I feel sorry for Cesc Fabregas. I really do. He must have had some serious ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf’ moments as a child because no matter how many times he commits himself to Arsenal people continue to doubt him. It’s really rather ridiculous. I can’t be bothered dissecting and explaining the latest collection of Cesc […]

Greetings all. While it may have been announced a little while ago the new Arsenal away kit officially goes on sale today. For those who have been living in a cave for the past month or so (I’m looking at you Travis Johnstone) the new Arsenal kit is a dark blue number with pinstripes and […]
Hello again and a happy Wednesday to you all. I’ll get straight into things with some comments from Arsene Wenger about the state of his current squad. Speaking yesterday our manager stressed his desire to keep the current squad together as well as delivering a clear indication that he wants to bring in one or […]
Well, I may have said “Farewell!” on Friday but here I’m back again on Monday with some very intriguing transfer news. There were reports floating around last week that Arsenal had agreed a deal for Ajax central defender and captain Thomas Vermaelen, with £11 the apparent fee. And while I initially wrote the news off as […]
Today is the fourth in a series of posts reviewing Arsenal’s 2008/09 season. Last week I reviewed the performances of our goalkeepers and defenders and on Tuesday it was the midfielders. Today it’s the attackers. Carlos Vela It’s been a season of good progress for Carlos Vela. Despite having limited opportunities he scored a memorable hat-trick in the Carling Cup […]
Congratulations to United First things first today I want to say congratulations to Manchester United on becoming Champions of England for an record-equalling 18th time. As much as I hate those Red Devil bastards – and I really, really do – I can’t argue with the fact that they’ve been the best team in the […]
I’m taking a break from the Season Review posts today because some pretty serious stuff involving Arsene Wenger and Emmanuel Adebayor has gone down. For those that are unaware, Wenger was requested to appear for a Q&A session with the Arsenal shareholders yesterday and the meeting enticed some very interesting statements from the manager relating […]
A combination of Easter-related obligations and a difficult family situation means a very brief analysis of Arsenal’s 4-1 win away to Wigan. Here goes: (+) The jury is still out on Lukasz Fabianski. In my last post I asked if the Polish goalkeeper was ready to step up but the evidence from Saturday was fairly […]
Emmanuel Adebayor may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he produced a moment of real craft and quality to put us within touching distance of the Champions League semi-final. With just over 20 minutes to go and Arsenal trailing to Marcos Senna’s early thunderbolt, Adebayor cleverly controlled a chip pass by Cesc Fabregas on […]
There may have been a two-week International Break sandwiched between this game and the last, but Arsenal picked up where they left off at Newcastle to produce a performance of real class and quality to beat Manchester City 2-0 at The Emirates. Emmanuel Adebayor and Cesc Fabregas were back in the side after one and four-month […]
