The confidence is really flowing through the Arsenal players at the minutes. Five wins in a row, with four of them in the Premier League, have put Arsenal into third place. A win at the Emirates against Everton tonight would be a fantastic result and would leave us four points ahead of Chelsea and Tottenham. It will also effectively end the Toffees’ chances of catching us. Although Chelsea and Spurs…

What can Arsenal do about the keeper problem?
Since Jens Lehmann’s departure, Arsenal have arguably never been able to find a top quality goalkeeper and just like our defence it’s an issue we’ve had for a while now. We’ve seen the likes of Almunia, Mannone and Fabianski go through the tests and all seem to have failed. Two years ago Wojiech Szczseny broke onto the scene and he looked to be the one who could be our next…
Internationals interfered with Arsenal momentum
During the break there was some good news, with Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna coming through 90 minutes in a behind the doors friendly against Chelsea. Olivier Giroud came on in the dying minutes for France in a World Cup qualifier against Spain and scored the equalizer, the Ox scored his debut goal for England against the hapless San Marino team, whilst Theo Walcott was almost cut in half by…
Can Arsenal still win the Premier League?
After a horrendous start to last season, with four defeats and sixteen goals conceded in the opening seven league games, this season started off so much better and with increased optimism. The arrival of Steve Bould has significantly improved the team’s defensive organization, with an impressive partnership developing between Vermaelen and Mertesacker. Ironically, Arsene Wenger’s decision to pair Vermaelen and Koscielny against Chelsea proved to be a costly mistake, with…

Arsenal injury update-Where is Chamakh?
It was reported last week that Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh was going to miss the African Cup of Nations qualifier for Morocco because he was suffering from Malaria.

He was not mentioned in the round up and update of players who are injured or ill this week on Arsenal.com but he was nowhere to be seen in…
Diaby is out injured- For how long?
Well it seems the honeymoon is over. Arsenal supporters will be dreading to hear that in form Diaby has been ruled out of France’s match tomorrow. The midfielder who had a match winning performance in his country’s opening World Cup qualifier against Finland has sustained a muscular problem.

A meeting has been taking place at the UEFA Headquarters between some of the top coaches and managers in the game in order to clarify the rule. The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was one of the coaches present at the meeting and has…
France taking no chances with Olivier Giroud
Arsenal’s French striker, Olivier Giroud will not play for France on Friday night against Finland. Speaking as to why the player would not be participating, French manager, Didier Deschamps said, “Maxime Gonalons will participate in the training. Olivier Giroud is a little too risky. We will make a separate practice which should enable him to participate in the next match. It is better, especially for him, he has a little…
Emmanuel Frimpong also close to Arsenal return – DENNNNNCHHHH!
Like a house of cards all falling together. Erm, but in a good way. That’s what Arsenal have on their hands. Okay, I’ll give you a hint of what I’m talking about- begins with Frim, ends in Pong. Was that too obvious? Anyways, Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is set to make his return to training in September. Its like it’s the medicinal miracle month for Arsenal players. After the good…
