A very good evening to you all. Things are fairly quiet at the moment and you have to say that’s a good thing. There’s not a lot to say on the blog because the team is traveling well and there’s very little to complain about. Most of the very minimal negative comments to come out [...]
Today is the 13th anniversary of Arsene Wenger’s managerial career at Arsenal, making him the longest-serving manager in our beloved club’s history. It goes without saying that 13 years is a bloody long time for someone to stick at just about any one job. And 13 years as a top-flight manager at the same club [...]
I was planning on making today’s post Emmanuel Adebayor-free. But then Arsene Wenger delivered this absolute gem of a quote regarding his stamp on Robin van Persie: “You ask 100 people; 99 will say it’s very bad and the hundredth will be Mark Hughes.” Absolutely classic stuff by the manager and 100% (or is it [...]
It’s Friday night right now in Brisbane and not for the first time this week I have to be super-quick. Here’s a quick round-up of things going on involving Arsenal in the last two days: Arsenal have decided to contest the two-game ban handed out to Eduardo for diving. While it is certainly to be [...]
Manchester United 2 (Rooney 59 pen, Diaby 64 og) Arsenal 1 (Arshavin 40) Minute-by-Minute | Video Highlights | Wenger Interview Match Review Arsenal had two defensive errors to blame for an unfortunate 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford. With our boys in control and in the lead after Andrey Arshavin’s first-half cannonball, we self-destructed in spectacular [...]
Hi guys. Apologies for the lack of a post yesterday – a very unfortunate personal situation got in the way of things – but I’m back today with the usual Saturday links. Here goes: We’ve drawn Celtic in the final qualifying round of the Champions League. It’s a tough draw but not the worst possible [...]
We’re just 10 days away from the first game of the season now and things have gone eerily quiet in the world of Arsenal. Suspiciously quiet even. Extremely suspiciously quiet. Sure, there’s been murmurs about Arsene Wenger putting in a bid for Chelsea’s Salamon Kalou after the declaration that he has given up on Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh but [...]
Before I get started on today’s post I just want to thank everyone for their kind words on yesterday’s season launch post. The enthusiastic support I received for my plans for the season were most appreciated and although my beard received mixed reviews, I’m really excited about the potential of this blog going forward. I [...]
Yesterday at work I was speaking to Arsenal FC Blog reader Alan Goat about Arsenal’s chances in the upcoming Premier League season. I revealed to her that I was getting very excited about the start of the season and was quietly confident that the combination of Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo’s respective returns, the failure thus [...]
A very good day to you all. I hope you’re all recharged from the weekend and ready to face another week of whatever it is that you do. I know I am. I’ll start today’s post with some comments from Arsene Wenger. Speaking about the exit of Emmanuel Adebayor and the impact it may have [...]
Hello again and a happy Wednesday to you all. I’ll get straight into things with some comments from Arsene Wenger about the state of his current squad. Speaking yesterday our manager stressed his desire to keep the current squad together as well as delivering a clear indication that he wants to bring in one or [...]
Howdy to all you Arsenal FC Bloggers. I’m watching the Brazil v Egypt Confederations Cup game as I write this so if there are any spelling errors in this post you can blame Kaka, Dani Alves and Co. And just by the by, don’t Brazil just have the best kits in world football? Meanwhile, Egypt [...]
The season is officially over and the boys went out on a high with a 4-1 win over Stoke City. All the goals were scored in the first half as Robin van Persie grabbed a pair to end the season as Arsenal’s top scorer and Abou Diaby scored the sort of header he had been [...]
Congratulations to United First things first today I want to say congratulations to Manchester United on becoming Champions of England for an record-equalling 18th time. As much as I hate those Red Devil bastards – and I really, really do – I can’t argue with the fact that they’ve been the best team in the [...]
I’m taking a break from the Season Review posts today because some pretty serious stuff involving Arsene Wenger and Emmanuel Adebayor has gone down. For those that are unaware, Wenger was requested to appear for a Q&A session with the Arsenal shareholders yesterday and the meeting enticed some very interesting statements from the manager relating [...]
It’s Friday, I’m back and I’m not quite sure where to start. I should probably begin by apologising for the lack of a post yesterday. The truth was that I was utterly exhausted after getting up for two days of early morning-football and emotionally drained from watching us lose to Manchester United the way we [...]
I’m not going to say too much about Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Portsmouth on the weekend for the simple reason that I didn’t get to see it. I came home after a friend’s birthday party to find the score at 2-0 at half-time and struggled to stay awake for the rest of the game. The [...]
