Holy Zombie Jesus, did a lot go down since the last time the Premier League kicked off a fortnight ago. First and foremost, my assumed title chase between Chelsea and Arsenal got thrown a wicked Barry Zito circa-2002 curveball. (Ok, for Brits, a wicked Googly.) Chelsea is going to have to play at least a couple matches -- and almost certainly the Nov. Click to continue reading...

It's time for those Gooners to give again Arsenal's highly commendable 'Be a Gooner. Be a Giver' campaign is about to kick-in. Just like last season, Arsenal's squad will donate a day's wages to their charity, which is the Great Ormond Street Hospital this year. But to drum up extra support the club sent Cesc Fabregas, Bacary [. Click to continue reading...

31.10.2009 The Arsenal Brunei Supporters Club held yet another gathering at the MyNest Cafe' in Kg.Serusop. It was the "North London Derby", Arsenal entertain Tottenham Hotspurs at the Emirates. The Gunners won the game by 3 goals to nil. 2 goals from Van Persie & a quick extender by Fabregas saw Spurs "shutdown" early. Click to continue reading...

When Robin Van Persie scored Arsenal's third in the North London derby against Spurs, it prompted me to draw comparisons with the Real Madrid legend Raul. He has scored seven goals in the league and been given the role of the top of the Gunners attack. He has previously been compared to Dennis Bergkamp who was a genius at linking up attacks with the rest of his teammates.

Bendtner to repeat this act?

As an Arsenal fan, today is the day we wait with abated breath. This is the first fixture I look for whenever the new season kicks-off. For Gooners, it comes no bigger than the North London Derby. Spurs visit Ashburton Grove looking to find the first league victory over Wenger.

'i told you id show you gaffer'..... (silence)(siren)

So it comes to air today that our potential complete striker, (in an attack full of specialists), is suffering from a crisis of confidence due to Harry's insistence on only giving him fringe chances in the squad. Whilst this is a disgustingly obvious piece of media work from Oleg Artemov who as an agent can only assumed to be looking for another healthy 10% to put the final down payment on his gold plated Lexus.

Sorry Vishwa. You're the man but still worth a try.

Some say he thinks Alex Ferguson is a swear word. Some say he has a bicycle kick that not even Iker Casillas would have dared to stop. All we know is, he's called THE AQUAMAN.

I don't know about you but I'm still smarting from the two points dropped at Upton Park last Sunday. Having watched a recording of the game (I was at Wembley watching the NFL game) I'm even more depressed. We were so in control in the first half but we simply don't seem to have the killer instinct.

что же, спрашивается, Вы говорите о Вас сумасшедший человек?

I don't understand a word of it either. What I do know is that whilst 'The Emperor' looked sharp tonight in a hold-up role. However he had plenty of chances to place his name on the scoresheet that went wanting.

Shall we just give up now? Fuck the title race, fuck the cups and fuck Arsenal. Lets just give up because we drew with fucking West Ham. Excuse the fucking French.
I had a look round some of the Arsenal sites today and I wished I hadn't of bothered. It depressed me. Some of the comments I've seen made me shake my head with despair. Click to continue reading...

Hello Gooners. West Ham 2 Arsenal 2 it finished. Excuse the rage I'm feeling right now but I'll try not to be downright acidic in my assessment in London Derby Number 2 against the Hammers.

Complacency,� CarltonCole and Choking. 3 C's I said we needed� to be wary of against the Hammers.

The third C-word to consider is choking. Can you have both 'choking' and 'complacency' in one game. I believe you can. Hello, Gooners wherever in the world you are reading this. As promised this is my second preview-ish post to the game against West Ham. Why two posts BEFORE a game? Special games need special focus.

London Derby number two is up next when we play West Ham and as usual the media are building it up in their own typical manner.

Couple of them focused on Wenger's thoughts on Upson. As we know, Upson never quite fulfilled his potential at Arsenal. If I'm wrong about this do correct me but his last ever game in an Arsenal shirt was against Aston Villa in 2001 where he was absolutely shocking in the first half.

Good news/ bad news day today. Best to start off with the bad news I guess just to get it out of the way. Have a whiskey to settle your nerves.

Modric; who many were led to believe that could be running around our left-hand side once again is unfortunately feeling a bit of a twinge on his broken fibula.

Okay, now I've got your attention with the headline and the funky flyer, just stay with me here for a couple of minutes.

Hark back to 2006. It was the first season at The Grove and despite many more tickets being on sale on a match-by-match basis, many gooners couldn't get a ticket to watch their club in the plush new stadium. It was nigh on impossible for Red members to get a ticket.
In those times, we couldn't buy a home draw in the Carling cup. Click to continue reading...

If any Gooners missed Nicklas' goal on Sunday, you can see it here again. Nicklas cuts in onto his right foot and unleashes a venom strike that hits the post and in. Take a look . . .

It might be the hangover I'm still suffering having watched the game on television with a load of raving Vietnamese Gooners in a bar in Ho Chi Minh City last night (game kicked off at 7.30pm local time), but a little of the shine of some magnificent attacking play was taken off by some pub team defending for both of t'Rovers' goals.

I wanted to write this the other day when I actually read a piece that Harry 'check out my eye-bags' Redknapp wrote in his column in the Sun newspaper. My apologies for it being later than a London bus.
He seems to have a massive opinion on Adebayor-gate and my advice to him is to keep his mouth shut. Click to continue reading...

Firstly, congratulations to Arsène Wenger on becoming the longest-serving manager in Arsenal history, overtaking George Allison's previous record from 1934 to 1947. Allison's reign included the Second World War of course when only war-time games were played which don't count in the official records.

The title to this article might suggest that I am providing some late coverage on Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner's recent car accident while driving to practice in his Aston Martin. In reality, though, this article is written in vehement defense of the player, who has certainly had more than his fair share of critics, to put it bluntly.

Today, Arsene Wenger becomes the longest-serving manager in the club's history surpassing the legendary George Allison on his 4,749th day as manager of the Arsenal. It is, then, a suitable occasion for a bit of retrospection and maybe even a bit of sentimentalism and nostalgia as well.

Having started following the club in the late-90s, I have never known an Arsenal side that was not managed by Arsene Wenger.

As a goalkeeper for Arsenal, Bob Wilson captured the heart of many Gooners. He gave 11 years service as a player before another 28 years as a goalkeeping coach. The word 'legend' is thrown around a lot these days, but it is a title Wilson richly deserves. But it doesn't stop there...

Wilson is a family man through and through.

I've noticed something in recent times and I'll be honest; I don't like it. In fact I hate it. I hate it as much as that Jack Daniel's sauce I bought from Tesco on Sunday for £2.54. The sauce leaves a sour taste in my mouth and so does this.
I'll probably upset some of my fellow Gooners here but I believe it has to be said; Why do we always dig someone out? Click to continue reading...

So there you go. We have got dough to spend. In fact we have so much dough I reckon that Kingsmill and Warburton are shitting themselves.
Now it's all good Arsenal announcing these record profits. In fact its fucking awesome. The problem though is Arsenal may have just kicked themselves right up the arse! Click to continue reading...

Hello everyone.� It has been quite a while since I have posted on here.� Been busy settling into my dorm here in London and of course busy heading up the The Emirates to check out the lads in person.� I was among the 56,000 Gooners who made the trip to the stadium on Tuesday night.

Listen to some Gooners after the Fulham game and it would seem like Mannone has suddenly become the greatest keeper on earth. Quite an elevation from our number three keeper. I have to congratulate the boy though for his reflex saves during the game at Craven Cottage. I am relieved for him, but I have not changed my view that he scares me and that he lacks what it takes to be a truly great keeper.

BY HARPER:

The intent of this article is not to focus once more on Adebayor and his antics against our players and supporters at Eastlands. Rather, I wanted to write this piece in response to the ridiculous myths that have now become entrenched as "facts" with regard to the Gooner Nation in the aftermath of not only the events of that game, but also the series of incidents that have generated negative coverage of Arsenal supporters in the last few seasons.

As this season rolls on we're starting to see the fruits of the "Arsenalisation" of the Grove. It's an ugly-sounding but accurate word for something most Gooners (including me) think is a great concept. Let's all big it up for all those inside the club responsible for this work. A big thank you to all those of you out there in the Gooner Nation who have taken the time to come up with ideas and send them to the club.

I hope I'm not making a mountain out of a mole hill here but I'm worried about our little darling Cesc Fabregas.
I hate to say it but I've watched him in recent games and he doesn't seem right. His body language and the way he is playing suggests that he either has things on his mind or he is just short of confidence. Click to continue reading...
