Report: Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle
By Randy Osae A ruthless Arsenal put three unanswered goals past Newcastle on a very pleasant day at the Emirates Stadium. There was no need to be an Arsenal fan to admire a typical football exhibition. Van Persie’s brace and Denilson’s well taken chance ensured a massive rise into the top-half of the table for [...]
UCL draw – Porto, Fenerbahce and D.K
Arsenal got a mixed fortune in the draw for this season’s Champions League group-stages. FC Porto, Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kiev were the other three who joined a seeded Gunners in the Group G pot. Porto are familiar opponents from just two seasons ago, but while Dynamo Kiev might seem the weakest of the bunch, a [...]
Senderos moves to Milan…not really loan deal
By Randy Osae Arsenal have confirmed Philippe Senderos’ move to AC Milan as a season-long loan which many are aware of. The 23 year-old underwent a medical in Italy on Tuesday before the deal was later completed. But other sources claim Senderos has doubled his Arsenal wage and will earn around £2.5million a year in [...]
Report: Arsenal 4-0 FC Twente
By Randy Osae Early season doubters after the Fulham loss were easily back on Arsenal’s side as a set of rampant Gunners brushed past FC Twente for a ticket into another Champions League adventure. Starting the day with a 2-0 aggregate lead over the Dutch opponents, Arsenal rather eased with their best performance so far [...]
Report: Fulham 1-0 Arsenal
By Randy Osae An absolutely sluggish Arsenal side were fairly beaten by Fulham in a disappointing match at Craven Cottage. Last season, an impressive Arsenal start had to go a double-figured number of games before finally beaten in December. This year, it looks as though the early loss to Fulham will ditch the burden of [...]
Traore sent to Pompey for a year
The apparent reason why veteran Mikael Silvestre was signed did not take too long to realize. It was for the good of one of Arsenal’s cunning youngsters – Armand Traore who sevred as Clichy’s studying back-up last year. Arsenal have agreed a season-long loan deal with Portsmouth and that now puts Silvestre right behind Clichy [...]
Mikael is signed, Arshavin’s agent regrets
It’s official now, a player has actually switched paths from Manchester to North London. And that, – Mikael Silvestre was announced today as Wenger’s latest signing, coming for a £750,000 handshake with Manchester United. The 31-year-old moved to United from Inter Milan in 1999 and took part in the Red Devils’ legendary days but struggled [...]
Adebayor makes commitment
It is forgotten now, all the day to day talks of Adebayor soon being a Milan or Barcelona player. At some point, it looked as if the Togolese striker had already said goodbye and we would call him “former” in no time. Other times, the pile of hearsays around Adebayor even rivaled Ronaldo’s king of [...]
Hoyte presented to Boro fans
Yesterday, Justin Hoyte completed his quick but move to Middlesborough. Just like the fans of both parties involved, Justin himself found the move that went from rumor to bid and then transfer in days as unforeseen. “It was very strange traveling to a Champions League qualifier and being on the bench for that game and [...]
Report: Arsenal 1-0 West Brom
By Randy Osae A win is a win, no matter how or by how many – that is exactly what Arsenal believed and did today. On his Premier League debut, Samir Nasri did what few have – that is, score just four minutes in with what proved to be the game winner in the end. [...]
