If you had put a football bet on around the turn of 2013 that Arsenal would finish in the top 4 of the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League for a 17th successive season, chances are you would have been laughed out of the betting shop (or online portal depending on where you bet). The fact they did it speaks wonders for the quality of the players and…

Why is Champions League so important to Arsenal?
Champions League?! You’re ‘avin a laugh! What does the champions league actually mean to Arsenal? Do the players see it as a successful achievement or do they feel it is maybe justified after a difficult campaign? The players themselves will have different opinions and I’m sure they’ll just want to play in the world’s biggest club football competition, however to the fans it means much more. It shows we are…
Can Arsenal win ANY trophy this season?
As it has become glaringly obvious that Arsenal are no match for the top three teams in the League, the question now is can the Gunners win a trophy by any other avenue (and No, Fourth Place is not a trophy Mr Wenger!). In fact there are few Arsenal fans that would even back the Gunners in any Premier League multiples when they face Spurs this week! According to the…
Wenger – Arsenal win a trophy every year!
It seems that Arsenal fans have been suffering from illusions when they keep reading that the Gunners have not won a trophy for the last seven years, because according to Mr. Wenger we have won one every single year that he has been in charge! We may have come to believe that holding up a big shiny Cup and a victory parade is proof that you have won something, but…
Arsenal must be good-Wenger mentions title!
Us Gooners may have got a little bit carried away after watching the whole Arsenal team put in a scintillating performance yesterday as we destroyed Southampton 6-1 at the Emirates. We are not alone it seems, as Arsene Wenger did what he hardly ever does and mentions our chances of winning the league. It must be a football manager thing, Jose Mourinho was doing it last year when Real Madrid…
Arsenal win a trophy! Will this persuade Van Persie to stay?
There were funny scenes at the Pie League Trophy awards in Brighton this week when Arsenal were voted as the club with the best pies in the Premiership. The fun started when Paul and Vicky Campbell, who run Piebury Corner (and who actually made the pies in question) went up to pick up the trophy, but found that the Arsenal caterers (Delaware North) had taken over! Paul Campbell said: “We…
Wenger – Arsenal still have the target to beat Spurs and finish Fourth
Arsene Wenger saw his Arsenal team get knocked out of the FA Cup by Sunderland this weekend, but he is adamant that their season is far from over as the main target is still alive; to finish in the Champions League places, which he considers as good as any trophy. “The first trophy is to finish in the top four,” Wenger said. “And that’s still possible. I believe finishing fourth…
Thierry Henry: Arsenal can win the FA Cup and still finish in Top Four – Just Believe!
Thierry Henry’s loan period back at Arsenal may be at an end, but the Gunners legend is still trying to galvanize the troops ahead of today’s FA Cup match against Sunderland. He is certain that Arsenal can still make a success of this season despite Wednesday’s 4-0 demolition by AC Milan. He was asked if he thought that the team could recover enough to still win a trophy, and he…
Ramsey – Arsenal’s youngsters can be successful for many years
Arsenal’s central midfielder Aaron Ramsey seems to think that once the Gunners manage to win their first trophy they’ll be able to win back to back trophies in the next seasons as well, and think that all Arsenal’s youngsters need is time to develop as a unit. “There’s plenty of young talent there and we have to bond even more and gel as a team throughout the years,” Ramsey told…
Arsenal still need a trophy to lose our “selling club” status
Patrice Evra once said that Arsenal are more like a training school rather than a football club. Players get trained and developed at Arsenal before moving on to ‘greener pastures’. Now, I am going to discuss if this statement is true or not. What Evra said is true to a certain extent. Players that left Arsenal made it big here at Ashburton Grove before moving on in search of money,…
