Arsenal are to open football training schools across India this summer to develop young footballers in India and give thousands of children across the country somewhere to learn and play safely away from the dangerous streets.
This move will be beneficial for Arsenal and India as the club can train young players and potentially sign them if they begin to show a real talent in the game. Indian children will now have a sport to play and have something to occupy their time.
There will be Arsenal trained coaches at these schools to help kids learn and play football the Arsenal way. Arsenal have several schools like this in Africa where they have brought some players over to England to train with the club and have a chance of going professional. .......Read the full article here

Is Fourth spot now the pinnacle of Arsenal’s ambition? by FD
As we approach the end of the season, the football media is predictably full of Arsenal rumours about impending summer transfers. We’ve all got our ideas about players we want to see at the club and many names have been bandied around.
But I notice that even die-hard Arsenal fans are holding back from including the top names on their wish lists. So we see players like Benteke and Villa cropping up regularly on these lists, but not, say, Falcao or Cavani. .......Read the full article here

I am sure that I am not the only Arsenal fan thinking that Chelsea might have struggled against Fulham last night. It was a local derby and Chelsea had played an energy sapping semi-final at Wembley on Sunday and a Europa League match on the Thursday night. Fulham had been in decent form as well, with just two defeats in the last nine games, but they rolled over and let Chelsea tickle their belly last night. I just hope they are in as accommodating a mood when Arsenal turn up at Craven Cottage on Saturday. .......Read the full article here

Is it time for Arsenal to sell Diaby? by Nitesh from JustArsenalFans.com
I know that this question has already been asked a lot of times. But from what I’ve seen, opinions are still divided on him, and a lot of fans haven’t been able to decide. So I want to ask one last time: Do Arsenal fans feel it is time to move on Diaby? .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger has come out in support of his Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, rejecting any suggestion that the 23-year old has become complacent since signing a lucrative new contract in July. There have been some people who think that Walcott’s failure to score since the end of January is a damning indication that he was just playing for his new deal earlier in the season, so is there any truth in it?
“I don’t believe that,” declared Wenger. “If he didn’t play well and had not signed a contract, then people would say the opposite. .......Read the full article here

He may not be the biggest name in the world of football, but Nicolas N’Koulou has attracted the interest of Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham with his performances for AS Monaco and Marseille. If Arsene Wenger is thinking of signing the central defender in the summer, he will have been encouraged to do so what N’koulou said this week.
“The club and me are together on my future. If they receive an offer they can’t refuse, then we will have to part company,” said the 23-year old. “Marseille is a great club and I love playing for them. They are part of my life.” .......Read the full article here

The Big Team Phobia by Chunners
I have a positive feeling about us making it into the top 4 this year. And with our recently found form, coupled with tough fixtures-lists for the other clubs, things seem bright. Anyway, is it possible that this season we could actually finish in the top 4 without winning any of our big matches in the league!?
We have lost both our matches against Chelsea, our one match against Man United, and drawn one and lost one against City. That is 1 point from 15! .......Read the full article here

It is looking increasingly likely that one of the summer transfer acquisitions for Arsenal will be the captain of Wales and Swansea City defender, Ashley Williams. The Gunners may not have things all their own way in the bid to sign him, however, because Liverpool are also very keen.
Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal chief scout, Steve Rowley, have been closely watching Williams, according to the Daily Mail, and his form and consistency have convinced Arsenal that he would be a great addition in the summer. The 28-year old has only missed one Premier League game all season and is now regarded as one of the best and most dependable central defenders around. It could be a real bonus to Arsenal that he is perfectly capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well, which has been a problem position for us for some time. .......Read the full article here

For the purposes of this article I will assume that Arsenal finish the season in the top four and qualify for the Champions League, because the Gunners will struggle to entice any top names to the club without that carrot to dangle. Arsene Wenger will have some decent money to spend, and the board insist that Arsenal will be able to compete with the likes of Chelsea and the Manchester clubs. A great way to show their intent would be to sign Luis Suarez. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger was the butt of lots of sniping comments from football journalists and rival fans when he said that he viewed getting Arsenal into the Champions League every season as like winning a trophy. I can understand why in a way, especially since the Gunners have not lifted a real piece of silverware since 2005, but the Champion’s League IS a massive prize and one that every team and player wants to be in.
Maybe us Gooners have become a bit blasé about it after Wenger has achieved it so many years in a row, but when you look at teams like the Spuds, Everton, Liverpool and those around Europe you can see just how important it is for players and fans alike, not to mention the financial rewards. .......Read the full article here

It feels like an age since Arsenal last played, even though it was only a week ago. I’m pretty sure that Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal players would have liked to play at the weekend to put the North London derby behind them, but the Everton game was postponed due to the FA cup. In the end, it turned out to be quite a successful weekend for Arsenal without them having to do anything, and might have just have given a little boost to team spirit ahead of the difficult second leg against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. .......Read the full article here

Not only do Arsenal need to get over the recent disappointments and produce a rousing end to the Premier League season, we need either Tottenham or Chelsea to drop points. Obviously it would be better if it was the Spuds, and their fixture list and lack of real depth in their squad suggests that they will not be able to continue the recent run of results. .......Read the full article here
