Good news yesterday for Arsenal fans as Le Boss has signed an extension that will take him through the 2008 season. We?ve been beyond fortunate to have Arsene Wenger associated with our club. The lasting contributions he has made are lengthy, including, but not limited to:
-Bringing glory, and trophies, to the club
-Building a winning team without breaking the budget
-Developing a fantastic training facility and bringing modern ideas to the club
-Doing it all with a degree of class
Wenger?s legacy goes beyond just Arsenal, where he now comfortably sits alongside...

I don’t know why soup was hurled at Sir Alex, and neither does anyone else here. I’m assuming that it did happen, but until we know why it happened I think we should keep silent. It?s very easy for people to taunt and make all the verbal jibes then try to take the high ground when feelings run high. Why was an Arsenal member of staff assaulted? What really happened in that tunnel or dressing room, if in fact anything did happen? WE DON?T KNOW!!
Wenger doesn’t believe in criticizing or commenting on his players in public. But he has before, and I can name off head at...

I’m not complaining about Henry not SCORING. The point I’ve been trying to put across is - with TALENT as huge as Henry’s, he should shoulder the responsibility of being the MAIN MAN and take over the game in BIG MATCHES/CRUCIAL MATCHES. That does not mean just by scoring. So often, he simply DISAPPEARED. I hope to see him in the thick of the action, to get the ball, to pass the ball, to run more, creating space for teammates…
Of course I acknowledged the contribution Henry had done for us over years, and the goals he had scored. But that’s not the...

Ed. Note - A modest proposal from Executive Committee member, Coach McGuirk…
Well, we’ve all survived another ManU/Arsenal match at Old Trafford. Sure, some feathers were ruffled, some food was thrown, and officials were berated, but the team managed to avoid one of those bench clearing brawls that certainly are not appropriate in soccer. That’s something those Neanderthal hockey players only do! Not to bring the beautiful game into any disrepute, but soccer could learn a thing or 2 from hockey on how to control players on the pitch.
OK, now that I’ve...

Well, guys, it’s been a long time coming. 49 games to be exact. That’s 4410 minutes without defeat. Over 17 months. I know, it hurts more than anything that it had to be Man Utd, but we musta seen it coming. We knew the ref was a no good Man Utd penalty bit$h, we knew our players were going to get kicked all over the park by a team with absolutely no interest in playing football, and the ref would do absolutely nothing about it until it became too blatant. I would have preferred to lose to Chelsea even, but like I said, it had to happen sooner or later and that’s life. If we...

Okay Okay… it was MY FAULT we lost at Old Trafford. I accept the blame, and I hope all my fellow Gooners can forgive me.
It played out like this…
I was talking to the GODS OF SPORT last week, as I was begging them to remove the Curse of the Bambino from the Boston RedSox…
When they asked me what I had to offer in return, the only thing I could think of that was remotely of similar worth to me, was the Arsenal undefeated streak. So, with much trepidation… I told the Gods of Sport… they could award Manchester United a win over Arsenal, in return...

Anybody here got access to a time machine? Then I guess the result is going to stand. So, what can we as supporters and the Arsenal players do?
As fans we have to stop pissing and moaning about the refereeing decisions. I’ve seen the highlights now and yeah, you could certainly make a case for ‘we got jobbed.’ But you know what, when you play 65 games a year, with human referees, that’s going to happen. I’m sure if you reviewed every Arsenal EPL game last year you could make a top 10 list of calls that went our way.

I know Henry has some bad games here and there but there is no reason why he should get any stick from Arsenal fans just for not scoring. I know that looking back at some of the games Arsenal have played over the last 5 years that Henry has been very quiet, but we cannot always point the finger at Henry when he doesn’t perform. I think Henry has got a lot of pressure on his shoulders to score fantastic goals all the time but he can’t, his only human. Like Arsene said, thierry is still young and he will improve. In my opinion Henry is a fantastic player and the only way he can perform...

There were many controversial moments on Sunday, but in my opinion the worst that happened correlates to last season’s corresponding fixture. If the rules of the game allow a “challenge” like Vieira’s air-kick on Van Nistlerooy to warrant a dismissal then there must be some perfectly good explanation why Van Nistlerooy’s stamp on Ashley Cole went unpunished. Surely? Um, well let’s compare and contrast: Van Nislterooy made contact with Cole, Viera didn’t; Viera’s resulted from provocation, Van Nistlerooy was provoked by Cole being in the same vicinity;...
