Arsene Wenger Signing two top strikers to replace one outgoing striker seems to be a change in the right direction for Arsene Wenger. Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud are unproven but they have enough of a mix of pedigree and or potential for us to be confident. If they can each chip in 15 goals […]

Arshavin the Enigma
After Andrey Arshavin had completed his first half-season at Arsenal, few could imagine that in just three years he would be regarded as one of the most frustrating players ever to ply their trade at the club. He is undoubtedly capable of brilliance, we know this from that day at Anfield, the shot against Man […]
So nearly an Arsenal Legend…
So the news that every arsenal fan was dreading has finally broken, Robin Van Persie has made a statement in which he declares he will not be signing a new contract. He says that in his meeting with Wenger and Gazidis ‘it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on […]
Van Persie V Arsenal – What Does it Mean for the Future?
Robin Van Persie shocked Arsenal fans all across the globe with his recent announcement. His intention to quit the club was clear, but, as may come as a surprise, this is not the reason it made such an impact. Obviously no-one is happy with us losing our best player. In case you needed to be […]
The King is dead, long live the King
So Robin Van Persie is not going to sign a new contract. Are you surprised? I know I’m not. He is 28-years-old and has been at Arsenal for eight seasons. In that time he has won just one major trophy – the FA Cup in 2005. Surely a player of his ability deserves to have […]
O Captain, My Captain
I do not care if Robin Van Persie wants to leave. Players come players go this is football and given the state of current football with the ‘sugar daddy’ culture in our league we have to accept this is part of our game now. What I do care about is Van Persie being handed the […]
This season coming
After a season of more ups and downs than a Thorpe Park rollercoaster, and more emotions than a Sinead O’Connor song, I think I speak for all Arsenal fans when I say a steady, consistent season is what we need; however the likelihood of that happen is utterly obscene. Nothing is ever, ever consistent and […]
Are Arsenal a Premier League team with a Non League Medical Team?
Yes this subject has been starting to get under my skin and once I analysed it and made active comparisons it dawned on me where we have to lay some of the blame for no trophies in seven years! After going to the States and South Africa and been a typical sports mad bloke, I […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year?!
July. Wet, rainy, football free July. How on earth can this be considered the best time in the calendar for football fans I hear you cry? Simply because of all times of the year it is the greatest of them to feel that wonderful emotion. Hope. WTTGT
Early signings look good but Van Persie holds the key
The signings of Lukas Podolski and Oliver Giroud, plus the possible arrival of Yann M’Vila, are encouraging signs, but are they really the type of players Arsenal needs to challenge for the title next season? Podolski appears to be a direct replacement for Andrey Arshavin, while Giroud, at 6ft 3in, is the obvious choice to replace […]
