ARSENAL CIRCULAR 127 There is a warm-hearted community character to football. The minute’s silence for a recently deceased favourite or the alternative – the energetic applause. Both work and both represent a coming together of fans in numbers to display affection and remembrance and solidarity. But football is capable of the opposite and at Stoke we […]
Hello and welcome to Stoke City vs Arsenal LIVE… brought to you by Arsenal’s official car and van rental parter Europcar. Arsenal no longer sit at the top of the table as they go into this second away trip on the bounce after overcoming an early deficit to pick up a point in Wednesday’s Anfield […]
We travel to Mordor on Sunday and, having dropped points on Wednesday, now need a win. City have thumped Palave and vastly improve their goal difference over us and Leicester despite surprisingly dropping 2 points at Villa aare now top Leicester continue to amaze everyone. Way back, before we took on City I think, I […]
Steven Howard in today’s Sun continues with his critical note about our prospects to win the Title. He calls us “The Great Pretenders”. It makes for a good headline but in fairness to him he makes a point that is on the minds of all of us. Have we got the inner strength? Can we […]

There were rumours that Wenger had suggested that he was prepared for the hard pressing onslaught that typified Klopp`s approach […]

“Traditionalist I maybe but I am coming round to the view that a mid-season break is a good thing. Too many players in too many Clubs are experiencing injuries which may have more to do with stress and fatigue than bad tackles or unlucky challenges.
