  • Stupid sexy Flanders

    20 May 2012, 6:55 am
    So, do anything last night then? Me and Mrs Blogs just had a quiet pint or two in the local, discussed the upcoming referendum in this country and the implications of same, then came home and had a toasted cheese sandwich. And apart from that nothing else happened. Nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing [...]...

  • I say the sooth, so I do

    19 May 2012, 8:24 am
    I do not know. We do not know. Words which you rarely hear during a summer transfer saga because somebody always claims to know. Even if they don’t know, they know. The not knowing provides them with knowledge based simply on the fact that they don’t know. Ignorance is information. So this morning you’ll have [...]...

  • Jack needs a cripplectomy + Arsecast 242

    18 May 2012, 7:20 am
    Morning all, another week comes to an end as we push further forward into the “summer” and there are a few bits and pieces going on this morning. Firstly, Jack Wilshere is off to Sweden to have a ‘minor procedure’ on his knee which the club say shouldn’t significantly delay his comeback next season. Of [...]...

  • Can’t pull the wool down

    17 May 2012, 6:44 pm
    So the season is over and another summer is upon us. It’s been here for four days and already I’m bored of it. As Mick Jagger once drawled, “the sunshine bores the daylights out of me.” (Not that that presents a problem in London, but stick with the metaphor). Already I find myself looking ahead [...]...

  • Squad assessment – Part 2

    17 May 2012, 7:34 am
    So, yesterday I looked at the keepers and defence and sent them home to get their report cards signed by their parents otherwise they’d get 100 lines (I must not do that thing I do which makes us concede goals”). Today it’s time to look at the middle and top end of the pitch and [...]...

  • West Brom v Arsenal: Will we do it?

    13 May 2012, 7:34 am
    So the final weekend arrives and we’re no nearer to knowing whether we will be playing Champions League football next season. We all know the equation by now: a win means third and automatic qualification. Anything less and we are at the mercy of Spurs and Newcastle. Finish fourth and we rely on Bayern Munich [...]...

  • Arsenal’s chances of beating West Brom

    12 May 2012, 4:57 pm
    Arsenal travel to the Hawthorns for the final game of the season and are 1.67 shots to beat West Brom and give Arsene Wenger a win on what is his 600th Premier League game in charge. The Gunners need three points to secure third position and come into the match having gone four games without [...]...

    5 May 2012, 2:04 pm
    Our last home game of the season ended 3-3 and now our Champions League qualifications hopes have become precarious. I’ve set up this thread for everyone to discuss the game. Leave a comment below to let us know what you think....

  • Arsenal v Norwich Betting Preview

    4 May 2012, 4:26 pm
    Arsenal are a top priced 1.25 to take care of Norwich and take another step towards securing third place. In truth, both sides come into this in poor form having failed to win any of their last three games, but the Gunners are by far the better side and should have little difficulty getting back [...]...

  • To Stoke and back

    30 April 2012, 12:26 am
    Stoke away has become a strange spot on our fixture list. Since Shawcross broke Ramsey’s leg two years ago this game has boiled down into a weird little bubble, existing within itself, fuelled by hatred and anger. Yesterday it looked like that atmosphere is not receding at all. Wenger was relentlessly taunted by them, Shawcross [...]...

  • Red Detective’s view: M’Vila, Biglia, Podolski, Ryo

    19 May 2012, 10:59 am
    People say Arsenal have leaders now. Above and beyond the sharp edge he gives to the attack, Robin van Persie has been a juggernaut of superhuman effort and deadly precision at crucial junctures of the season. However, there are times when Arsenal do not have their own way and whilst I have seen the team talking [...]...

Here are just 5 reasons why Gooners’ around the globe have reasons to be excited ahead of the 2012/13 season. 1.

    When Marouane Chamakh arrived at Arsenal on a free transfer in the summer of 2010 there were high hopes for his Arsenal career. However, since his apparently explosive start to the 2010/11 season the goals have dried up, and his performances have dropped to the point where he has not scored a goal in six [...]...

    A month and a half ago Arsenal were playing for two cup competitions, whilst languishing ten points behind Tottenham in the league, with what looked like a slim chance of finishing within the Champions League qualifying places. Today, through an astonishing run of form, the club sit just a point behind Tottenham in the league [...]...

    After the humiliation of losing 4-0 to AC Milan on Wednesday night, Arsenal have had to say Au Revoir to a club legend, as Thierry Henry returns to the United States to rejoin the New York Red Bulls. Although the veteran forward didn’t recreate the heroics of yester-year this time round, winning goals against Leeds [...]...

    Arsenal are recovering their form after a January blip which saw them drop nine points in the race for fourth place. A 7-1 win over Blackburn, and more recently a 2-1 win over Sunderland means that the club are maintaining their position at the fringes of the European places, in a race which may well [...]...

Of course, the second round is a great equaller, if the first is something of an easy ride (exceptions include [...]...

One thing we must refrain from doing is start from where it all began, and then one-by-one curse every single player in our coffer, rip the very belief in le [...]...

  • Keep The Faith As Arsenal Look Ahead To The Next Season


    It’s been a long time since I blogged. Lots of travel (both personal and work-related), plus a change in job (which included a hell lot of transition) and most of all, Arsenal’s poor form, kept me away from 11G, something I feel very apologetic about. I sometimes doubted my allegiance towards the lads, as the [...]...

  • A dark day for football

    19 May 2012, 10:20 pm
    Money can certainly buy trophies, but can it buy you class, respect and dignity?  Not judging from Chelsea's performance tonight.  Another extremely lucky result from a side that played some of the most dire and defensive football possible, and it must be remembered that Roman Abrahmovich has had to manipulate billions to finance this pathetic little racket. Roman Abrahmovich sums Chelsea...

  • RVP, our scum support and eleven Yossis

    18 May 2012, 6:35 pm
    I have been away and unable to blog for the last week, and I must say that I enjoyed my holiday considerably more after we had managed to secure 3rd spot by squeezing past West Brom by the narrowest of margins.  It wasn't brilliant any means, but the bottom line is it was enough and qualifying automatically for the Champions League means that we can now hopefully set about properly strengthening...

  • One thing on my mind

    11 May 2012, 10:11 am
    I do not care for transfer gossip, I prefer to concentrate on the here and now, and that is why 3 points this weekend is absolutely massive in many ways for the club. The game needs no hype, holding on to third spot is essential for the club to build a challenge for next season.  We need to show our true colours, we need a committed, a solid defensive and a disciplined performance this...

  • The simple analysis - repeated naive errors

    6 May 2012, 10:06 am
    I do not want to get carried away with the doom and negativity.  Our recent dropped points must be seen in context of some excellent results earlier in the year, while the deep problems in our squad are not something that can be quickly remedied overnight, failing players on big long term contracts cannot be moved on easily overnight.  I have summed up our failings, demonstrated particularly...

  • Complacent and arrogant? Again and again

    5 May 2012, 6:16 pm
    I have lost count of the number of times that we have come unstuck against the weaker sides this season, it is staggeringly frustrating.  We have beaten all the top sides other than ManU but we keep making the same mistake, that mistake being that we assumed that all we need to do against the smaller sides is turn up and we will win, how many f*cking times do we have to make this mistake?...
