Adetuwo ‘Yemi Jr. is back again to rate the Arsenal performances at City… Fabianski: Had an amazing game. It so surprising what a good run of games can do to one’s confidence.

AFCB editor Andrew Weber rounds up the day’s news… Nasri unlucky again Before the start of the 2009/2010 season Samir Nasri suffered a broken leg in an unfortunate training ground incident involving Abou Diaby and missed the first two months of the campaign. He recently spoke of his frustration over that injury and a desire […]
