Arsenal boss hails trio for stand-out displays in West Brom win
Arsene Wenger has praised Mohamed Elneny, Nacho Monreal and Alexandre Lacazette for their performances for Arsenal against West Bromwich Albion last night. The Gunners snatched a 2-0 win in the Monday Night Football encounter at the Emirates Stadium yesterday, but the scoreline doesn’t reflect the overall play. West Brom really brought the game to us […]
Arsenal defender asks to leave? Chambers to step-up?
Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi has supposedly told the club that he wishes to leave, and has agreed a move with Inter Milan. The German international joined the club from Valencia in a reported £35 Million deal only last summer, and after a rocky opening campaign, is now being linked with the exit door. Juventus and both […]
Arsenal injury update ahead of Hull tie
Arsenal have had two very poor defeats on the trot in the Premier League and will be hoping that they can pick up all three points against Hull City. On paper, it should be an easy fixture for the Gunners; but then nobody expected a defeat against Watford and so we will need to be up […]
Will Elneny injury prompt late Arsenal signing?
Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny has fallen foul of injury whilst on international duty with Egypt this week. The midfielder was due to play in tonight’s crunch quarter-final match against Morocco this evening, but was ruled out with a calf injury. The extent of the injury is still unconfirmed, but with Granit Xhaka currently banned from action and […]
TWO Arsenal injury updates to cheer up gutted Gooners

Why are Arsenal going for another centre midfield transfer?
Arsenal fans may start to feel that the transfer action at the club is something akin to the London buses that go past the ground, as in you wait for ages and then three come along at the same time. That is if the recent Arsenal transfer rumour about the Roma and Argentina international star […]
Cazorla back but which midfield options will start at Man Utd?
Arsenal fans may be getting worried that our usual bad luck with injury problems is coming back and is going to ruin yet another Premier League title challenge. It is certainly not a good thing that the sports injury website physioroom.com shows that the Gunners have more players in the treatment room than all of […]
Arsenal boss to blame for needless Cazorla injury?
I may be wrong but I have a feeling that Arsene Wenger’s decision to leave Granit Xhaka on the bench for the thumping Champions League win over Ludogorets Razgrad was taken in part because of the red card the Swiss international picked up last weekend against Swansea. Even though the boss defended his summer signing […]
Should Arsenal rest Cazorla for ‘massive’ game against Ludogorets?
When Arsene Wenger gives a press conference ahead of an Arsenal game there is usually one of the players there with him to answer questions from the attendant football media, and it is almost always one of the players that the manager plans to be in the starting line-up for the game. So judging by […]
Arsenal stars double delight in World Cup qualifying
Those of us Arsenal fans that are based in England or even in different countries around the continent of Europe do not tend to pay all that much attention to what is going on with other parts of the world. So even though there are World Cup qualifying matches taking place in almost every corner […]
Should Arsenal play a full strength side against ‘English experts’ Basel?
Arsenal fans and some football pundits may be expecting the Gunners to run riot again on Wednesday when Basel come to north London for the second Champions League group game, but Arsene Wenger is certainly not taking the game for granted and with good reason too. As reported by the Evening Standard our manager was […]
Why Coquelin injury is NOT bad news for Arsenal
With all the injury problems that have plagued our club in recent years, the Arsenal fans are very well schooled in what damage an injury or a string of injuries can do to a team. Often it has been the timing of these problems as much as the injuries themselves that causes so much trouble, […]
Should BOTH Arsenal stars face their former club Basel?
This week sees Arsenal play host to the Swiss club Basel in our second Champions League group game and after the point we brought back from the away game at PSG, thanks to a bit of luck, a win on Wednesday would give us a great platform to go on and finally finish on top […]
