Just 3 days after out last London derby success, we’re at it again, against Tottenham! I’m proper up for this game, been looking forward to it for weeks and now it’s finally around the corner, I’m nervous as hell! I think it’ll be naive to think form counts in this game, it’ll be about who [...]

Mornin’ Gooners, got my first away game off the season today, West Ham! 2 local derbies in 4 days ain’t great but when it’s against Tottenham, it kind of raises a smile, I’ve been looking forward to the fixture for weeks! Hopefully we’ll see some changes to the team, perhaps leaving van Persie out though. [...]

As you do on a Sunday, I woke up, ate some toast and headed straight down the shops to buy the Sunday papers and guess what was on the back of it? Yup, bullshit. “FABREGAS SNUBS ARSENAL OFFER.” ect ect. I read it and instantly wasn’t even worried, newspapers stirring up shit at Arsenal again? [...]

Afternoon all, a couple of hours away from kick off and no confirmed teams news as yet, although Bendtner, Gallas, Djourou and Sagna are definitely out, huge blows. I read that Gallas was injured during the week and really felt that Djourou had a chance to step up and prove himself but he suffered concussion [...]

..NOT! I’ve been away for the weekend as no blog entries suggest, not that I’ve missed much. Managed to catch the England game in the pub and saw Theo Walcott put in a nice little cameo once again, seems like he has that right wing spot nailed for England, Bentley not even picked, Beckham making [...]

It was about 10 months ago that we really saw Armand Traore exposed at left back as Dani Alves [now of Barcelona] and Jesus Nevas ran riot in the Champions League game. His positioning was awful and it seemed that only his pace could bail him out of situations he put himself in. After a [...]

It’s a subject I enjoy debating with people because there is no right or wrong answer to it, it’s about opinions but it’s also about what you expect him to actually do. I don’t blame Denílson for not being as defensive minded as Gilberto and Flamini before him, I blame Arsene Wenger for not buying [...]

A very good performance from the boys tonight, Wilshere and Coquelin especially, a full report can be read over at Young-Guns, here’s my summary of how the lads did..
Szczesny (7) did okay, made a couple of very good punches, nothing he could do on the 2nd goal but perhaps his positioning for the first was [...]

Finally Gooners, we’ll get a look at Amaury Bischoff! He’s in the squad for the Reserves game vs. Stoke this evening along with Mikael Silvestre. God knows where he’ll play, I read he’s a central midfielder but we’ve got Randall and Coquelin in there, who seems a dead cert to start in the middle, so [...]

Another week passes, more points dropped, the new season has really brought disappointment. A 1-1 draw to Sunderland really isn’t good enough, even if we were 1-0 down in the 92nd minute. I understand how difficult it is to play against a team who play 10 behind the ball, but really, is Walcott effective enough [...]
