Two big pieces of news to discuss today. The first is that we will be joined in the Champions League next season by Tottenham. Earlier today I posted an article with five reasons why I am happy it is Spurs, not Manchester City, in Europe next season. However, the result does have an immediate negative [...]

Tottenham Hotspur qualified for the Champions League last night thanks to a 1-0 victory over Manchester City. Here’s five reasons why I am happy it is them rather than their opponents that will get the prize of fourth place and a spot in Europe. 1. The City juggernaught gets held off for another season In [...]

A couple of interesting links for you on a Wednesday morning. The Guardian seems confident in their knowledge that Arsene Wenger will be making a bid for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart when the transfer window. Meanwhile, ESPN Soccernet speculates on Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon’s comments that “If I had to leave, I think England [...]

Apart from it winning the hypothetical, unofficial award for most boring Arsenal game of the season there isn’t much to say about yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester City. Both defences ruled and it made for an dour affair, in complete contrast to the hyperactive attacking duel that I had expected pre-game. A lot of that [...]

Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0 Lukasz Fabianski – Has been in the firing line for the past week but was under no such pressure during the match. Had very little to do throughout the whole encounter apart from the odd high ball or tame cross. 6 Bacary Sagna – Defensively solid. He kept Craig Bellamy [...]

It’s Manchester City tomorrow and what an interesting game it looks to be. City are chasing fourth in the league, we have work to do to ensure we finish third in the league while Emmanuel Adebayor returns to The Emirates for the first time since his move to Manchester. Long-time readers of the blog will [...]

Just a quick one to let you know I’m a little bit sick at the moment, which is stopping me from concentrating properly and therefore writing anything useful. I am hoping to have a preview of the Manchester City game up before Saturday but in the meantime if you’re bored then check out Arseblog for [...]

Emmanuel Adebayor just can’t leave Arsenal alone, can he? The latest in a long line of interviews where he attempts to portray himself as some sort of angel, hard-done by Arsenal and Arsene Wenger is quite frankly, laughable. And while I really shouldn’t take the bait I’m going to by carving up his latest comments [...]

I’ll have a match preview of the Arsenal vs Bolton game later today, but I just thought I’d quickly bring your attention to something that might have flown under the radar. The Carling Cup semi-final first leg between Manchester United and Manchester City has been postponed due to bad weather – and it’s good news [...]

Arsenal returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 2-0 win over Stoke although I did my best Arsene Wenger impression by not seeing the game. A late Friday night live-blogging the World Cup draw was followed by a fairly hectic house party at a friend’s on Saturday and meant that I was too [...]

Arsene Wenger’s attitude problem OK, let’s get the Wenger stuff out the way first. There was no excuse for him not to shake hands with Mark Hughes after last night’s 3-0 loss. Just as there was no excuse for his ridiculous comments about Didier Drogba after the Chelsea game. It’s smacks of being a sore [...]

I’ll get onto the Manchester City game in the moment – but before then I have some transfer news to go through. That’s right: transfer news. In December! Whatever will be next? The big news is Arsene Wenger’s rather massive proclamation that he will be actively looking for a striker to replace Robin van Persie [...]

No, I’m not talking about the goals he scored last weekend. Nor am I talking about any of the eight goals he’s scored for us in all competitions this season. I’m talking about these comments he made after getting word that the Arsenal boys are set to face Manchester City in the next round of [...]

Thanks again to Chris Toy from Studs Up for another great comic. It sums his attitude up pretty well, don’t you think? Have your say on Emmanuel Adebayor by leaving a comment.

OK, I’m back again for my first “proper” post in almost a fortnight after a rather delightful holiday in Malaysia. I’m quite relaxed and refreshed and ready to get back into the blog and back into the Arsenal. But where to begin? I thought I’d run through the latest Arsenal news by looking at it [...]

After Emmanuel Adebayor’s “performance” against Arsenal I thought it necessary to take some serious action. You can see the video and photos below or via this LINK. Cheers to my housemates Annie and Michael for helping me out on this one… ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** Huzzah! I’ll have another post for you a little [...]

It’s official – Emmanuel Adebayor is a Manchester City player. And while the transfer fee is likely to remain undisclosed the amount is thought to be around £25 million. He’s given his first interview as a Manchester City player and you can watch it below (LINK): If I’m being completely honest the overwhelming feeling I am [...]
