Preview: Manchester City vs Arsenal
By Randy Osae It’s more fiery than a desert’s volcano. That is the current state of Arsenal’s ambiance – if that’s not an exaggeration. But it’s very much a factor that since Aston Villa’s dumping, Arsenal have been home to theatrical chaos – all off the pitch. The trauma of a quenching season, Waloctt’s inclusion […]
Fuming Gallas on red-line with boss…who’s at fault?
By Randy Osae One name was very informal in Wednesday’s media talks – Gallas, that was. Arsenal’s skipper is now reportedly on the verge of facing scrutiny from Arsene Wenger and club officials about the possession of the captain’s armband after carelessly lifting the lid on the currently worsening turmoil at Arsenal’s ranks. To the […]
Terry will be last to discount Arsenal, Nick wants more?
By Randy Osae Perhaps Arsenal’s doubters are not necessarily their rivals. Mathematically, it’s ridiculous to perceive that Arsenal’s title tilt is done and somehow, even logically, the Gunners’ hopes of being champions come May are not dead and buried…yet. Chelsea skipper John Terry is very adamant about that theory, and so are we? Those aspirations […]
Injuries and suspensions mount, Arsene clueless
By Randy Osae It is not a fully grown absentees’ list but Arsenal will again have missing men in the next fixture due to another injury set-back for Bacary Sagna while Fabregas’ acquisition of a fifth yellow card on Saturday implies that he will face suspension. The duo are arguably the most countable to face […]
Preview: Arsenal vs Aston Villa
By Randy Osae What a little week changes and provides. It’s no more doom and gloom in north London – when just seven days ago, many feared they were starring utter crisis. It took a simple victory over Manchester United to retrieve the colorful atmosphere and a very youthful eleven in the Carling Cup to […]
Eduardo in training for first time since February
By Randy Osae It had been a long absence – which many expected to end very far from now. But on Wednesday afternoon, Eduardo da Silva made an emotional return to training and pretty much announced his incredible return to football after that brutal wound he suffered at Birmingham over nine months ago. He reportedly […]
Brace hero dedicates show to Wrighty
By Randy Osae If Theo Walcott is Thierry Henry, then Jay Simpson is the legendary Ian Wright. Arsenal’s 19-year-old prodigy – who still has his name untouched in record books for the only hat-trick scored at the Emirates Stadium (for the reserves) – further foiled his glimpses of star quality with another remarkable pair of […]
Carling Cup next, Video: Bischoff wonder goal
By Randy Osae Ahead of the Carling Cup’s next round, many of Arsenal’s youngsters are expectedly vying for opportunities to further cut their teeth at the club. Vela, Wilshire, Gavin Hoyte, Gibbs, Randall and Djourou are almost certain starters for the visit of Steve Bruce’s muscled Wigan side in the fourth round of this year’s […]
Report: Arsenal 0-0 Fenerbahce
By Randy Osae Another gritty Gunners failed to comprehensively break down Fenerbahce and shared the spoils in a dull matchday 4 battle on Wednesday. Whether this result was efficient enough or not is unclear, but Wenger’s men will have to do a little work to ensure a place in the knock-out stages and finish at […]
Insight: Where we are
By Randy Osae Arsenal are in crisis…only if you think they are. Cast memories back to exactly seven days ago, all talks were about how title credentials had been demonstrated in mature fashion at Upton Park. While the patch Wenger’s men are currently on is very problematic – to say the least – we need […]
