Was Gibbs persuaded to Crock Coq or was it a case of mistaken identity? Conspiracy Theorists Unite!
Only at The Arsenal !!! Injuries are a way of life at The Arsenal, Diaby, Wilshire, Ramsey have all had extended stints on the sidelines, via various causes, but never by one of our own. Le Coq has just returned from a two month sabbatical and was looking not far off his best alongside Elneny, […]
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies – Arsenal v Burnley – Elneny to clatter Barton?
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies I’m not normally one for writing previews, but this week I thought I’d give it ago. Sunday Morning (AEDT) Burnley roll into town and The Arsenal continue their second defence of the Emirates (FA) Cup. (That would be a lovely Saturday 3pm for you guys back home) In true Wenger cup […]
Plenty of Gunners at the Euro’s but how may will be in England Shirts?
Our editor wrote a blog recently voicing concerns about the future of the young English Core at Arsenal. Yes we have a talented squad and no less than 6 of the Arsenal first team set up have featured for Hodgson’s England during eh qualifying period – Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Jack […]
The Theo Walcott Conundrum: 10 years on and still no closer to solving it
When Arsenal.com came out with the infographic about Theo Walcott’s ten years spell at the Club, I could barely believe it. I remember very well when he signed, I remember his first appearance and I also have some exceptional memories involving the former Southampton man, however it was impossible for me to believe that ten […]
Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems? Arsenal’s Wage Structure may not be the Worst Thing in the World!
Adebayor is back in the Premier League having recently signed for Crystal Palace. I came across a tweet that took a dig at the player’s lack of loyalty and referring to him as a mercenary. Some time ago, I may have shared that sentiment; but, the Togolese forward’s letter of warning – posted some time […]
Cech says ‘There are plenty of points to play for’ and he is Spot On – COYG
I had a bad feeling about the Chelsea game but I still put on a brave face to watch it. We’ve become a joke against those rotten Blues, season after season and game after game. There is no way that we should have lost that game even after the state of our midfield being what […]
Wenger must find a role for Ramsey’s attributes soon or selling might be for the Greater Good?
It has been a rather depressing few days in the life of Arsenal fans after yet another sickening blow inflicted by the arch nemesis that is Chelsea. Despite the fact the red card we were dealt this time to Per Mertesacker being the correct decision, the sour taste left in the mouths of the Gunner […]
Wenger once again plays blame game in post-match interview
ARSENAL CIRCULAR 130 Judge at the end of the season, not now. There are still 45 points at stake. If, like me, you support the manager and want him to come through and win something significant this season – more than the FA Cup – you have to answer some awkward questions. That is how […]
Sentimentality killed the cat. Arsenal 0 – 1 Chelsea
Sentimentality Killed the Cat? Ultimately, 2 fundamental errors cost us yesterday. A la Lehmann in Paris, The BFG didn’t need to make the tackle. It was 18 minutes into the game, so if Costa had beaten Petr, we had plenty of time. Costa ain’t the quickest, so Per could have stayed with him and held […]
Arsenal’s cunning strategy for breaking down stubborn defences
Today’s Sunday Times carries an interesting article by Jonathan Northcroft based on an interview with Paul Merson. He talks about possession, breaking fast and powerfully, and says that Arsenal have conceded possession as a tactic and achieved better results. Arsenal’s worst defeats have happened when they have had what he describes as “heavy possession”. He says […]
