Its the Premier League all over again, its staring at our face and it all starts this weekend. Two and half months of waiting, endless media speculation of who is coming and who is going, 3 great signings and one waiting to leave, whatever be the case, its that time of the year to clear your throats and shout- “Come on Arsenal”.

Lets look at potentially how the league will span out for the next 10 months and analyze in brief who has the best chance of winning the league.  Read more...

FLAMBE by Siddharth

Elvis once said, “When things go wrong, don’t go with them”.

Arsenal’s transfer windows have been the subjects of hours of debate for the last many seasons. This one however has been a revelation, at least so far. I won’t dwell into how great I think the new signings are, enough has been said already and I think it’s important to keep expectations realistic. These guys are coming to a new team, a new country and a new system of football; don’t expect them to be set the world alight straight away. There is no doubt that the signings have been wonderful, supremely talented individuals who will eventually become a big part of the club but even the best wines take a while to mature.  Read more...

Yann M’Vila has been a long-term target for Arsenal, with Wenger first showing an interest when we bid last year. Since then, M’Vila has had a few problems and now Rennes’ asking price has dropped from £20 million down to a bargain €12 million.

Yesterday it was revealed that the Arsenal target is now very close to a move to England. The National claim that Spurs have lodged a bid of €12 million for the France international, but whether that’s true or not, I’m not sure. Spurs have Parker, Sandro, Huddlestone and even Jenas, so until one of them moves on it would be a bit strange for Spurs’ to move for M’Vila.  Read more...

Will Wenger undo all the good work? by Seth

It’s been a surreal summer for Arsenal fans so far and I know most of us are really waiting for the season to start while some Gooners are waiting for this Sunday’s match against Koln to catch a glimpse of the new look Arsenal squad. Either way, both dates can’t come soon enough.  Read more...

AFC – A Turning Tide by Vinay

Hi all,

Strange start to the pre-season isnt it? A win, a draw and a defeat and as per a lot of critics, same old Arsenal. Wait, we havent been the same old Arsenal in a lot of ways. The activities outside the pitch definitely indicate that we havent been what we were accused of. Arsenal were the selling club, we kept losing out on our targets because we either couldnt afford or we weren’t attractive enough. So called big names wouldnt really want to play for AFC because we were no longer considered a viable option.  Read more...

After the capture of Spanish international Santi Cazorla, Arsenal look to be on the verge of another big name acquisition: Real Madrid’s Nuri Sahin.

The Spanish Daily Marca are reporting that the former Borrusia Dortmund playmaker is set for a temporary move to North London after talks between the two clubs have gone successfully.

The Daily also claims that negotiations are in an advanced stage and all that stands in the way of a deal to be reached is the percentage of the player’s wages that have to be paid by each club.  Read more...

Wenger Proves Us All Wrong Again by Sam

With Giroud, Podolski, and Cazorla already signed for a total of 40 million pounds I think it is fair to say that Arsene Wenger has proved us all wrong again. He has signed 3 top class players for bargain prices. Also with Nuri Sahin likely coming into the squad, we are looking very good.  Read more...

Robin Van Persie To Stay at Arsenal?

The Sunday Mirror are reporting tooday that our skipper RVP has performed a remarkable U-Turn, and now has a mind to stay at Arsenal. Obviously, the reliability of the article must come under a lot of scrutiny. As RVP effectively said that he wasn’t extending his contract due to our ‘lack of ambition’, our sudden display of clear ambition (with Cazorla etc.) was bound to spark a U-Turn article. However, on the other hand, there have been many reports that RVP’s attitude in training has been much improved in recent days. Anyway, you guys can judge, here’s a quote from the article:  Read more...

Once again we have a top class player who does not want to stay. He is not happy with the way the club is going.
I don’t blame him as I think it is the midfield and defence that we need to sort out. All the players we are going for are forwards and attacking midfielders. This has been a problem that has been around for awhile and is only seen when results are bad and glossed over when we win, but is still there all the same.  Read more...
