Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright says he hopes Stan Kroenke’s purchase of the club does not see them go down the Chelsea/Manchester City route. Under Roman Abrhamovich, Chelsea were allowed to buy their way to success with numerous big name signings joining in quick succession, and in 2008 Manchester City became the richest club in … [More]

Andrey Arshavin says Arsene Wenger and the rest of the team are still determined to win the Premier League title for Arsenal this season. Draws with Sunderland, West Brom and Blackburn in recent weeks have seen the Gunners fall behind main rivals Manchester United in the league, but Arshavin believes the team could be back … [More]

By Vic Crescit After the retreat of the Gooner Nation from the fiasco that was our performance against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Wednesday night we need to focus all our attention on tomorrow tea-time’s game at the Boleyn Ground against the ‘Appy ‘Ammers. If we play as we did on Wednesday night it … [More]

Following a scan this afternoon, Arsenal Football Club can confirm that Cesc Fabregas has suffered a small crack in his right fibula as a result of the collision with Barcelona defender Carles Puyol during Wednesday evening’s match. As a consequence, Cesc will miss the remainder of the domestic campaign as he will be out of … [More]

Everton have agreed a deal with Arsenal to bring in defender Philippe Senderos on loan until the end of the campaign. The 24-year-old Swiss international joined the Gunners in December 2002, but has found himself surplus to requirements and spent last season on loan at AC Milan. A statement on Everton’s website confirmed the deal … [More]

by VIC CRESCIT Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Somebody at the club must have repeatedly run over a black cat in a tank. Yet again the injury curse has struck. Robin van Persie will be out, as things stand at the moment, for at least six weeks. He did his right ankle … [More]

by AKSHAY Before the start of the season, Arsene Wenger had said in an interview that youngster Aaron Ramsey was very close to breaking through into the first team and that he had a set him a target of 15-20 games this season. Before the match against Wolves, barring his two starts in the league … [More]

by JOSH My friend posed this question to me on Sunday morning after Cesc moved to the top of our goalscoring charts for this s   eason.  Was this just another knee jerk reaction after a sumptuous run of form, or is Fabregas turning the corner from potentially world class, to one of the best … [More]

For some, this may be a controversial article but I felt the need to write it when I saw all the criticism Diaby received after the United game.  Let’s put things into perspective quickly; everyone bar United fans and Fergie knew that we deserved to win the game, with only a nightmare 5 minute spell … [More]

Looking at the strikers linked with the club I really hope that stats may decide how Arsene Wenger spends his money after the sale of Adebayor to Man City. Not since the departure of Thierry Henry have we been graced with a clinical goal scorer. Thierry Henry’s goal scoring record was 174 in 254 appearances. Many … [More]

Hands up those of you who watch Serie A football and knew about this player? A report carried in today’s Daily Mail suggested that Arsene Wenger is about to bid for Felipe Melo, a wonderfully gifted Brazilian who plays for Fiorentina. I have to confess that for once I had not even heard his name mentioned on our site as a possible replacement. … [More]

This week Arsenal fans have read about the futures of both Gael Clichy and Philippe Senderos.  Their futures seem to be very different with one likely to stay and the other to go.  Although it seems obvious that Clichy will be at Arsenal and Senderos elsewhere, the way this summer seems to be panning out … [More]

Theo Walcott proved last night in the England senior team’s 6-nil crushing of Andorra that he is close to the final product. His contribution to setting up Lampard’s goal was an example of Theo providing end product after a blistering run down the flanks. All night he was subjected to rough tackles and often ran … [More]

Despite a wide array of attacking talent available to Arsene Wenger, it is clear in my mind that Kolo Toure is the most important player at Arsenal right now.  In the last week, Kolo has stood firm (touch wood!) while Gallas and Djourou have both suffered knee injuries.  Now it is Kolo’s time to show … [More]

  Many of you will not have followed the legend that is Robert Pires, since his move to Villarreal.  The parting of the ways between Arsenal and Pires could, and looking at what he had done for this club, should have been better.  There was a sense of regret, blame and pain associated with it.  … [More]

Nine Gunners played in International fixtures for their countries yesterday and most came through Unscathed. B. Sagna – Played a full game with France who beat Lithuania one nil courtesy of a goal from Franck Ribery.

There is no doubt that Andrey Arshavin has been a major catalyst in Arsenal’s change in goalscoring form.  Even though his first two league games ended in 0-0 home draws, as a team, we looked far more dangerous than we had in the previous stalemates in the League.  Once he settled into the side a … [More]

An embarrassment of riches is defined by Wiki as an idiom that means an overabundance of something, or too much of a good thing, that originated in 1738 as John Ozell’s translation of a French play, L’Embarras des richesses (1726). Well Arsene Wenger will shortly find himself in that position when the likes of Rosicky, … [More]

Oh dear. Our treatment room must look like the set of Casualty. Eduardo’s hamstring has landed him back where he’s spent most of the last year – under treatment. I think we need an exorcism of the injury gremlins or something. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre, as Arsčne might say.

We need a good song for Arshavin for the LaneSo this is getting serious…We have had suggestions of songs for Arshavin based on old Arsenal chants for Vieira, all well and good.But this guy was calling himself a Gooner moments after he got officially signed.So why not lets have a song with a distinctive Russian … [More]

In the aftermath of a point we didn’t really merit on the run of play on Merseyside last Wednesday night, is it time for the players to sit down and have a VERY serious word with themselves? I think so.

In 1945 the Dynamo Moscow football club toured Great  Britain, including a game against Arsenal. The Russians won and in so doing sparked a mini-controversy. Their supporters and Russian sympathizers more generally claimed that Arsenal  was in effect an English national team, so good where they in an age that predated foreign imports. Anglophiles said that Arsenal, … [More]

  Ok, so everyone is salivating at the prospect of Andrei Arshavin coming to the Emirates, and as usual Fabregas the King is going to play party pooper and dare to suggest that this is all a fuss about nothing. I argue that if anyone with half a brain sat down and looked at the … [More]

Patrick vieira feels that Arsenal’s problems off the field are due to the team being divided. He was interviewed on Sky sports talking about Arsenal’s problems and William Gallas and how the loss of the captaincy affected Gallas. He maintains that William Gallas is determined to prove that he can still contribute to success at … [More]
