It might seem premature to write this when contract negotiations are still up in the air, but if Arsenal history is anything to go by, when one star leaves another unlikely one usually steps up from within the ranks to surprise everyone. I’ve been one of his biggest critics over the years so I can [...]
We’ve seen some absolutely mad games over the last couple of years, and this one probably tops the lot. At the end of the night, an early-round League Cup game I hadn’t thought that much about ended with a final score of Reading 5-7 Arsenal. At half time the Arsenal fans sang “we want our [...]
I’m sure you’ll all be familiar – even those who did not read my match preview – with the statistics flying around before yesterday’s game. Needless to say, Schalke ended a very strong run of form in Champions League home games for Arsenal. As for actual, more immediate form, Arsenal looked much the same as [...]
If Arsene Wenger was a 23-year-old England international who has represented his country at just about every level with 51 goals and 41 helpers to his credit, and knows that several other Premier League teams are interested in him, he’d want to be playing regular first-team football. The Arsenal manager had better keep this in [...]
It’s almost not worth writing articles during the transfer window these days since you don’t know who to believe unless you actually talk to the players themselves. And even some of them don’t have clue what’s going on. Looking over the headlines regarding Theo Walcott and his contract negotiations with Arsenal you’ll see there are [...]
It struck me yesterday that Arsenal’s starting lineup against Sunderland was almost an entirely different team from even two seasons ago. After years of being fairly quiet in the transfer market (apart from selling the occasional top player and signing the occasional teenager), Arsenal have now gone the other way: last summer saw Clichy, Fabregas [...]
We’ve been here before, haven’t we? Too many times. Star player…club captain…one-man team…selling club. The words have lost all meaning. Though I have been toughened up by so many recent experiences (or perhaps simly grown numb to the modern running of Arsenal FC) I have to, as ever, express my disappointment at Arsene Wenger and [...]
Forget about Peter Frampton. Theo Walcott might have been on the pitch for just 30 minutes, but the Arsenal forward could very well have been the man of the match in England’s exciting 3-2 win over Sweden in their Euro 2012 tilt on Friday. With Manchester City’s James Milner being pulled off in the 61st [...]
THEO Walcott is not a good footballer. Those are the, er, wise words from former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson, who these days earns his corn as a pundit. Now, I am not as clever or experienced as Robson when it comes to football. But am I alone in thinking that, in fact, Walcott is a [...]
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has suddenly become a wanted man, if not by the Gunners then reportedly by London neighbours Chelsea. Rumours have been circling around that if Arsene Wenger is fed up with the enigmatic youngster then Roman Abramovich is willing to open up his wallet to sign him. And according to former Gunner [...]
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott firmly believes that his club has the ability to bounce back and defeat Premier League-chasing Manchester City when the two sides meet at Emirates Stadium this weekend. The Gunners had been in excellent form until recently when their run of seven-consecutive league victories was abruptly ended by the 2-1 defeat that [...]
ARSENAL star Theo Walcott was the target of a News of the World phone-hacking tap, it has been revealed. The tabloid newspaper hacked into the phone of Walcott’s girlfriend Mel Slade’s Dad John in an attempt to get gossip about the Gunners ace. It has emerged that cops investigating the phone hacking scandal broke the [...]
Arsenal made easy work of Aston Villa yesterday with a 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. In doing so, the Gunners made it seven league wins in a row, and did not concede a single shot on goal to their opponents; they are the first team to do this on more than one occasion this [...]
There comes a time in every relationship where you have to wonder, “where is this going?”. That’s where I am with Arsenal right now. My love for the club is strong, but they’re so up and down I wonder how well I really know them. I think I’ll end the relationship metaphor there, as I’m [...]
Fortunately, Arsenal get an extra day of rest after their heroic efforts against AC Milan, with a crucial Monday night fixture at home to Newcastle United. The players were visibly exhausted by the end of Tuesday night’s game at the Emirates, a match in which they had truly given their all, but ultimately come away [...]
The line “I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that” comes to mind when listening to Arsene Wenger in today’s post-match press conference. “I must say we will do anything to keep him. I cannot say much more because I have said that many times,” said the manager, who was adament he [...]
So often the story with Arsenal is now well we played and how unlucky we were to lose. Quite the opposite today as we inflicted a first home defeat of the season on Liverpool. A header from a cross and a volley from a lofted through-ball – not exactly Arsenal-like goals under Arsene Wenger, but [...]
Sorry, Spurs fans. You’ll have to wait yet another year to attempt a league double over Arsenal, with the Gunners putting their neigbours to the sword with a superb 5-2 fightback at the Emirates Stadium today. The game continued the goal-crazy trend for games between the big sides in the Premier League this season, with [...]
This week, American businessman, billionaire, and possible future owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers Stan Kroenke flew into London in order to publicly express his full support of Arsene Wenger. Arsenal’s board of directors has had some interesting topics to discuss, which include, but are certainly not limited to: Robin van Persie’s future with the [...]
A first win of 2012, seven goals, a striker in the form of his life, and one of the most exciting young talents in the country. Finally a day really worth cheering about. The emergence of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, in particular, is great news for the club. In recent times Arsene Wenger seemed to have lost [...]
Three goals in seven second half minutes – that’s all it took for Arsenal to win a game in which they were otherwise unimpressive. While the comeback was miraculous and the result crucial, many problems still remain. As has been the case for the last month or so, Arsenal started at a pedestrian pace. While [...]
Here we are on the verge of our 4th round FA Cup tie with Aston Villa, and yet I find myself still thinking about the substitution of Oxlade-Chamberlin in last weeks 2-1 loss to Manchester United. With the way Wenger was talking it makes me wonder if he is getting his apologies, or should I [...]
Six years ago to this very day, Theo Walcott signed for Arsenal Football Club at the age of just 16-years old. The teenager, who had set the Football League Championship and the south coast alight whilst playing for Southampton, was signed by Arsene Wenger just a couple of months before his 17th birthday. After a [...]
Brady on a bike! The tabloid transfer-o-meter haas been cranked up a notch this morning in the papers with speculative stories abound pertaining to the team supported by venerable leader of Cuba, Fidel Castro (apparently he is a long-standing Gooner). A quick run through the tales that have made the back pages to kick things [...]
