Arsene Wenger would accomplish the mission with same formation 1-5-4. Robin Van Persie would only be a striker who has already scored 15 goals in Premier League.

"We always try our best to overcome our weaknesses at the ground but we are not able to do our best. I don't know why but we are seriously lacking confidence. but we are determined and hope to get victory over our old rival Manchester United.

Although Alex has very good players we too have similar players to stop them from winning silverware. Alex Song and Wilshire would take mid field. Cesc would play in his position as attacking midfielder. Robin Van Persie would be supported by two side strikers Walcott and Samir Nasri.

Chicharito Hernandez is really a strong player and we must be really aware of him. Wayne Rooney is all the time dangerous striker and Djourou and Koscielny must stop them to prevent Arsenal from conceding any away goals."

The longest rivalry between two club managers Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson would come to an end in Sundays match. Arsenal hosing Barclay's Premier League 35th match at Emirates Stadium to Manchester United who is currently at 1st position of the league.

Alex Ferguson who has serving Manchester United since long time is confident bunch power supply to his players who had won FC Shalke 04 in UEFA Champions League by 0-2 in away match.

Injury Update on Thomas Vermeelan




Arsenal Center Defender Thomas Vermeelan was out since September 2010 in the match against Belgium due to Achilles injury. The 8 months gap was really annoying as Arsenal had series of up and downs during his absence. Indeed during his presence the club had progressed a lot and moreover the club had positioned to 1st for some weeks.

The 25 years old Arsenal star was more likely to be sidelined for the couple of week from the first team squad after his recovery on his Achilles injury but the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has decided that the Vermeelan would be playing for Arsenal in the match against Manchester United.




On Arsenal Online TV, Arsene Wenger had told,

"We dont have Abou Diaby but Thomas Vermeelan would be in the team starting 11 for the match against Manchester United. Thomas was out for 8 months due to Achilles injury but he has fully recovered from the injury and he had started his training before one and a half months and he fit and fine for the battle.

Thomas Vermeelan is a nice player. A enthusiastic player I have ever seen. He is good at set piece during free kick and corner. He will have his final fitness test on Saturday and I am determined for Thomas Vermeelan to put him on the match against Manchester United. He would be taking place of DJourou, the center right defensive position.

The Arsenal needs solid 3 points to be on the track for glory. The last chance for Arsenal.

Will Arsenal show some heroic magics in the end of the season?
Does presence of Thomas Vermeelan going to make any difference for the club?

Arsenal on the way to farewell assistant manager Pat Rice


Arsenal Assistant Manager Pat Rice will be leaving Arsenal after this season. The Arsenal Legend served Arsenal since 1984. Total 27 years in Arsenal, its really long time period for Arsenal Assistant Manager Pat Rice who has been with Arsenal in every happy ans sad moments.

Arsenal Assistant Manager Pat Rice would be leaving Arsenal after this season as he has desired to retire in upcoming season. Its an big opportunity for Arsenal to work with him.

Arsene Wenger has revealed the Arsenal legend players Gilles Grimandi and Steve Bould to serve the club as new Arsenal Assistant Managers. Both as defenders playing from Arsenal were Legend players with same age of 40.


Will there be any change for Arsenal under regime of new assistant managers Gilles Grimandi and Steve Bould. Arseanl would be in more pressure to leave experienced Assistant Manager in one hand but in other hand the new assistant managers may bring new tactics inside the club that may really be a significant moment for Arsenal.

From our side we would always hope betterment of the club and may the new comers bring the same recantation period of past years...

No Chance for Arsenal in Premier League




With yesterday's result against Bolton Wanderers it has proved that the Gunners are out of way to Glory. Arsenal lost with 2-1 at Reebok Stadium.

Robin Van Persie was the only player from Gunner to score at 47th minutes.

FA Cup is over, Carling Cup is over, UEFA Cup is over and now its Premier League.

Arsenal has faced the drought for cups for last 6 years and it has repeated this year too. What on the earth is happening for Gunners, all the board of directors and club members are responsible for the present situation.

The criticism Arsenal is holding since 2005 is really disgusting. Whats is wrong with Arsenal players. Every time they are about to win the game something happens at last distorting the real joy of the match.

Actually they have no team spirit. They have not showed spirit they used to have. Many times they took lead, they have lost them.

Lets recall some moments:

"Diaby getting red and Arsenal lost 4-0 lead and got equalize. The final score was 4-4."


"Robin van Persie got red card when he had hit the ball after the offside call was made. That was ridiculous.Arsenal was 1-1 that time. It means Arsenal was winning that moment. The silly decision by Referee changed the whole face of the game."


"Eboue got red card at the match against Liverpool even though the additional time was 8 and he got card in 101 minutes. What should we call this moment. Arsenal who took lead at 98 minute got equalize at 102 minutes."


"Koscielny also got yellow without committing any foul against New Castle player. Due to Referee misunderstanding Arsenal lost 4-0 lead."


Arsenal has no luck this time. Every time they intend to win something they are sidelined by some reason. We hope it does not continue next season.

Arsenal Linked with Pep Guardiola

Will Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger leave Arsenal?
Will Pep Guardiola join Arsenal next season?


Arsenal has not won a single cup for 6 years; not since the Arsenal came to Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger who has been managing Arsenal for 15 years is the longest serving manager in Arsenal history. Arsene Wenger who had joined Arsenal in 1996 was successful till 2005. Three times Premier league winner with 3 times best manager awarded in his life time has been out of winning track.



6 years trophy-less season is a long time to ensure a post for manager although he had showed some magic before by winning FA Cup and Premier League on same season. But the thing is Arsenal needs changes. Many other managers and football legends have been found saying about Arsene Wenger that he should change his tactics to be in the winning track or otherwise these trophy-less seasons would never stop.

With a recent news linked with Pep Guardiola, he has shown his interest on Arsenal. He has expanded his contract only to 2012 and is finding some English Clubs to rest. Arsenal could be his best option in the point of view from playing style and due to unsuccessful regime of Arsene Wenger in his past 6 years.

He would be the perfect manager for Arsenal after Arsene Wenger because since he has joined Barcelona in 2008 he has been a successful manager for Barcelona but he want to taste English Premier League.



In a press conference he had told that,
"I am happy at Barcelona but you know to be football manager in such big club for such long period would be not possible. Since 2008 the next season would be mine 4th consecutive season at Barcelona and I have extended my contract till 2012. I have already made my plan to leave Barcelona and sooner or later another manager would be handling Barcelona.

Ever since i made my plan to leave Barcelona I have been interested in Arsenal. We have almost same playing speed, tactics and almost same categorized players. I would really prefer some English Clubs after my contract is over here at Barcelona and Arsenal would always be my first choice."

Arsenal managing board would be looking forward for change in the club after this season as it has been confirmed that Arsenal would again face yet another trophy-less season this year too. Carling Cup lost against Birmingham, FA Cup Quarter Final lost against Manchester United, UEFA Championship Quarter Final lost against Barcelona and currently at 3rd position in Premier League with 9 points behind Manchester United has confirmed Arsenal would again end this season with no trophies to the home.

Match Review of Bolton Vs Arsenal

Bolton 1 - 2 Arsenal

Arsenal was broken down into pieces after a long 96 minutes play at Reebok Stadium with 2-1. Arsenal favorite in away games could not show their optimal performance at Reebok stadium yesterday.

With already 1 goals down, Arsenal keeper Szczesny saved penalty of Gary Cahill in 45 minutes just before Half-time and two shots from Lee Chung-yong. But the keeper could not do anything to save 2 goals from Bolton as both the goals were heading goals.

Robin Van Persie had however scored a goal for Gunner at 47th minutes of the match with assist form Fabregas. He has scored 7 consecutive goals in 7 consecutive matches making a new national record.

Wojciech Szczesny was the real man of the match for he had saved many goals from Bolton Players and especially the penalty shot from Gary Cahill in 46th minutes of the game but however he could not lift his team front.

With this lost at Reebok Stadium, Arsenal chance to track Manchester United has faded away. Not Until Manchester United slip up some points. Chelsea with the win against West Ham is following Manchester United however they are facing Tottenham next week.

Arsenal has to win this match to tack Manchester United and Chelsea. Chelsea is 3 points ahead of Arsenal with 5 goal difference whereas Manchester United is 9 points ahead of Arsenal with 9 gaol difference. Today Arsenal must win Bolton with massive goal difference so as to overcome last match levels.

For Arsenal Abou Diaby is not playing due his late injury and so do Thomas Rosicky. Arsenal would probable go 3-3-4 formation which has been the best formation for Arsenal.

Robin Van Persie and Theo Walcott are the two players which Arsenal are dependent today. Cesc Fabregas and Nasri may assist them for scoring goals.

Transfer Rumors for Arsenal linked with Jack Wilshire and Fabregas

"Jack Wilshire and Fabregas going nowhere according to the Boss"


Arsenal two midfielder jack Wilshire and Fabregas have repeatedly linked with transfers rumors. But the Boss, Arsene Wenger has confirmed that they two are not leaving Arsenal instead they may add contract this summer.

Arsenal skipper, Cesc Fabregas had been linked with Barcelona in numerous occasion but the club has not till given green signal to let Fabregas to play for Barcelona at Nou Camp. Cesc Fabregas has been playing for Barcelona when he was 6 and was committed to play for Barcelona through his entire life but after his arrival at Arsenal, he has been seriously endeavored to this club. He was in the gunners side when Arsenal had won the season without losing a single game. He was also a part of "The Invincible".


According to the interview taken at Arsenal TV online, Fabregas had told,
"I have been playing for Arsenal for more than 6 years and the club has been more than a home to me. Our Boss Arsene Wenger had picked me as a young footballer from Barcelona and trained me to increase my efficiency and today i am here in front of you as a Arsenal Captain. This club and our Boss have done so many things for me and its my duty to win Premier League and other titles for Arsenal. Although my name was linked with Barcelona I would go there so soon not before winning for Arsenal".

Jack Wilshire, one time PFA young player award of the season 2010/2011 winner is also linked with various football club lately. At present Manchester City is keen to watch Jack to play in their Jersey. Manchester City with new Club Manager Roberto Mancini would be happy if became successful to lure Jack Wilshire to his side but it would be his unfulfillable dream; not more than a wonderful nightmare.

Jack Wilshire especially after his loan transfer to other club has made him struggle for stating 11. He has been playing most of his game from the starting squad. With a commitment to uplift his football club, Jack Wilshire has always been a fantastic player for Arsenal.



In a press conference Jack Wilshire had told,"Are you kidding me. I am not going anywhere leaving Arsenal so soon. Arsenal has provided me a strength to fight against any difficulties and i would always be a happy person to serve Arsenal as a player."

We, all the Arsenal Fans adore all Arsenal players for they have committed so much for the club and at least we all shoud pay respect to them. We don't want any of the best players to leave the club. Although they have got their private life and right to choose clubs and the future, we want every Gunners play for Arsenal as a team. We don't want any players transfered to other clubs.

Match Preview of Bolton vs Arsenal



Arsenal with 64 points is in 3rd position in Premier League with 3 points behind Chelsea and 9 points behind Manchester United. Manchester United and Chelsea have both won their match against Everton and West Ham with 1-0 and 3-0 score line.

Arsenal had drew with Tottenham last Wednesday at White Hart Lane with score line 3-3. Theo Walcott, Van Persie and Samir Nasri had scored 3 goals for Gunners but was not enough to take a lead against Spurs last Wednesday.

Arsenal has total 5 games left for this season and still to face Manchester United in May 1. If Arsenal wins tomorrows match against Bolton, they could have last chance to track Manchester United as Manchester United has Arsenal and Chelsea on the way.

In this fierce race to hold Title of Premiership, Arsenal is in 3rd position with 1 game in hand from Manchester United and Chelsea. Arsenal must win with massive scoreline with at least 6 goals against Bolton to retain the position in 2nd.


Chelsea loaned player Daniel Sturridge is back in starting 11 for Bolton who was absent during the match against Stroke City during FA Cup Semi Final where they had lost the match with 5 goals to nil. So, presence of Chelsea player may create a big difference for Arsenal. In their last match against West Ham, Bolton had won with 3-0.

Arsenal with no fresh injuries has got talented players in the starting 11 but the time is against them. Last minute penalty in both Liverpool and Tottenham match was the deciding moment for Arsenal as they were about to win the game. Lets see what happens in the match against Bolton Wanderers.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Will Tottenham win Arsenal for second time this season?

Arsenal drew with Liverpool last Sunday with a last minute penalty given by referee. Dirt Kyut leveled up the score to 1-1.

Arsenal was 7 points behind Manchester United and if they had won that game the gap would have be lessen by 3 points and the gap would have been of only 4 points.

Arsene Wenger was out raged with anger for silly decision given out by referee. Same was the case between the game against Barcelona when Robin Van Persie was sent off by referee. Silly penalty decision given by referee for Koscielny in the match against New Castle when they had came back with 4 goals to level up with Arsenal.

It seems like everything is turning towards Arsenal, the injuries and suspensions and the referee. What can a old manager do if everything even fate is against Arsenal?

Its totally disgusting, and same thing could repeat at White hart Lane. The rival teams are always fierce in football when they face each other.It would be quite interesting to watch the game and especially referee for which side he gives decision. Arsenal in previous match had lost with Tottenham by 2-3 at Emirates.

Referee would be a decision maker for Arsenal and its hope. If same thing like on Sundays repeats, there is no chance for Arsenal even to finish in final 3.

Match Preview of Tottenham vs Arsenal

The London Rivals is facing for second time with each other with recent PFA player of the year awards striker Gareth Bale from Tottenham and the midfielder Jack Wilshire from Arsenal. Arsenal had lost for 2-3 scoreline at Emirates at last meetings. The Spurs had came back with 3 goals to change the score sheet from 2-0 to 2-3 at Emirates.


There would be a derby match against these two clubs as in past Arsenal had invaded Tottenham from Tottenham and had started ruling the city. Arsenal was an outsider and they defeated Tottenham in wars in several years ago. Can Arsenal again defeat Tottenham at White Hart Lane?


Arsene Wenger is running through frustrating games as they are loosing unnecessary points. After the match Arsene Wenger told,"The game against Liverpool was finished with the Robin Van Persie Penalty goal. Where on the earth came those extra 4 minutes?"

Arsenal hasn't lost a game after the lost at Emirates against Tottenham where as Tottenham has not lost a single game at White Hart Lane since last August 2010.

In last 6 matches Arsenal has gained 10 points with draw in last match against Liverpool by 1-1 in Premier League where as Tottenham has only gained 9 points with a lost against Blackpool at away match by 3-1.

Match at White Hart Lane would be an actual test for Arsenal as they are 6 points behind the Premier League 1st position holder Manchester United and just 2 points ahead of Chelsea. You can imagine at Arsenal, they are in real pressure.

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has returned from the injury and now they have got a full team squad without any fresh injured players. For Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny has returned from the bench who had started the starting 11 against the Liverpool this Sunday. Fabregas, Song, Laurent Koscielny, Diaby and Theo Walcott are all on the training ground and are more likely to pass the fitness test on Tuesday.

Real test for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas and Robbie Keane.
Who will be at glory? Arsenal or Tottenham.


26% of the IKTS (I Know The Score) has predicted the score line of 1-1. What do you think about the score? Will Arsenal again levels with Tottenham.

Players on focus
Robin Van Persie, the Arsenal Skipper has scored 13 goals in 13 appearance in English Premier league. He could be a dangerous player against Tottenham. In presence of Arsenal has won or leveled up by 80%. Presence of him may create many chances to goals.

Samir Nasri the Arsenal Midfielder and sometimes Left Winger has scored 9 goals in 24 appearances in English Premier League. Yet he has not scored a goal after his return from injury but he has assisted many goals for his mate in EPL after his return.

Jack WIlshire the PFA award winner for young player of the year is aggressive in nature while attacking. He has been more effective this season after he had made loan transfer. He has scored 1 goal so far in last 26 appearances.

Rafael Van der Vaart, the Midfielder for Spurs has scored 10 goals in 22 appearance in English Premier League. He could be a threatening player from Spurs to Arsenal.

Gareth Bale the Side defender has scored 7 goals in 26 appearance in English Premier League.The PFA Award winner is the most threatening player from Spurs. But he has been less effective after he has returned from his injury.

Match Review Of Arsenal vs Liverpool





Another Disappointing result at Emirates. Arsenal was to collect 3 valuable points from the Reds but they lacked serious chances. The game ended with a score 1-1 after both team got penalty on 97th and 101th minutes taken by Robin Van Persie for Arsenal and Dirt Kyut for Liverpool.

The First half was unimaginable as Arsenal was dominant in the game and they had 63% ball possession. There was no goal till 90th minutes so 8 minutes extra time was added where Fabregas was fouled in the penalty Area and Robin Van Persie take it brilliantly took the goal in 98th minutes. The referee had to blow the whistle as soon as the ball kick offed but i don't know what there because they played for 102 minutes that means 12 minutes extra time which was supposed to be only 8 minutes.

It was all against Arsenal. By this equalize Arsenal is 6 points behind Manchester United and the hope for titles is slowly fading out.

There was lot and lots of chance for Gunners but luck didn't favored Arsenal.
The next game is against Tottenham i.e an away game. Arsenal had lost in home ground Emirates Stadium at last kick off by 2-3.

Will Arsenal has still hope to gain Silverware?

It’s difficult to say [what their chances are]. We have a test today [Thursday], we have a big test to see how they survive the training session. That will be very important. Denilson and Song have a chance to be available as well.

I am not reluctant [to use Vermaelen] but he is not match fit yet. He just joined the team this week so we have to be a bit patient with him.

The next match for Manchester United is against Fulham who won their last match against Blackpool with 3 goals to nill. Manchester United too won the match against West Ham after they came back with Rooney's 3 goals and Hernandez 1 goal to beat West Ham who was leading by 2 goals to nill in first half.

Although Fabregas was on bench, he was still in the squad. The 90 minutes games totally in favor of Arsenal but they could not score a single goal to blue and white.

Theo Walcott who recovered from injury was keen to score more than 2 goals in this match did not played well. In the first half he was there to score an easy goal but the English player missed it. Same with the case of Jack Wilshire. Robin Van Persie assisted him to score a goal in the empty goalpost but the pace of the ball was too high and he couldn't react and misses a golden opportunity.

Bendtner who was substituted in second half played a normal game as he too missed a heading goal assisted by Samir Nasri. There was a deciding moment in the match at the stoppage time for Van Persie with an easy heading but he took over the bar.

Arsenal had plenty of chances playing against 10 men after 70 minutes but they couldn't catch the pace of the game and lead their team to a goal less draw.

Arsene Wenger was frustrated to see Arsenal Match because it was his favorite team squad and if they could not wave magic with such talent; they are surely gonna lose other match too. Fabregas the Arsenal captain was not playing in his optimum level and so did other players including the goalkeeper, Manuel Alumina. Arsenal truly required a goalkeeper. There was a chance for Blackburn to score against Arsenal due to his Mistake as he looked experience less goalkeeper.

With all these bitter things, Arsenal may or may not have chance to win the trophy. They really need their best to win the silverware. Its not what we think because anything can happen in football but Arsenal must really focus on the goalkeeping position to fill their deficit for the cups they lost this season.
