Posted in match preview on Nov 20th, 2006 Comments Off on Return To Sender-os?
Typical, after I’ve written two recent columns singing the praises of William Gallas the terrible news came through today that he’s out for several weeks with a thigh injury. Perhaps I should consider waxing lyrical about the likes of Rooney and Drogba in coming days? Or perhaps not! Billy’s misfortune presents an opportunity to Senderos […]

I’ve just been listening to Talk Sport and the tale of a ‘jolly’ either last night , or the night before, at which messrs Ferguson and Mourinho were present. Somebody apparently put the question to them both ‘Which player would you most want to sign now?’ Dear old Fergie, bless him, came out with Robin […]

Arsene Wenger is struggling to come up with the answers why we are dropping so many points at home. We all are. Every game the stats read impressively in Arsenal’s favour, but it seems if we concede first the game will finish 1-1. Villa, Boro, Everton, and now Newcastle, have cost us eight valuable points. […]

Reports are starting to hit the wires that Freddie Ljungberg has been ruled out of the clash with Newcastle. With Gilberto also missing for ‘family reasons’ it is looking increasingly likely that Arsene Wenger will be forced into a 4-4-2 formation with Adebayor coming in up front, and Flamini playing the holding role. Le Boss […]
Here is a quick reminder for Gooners that the legend that is Perry Groves is on Talk Sport this afternoon with Hawksbee and Jacobs at 1.00pm. Perry’s book, “We All Live In A Perry Groves World” is the must-buy present to put on your Christmas list. To quote the synopsis from Amazon (where you can […]
Posted in match preview on Nov 16th, 2006 Comments Off on Geordies – Foe or Goal Fodder?
Not much to do today other than scan the news reports to ensure the internationals yielded no injury worries for us. It’s looking good so far. With an eye on Saturday’s clash with Newcastle I’m interested to see the Sun reporting that the Geordies are down to just three fit defenders. Others suggest that Titus […]

After all the withdrawals in this strangely positioned international week I’m delighted to be able to mention Justin Hoyte’s match-winning performance for the England U-21’s in Holland. Justin has been on the fringe of things for a while now and spent last season freezing his cobs off at Sunderland in a vain attempt to help […]

You have been writing in your one’s to ask if cousin Goonerholich would be back after commenting on our match with CSKA. Sadly he is now safely back in his dacha so I have asked my cousin Franglaise to give us his take on new boy William Gallas. Here is his unique take on our […]
Posted in match review on Nov 13th, 2006 Comments Off on Wenger Wins The Tactical Battle
The defeat of Liverpool was a triumph for Arsene Wenger. The talk in the pubs around the ground an hour before kick-off centred on the absence of Lehmann and the selection of Flamini. Concerns that were expressed proved premature and unnecessary. In fact it transpired that the manager who got it wrong was Benitez. I’m […]

Jens Lehmann is thirty-seven today. Every Gooners favourite crazy German celebrated three years with the club in the summer while on World Cup duty. On his arrival at Highbury, as successor to David Seaman, Jens divided supporters with some high profile errors and his willingness to react to the mildest of challenges from opponents. By […]
