Van Persie, Bum deal or Deal of the Season? by Paul N.

When Robin Van Persie secured his move to Man Utd (a ‘dream move’ in his words), many United fans, if not all, thought ‘Steal of the Decade’… I, however, have my doubts & they’re not without reason.

Some of us Arsenal fans, & maybe 1 or 2 pragmatic United fans, are questioning the business smart in the deal i.e. is it smart to buy a 29yr old with a known injury record (see below), with 1yr left on his existing contract, at a cost of ± £65m to Man Utd (24m plus an estimated 41m in salaries over 4yrs), just why did AFC sell the EPL’s best striker? & more importantly WHY did Man Utd take that chance?  Read more...

Hello Gooners (I wish you all well)

Today I would like to write a very small blog to some of the mindless attack merchants about their comments towards a German international with over a hundred caps for his country. Lukas Podolski is only 27 and has been playing at a high standard for a few years now and some of the people that slate the guy I question their whole knowledge and back ground on the game itself.  Read more...

This is my first article so be gentle guys by Ankeet

I am majorly a big cricket fan & support my Team India. However, I moved to Africa in ’97 & due to lack of cricket I got hooked onto the premier league. This was the same season in which Arsenal won the league after being 8th near Christmas. My reason for being a Gooner? Wenger, Bergkamp & the Arsenal way of playing.  Read more...

Theo Walcott by Amlan

Robin van Persie has already left for Manchester and Alex Song is supposedly on his way to Barcelona, so will Theo Walcott be the next big name to leave the Emirates?

Walcott is in the last year of his contract and is yet to sign an extension. Arsene Wenger said to the press –
‘We are still trying to extend his deal.’

‘When a player doesn’t want to stay you either force him or you let him go.’  Read more...

Once again from one of the big football nations in Africa, I write this short article as a frustrated man who has been lamenting over Arsenal’s dismal performances since 2005.

A few weeks ago Arsenal was one of the early spenders; Arsenal bought without hesitation and even bought what could be easily recognised as stars. As supporters we all praised the prof and our belief and faith in him started growing stronger! The signing of Podolski and Giroud, and later Cazorla, brought hope to the Gooners for once. A possible striking partnership of Robin Van Persie, Giroud and Podolski with Cazorla, Walcott, Arteta and the likes of Song in the midfield was a very winning combination and a trophy was surely smelling!  Read more...

For Once Be Our Arsenal by Vinay

Alright its over, lets move on shall we. He has gone and it is good riddance in every sense of the word. The one thing that I sincerely wished was for someone, if not everyone, from the manager to the staff and the players was to come out and say something like this- “We dont speak about our ex players”, such a simple yet such a classy statement.  Read more...

Van Persie – Why? by Taki

Van Persie is undoubtedly one of soccer’s hits from last season. With more goals than anyone else in the EPL we all knew he was going to be on the radar of many clubs. We all accepted that and even came to terms that he might leave at some point. Fair enough.

What I don’t understand is why Man United? Firstly with a list of gifted strikers one has to wonder why Van Persie was even considered as an option for them. Secondly, and this is by far the more frightening question is why Van Persie would want to be at Man U??  Read more...

Where does the real truth Lay?? by OzzyAFC

We all knew it would happen, Most didn’t want it to Happen and No one wanted it to happen this way but it has Robin Van Persie no longer scores when he wants…at least not in an Arsenal shirt any more . Now while a great many of us pause to reflect on what has happened here I have to admit that I am relieved it’s over even if the outcome has made me sick to my stomach.  Read more...

Frimpong was right (There is no loyalty from most players of today.)

Hello Gooners I hope you are all well.

So Robin has flown the nest. The man who stated he loves the club has gone to bitter rivals Manchester United. So how are we all feeling today knowing we sold one of our best player to United? I have a season ticket and I can tell you I’m sick as a fxxxing pig.  Read more...

Selling Van Persie to Manchester United (Its suicidal) And players need to learn respect.
by John Collard

Hello Gooners.

Its not great business and its not anything that any of the Arsenal fans would want (So why sell him to united). Its really getting beyond the joke should this sale of our skipper take place. I think I speak for the majority of normal headed Arsenal fans that only selling him abroad can only be our option should Robin really wish to leave.  Read more...
