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 [...]
It’s all about Kolo Toure today as the internet world goes mental over his supposed move to Manchester City. Reliable source Soccernet has stated that Arsenal and Manchester City have agreed a fee of £14 million for Toure, while The Guardian has taken it a step further by indicating that the Ivorian has left Arsenal’s Austrian [...]

Hello again – I hope you had a lovely weekend. Quite a lot to get through today so bare with me. I’ll kick things off with Johan Djourou who spoke on Friday about the role he hopes to play at Arsenal this season. In his own words he said: “I am ready now, I am [...]
Welcome to another Arsenal FC Blog update and another edition of Guest Post Tuesdays! That’s right, after my admission in yesterday’s post that I had no-one lined up for today’s guest post, my Twitter buddy and fellow countryman White Ox came up with the goods and has delivered a brilliant piece about the impact that [...]
Hello there. Apologies for the lateness of this post. If I had a good excuse I’d give it to you, but the truth is that I was having some drinks with Morgana Clarke. That’s right, the same Morgana Clarke that so badly cursed our team during their 0-0 period of last season. Please forgive me. [...]
Hello again. I hope you’re well this fine Wednesday. The weather is beautiful in Brisbane and I’m looking forward to a couple of relaxing red wines this afternoon to complete what has so far been a very nice day. Yesterday’s post was all about likely signing Thomas Vermaelen and todays is focused on a few [...]
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 [...]
Hello again – good to write to you again on a spectacularly fine and sunny day in Brisbane. There are few things I get more pleasure from than sipping on wine and writing this blog and that’s exactly what I’m up to this afternoon. The big news overnight for Arsenal fans was that of Aston [...]
Hello there. I must warn you that I’m feeling a little bit down today. It’s nothing football-related, just been a long day and I’m glad to see the end of it. Now that I think about it I really should get a beer while I write… * rushes off to get a Beck’s * Ah [...]
A very good day to you and I hope you’re doing well this fine Tuesday. Tuesday’s are usually the worst day of the week but the combination of some lovely weather and a delicious Indian meal at lunch meant that this one was far from the dodgiest I’ve had to live through. It’s all transfer [...]
Hello and welcome to my first (proper) post of 2009. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are geared up for the challenges that lie ahead this year. As I write to you today I’m sitting on my new work chair at my new work desk that I got from Ikea, working [...]
Just a quick Friday post to say that I am still alive and so is the blog. For various reasons – Christmas, no computer, holidays, the general need for a break – I’ve been unable to comment on the various goings on at Arsenal at the moment. However, the purchase of a new MacBook as [...]
I awoke today to read some of the most bizarre quotes uttered by an Arsenal player I have ever heard. Kolo Toure, speaking after the loss on Saturday, has admitted that he was ‘scared’ to play against Hull. In his own words: “I was scared to play the game. Sometimes people, not the players, play [...]
Hello again and a very happy Tuesday to you all. I’ll start today by thanking everyone who commented on yesterday’s post focusing on the 1-0 weekend win over West Brom. There were some really interesting opinions on a number of players and I had a great time discussing the game with a whole heap of readers. [...]
