I know there are probably quite a few Arsenal fans who will be relieved to hear that Aaron Ramsey has picked up a groin strain, and will therefore miss the trip to Germany to face Schalke in the Champions League tomorrow. One person who will not be happy, however, is Arsene Wenger. With Oxlade-Chamberlain and Diaby still keeping Rosicky company in the treatment room, Arsenal do not need to lose

Posted on November 05, 2012 by admin Arsene Wenger had to face the frustration of seeing Jack Wilshere sent off against Manchester United on Saturday, even though he knew that the youngster was on a final warning from Mike Dean.As expected Wilshere lunged in for another tackle on Patrice Evra in the 69th minute and was duly sent off, and Wenger admitted that he wanted to take Wilshere off before

Posted on November 05, 2012 by admin There are many Arsenal rumours this morning (notably in the Telegraph) saying that Kieran Gibbs has returned to full training and is nearly ready to join the first-team, despite not even making the bench for Saturday’s visit to Old Trafford.The youngster last played for Arsenal in the away win against West Ham, and Gooners will not be surprised that Arsenal

Posted on November 05, 2012 by admin Arsenal’s defeat at Old Trafford has left them nine points behind the new League leaders, and Arsene Wenger admits that they now have a mountain to climb if they are to compete with Man United, Chelsea and Man City in the race for the Premiership title.He couldn’t give any excuse for Arsenal’s poor showing on Saturday and simply said that they came up against

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob Arsene Wenger has never been a massive fan of the January transfer window, but the increasingly desperate situation at Arsenal, combined with over £35 million burning a hole in his pocket means that he will probably splash out in the new year, and one of those looks like it will be Yoann Gourcuff.Arsenal have been linked with the French international midfielder

Posted on September 01, 2012 by admin There will not be many Arsenal fans that will be happy that a certain Sebastien Squillaci is still in training with the club after the transfer window deadline has come and gone. Arsenal failed to find buyers for Nicklas Bendtner or Chu-Young Park, but at least they have been sent out on loan to Juventus and Celta Vigo respectively.You could say that Carlos

Posted on November 05, 2012 by admin The Man United defender Rio Ferdinand has told the press that his team were terribly disappointed that they didn’t beat Arsenal by a very wide margin on Saturday after being totally in control of the game from start to finish.He said: “We should have finished that game off ages ago. That’s the most disappointing thing, If you had been in our changing room

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob Can things get any worse for Arsenal? I suppose Mertesacker could bang his head getting off the plane, or Cazorla could fall down an open manhole. Arsene Wenger will be sweating on the state of Theo Walcott tonight, and hoping that he can play at least some part in tomorrow’s crucial Champions League game against Schalke.“He has been sick overnight and in

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob Tony Adams spent his whole football career at Arsenal, and never4 dreamed of not signing a contract with the club, but he knows times have changed and fears that the Gunners have messed up by leaving it so long to persuade Theo Walcott to extend his deal.Adams feels that the poor form that Arsenal are in this season will only make it less likely that Walcott

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob Andre Santos seems intent on driving the Arsenal fans up the wall. If his defensive lapses were not bad enough, he seemed overjoyed at half time on Saturday. Arsenal had just put in a terrible 45 minutes, but the Brazilian left back seemed happy and relaxed as he chatted with van Persie and strolled down the tunnel with the Dutchman’s shirt over his

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob Arsene Wenger has praised the Arsenal fans for their unflinching support recently, but knows that he owes them some better results. We nger and his vice-captain Mikel Arteta aim to start repaying the Gooners tomorrow against Schalke. Arteta is demanding an improvement from the Arsenal team, knowing that the Champions league game in Germany will not be easy, but

Posted on November 05, 2012 by admin Arsene Wenger has already admitted that he knew that Jack Wilshere was on a last warning from Mike Dean on Saturday before he got sent off, but also angrily blamed Patrice Evra for diving to make the tackle look worse.Wenger said: “The red card was very harsh,”“I find the referees very naive because when you say to the players, ‘Look for the next foul and

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob Arsene Wenger has taken some of the blame for the red card shown to Jack Wilshere as Arsenal lost to Manchester United on Saturday. Reports pointed to the fact that Alex Ferguson substituted Tom Cleverley who was in a similar position to Wilshere, basically one foul away from being sent off.Wenger has said that Evra made a meal of the tackle, and the reason why

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Bob Just over a year after buying Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton, senior figures at Arsenal are ready to give the 19-year old England international a new and improved contract as a reward for his fantastic, form and improvement since coming to the Emirates. The Ox works as hard as his namesake and has got a brilliant attitude.Due to the exceptional players

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin Scotland face Wales in a crucial World Cup Qualifier in Cardiff on Friday. After just two matches played Wales are still pointless, while Scotland only have 2 points on the board, so both sides desperately need a win to put them into contention to reach Brazil in 2014.The last time these two met in Cardiff Wales ran out easy 3-0 winners, and the Scotland

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Bob Arsenal have released their accounts which are looking pretty good, showing that Arsene Wenger should have a decent war chest to spend in January. Another interesting thing apparent from the figures is the news that the club have given up any hope of ever selling the South Korean international striker, Park Chu-Young.Park signed for Arsenal last summer just

Posted on October 09, 2012 by Bob Behind the scenes at Arsenal must be a place where a less than firm handshake could spell disaster. If Theo Walcott thought that he was involved in the sort of bargaining where you name a price double what you want and walk away offended when you know all along that you will accept much less. then he is in for a shock.After Peter Hill-Wood went public today

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin The Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna is really happy to be back after five months out with his second broken leg, and thinks he has achieved his aim of coming back even stronger than before his injury.Sagna said: “It is amazing to be back, I have been waiting for this moment for five months,” Sagna told Arsenal Player. “This was my target: to come back and play

Posted on October 09, 2012 by Bob When Arsenal return to the bread and butter work of the Premier league in 11 days time, the team could have a new look to it after Jack Wilshere, Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Frimpong completed decent shifts with no complications last night for the under-21 team.Wilshere played for about an hour against West Brom last week and was understandably cautious.

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin Arsenal have been negotiating a new contract with Theo Walcott for over a year and it looks like there is still no solution in sight. Walcott made a statement recently saying that the delay had nothing to do with money and he just wanted Arsene Wenger to give him a place as an out-and-out striker in the Arsenal team.But now the Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood

Posted on October 09, 2012 by Bob What would Arsenal have done without Santi Cazorla? The defence have been a lot better, including the role of Mikel Arteta, and the two new strikers are settling in well. All of the midfielders have played well but without Cazorla I think we would have struggled.The Spaniard’s efforts have been rewarded with the EA Player of the Month award, making it two in a

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Bob Santi Cazorla has been outstanding for Arsenal since moving from La Liga side Malaga in the summer. His name was unfamiliar to many people in this country and their is a common assumption that he is struggling to get a place in the Spanish national side. Cazorla may get a rare start this week as Spain travel to Belarus for the first of two World Cup qualifiers,

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Bob After playing their first competitive football for Arsenal in 14 and 6 months respectively, Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna needed an international break like Steve Bould needs a hairdryer. The next scheduled under 21 match is not until the night of Monday 22nd October which would mean a two week break for the players.Emmanuel Frimpong is also on the verge of

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin Wenger has the money, who do you think he should buy? After yesterday’s AST meeting, it was confirmed that Wenger has something along the lines of £40 million at his disposal come January. This was pretty much common news previously but I thought it would make an interesting article to postulate who Wenger could actually get for that money and for what

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin The Arsenal starlet Chuks Aneke was sent off for a months loan at Crewe Alexander but it all went wrong after just 73 minutes of his debut against Stevenage when Aneke made a mad two-footed challenge on Stevenage’s Anthony Grant which resulted in straight red card and an automatic three-match ban.This meant that he could only play in one more game during his
