The way the transfer window in the summer of 2011 at Arsenal was handled, let alone this
January,...

After that emphatic drubbing of Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal face a tricky trip to the Stadium of
Light to face a rejuvenated Sunderland side who are currently eighth in the table, just seven
points behind Arsenal. Sunderland have been in great form since the arrival of new boss Martin
O'Neil and one could assume that the [.
The board of Directors at Arsenal PLC are very happy to announce their £50 million profit today
which added to their cash reserves gives them a mouth-watering £115 million in the bank to play
with, but the Board are at pains to emphasise that this is NOT cash available to Arsene Wenger to
bring in [.
We have turned a corner to a certain extent in terms of defending. With the likes of Vermaelan,
Koscielny, Mertesacker filling the heart of our defence we have added a certain solidarity to our
defending. I'm not saying it's been completely fixed, it hasn't, however, I for one feel like we
can finally hold onto [.
This game was definitely a big one for Arsenal. This would set the tone for a monumental
season-defining week for the Gunners. There was a lot of build up to the game simply because of its
magnitude as well this fixture occurring twice in two weeks. The first half saw good possession by
the Gunners [.
A closer look at the Milan game... However painful it is to do, the Milan game must be scrutinised
in order to understand where it went wrong and, thus, how we can improve in the future. One of the
reasons, cited by many, is that Wenger got his tactics wrong. Many are incredulous about the [...]
It looks like the world depression and the supposedly up-coming Financial Fair Play rules have
conspired to destroy Arsenal's so-called self-sustaining business model. The Gunners youth policy
has led to Arsene Wenger signing up more and more youngsters in the hope that they will one day
fulfil their potential and be sold off at vastly [.
Key battles against Tottenham by KJ The most important game of the season is today. This is always
important to any Arsenal fan especially so where the tides have changed between the two teams.
Arsenal will always be top dog in London but we need to stamp our authority. We've done that
against Chelsea and [.
I can officially confirm that Count Wenger has no reflection! by Adam Kemp Arsene Wenger reminds me
of a ghoulish Count Dracula as his management skills demonstrate that he has no reflection. Count
Wenger is a parasite sucking the blood from brainwashed despondent fans that still refuse to
believe he is a complete waste of [.

Arsene is still the man for the job and I'll tell you why... by Kashmaster These last few weeks
have tested the patience of even the most faithful Arsenal fans. We have suffered our third
successive league defeat at the hands of our most bitter rivals during the Premier League era. Once
again there have [.
Greetings all. It has been quite some time since my last post so, naturally, a number of topics
have arose, which I would like to comment on. However, this could take several thousand words so
I'll try to be selective and condense. There is an obvious topic to start on; and that is,
obviously, the [.
Is Wenger a Tyrant? And How do we Compare to Spurs? by Waleed So we've lost three in a row now.
Pretty awful. I'm a Wenger man through and through but you've got to criticize at this point,
you've got to ask questions. We can all agree the personal abuse is not acceptable, and so [...]
There are rumours that Arsene Wenger is considering giving Robin Van Persie a break this weekend
against Blackburn to try and freshen him up for the three upcoming away games against Sunderland,
AC Milan and (probably) Sunderland again. Van Persie has scored 21 goals in 23 games this season,
but his shooting hasn't been quite [.
Arsenal have now gone four League games without a win, but that run could pale into insignificance
if the Gunners don't start improving very quickly. Arsenal may have an "easy" home game this
weekend against Blackburn, but if the DON'T win it may be hard to forecast where the next win will
come from as [.
Arsene Wenger may not have won a trophy for seven years at Arsenal, but his expertise at making
youngsters excel at the game has not gone unnoticed by the world. Some of the biggest names in
football understand that Wenger is a massive motivator that makes ordinary players punch above
their weight. There have been [.

That 7-1 win was needed, that's for sure. On the back of three losses and a draw, Arsenal had to
get a win now or our hopes for Champions league football would be too far away to catch. This
positivity of the result was also compounded by the draws of the other big clubs. All [...]
Arshavin in recent weeks has become a victim of both the media and all of us Arsenal fans for his
defensive mishap which gifted Manchester United with a undeserved win at the Emirates. I admit I
was thoroughly disappointed with his performance but I still expect him to do something crucial for
us in our [.
Arsenal have definitely missed Kieran Gibbs. He isn't Arsenal's best Left-Back, personally I
believe Santos is, but what a refreshing idea to actually have a LB in the LB position! However
there are still some problems with the guy that needs to be sorted out... Gibbs has a lot of
potential. Wenger wouldn't have him [.
This season has seen the emergence of Wojciech Szczesny as the undisputed no.1 at Arsenal, and for
the first time since the departure of the Invincibe Jens Lehmann, we have a world-class keeper in
our squad. But do we have a decent enough deputy to the young shot-stopper? The answer is quite
simply a big [.
All Arsenal fans have been acutely aware of the fact that our midfield dynamo has been missing for
the whole season so far. Jack Wilshere was overplayed last season, whether due to necessity or
carelessness is still up for debate, and was run into the red zone. He then picked up a stress
facture is [.
The Arshavin conundrum. Andrei Arshavin has caused great debate among fans (Arsenal and football
alike) in recent weeks/months/years. On the one hand, he is technically brilliant and can change a
game, but on the other he is dubbed lazy and incredibly inconsistent. I think that when Arsenal
critics say that he is ‘lazy' or simply [.
Terrible Arsenal humiliated yet again away from home in Europe. by Adam Kemp After yesterdays
pathetic yet familiar performance I can officially confirm that Arsenal are a club in crisis.
Arsenal were outclassed, out-muscled and well beaten by an average AC Milan side. When I saw the
team sheet last night I thought we should [.
I have recently been ridiculed for claiming that ‘Arsenal don't need Eden Hazard'. I stand by
this statement now; the Milan game has done nothing to change my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the
Belgian is an excellent, world-class player who would strengthen any squad in the world, including
Arsenal.
Bonjour Arsenal fans. As predicted, today, the blogosphere is gripped with people foretelling the
fall of Arsenal to mid table, while claiming that sacking Wenger, Kroenke (and many others in the
set-up) is the only way to halt our ‘fall'. I thought that I'd give my own slant on the debate.
At the moment, the [.
Why are Arsenal fans so fickle? by KJ One week, Wenger is a tactical fool when he substitutes The
Ox for Andrei Arshavin against Man Utd. Then he's a tactical genius when he galvanises the Arsenal
troops after being 2-0 down to Villa to come back and win 3-2. He puts on three substitutes against
[...
To my mind, all that the Emirates seems to be is a great big question generating machine. As far as
I can tell we never get any concrete information from the club. Is our whole problem based on a
lack of communication. Arsenal fans are unhappy as we don't know anything about our clubs
direction, [...
We all know that the Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny is a very confident young man, but his latest
utterings are totally off the wall! Regarding the penalty incident when Johann Djourou dragged
Ibrahimovich to the ground leading to Milan's fourth goal against the Gunners. Szczesny thinks that
it was a debatable decision.
This is a Guest Post from Peter at JustArsenalFans.com and is definitely worth further discussion.
Wenger/Kroenke v Usmanov/Mourinho Who would you support? by Peter Okay we have now had more than
enough time to know that Stan Kroenke has no intention at all of changing Arsene Wenger's
management style, and in fact has had [.
Arsenal are not entitled to Trophies by KJ Another troubling defeat for Arsenal sees them knocked
out of the FA cup after a difficult match at the Stadium of Light. These are problematic times for
Arsenal fans. Only recently, we were regarded as one of the best teams in the world and had gone a
[...]
There was an Arsenal blog earlier this morning that implied that Arsenal fans should not expect to
have a god-given right to expect trophies every season, and I saw one of the comments mentioning
that Arsenal were the third-richest club in the world (according to Forbes), so of course with
their value and revenue Arsenal [.
Letter to Stanley being posted to him both to the Arsenal address and Denver address, hope it is of
interest. Mr Stanley Kroenke Kroenke Sports Enterprises Denver Nuggets 100 Chopper Circle Denver CO

way Arsenal Football [.
Should Wenger Go? by SV I said at the beginning of last week that this was the most important week
of our season so far and that, if we cocked it up, we were out of two competitions. Well, we cocked
up and, guess what, we now have only the smallest chance of winning a [...]
Adam Kemp – Tactically inept Arsenals pursuit of silverware ends typically with a gutless
display. Arsenal's humiliating FA Cup defeat to Sunderland depicts all the aspects surrounding
their lack mental resilience, confidence and overall quality. I was quick to criticize Arsenal
after another embarrassing defeat in Milan and still there were Wenger supporters refusing to [.
Van Persie doesn't deserve to leave Arsenal! by KJ We all can see the Flying Dutchman is Arsenal's
best player by a mile, he is practically dragging the rest of the team over the finish line.
However one thing has been annoying me over the last few weeks; it's those uneducated worthless
fans who continually [.
Arsenal fans could cost the team 4th place. by KJ Last week has been one of the hardest as an
Arsenal fan for me personally. Not because we lost but because of the way we did. The team looked
gutless at times and there was no drive or passion. As a result from such performances [...]
I thought that I would use today to analyse a part of our team which, surprisingly, has had some
ambiguity surrounding it in the past season: the defence. I say this is surprising because
Arsenal's defence has, unfortunately, garnered a reputation of being very poor. Recently, however,
the focus has shifted to other areas of [.
In general terms, I consider the midfield to be where Arsenal are chiefly causing the team's...
