A Van Persie-Giroud partnership? And Podolski?

By Phil Gregory

Arsenal.com published an interesting article on our new signing Olivier Giroud. The part that caught my eye was the debate around whether Giroud will be a starter with Robin or not (leaving aside all contract chat for now).

In it, Philippe Auclair said “I can imagine a 4-4-1-1 with Robin van Persie […]

The Ox will make it, even though a cow might break its leg.

Hands up if you thought we would be fourth at year’s end

By Tony Attwood

I will make this quick. As I have mentioned in passing before, I live in the Midlands, and have a season ticket in the North Bank, so going to Arsenal is something of a day trip for me.

I am just back, and need to change for the evening’s celebrations with the […]

By Walter Broeckx

Arsenal brought in some new players in August. The word was out very soon by those who pretend to know a bit about football: all we had bought was utterly rubbish. So we continue to look at how bad they are.

Let us look at the new left back, now sadly injured, […]

Misplaced Misery

by Don McMahon

Just how profound and deeply ingrained is the pessimism, negativism and miserable affiliation to the dark side of the Arsenal( and total disregard for the facts) some gunners seem to thrive on? After recent excellent displays and cohesive team efforts, the net was brimming over with praise for RVP and […]

Arsenal Liverpool. The story for the defence

by Arvind

I somehow missed the time of the game and tuned into it 15 minutes late only to see Koscielny hobble off with a terrible looking injury. Hope its good news.

We lost the game though with a desperately unlucky goal, I thought. Not counting the second goal as that was always coming 1-0 […]
