  Waste no more words on RVP let's see some more signings

  Last night was a night of mixed emotions. On one hand I was sorry that our captain was tied up to a move to Man utd as I would have preferred that he had been sold abroad.But on the other hand I am glad that the sorry saga has reached it's climax. I don't blame the board at Arsenal for selling ...

  We should only sell abroad.

  As the transfer rumour mill heats up on the likelyhood of Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal board selling RVP to Manchester United before deadline day. You have to pause for thought and ask yourself what other competitive business would sell obvious assets to their competition. In the seasons that ...

  You can't buy class or dignity

  Trawling through press releases, online articles and social network sites this summer has brought to my attention the number of people disrespecting Arsenal football club, especially Manchester city fans. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of banter and wind up at the expense of other clubs. But ...

  Much work to be done before August

  Anyone who sat through yesterdays pre season game against the Malaysian XI would have undoubtedly been pulling their hair out. Although most Arsenal fans have probably nothing left to pull out after the last few seasons. Whilst a few of the younger players showed some flashes of promise it was ...

  Don't Marginalise Quality signings!

  Two weeks Into July and the transfer market speculation is intensifying with regards to new signings and departures. Is Rvp going? Will Theo extend his current contract? Will Jack Wilshere ever be fit? The talk flying around the WWW is endless and frankly tiresome at times. Amidst all of this ...

  When did debt become sense?

  As an Arsenal fan I like to see trophies, but not at any cost. Since RVP dropped his statement to the media last week all that we have heard is spend, spend, spend. I am curious to know when spending became the be all and end all of football. From the fans, to the players, to the sports media e...

  Why we need Arsene Wenger more than ever

  It was a typical Sunday evening in my local, about ten diners and two or three sipping ale at the bar. What wasn't the norm was the funeral feel at the table where my friends and I sat. We had just witnessed our beloved Arsenal slaughtered 8 - 2 at Manchester Utd and couldn't have felt any worse...

  Should he stay or should he go?

  Like most Arsenal fans I was disappointed to hear the news coming from Robin Van Persie in yesterdays media. Disappointed, but not surprised, all pointers had looked like RVP was not going to sign a new contract for several weeks now. Since the story broke yesterday I have read many comments abo...

  Why Not Give the Kid a Chance?

  On my usual mid-morning rummage through the newspaper transfer talk I came across the headline “Real Sociedad want Vela to stay” This got me to thinking about all of the players that had come through the Arsenal doors only to seem destined for the bench or loaned out. Of these seemingly revo...

  The agony of the transfer rumour mill

  I don't know about other fans but for me this time of year is the worst. I enjoy the hot weather and blue skies but the big downside for me is the transfer rumour mill. This summer we have the all too familiar will he won't he stay saga that has manifested in recent seasons. Last year it w...

  Why don't we like spending money on good players?

  I was delving through the newspaper stories and came across the season ticket information for the premier league. When I saw the table in the paper I got to wondering how it was that we couldn't compete in the transfer market with the likes of Man utd, Chelsea and City. I have looked at doz...

  Hoping that Robin isn't only out to feather his nest!

  Where are Arsenal Going?

  I am and always have been one of the most optomistic Arsenal fans around. When things are rough I stick by my team and never lose sight of the whole picture. But even in my world of eternal sunshine I cannot see arsenal challenging for big silverware. Every season since the glorious " Invinci...

  Arsenals next top scoring Midfielder?

  With the season now behind us and 3rd place in the bag speculation arises about the clubs summer signings and departures. As we understand it RVP is stalling and every target we seem to go after ends up on the list at Man city, Chelsea, Man utd and even Spurs. Whilst i do not know enough about ...

  Balancing Brand Finance with Winning

  I was looking at the brand finance figures for the richest clubs in football and that got me to pondering on how we can keep the club stable and also splash the cash on a winning team. The figures for the estimated brand worth of Arsenal were 2010 £215 million 2011 £188 million ( 12.5% down...

  No Bargain Buys

  Last night was a bittersweet evening for myself and most probably the majority of other Arsenal fans. The pain of watching Chelsea pick up a trophy that we haven't won yet was a bitter pill only marginally eased by the fact that it pushed Spurs into the Europa league and brought home to their f...
