First it was Andre Schurrle, now it’s Yoann Gourcuff; Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is desperate to secure a replace for Theo Walcott, should the England international turn down a new deal at the Emirates Stadium. Walcott has been linked with a move away from the North London side, with his current contract set to run out next […]

Wenger needs to stop persisting with Santos
In the aftermath of Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, Jonathan Northcroft proclaimed on Twitter that “even a blind-drunk beautician, with dodgy waxing apparatus, couldn’t produce a worse Brazilian” when referring to left-back Andre Santos. The burly full-back has come under staunch criticism from the Gunners faithful and the media alike following a number of sub-standard displays in […]
Andre Santos and the Twitter Trolls
Those troublesome Twitter trolls have been at it again. I like to Twitter, it did take me a while to come round to the idea but I think it is a fantastic forum for people to share their views on anything they like. WTTGT
Santos in Shirt Swap Shocker
Swapping shirts is nothing new in football. Players swap shirts as a mark of respect for one another after a match has finished; a symbol of unification for two men on opposing teams. One of the most iconic world football images is of Bobby Moore and Pele swapping shirts at the end of a World […]
Scoring Against Your Old Club
It’s happened to all of us hasn’t it? Your club’s mercurial striker is sold and goes on to score against you. There’s nothing worse. That is why it was good to see Robin Van Persie’s muted celebrations against Arsenal as he scored the opening goal for his new club Manchester United in their fixture on Saturday. WTTGT
Time to go Arsene
Two minutes was all it took for Robin Van Persie to vindicate his high-profiled, widely maligned move to Manchester United. The scene was fitting. Arséne Wenger and his travelling army of Arsenal fans, visitors in the Theatre of Dreams, were forced to watch their Dutch hero in the shirt of their fiercest Premier League rivals – and be subjected to […]
Was Vermaelen the wrong choice as captain?
We often hear the not too uncommon term ‘the captain should lead by example on the pitch’ when referring to football skippers. The man who is given the armband is nine times out of ten the best player in the squad, and is one that can roll up his sleeves and inspire his teammates when […]
Will Arsenal adapt for Walcott?
Fresh from his match-winning performance at the Madejski Stadium on Tuseday, Theo Walcott has said he is happy for Arsenal’s sixth goal of the night to be awarded to defender Carl Jenkinson. The goal would have been Walcott’s third of the game, allowing him to exercise the traditional right of claiming the match-ball after scoring a […]
Modern day footballers, what clever boys (Video)
“They say footballers aren’t the brightest lot” said former Arsenal striker Niall Quinn after seeing these two numpties. In a game that has dominated the internet today for its incredible score, and likewise shocking defending, Arsenal’s French duo Francis Coquelin and Olivier Giroud thought they would try and stand out even more.

Game, Set and Match. About time for Arsenal fans!
Arsene Wenger summed it up excellently last night when he jokingly claimed “that’s the first set to us.” The Capital One cup has always been the lowest priority for Wenger over the last few years. You would think that this would excuse a woeful first half, but with several Internationals playing (Walcott, Arshavin, Djourou, Koscielny), […]
