Worrying signs...

04:35 AM, Wednesday, 27 August 2008

Well I was fortunately at a festival this weekend so missed the so called 'abysmal' performance we displayed on Saturday at Craven Cottage. From what I have read we lacked creativity, lacked drive, and our normally consistent players put in a poor show.I am not going to try and analyse the game...

I told you so...

Well I hate to say it... but I told you so. Silvestre has joined Arsenal, Wenger still wants one more signing, and it has opened the door for a loan spell...So starting with the latter its some very good news, Armand Traore has joined Portsmouth on loan for the season. Harry and Tony will look...

Mikael Silvestre - a good signing should it happen

07:27 AM, Thursday, 21 August 2008

So reports in this mornings papers suggest that we could be on the verge on hijacking Silvestre's proposed move across Manchester to Eastlands, and reports from Myles Palmer (bit of a twat) even go as far as to confirm tat he was seen both at Highbury House this morning, and at the training...

Season Opener

08:44 AM, Monday, 18 August 2008

I didn't get a chance to see this week's game because of a combination of being on the west coast and the fact the game was on Setanta. BOOOO!!! Watching it live at a bar at 6:45 A.M.unfortunately wasn't an option (mostly because the bar isn't open). We beat a bad West Bromwich...

1 nil to the Arsenal...

06:45 AM, Monday, 18 August 2008

Well like some other Gooners I'm sure I was feeling a little nervous coming into this game missing 9 players from our squad. There was to be no underestimating the importance of a good start to the season. If we want to forge a title challenging season then we really need to hit the ground...

So the new season begins....

08:03 PM, Saturday, 16 August 2008

and I hold more optimism at the start of this season, than I did at the start of last season. Then again I didn't foresee the team transformation in the wake of Henry's departure, it really did allow us to vary our style of play and ultimately to become less predictable not always looking to...

The new season approaches... but what happened this summer?

06:32 AM, Tuesday, 12 August 2008

Just a few days until our season starts with the Champions League qualifier against McLaren’s men, FC Twente. Most of the team you would think picks itself, if injury free, with just the central midfield position next to Cesc still a major talking point amongst fans. But another position which ma...

A real concern going into the season...

09:37 PM, Saturday, 09 August 2008

Well last night saw us beat Ajax 3-2 in a game of two halves. At half time we were losing to a 2-0 defecit, only for us to 'do a Bolton' and turn it round to a 3-2 victory. Yes it was entertaining, yes it was exciting (even if it was a friendly) but there are still some very concerning signs...

Adebayor and Van Persie... the most effective partnership for Arsenal?

06:54 AM, Tuesday, 05 August 2008

Well, suppose I had better quickly mention the Emirates Cup... it looked very much like the preseason tournament it was, some slow lazy performances, but a few players looking to make that impression. Of course Ade wanted to win round the fans so insisted on taking the match winning penalty...

Is Toure the Answer?

09:00 AM, Saturday, 02 August 2008

Now, I have been known to come up with crazy ideas. Some have been fun, some have ended up with one or more of my friends in A&E at one o'clock in the morning. That was just part of the joys of student life. Some of you may remember i wrote an article back in March about the...
