In the memory of my cousin, brother, father and husband!

Not too sure how to start this one, I know this is an Arsenal blog and I haven’t done the blogging thing for a long long time. I suppose life is too busy we all have too many duties during our days to keep personal stuff afloat and we are truly committed to our cause. Never mind the football this one is not about football anymore as far as I’m concerned this one is about my cousin who tragically lost his life once he stepped off the plane on 8th of August and came back to his so called... 

Is Arsenal A Legitimate League Favourite?

We’ve all enjoyed riding the recent hot streak for Arsenal, and there’s truly been some great football of late. For fans of the Gunners, it’s been something of a pleasant surprise. Following the club’s frustrating inactivity during the summer, when many thought transactions needed to be made, Arsenal has jetted to the top of the Premier League standings, and has of course made a major acquisition along the way in Mesut Ozil. But is it time to start looking at Arsenal as the... 

Bendtner will stay

Nicklas Bendtner will stay and play for Arsenal next season on the one hand due to the fact that the Gooners failed to find another striker. One the other hand due to the fact that the Dane has huge wage demands and therefore did not manage a transfer away. “The chance for him to leave now is very small,” Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said. “If he comes back well and gets fit, I will use him.” In fact Bendtner currently earns £52 000 a week. None of the clubs that were interested in his services... 

Mesut Özil has joined Arsenal on a 5 year deal!

Yes it’s a done deal fellow Gooners, Mesut Özil has joined Arsenal on a 5 year deal! It is understood the deal cost around 42.4 million pounds. Arsene Wenger was delighted to say: “We are extremely pleased to have signed Mesut Ozil. He is a great player, with proven quality at both club and international level. We have watched and admired him for some time as he has all the attributes I look for in an Arsenal player. “I have said throughout the summer that we have been working hard to... 

John Cross: Arsenal need new direction and a new director!

We all saw the game last night including my disappointing comments on another blog, I think I have for once lost the plot but was I the only one? I don’t want to talk about the game or the previous one for that matter it was let’s honestly say total shambles! It pains me to say we are not good enough any more for the so called 4th spot trophy if you ever believed it was just that. Yesterday’s performance proved this to me as I have believed the team can lift themselves as they... 

An evening at the Madejski Stadium – Capital One Cup

Having arrived at the desired location around 5:05pm before the game with my son I have already spotted Steve T with his kids in Arsenal gear making their way towards the Holiday Inn where Holic and the others have agreed to meet. I thought one thing, it was a real shame I couldn’t sit this one out with Arsenal fans but hey I never imagined what was about to happen and show us exactly why we really love this game and Arsenal for that matter and most of all why you should NEVER under no circumstances...
