Arsenal have agreed a fee, believed to be around £22 million, to sell Samir Nasri to Manchester City. It’s unbelievable to see him go really, considering he only joined the club two seasons ago. He’s an ambitious, confident footballer who knows what he is entitled to and in many ways it will be a shame […]

There’s a game on tonight but for some reason I am thinking about transfers. Cesc is gone — for those that missed it — for an enormous sum of money. Nasri is probably on his way too, to Manchester City, and that should only increase our transfer funds. But how will it be spent? Splashed […]
Sit back and watch the best of the 2011/2012 Premier League season live with Sky Sports HD. The prospective news that the FA may call off the opening round of Premier League fixtures could prove to be a minor blessing in disguise for the Arsenal. With the exits of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri approaching […]
The following is a guest post from Gareth McKnight of Soccerlens.com. The next two weeks may very well make or break Arsenal’s season, as the ongoing transfer sagas of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri are potentially set to be solved, and the current squad’s abilities to be assessed on the upcoming pre-season tour to Asia.

This is the first part of AFCB’s 2010/2011 Season Review, focusing specifically on the players primarily used across the front three last season. Each player has been giving a report card-style rating (ranging from A+ to E-) as well as the justification for their rating based on their progress and overall performance over the course […]

He stops Barcelona’s attack dead like a wave breaking on a rocky shore. He pauses for a moment, deliberating over what to do with his second or two in space. Soon confronted by an […]
It’s Arsenal v Barcelona tonight and while you might think I’m stressed out about it, I’m not. I reckon we’re going to give them a hell of a game tonight and my goodness I’m going to enjoy it. I analysed this fixture to death last season and in the end my words were virtually useless […]
This is not a proper match report — I am still in Sweden for another two days and things will get back to normal for the Manchester City game on Wednesday — but a quick look at the things that stood out to me in our comfortable win over Birmingham. Firstly, the squad rotation. Arsene […]
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 […]
The atrocious quality of the stream that I used to watched today’s game against Fulham has left me feeling completely unqualified to make any poignant observations about our performance as a team. But even through the stuttery, blurry mess of a stream I feel confident enough to sing the praises of two players that I […]
