Jens Lehmann has defended Mesut Ozil for his performances at the World Cup, insisting that the playmaker suffered as a result of fitness issues. The 29-year-old midfielder was vilified by his countrymen for an abject display, though Lehmann believes he was not at his optimum best. World champions, Germany crashed out at the group stages […]
It’s fair to say we’re yet to see the best of Shkodran Mustafi so far on the pitch – perhaps that will change under the new regime – but he has played a useful role off it. The German convinced his compatriot, Bernd Leno, to join us from Bayer Leverkusen in a €22m deal and, […]
Arsenal have agreed a deal for Bernd Leno, according to reports from ESPN. It is encouraging that Unai Emery has addressed this area as a matter of urgency, because we’ve arguably not had a world-class goalkeeper since David Seaman left. Jens Lehmann of course did superbly in the Invincibles campaign but in the last […]
One: Robin van Persie and Abou Diaby had an altercation in the changing room at half time of the game against Blackpool as a result of the Frenchman’s needless first-half booking for kicking the ball away. Two: Jack Wilshere said that Jens Lehmann was so vocal and passionate on Sunday that it was like having […]
I’m writing the report for this game super early this time, partly to make up for the lateness of last week’s post and partly because I’m just so bloody excited we managed to win! Our boys scored three of the sort of goals that only a team like Blackpool will concede to secure a 3-1 […]
Given the strong form of Lukasz Fabianski over the past month, Wojciech Szczesny’s impressive performance against Newcastle United and Arsene Wenger’s unconvincing comments on Thursday afternoon about the state of his elbow injury an important question now needs to be asked: is Manuel Almunia’s career at Arsenal over? In the manager’s usual weekly press conference […]
I have had some requests from people via the comments and on Facebook to do an article on what Arsenal should do if Cesc leaves. But to perfectly honest, I can’t really see the point. As things stand he is an Arsenal player. Until I see some quotes from the player, the manager or the […]
As you’re probably well aware we have now entered another international break and that means no more Arsenal until next weekend. I’m not happy about it and I very much doubt you are either. Sigh. As a result of the players taking a break from Arsenal I’ve decided that I will too. There’s rarely any […]
So, just as I predicted, Russia are through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 after outclassing Sweden 2-0 overnight. It’s just a pity that Andrei Arshavin didn’t net the first or I would have made quite a little bit of cash on a first goalscorer bet. Ah well. You have to marvel at the brilliance […]
If there is ever an indication that things are quiet in the world of Arsenal it is when Arseblogger has nothing to talk about. And while that happened to be the case yesterday, thankfully he was able to pull out this gem of a post. Kudos to you Arseblogger, you crazy Irish bastard. As for today, […]
