admin

He may not be everyone's cup of tea but Abou Diaby still remains one of my favourite players. A player with fantastic ability and has the ability to completely dominate midfield battles. Patience may well be required as Diaby is often quite a slow starter after injury, his West Brom performance earlier in the

Your Vision – Why It’s Not ‘Only’ The Carling Cup To Me

26th January 2011 admin

Down the road, however, the family which looked after me after school were going mad. A family of keen Arsenal fans (including one Myles Palmer), they were as happy as I was indifferent and there must have been something in the way they talked about Arsenal that flicked a small, red switch in my brain. It wasn’t long before I declared myself to be an Arsenal fan and a commemorative cup winning Arsenal shirt on my birthday in December made it official.

Ipswich (h) Post Match Thoughts: Wembley beckons as Arsenal close to taking the Mickey

26th January 2011 admin

Andrey Arshavin who is still not back to his best, delivered a pin point corner to the head of Laurent Koscielny who nipped in ahead of Martin Fulop to head into the net. His rounding of the belly celebration would indicate that his partner is pregnant, so it was a goal fully deserved. His second goal for the Gunners in a wonderful first season. He has developed a great partnership with Johan Djourou and appears to have ironed out his errors. I have no doubt that he will become a world beater for
