Another multi-goal margin of victory. Another "more than two goals" tally. Another soft goal conceded. Arsenal have seemingly picked up� where they left off before the international break. Birmingham's visit to North London proved to be an entertaining match that is open to interpretation.

Gunners by name, gunners by nature Arsenal's players have come up with a new training technique that might be a little too revolutionary even by Arsene Wenger's standards: Nerf gunfights!

If you read Arsenal Station regularly, you will know that I regularly criticize the British press, especially their treatment of Arsenal. Today, Arsenal Station guest contributor, Ted Harwood, continues that tradition with a look at the media's reaction following the incident between Jack Wilshire and Jerome Thomas in Arsenal's third-round Carling Cup match last weekend.

Listen!
I wrote this a few days ago and forgot to post it - apologies...Fulham match report to follow.
Considering how some other websites *cough* Myles Palmer *cough* insist on finding the negatives even in victory, I think it's best to look at the last three games as a success. Click to continue reading...

The media has been castigating Arsene Wenger since he came to England over the lack of English players that have come through the Arsenal ranks during his spell at Arsenal.

In fact during this period both Ashley Cole and Kieran Gibbs have played regularly for Arsenal, in the same period there have been players coming through the ranks at Liverpool, Tottenham or Chelsea and Manchester United have Wes Brown to show for their great English academy.

Jack Wilshere and Carlos Vela have done it again. And is anyone surprised? Wilshere controlled the match and was, by far, the best player on the pitch in last night's 2-nil victory over joint-leaders of the Championship, West Bromwich Albion, in the third round of the Carling Cup. The youngsters' Carling Cup campaign opened at the Emirates and though not sold out, there was a sizeable crowd there as always eagerly anticipating a look at the Arsenal starlets.

Thomas clashed with Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere, and was dismissed after slapping him. Click to continue reading...

If you didn't like that pun I apologize. I thought it was pretty good. Then again, puns tend to annoy a lot of people. Why? I don't know. It's not like it is the lowest form of humour. That would be sarcasm. "Yeah, right!" (said Samuel Johnson)

Morning all. I'll be the first to admit I haven't been posting nearly enough this Summer, but I've been reinvigorated by the upcoming start of the season and so I'm back and I wanted to give my thoughts on everything that has happened in the past week or so while I've been in New Hampshire.
So first off we had the Kolo Toure transfer to Manchester City. Click to continue reading...

Ignore that previous post, wrong picture and Flickr decided it wanted to screw up my formatting. Anyway, here's a better picture of Jack. And of course, we hope that the future is bright for Arsenal and that the kids do come good. Sooner rather than later, though.(Picture (c) crazysupaman @ Flickr) Click to continue reading...

Good evening all. I've been a bit lazy the past two days and uninspired. The Arshavin madness has been driving me a bit insane, and perhaps the saga has reached an end. The Daily Mail is reporting that an agreement has been reached between Zenit and Arsenal for the tune of £15m. A large sum, one might say, but when the likes of Berbatov and Robinho are going for around £30m+, I'll take what I can get.
