Print This Post 03/06/2008 by Tony Attwood. In a story that has circulated in most journals today, Nic Anelka has admitted that his career has taken a series of downward spirals since he left Arsenal, and that if he had his time again he would stay at Arsenal throughout. Anelka is not the only player…
The people against Game 39 have been clever in the way they have manipulated the story. Game 39 has been presented as something to be seen in isolation – a take it or leave it idea. If we all say “no” loud enough, then it goes away and that’s the end of that. But in…
Over 70,000 people turned up at the Rowdies Superbowl to watch Manchester Reserves play Arsenal Reserves on Saturday. Both teams responded to the popular interest by including a few first team regulars, but most of the big names were missing. The large crowd can be explained in part by the fact that the Manchester club,…
Stan Kronke is coming to Arsenal in order to discuss the much delayed deal with his Colorado team. A year ago it was stated that Colorado Rapids would change its name to Colorado Arsenal, and that there would be a formal link between Arsenal and the Colorado team that plays in the Major League. Gilles Grimandi,…
All EPL clubs have big squads – the trick has been in the past to have a mix of first team regulars, those who can step up, and those who know they will hardly get a game but expect to be there in a year or so. The problem at Arsenal is that M. Wenger…
The secret diary of “Sir” Alex Burgundy, manager supreme of Manchester Cowboys, the Yankee owned “soccer” outfit from the wild north-west frontier. Monday: I’m sure Arsenal get an unfair advantage because of those foreigners they sign, and I demand the FA restrict the number of foreigners allowed. Meanwhile we have to compete so ask Groggsy (who…
On 3 Feb Henry now at Barca and Carlos Vela (on loan at Osasuna) both played – and quite logically it was in the Barca Osasuna game Carlos Vela has already been scoring regularly for Osasuna – a club tipped for relegation, but by no means certain to go down. He’s 18, cool, and looks more than ready to…
It is the most nerve wracking day of the season. A vast array of mindless pointless “international” friendlies in which our players can play and be injured. There’s no benefit, nothing happens – except hamstrings go, knees get knocked and the Spanish practice their racial taunting. In one way we can feel pleased for Clichy…
Fifa are examining Martin Taylor’s awful foul on Eduardo. Eduardo is out for 9 months or more, and could have lost his leg. The Birmingham defender got a simple three-match ban. The world governing body have asked the FA to send them the disciplinary file. Taylor said the tackle was not malicious, and has brought out the usual round of character witnesses…
Just occasionally our good friends at Goonernews (www.Goonernews.com) don’t carry all our stories. There’s nothing sinister in that, its just that some glitch seems to come along and the story never goes up. It’s not really bothered us – except with the predictions – I mean, how can we say, “hey look we got that…
