Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross has today hit back at Arsene Wenger’s claims that Stoke players act like “rugby” players. The 23-year-old defender was left fuming after Wenger’s allegations saying: "He's obviously got something against me. It's just weird “He seems to have a problem with Stoke, our manager and certain players. Criticism doesn't bother […]

For many years now we have been saying it’s a matter of time before Arsenal come good. Well after watching them grind out a result at Blackburn on Saturday maybe we won’t be waiting much longer. The ability that Arsene Wenger’s side possess is in unquestionable. But so often the easy on the eye football […]

The World Cup in 2010 will go down in history for a few things. Vuvuzela's, The first World Cup in Africa, England's abysmal showing, Germany's bright future, Netherlands awful tactics and the Spanish proving they are the best side in the world. Yet one other event for me outshone them all. The French camps implosion […]

Perhaps this is a frivolous post, but with Theo Walcott shockingly omitted from Fabio Capello's World Cup squad, the England national team are left with ZERO players from Arsenal traveling to South Africa. Sure, Arsenal FC will be well-represented in this year's tournament: William Gallas (France), Robin van Persie (Holland), Niklas Bendtner (Denmark), Cesc Fabregas […]

At first glance, this question looks bleedingly obvious. With their massive fan base, a beautiful new 60,000 plus seat stadium, and their years of success and trophies, Arsenal should be quite clearly considered to be a "big club." For the past decade and more, they have been considered part of the so-called Big Four, along […]

So Cesc is off then. So long and thanks for all the skill, the vision and the bushy eyebrows. Is this an Arsenal crisis in the making? Wasn’t Wenger building that team around Fabregas? How can you replace a player as good as that? It takes a lot of money. But Wenger doesn’t like to […]

Playoff Schedule For Premier League Promotion Set Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion have already booked their tickets to the top flight next season but the EPL still has room for one more club. Teams that finished 3-6 will compete in a playoff for that final promotion spot in the Coca-Cola Championship Playoff. The fixtures […]

Incredulous. This is the emotion Arsene Wenger must be feeling after seeing his team go from being two goals up to a Wigan side battling for survival at the bottom of the Premier League, to losing the game three goals to two. I don't believe that Wigan pulled off this comeback because they are the […]

So it looks as though that’s it for another year for Arsenal. Another trophy-less season. Wenger’s admirable faith in his side may have been slightly misplaced after all. They’re not far away from being winners but not close enough. But does it really matter? You’ll read and hear a lot about how many years it’s […]

After nearly two years of shadow boxing, the camps of Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov are about to start to the real battle for control of the Gunners. Arsenal's 4th largest shareholder, Lady Bracewell-Smith is looking to sell her 15.9% share and his retained the U.S. based brokers Blackstones to find a buyer. With both […]

After the Tuesday night defeat in the Champions League at the hands of Lionel Messi and a sublime performance from Barcelona, Arsenal supporters are at a crossroads and have an important decision to make. Do they want beautiful football or do they want to win trophies? It's as simple as that. If they want to […]

The pleasures of playing football are easy enough to understand. It's a great sport and if you're any good you get a shed load of cash, the sexual attentions of fake blonde women, and a mock Tudor house full of 132" plasma TVs. There’s nothing not to like about being a footballer. It's a part-time […]

Arsenal's stunning Champions League win over Porto.

Dear Monsieur Wenger, I wanted to take the time to congratulate you on your team's recent successes in the Premier League and more specifically the UEFA Champions League. You've fought back and are in the heat of a title race and reaching the last eight in any competition is deserved of accolades, but the most prestigious […]

Well when your side is screaming out for a centre half, why not simply go out and sign a centre midfielder who's lost his pace and has struggled with injuries for 3 seasons. Yes, Roberto Mancini seems to think that by signing a creaky Patrick Vieira, it'll help shore up a leaky defence. 5 years […]
