Arsene Wenger is insistent that the Premier League title race is far from over. Many pundits are suggesting that Manchester United will continue their excellent form and secure the title in the coming months. Then, should they slip up their main challenge will come from Liverpool and Chelsea. However, Wenger does more than suggest Manchester [...]

ARSENAL: TOO MUCH DEAD WOOD?
I’m currently watching the Arsenal v Everton game from May 2005 on Arsenal TV, in which Arsenal won 7-0. Scoreline aside, I’m watching this and I’m thinking this was one of our greatest squad of all time. Our starting line-up consisted of the likes of Campbell, Cole, Lauren, Vieira, Bergkamp, Pires, Reyes and van Persie, [...]

WRIGHT-PHILLIPS AN ARSENAL FAN?
Just watching the coverage of the Cardiff v Arsenal game on Setanta, and they’re talking to fans about predicting the result. Am I the only one who saw Shaun Wright-Phillips with an Arsenal hat and glasses on?? If anyone can get a picture or video of that it would make my day. Come on Arsenal, [...]

CARDIFF, ARSHAVIN AND A “CUP TEAM”
Cardiff City tomorrow in the FA Cup, and without knowing what the starting line up will be I’m still very confident of nothing but a convincing Arsenal win. It seems that Fabianski will play in goal, and Gibbs may start at left-back in place of the suspended Clichy. Whether Ramsey will play or not is [...]

ARSHAVIN DEAL ON OR OFF? LET’S NOT PANIC
Firstly, let’s all not panic if we do not sign Andrei Arshavin from Zenit. I’m confident that we’ll sign Arshavin, but I don’t believe Wenger is focusing all of his attention on the player, and he will no doubt have a back-up plan if the deal falls through. Let’s face it, excellent attacking midfielders are [...]

SAMIR NASRI: PROOF THAT HE IS NOT 21
Here is proof that Samir Nasri was not born in 1987. There is absolutely no chance in the world that a 21-year-old would ever wear a rollneck jumper. I don’t care what part of the world he comes from and however unfashionable he is, it’s just not possible. This is clear proof that Samir Nasri [...]

ARSHAVIN A DONE DEAL, AND KRAZY KAKA TALK
Following on from Arsene Wenger’s press conference where he announced that he was confident of finalising the Arshavin deal within days, I’ve never felt so assured and confident about signing a player. “I am very hopeful,” “Days? Yes, because the transfer window will close and we have already crossed halfway. It will be days. But, [...]

FULHAM WARNS ARSENAL OFF BULLARD – WOULD YOU WANT HIM?
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has told Arsenal to forget about signing their star midfielder Jimmy Bullard. It has been reported that Arsene Wenger has targeted the England man as cheap replacement for the injured Cesc Fabregas. The Arsenal captain is out for three months with a knee injury and Bullard follows Mikel Arteta as the [...]

ARSENAL 1-0 BOLTON: DIABY THE NEW VIEIRA
How long before people stop saying that? I mean Diaby being the new Vieira. After the 1-0 victory over the ever defensive Bolton, Diaby played in the fans favoured position in front of the back four, and to be perfectly honest we knew what to expect and he didn’t fail to deliver. He was absolutely [...]

ARSENAL: WHO SHOULD WE SIGN?
I’m sure everyone is getting sucked into all the media reports linking us to anyone and everyone once again. With this in mind, who would you realistically like us to sign? There is talk of a swap deal involving Kolo Toure and Michael Johnson or Stephen Ireland. For me, Stephen Ireland is the Player of [...]
