Another day, another rumour of an injury spell on the sidelines, this time for poor old Tommy Rosicky. If the rumours are to be believed, then he'll need surgery on his knee and an anticipated spell in the treatment room will see him unable to take part in any games for the next two months. [...]
Hello hello you wonderful peers of mine. I hope you're not too caught up in your own inner torment and moroseness as we hit the halfway point in the week. The bad taste of a weekend defeat may still be lingering like a little morning breath (despite having brushed your teeth to within an inch [...]
The fallout from the weekend's game still appears to be reverberating around the social media sphere, with Arsenal fans still disappointed with the opening weekend's result, but time will hopefully heal. It just takes a little longer when you have no frame of reference i.e. It's the first game of the season and you don't [...]
The official dot com site must be as excited about the return to football as us lot, because despite the fact that Arsène's presser isn't until a little later this morning, we have a veritable smorgasbord of stories to pour over before Le Boss even takes centre stage. Thankfully, they're all positive, unlike the news on [...]
The Arsenal murmurs at the moment appear to surround the potential lengthy absence of Wilshere through injury and if it is as bad as being rumoured - out until approaching the New Year - then there is real cause for concern for everyone. Not so much for the squad, because I think we have the players [...]
I've noticed quite a trend developing in young players who go out on loan - sign a new deal first, then get shipped out. It's obviously to protect the club their contract is owned by, retaining the players value, but it does surprise me that it happens so often. We had Joel Campbell last January [...]
One of the most pleasing outcomes of yesterday's victory over Chelski was, for me, the response of Jose Mourinho. This is a man who has no qualms over having pops at other managers with whom he does not have a good relationship with, so to see him frustrated enough to bemoan Arsenal's tactics yesterday, was [...]
Today's game is a win-win for me I feel. I normally get really wound up before any Arsenal game. Cold hands and feet as my circulatory system begins to re-route blood to my vital organs, set about by a feeling of unease that instinctively my body has told me that there is danger. When Arsenal [...]
Stability is a place called Arsenal these days. With the announcement that Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla have both renewed their contracts with a four and three-year deal respectively, we have seen two of the recently unanswered questions be unequivocably dealt with by the club. In terms of keeping the continuity of the squad together, only the inking of [...]
"You want a striker?" Yes. "You want a striker?" Yes. "YOU WANT A STRIKER?" YES! "FINE! Here's a striker. Now get out of my office!" That's what I imagined Arsène's response to be to those people who are practically gnawing their arms off with the fact we haven't signed a striker yet, after it was [...]
