10-2......????

05:11 AM, Wednesday, 30 July 2008

Yep last nights score line! Burgenland were seriously poor, I mean Sunday League poor! The defending was absolutely shocking, for a key example of this see Vela's first two goals...So I mean not much to analyse, I mean will have been great for the confidence of Bendtner (4 goals), Vela (3 goals),...

Stand up and be counted

09:58 PM, Sunday, 27 July 2008

Anticipation is building once again for another new season, players coming and going, pre-season friendlies starting to whet the appetite whilst newspapers and agents (and Hleb) are spewing more shit than a sewage run off. Transfer speculation usually dominates the summer months, and boy has ther...

Could we? (lest I forget)

10:49 AM, Sunday, 27 July 2008

So after writing down that I am concerned about next season I forgot two major players in the squad: Robin van Persie and Tomas Rocisky. Yes, how on earth could I not include them in the squad review!  Well, maybe if they could last more than a few...

WIll we, or won't we?

07:11 AM, Sunday, 27 July 2008

So there is less than a month to start the new campaign and in looking at the Squad, where do we sit?  Cesc is there, joined by Nasri and Ramsey, but is that all? Is Song the answer? And what about the back line?  Will Toure be well enough for the start of the...

A quiet few days...

08:22 PM, Saturday, 26 July 2008

For The Gooner Guru and for Arsenal... been extremely busy this week so not had any time to post for a while but then nothing new has really happened either...Of course there was the 1-1 friendly, a very boring encounter, although Bendtner and Walcott crafted out an impressive goal. Bendtner...

Wenger, Hleb, Nasri, tomorrows match

07:50 AM, Tuesday, 22 July 2008

So after the Barnet game Wenger said we could expects signings, but he was unsure as to how many and where. Later in an interview with BBC London this turned out to mean one certain signing, and a maximum of two (click here for full article and radio recording of the interview). My initial...

Arsenal 2 Barnet 1

07:50 AM, Sunday, 20 July 2008

The yearly trip to Underhill saw Wenger start a handful of first team starters, a few squad players, and a couple of youth/reserve players. The big names of Fabregas, Toure, and Gallas were left out of the squad as was the big summer signing Nasri, coming of age boy Alex Song, and returning...

A lot to be done in the transfer market

08:54 PM, Friday, 18 July 2008

So at the start of the summer Arsene stated his first ambition was to hold on to our star players... well since then we have lost a Alex Hleb whether this will be a loss or a gain is up for debate. He was integral to a lot of Arsenal's forward moves, however his stats do paint a very poor picture...

Gilberto set for Panathinaikos, Hleb to Barca

08:55 PM, Wednesday, 16 July 2008

After accepting a bid for £1 Million from Panathinaikos it appears Gilberto will complete his move away from the Emirates stadium... It is a sad day to see the man dubbed 'The Invisible Wall' walking away from his Arsenal career but it is certainly understandable. He spent the majority...

The Anchorman

07:51 AM, Wednesday, 16 July 2008

Who will be anchoring Arsenal's midfield this season? With Mathieu Flamini swapping London for Milan, speculation has been rife as to whether Arsene Wenger will be replacing the tenacious, moderately-talented heel-snapper with an incoming transfer, or promoting from within. Flamini had been emplo...
