Having ended his 17-year association with Arsenal, Jack Wilshere has said that the main reason he chose West Ham United as his next club is because he was a boyhood Hammers fan; and most of his family support them too. They announced Wilshere’s arrival on a free transfer on Monday, with the 26-year-old agreeing a […]
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, […]
Just opening up a thread for comments and discussion on today’s game. Some potential talking points to get things going: Lukasz Fabianski’s season-ending surgery, Alex Song and Denilson out for the game and Cesc Fabregas’ week-long asassination in the media. Enjoy! Have your say on Arsenal v Newcastle by leaving a comment. Loading…
Speaking at his press conference for the Huddersfield game, Arsene Wenger made this statement about the goalkeeping situation: “At the moment Wojciech is number one. He has done nothing wrong for me to take him out.” It is as bold a statement as I have heard him make about our goalkeepers in a long, long […]
In the aftermath of our 1-0 defeat to Manchester United Pete Triplow from The Beautiful Groan (a hugely underrated and relatively unknown Arsenal blog) made a very astute observation: “It is a popular myth that you have to be perfect to win the league. You constantly hear how ‘Arsenal can’t win the league without a […]
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 […]
It might be Tuesday, two days after the great win over Manchester City, but if you’re feeling anything like me then you will still be grinning like an idiot. The post-match comments have focused mostly on the players widely considered to have been out most impressive performers at City, goal-scoring extraordinaire Samir Nasri and goal-saving […]
Arsenal produced a professional second-half display to dispatch ten-man Manchester City 3-0 and move up to second place in the Premier League table. So often in the past the big moments have gone against us in the big games but after Mark Clattenburg showed tremendous bravery to send off Dedryck Boyata after four minutes for […]
There’s not too much Arsenal news floating around today (it often happens on a Thursday when we have a Sunday game, with the manager’s press conference not until the afternoon) with the best of it coming from the mouths of Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Lukasz Fabianski. Cesc has stated that he believes this week’s […]
I have to keep things very quick this morning so I thought it best just to include Arsene Wenger’s comments from his weekly press conference regarding player availability for Chelsea on Sunday. “I don’t know [about Cesc]. It looks a 50:50 but a 50:50 balancing on the negative side. I will find out on Saturday […]
