AFCB special columnist J’ammanuel Egnoue brings us the first edition of his new weekly column… Greetings and salutations! I’m a world-famous celebrity actor J’ammanuel Egnoue. When not acting, I’m playing professional football for Arsenal FC. I can also speak Korean! Sometimes I even practice my acting while playing football. You see when Stevie G tackled [...]

Done & dusted. The Group Stage coughed up its final death rattle yesterday with an absolute snooze fest between Brazil and Portugal and North Korea took yet another drubbing. How bad was Brazil V Portugal? So bad that whistles over boring play could be heard well before the final whistle and both sides were booed [...]

Three live matches a day. Plus at least one match a day on DVR for your player reviews. It’s enough to start dreaming football, and not in a good way. Sure enough I had a rather strange one the other night involving Joe Strummer, Smithy from “Gavin and Stacey”, the away stands at Wigan and [...]

I look forward to days like this. I can honestly say “I only came to see Eboue”. Match Day 5 saw Emmanuel Eboue’s Ivory Coast/Cote d’Ivoire men in orange take on the diving Ronaldo’s of Portugal in yet another goalless draw. Seriously, Cote d’Ivoire and Portugal should not go without a goal between them. In [...]

Update: If you want news about the inevitable signing of Sol Campell, go here instead. * * * Thrilling Arsenal transfer news will not be found here today. Indeed, when “Angola 2010: Eboue starts with a draw” is the headline on the official Arsenal website it’s a fairly big indication that it’s a quiet news [...]

There’s all sorts of stuff involving Arsenal going down at the moment so I’ll quickly summarise. Saturday and Sunday saw the Arsenal boys play in the Emirates Cup and two wins over Atletico Madrid (2-1) and Rangers (3-0) meant that we picked up the trophy for the second year running time in three years. I must [...]

Kolo Toure is now a Manchester City player after completing a transfer believed to be worth around £16 million. The Ivorian’s move has been confirmed on the official Arsenal website as well as the City one with Toure signing a four-year deal with his new club. First things first I want to say that I wish [...]

I’ve compiled a list of interesting Arsenal news and blog posts from the weekend. Enjoy: Inter Milan and Brazil defender Maicon has told supposed Arsenal target Felipe Melo that he would be more than good enough to start for the Italian champions. Bordeaux have rejected the notion that we are going to sign Marouane Chamakh. Emmanuel [...]

Hello again. I hope you’re well as we race towards the promised land that is the weekend. There’s quite a lot of Arsenal transfer speculation floating around today – and that seems as good a place as any to kick things off. Two names in particular are getting a bit of exposure and those are [...]

Last week I reviewed the performances of our goalkeepers and defenders over the course of the season and today it’s the midfielders turn. Enjoy, and be sure to let me know what you think at the end by commenting. Wenger’s gamble When Mathieu Flamini, [...]

Today is the second in a series of posts reviewing Arsenal’s 2008/09 season. Yesterday I reviewed the performances of our goalkeepers over the course of the season and up for scrutiny today is the Arsenal defence. Unlike yesterday’s post which looked individually at the performances of Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski, this article is more [...]

A ridiculous piece of behaviour by Emmanuel Eboue (sigh) ensured a 0-0 draw was all Arsenal could muster from a hugely disappointing North London derby at White Hart Lane. I should begin by saying that I was really looking forward to yesterday’s game. Really looking forward to it. My new roommate – who goes by the [...]

Hello all. Just a super-duper quick one today because the FA Cup game against Cardiff is not on until Sunday and there’s very little going on. Don’t despair though, I’ll pop on some time tomorrow to do a full match preview. News for today can be summarised as follows (including a one-word response indicating my [...]

It’s all a bit yawny as the Bolton game moves a day closer and the tedious transfer speculation plods along. Apart from another interesting bit of news about the signing of Andrei Arshavin there’s not a lot going on. I said in yesterday’s post that I felt that although Zenit St Petersburg have attached a £20 million [...]
