By Josif We have undoubtedly witnessed a lot of big players leaving Arsenal. If we solely focus on the Wenger-era, we have seen Nicolas Anelka sulking his move away from Arsenal to Real Madrid in 1999 where he was a huge failure, Both Emmanuel Petit and Marc Overmars leaving Arsenal for Camp Nou in 2000 …

By Walter Broeckx It is known by every Arsenal supporter in the world by now I guess. Arsène Wenger has been Arsenal manager for 20 years manager.  An amazing long time in the current football climate.

By Sir Hardly Anyone Now this is at last getting interesting for the media, desperately short of inane rumours to pedal have come up with not just one but two new ideas to fill up space. First, if there is any player thought to have even a 1% chance of coming to Arsenal they proclaim …

By Billy the Dog McGraw Let me assure you this story about Lionel Messi is not from a bloggetta.  No.  It  comes Untold’s English newspaper of choice (although we give them the occasional bashing for forgetting the evidence and printing silly things).  (In our opinion).

By Walter Broeckx As I said in my match report being drawn against the tiny Totts in the first round was a bad present. I think we can put out an almost complete youth team in the league cup and lose without people making a big deal of it. But not against the totts. So …

Chris Geczy and Tony Attwood How long without a trophy? We know how long the wait has been for Arsenal, but is this usual, or unusual? There are still some of us who remember a previous run – or at least the end of it.   It ended in 1969/70 with the Fairs Cup.  It started …

Ever since I once cracked a joke about Mr Wenger signing Peter Crouch and then finding the story written up in the next day’s newspaper gossip columns I’ve been extra careful in what I say about transfers.
