AFCB’s new tactics guru Andrew Enloe gets the chalkboards out for the very first edition of ‘The Short Corner’… In the world of Arsenal blogging, it seems the tactical side gets put on the back burner with most articles focused on team spirit and Arsene Wenger’s much-vaunted “mental strength.” This has its place of course, [...]
Arsenal cruised to a 4-0 win in their first pre-season game against Barnet yesterday afternoon. Here’s a photo compilation – featuring new signing Laurent Koscielny, new hairdos for Tomas Rosicky and Samir Nasri and a cheeky kiss for Wojciech Szczesny - of what was a very fun start to the pre-season. Enjoy. Thoughts? Have your say [...]
Tomas Rosicky has signed a contract extension with Arsenal – but I feel it’s a piece of news that might polarise opinion amongst Arsenal fans. On one hand you have the club showing loyalty to a player who has worked his socks off to return from a career-threatening injury and appears to be a good [...]
Hello again fellow Arsenal FC Blog buddies – hope you’re feeling good this fine Thursday. It’s a long post today so I’ll get straight on with it with an update on Samir Nasri’s broken leg. In yesterday’s post I reported that he was likely to be out for between 2-3 months however the news today [...]
I know it’s not related to Arsenal, but as far as weeks go I have to say that this one has been a bit of a shocker for me. Here are just a few of the reasons why: There is a rat that has been eating holes in the wall of our house and continually [...]
A very warm Monday greeting to you all. No new transfer speculation to discuss today, which gives me the opportunity to say a few words about Tomas Rosicky. The Czech man has spoken of his current fitness situation and the chances of making a successful recovery for next season. Rosicky has admitted that although he [...]
With the International Break in full swing and very little going, I thought I’d take some time out today to talk about one Tomas Rosicky. That’s right, Tomas Rosicky. Those of you who only started watching Arsenal in the last year probably won’t know who I’m even talking about, while the rest of us will [...]
Hello, hello. How are we today? It’s an action-packed Tuesday post so sit tight and enjoy. I’ll start with Arsene Wenger, who has been talking about our recent form and the struggles that our nearest challengers have had lately. Commenting on the lucky escapes by Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa over the weekend and [...]
Gather round children. I’m not even going to apologise for the lack of posts of late because it’s been happening all too often. What I will say though is that I f$%#*g hate my computer at the moment and I’m doing something to rectify that. Hopefully I will have a new one by next week [...]
Hello again. As you’ve probably already gathered I’m back from my international break break. This is the first time I’ve posted since Tuesday last week and I’ve certainly enjoyed the time off. You may have noticed I’ve sent out a few test posts over the past week – once again I apologise for that – [...]
If someone had told me that Mikaël Silvestre would become an Arsenal this season I think I probably would have kicked them in the shins for wasting my time. But it seems there is a genuine chance that this might just be the case after it was reported that Arsene Wenger is interested in bringing the [...]
Hello again. For those that care, the movie I told you I was seeing last night - Mutum - turned out to be pretty damn good. If you’re a lover of international film then I highly recommend it. I’m sure Brazilian readers of the blog (if I have any!) will know what I mean. Anyway, enough said about that – [...]
There is a lot of Arsenal news for me to catch up on since last Thursday so bear with me while I get through it all. First up is the 10-2 demolition of Burgenland XI – the side with the strangest and funniest name since Grasshopper-Club from Zürich. Nicklas Bendtner scored four (yes, four), Carlos [...]
Hello there again. Today is of course Monday and that means my first post for week. It’s been a massive weekend too so sit tight for a moment to digest everything that has been going on in the world of Arsenal. Saturday night saw Arsenal start their pre-season campaign with a 2-1 win over Barnet. The boys [...]
