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, […]
Stiliyan Petrov, a true captain
As an Arsenal fan I’ve had a lot to say over things that have happened at my club in the last few days, some not at all pleasant. I have now mellowed following a moment on Thursday afternoon. I watched the news yesterday and saw Stiliyan Petrov back at the Villa training ground. He was […]
Robert Lewandowski- The perfect striker
Well, who didn’t see it coming? Robin van Persie has decided not to renew his contract with Arsenal, leaving him with a year left on his contract before he can move on as a free agent. But I’m not here to whine about Van Persie abandoning us, you can read hundred of articles about that […]
Now to face a series of tests
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 […]

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 […]
