Having endured Wednesday’s night torturous performance, I’m sure many of you aren’t enjoying yourselves being Arsenal fans at the moment. Having gone into the international break with a satisfying win over West Ham United, club football returned at the weekend with Gooners up and down the country feeling optimistic and positive ahead of the action.

Late Giroud equaliser bodes well for Arsenal (Video)
It may seem like stating the obvious but Olivier Giroud’s dramatic late equaliser to give France a deserved point against an all-conquering Spain side may just be looked upon as one of Arsenal’s most important moments of the season. It’s fair to say that the former Montpellier hitman has not had the easiest start to life at […]
VIDEO: Giroud Review
And so, the wait is over! Oli Giroud has finally found the net in a Premier League game for the Arsenal. Hooray! Boy it was worth it wasn’t it? No? OK just me. Either way I feel that we should take a moment to reflect and revel in the greatness that is Olivier Giroud. We […]
VIDEO: Arsenal fans: Give Giroud time, he will come good
Ah Olivier Giroud. It isn’t quite the dream move you were initially hoping for. When it was announced that the giant Frenchman had signed for Arsenal, fans were excited at the prospect of the 26-year-old leading the front-line with similar prolificacy to what he showed with Montpellier. Giroud fired in 21 league goals to help […]
Oli G needs some Va Va Voom
4 appearances – 0 goals. That is all the papers are focussing on. Not the fact that Arsenal as a team are streets ahead of where they were last season. This time last year, the Gunners had shipped 10 goals (8 of which occured at Old Trafford – a debut to forget for The Ox), […]
We need to go forward, not Bac
Bacary Sagna has publicly criticised Arsenal’s transfer policy in light of Alex Song’s recent departure from the Emirates, and not many will disagree with the Frenchman’s concerns. Having already lost Robin Van Persie to rivals Manchester United earlier this summer, the sale of Song to Barcelona has left Sagna and Arsenal fans bewildered. Gunners supporters […]
Is it too late for RVP?
The Robin van Persie saga took another dramatic twist on Tuesday, as fresh reports claim that the Arsenal captain could in fact sign a new contract after all. Despite signalling his intention that he would not be extending his current deal last week, it now appears that RVP may now be prepared to stay at […]
Valid replacements or cheap alternatives?
The summer began quickly and in unprecedented fashion for Arsenal, as two major signings were made before 1st July. Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud joined the club from FC. Koln and Montpellier respectively and look set to bring firepower to the Arsenal forward line. With Captain RVP so publically declaring his desire to leave the club, […]
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 […]
A summer that could define Monsieur Wenger
The summer of 2012; a defining summer for both the direction of the football club, and the destiny of Arsene Wenger. The club, while learning from last summer, has once again put itself in an unfortunate position of letting yet another star player run his contract down to just one more year. WTTGT
