I’m sure that I’m not alone in wishing that this had been sorted out before now. As it stands, we still don’t know where Robin van Persie will be playing after September 1. And while this situation is far from ideal, I wonder if as fans we’re blowing the whole thing out of proportion, because [...]

Arsenal’s 2012-2013 pre-season has been somewhat overshadowed by the Van Persie saga which seems like it’ll rumble on into the new campaign. The flipside of this is that Arsenal’s new big name acquisitions have quietly slid into place setting Arsenal up for a genuine title challenge. Perhaps the Arsenal board were prompted into action by [...]

Well we had some movement on the biggest story of the summer but contained in that movement wasn’t much we didn’t already know. United, City and Juve all bid for van Persie and Wenger said thanks but no thanks, we’d kinda like to keep in the ungrateful ingrate, then the squad hopped on a plane [...]

It’s a fact of life that some people have more money than others. But just because your neighbour has bought a Gallardo doesn’t mean that you can roll up to the Lamborghini forecourt and drive away with a shiny new set of wheels. Everyone has to live within their means and no one, not even [...]

Stoke. Do you remember a time when we didn’t even care that they existed? It seems like so long ago. That we know we will go there today and a young player will be actively booed for having his leg snapped in two makes me want to smash things. The whole city of Stoke preferably. [...]

By the time kick off arrived yesterday I was rather excited, I’d seen their line-up, noted ours and thought that we were in for a display akin to what we saw against Man City. Unfortunately it seemed as if the handbrake was on and no amount of shifting it would get it off. I know [...]

It’s a horrible feeling watching a team you hate march towards the title, and it’s even worse when you know the only other team capable of catching them is a team you’ve grown to hate even more. As United dispatched Blackburn last night I was forced to repeat what I’ve been saying for most of [...]

After Whingy McLeish’s attempts to deflect away from his team’s defeat after leading 2-0 away at Arsenal in the FA Cup, the FA have today confirmed that the referee saw the elbow incident involving Arsenal captain Robin van Persie and Carlos Cuellar and they will therefore not be taking any further action. It is thought [...]

Tonight the Champions League group stages return and Arsenal get to take on the fourth seeded team in their group in what should be a walk in the park? What? What you mean we didn’t get FC Battenburger from some country no-one has heard of? Oh no, in all their wisdom, UEFA decided that making [...]

It’s always a colourful affair when Sky commentate on a game involving the World’s Most Hated Team and even more so when our opponent is a “minnow.” I say this with no disrespect to Norwich – of the teams in the Premier League, they are one of the few who I genuinely like, and frankly, [...]

Finals are a beautiful thing. I can say this now we’ve reached one for the first time since, what is it, one hundred years? What’s that you say? We last reached a final in 2007? Oh, ok then, Arsenal, being Arsenal, made sure that we were all nice and nervous by the time they finally [...]
