True to form Arsenal made it much harder on themselves than was necessary, and when Fulham pulled level with twelve minutes to go, one could hear every Arsenal supporter in the world sighing, “Here we go again.”
However, after a torrid six minutes of Fulham attacks, Cesc Fabregas again made his case for Player of the Year. In a classic example of counter-attack, Cesc’s cutting through ball found an on-rushing Emmanuel Adebayor, whose brilliantly placed curled shot beat a diving Niemi to restore...

Jens Lehmann has announced today that he has signed a one year extension with Arsenal, and will therefore retain his title of “Mad Jens Of North London” for at least another 12 months. There had been speculation that Lehmann would move back to Das Bundesliga, but, the German was quoted as saying, “I’m going to stay an extra year, Arsenal’s a great club with a good outlook. I want to play in the Champions League next season.”
Despite the signing, reports abound regarding Arsenal’s...

I know many may disagree, but I believe keeping Lehmann for one more season is very crucial.
I have a firm believe we will launch a serious charge on the Premiership title next season. In order to achieve that, we cannot afford to experiment a new ‘keeper in one of the most crucial positions of the team.
I always believe goalkeeper is the most difficult position to replace. Take Man Utd, it took them several years to properly replace Schmeichel. Ferguson had tried many different goalkeepers, all with...

After going down 1-0 to the scum at White Hart Lane, Arsenal DOMINATED the second half, scoring twice to seemingly wrap up the three points. Then, horror of horrors, Jermaine Jenas scored thirty seconds after the four minutes of extra time had expired to earn the scum a draw.
Arsenal had TONS of chances to put the game away, but as is usual for this season, none were taken. The goals that they did score came from Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor, the latter of whom had multiple chances clang off the bar.
So,...

Been in meetings all day, and they’re not through yet, but I just heard about this huge story and had to take a quick break. Obviously there’s a lot to the story that’s yet to come out, but for the first taste, check out the official release on

My first reaction is that this is quite worrying. Dein’s...

Tomas Rosicky and Cesc Fabregas each scored for the second match in a row, and Julio Baptista sealed the points late as Arsenal beat Manchester City 3-1 at the Grove earlier tonight.
Rosicky opened the scoring with a goal not too dissimilar to the goal he scored against Bolton on Saturday. He out-hustled the defender to latch on to Emmanuel Eboue’s cross, controlled brilliantly, and finished with a low strike past the diving Citeh keeper.
As has been the case of late, Arsenal controlled the game...

It had been exactly a month since the Gunners last won a match, but when it mattered most, Cesc Fabregas powered Arsenal to a 2-1 victory over perennial bogey-side Bolton.
It looked as though the dark days were to continue when after ten minutes, Arsenal old boy, and all around rat-faced bastard Nicolas Anelka put the Midlands club up 1-0. The Gunners fought back, and at one point in the first half, dominated possession by an astonishing 94% to 6%. Finally, the hard work paid off, when a nice cross...

From today’s on-line Guardian….I am not sure on how this may play out…the fragmentation of the stockholders and their antipathy for each other may make this easy for Kroenke.

The uncertainty surrounding Arsenal’s long-term future deepened yesterday with confirmation that the American billionaire Stanley Kroenke has increased his stake in the club to 11.26%. Kroenke, owner...

This is not a preview. This is a rallying call for the players and fans alike.
Bolton are coming to the Emirates. A CL spot is on line. It’s time to stand up and be counted. It’s now or never.
We can do it. We can beat Bolton and secure 4th spot. Let’s just do it.
Go Gunners.
