It's Over!! According to Mr Wenger



Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted for the first time this season that the Premier League title is out of our reach and our pursuit of the Premier League title is over.

As an Arsenal fans, it gonna be some sort of frustration and asking what has gone wrong?

MANU won their last eight league match without conceding a goal and a win over Fulham at Old Trafford will put them 15 points ahead of Arsenal. ouch.

Wenger also confessed that qualifying for next season’s Champions League is now the first target for him.

So let's hope we can string together a nice run which enable Arsenal to get back into the Champions League spot. Let's go Arsenal!!

Arsenal vs Barcelona



Arsenal are going to face Barcelona in a friendly match for UNICEF for the first time since 2005 Champions League final, where Arsenal lost 2-1 to the mighty Barcelona.

On paper this so called charity friendly match will be a mount-watering clash between two clubs who play beautiful football. another reason is Arsenal always look for a chance to get their revenge after losing to Barcelona in the final of the Champions League.

Well another reason that make this match so excited is there are former players on both sides. Are you confused? Lets break it down, our captain Fabregas is a former Barcelona trainee and playing for Arsenal. While Barcelona are having two former Arsenal players-the Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and former playmaker Alex Hleb.



Well bare in mind, there are always transfer rumour between this two clubs. With Arsenal showing interest in Yaya Toure, the younger brother of Kolo, who is playing for Arsenal. Barcelona had constantly showed interest in our players. The latest news shows that Barcelona are interested in Adebayor, van Persie and of course, our captain Cesc Fabregas.



The match are going to held two weeks after the end of current season. Looking forward to it!!

Arshavin! Arshavin! Arshavin!

When a new signing signs for a club, obviously the fans of the club are looking forward for the new signing to make his debut. Even the player himself will want to make his debut as soon as possible.

January 2009 was a full of transfer sagas. But for Arsenal fans, there's only one saga will be on their mind. Yes it was the Andrey Arshavin transfer saga. Yea the Arsenal's deadline date signing is yet to make his debut for Arsenal and i believe our fans are eager to see what he can do on the field.

In my opinion, the Cardiff match was the best chance for him to make his debut but unfortunately, he is ineligible for the match.

However i am looking forward for his debut and i predict he is going to make his debut against Sunderland. The match is taking place at the Emirates Stadium on 21/02.

Looking forward to it!!! Arshavin!!

The Return of Eduardo, But is it The Return of Arsenal?


A year ago, football fans saw a horrific tackle on our in form striker Eduardo da Silva, which many thought that was the killer-blow that eventually ended our title and of course, trophy challenge.

A year on, Eduardo finally made his comeback on Monday against Cardiff City in the FA Cup. That was truly a fairytale comeback by the Arsenal striker. He scored twice to lead Arsenal to a thumping 4-0 win over the Championship side.

The papers across UK has reported this on their backpage or frontpage. As an Arsenal fans, we were truly delighted with his performance and hope that he can carry on his superb performance towards the end of the season.

It has been a while since Arsenal won a match that convincing. But Cardiff City is a Championship side. No offence, Cardiff is a good side but compare to the Premier League, Cardiff are a much easier side to play against.

With the return of our Fox-in-boX, can arsenal make a late challenge of the Premier League title? In my opinion, NO. But i truly have confidence in Arsenal to finish at least forth. Btw, it will be a shame for Arsenal to miss out of the elusive Champions League spot.

Go Go Go Arsenal!!!
