Should Wilshere play this summer?
March 31, 2011 by Pete South - Filed under Arsenal FC, England, Premier League

Upon reading the headline of this article, the response can likely be summed up with one word. No. Jack Wilshere is being lined up to play for England’s under-21 side this summer in the European Championship, with England boss Fabio Capello and his U-21 counterpart Stuart Pearce eager to take full advantage of his talents and Premier League experience at the tournament in Denmark . Most will take the position that Wilshere is in danger of burning out in his breakthrough season, and would be better...
Dig deep, bring home those precious three points!
March 19, 2011 by ArthurTheGooner - Filed under Premier League

There is not a lot you can add to the title of this post, it’s an absolute must for us to bring home maximum points later on this afternoon. Last three weeks have not been great for us, infact we only managed a draw at home against Sunderland which to me was certainly opportunity missed to get even closer to the Mancs. No point to dwell on those disappointments now, I suppose, time to move on we can still challenge for the Premier League tittle so let’s give it our best shot. Injuries...
Arsenal Is In A Defensive Crisis
March 17, 2011 by Guest Blog - Filed under Arsenal FC, Premier League

Arsenal has been battling injuries all season long, but the Gunners having been doing well without one of their top two central defenders. But now they’ve lost their rock at the back for the rest of the season, and that could signal Arsenal’s downfall if you’re gambling online. Thomas Vermaelen has been out since August because of an ailing Achilles, and the Belgian defender says he has no idea when he’ll be able to play again. That left Johan Djourou as Arsenal’s best central defender,...
Why I think Arsenal will win the league!
March 16, 2011 by Thomas - Filed under Premier League

In Gooner terms, to describe the last month as very very bad, would be a desperate understatement. Defeat to Birmingham, Barca and United saw us crash out of three major trophies, not to mention a disappointing draw at home to Sunderland in the league. On top of all this we have taken injury blows to Djourou, Szezny, Walcott, Song and of course our captain, Cesc. Calls in to 5 live have been requesting Arsene to leave as if we have finished in the bottom half of the table, from the outset it seems...
Why Arsenal can take heart from Barca defeat
March 10, 2011 by Pete South - Filed under Arsenal FC, Champions League

Barcelona are the best team in the world. We know this because we are told often enough by those in the know. Some go one further. For me, they are the best team ever Graeme Souness cooed in the post-match fall-out following Arsenals 3-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona on Tuesday. Before anything else, something needs to be addressed. Barcelona deserve their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and out-played Arsenal during the second leg. The first game was one of contrast the...
Adibal should of been sent off, NOT Van Persie!
March 9, 2011 by ArthurTheGooner - Filed under Champions League

We haven’t played well enough perhaps to win the game, however I believe justice has not been done last night and FIFA & UEFA should be ashamed of themselves. They make it look as if this game can not function without fairness and honesty. Barthelona players dived left right and center, tackled and got away with it. Our players on the other hand got booked one by one, I may regret saying this but somehow I believe football is corrupted from the top including almighty Barthelona! Now you...
