Just Arsenal News

There have been thousands of Arsenal transfer rumours linking us with the Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic ever since the Potters snapped up Jack Butland in the January transfer window, opening the door for Begovic to move on to bigger and better things.

It was originally thought that both Chelsea and Man United may challenge Arsenal for the talented Bosnian shotstopper, but both of those have two top keepers at the club already, so it looks like Arsenal will now have a clear run for Begovic this summer. .......Read the full article here

To borrow a phrase from the retiring Alex Ferguson, it really is squeaky bum time for Arsenal. Tottenham got yet another result they barely deserved at Stoke today, which means that the Gunners are now sitting outside the Champions League places in fifth position.

Spurs now have 69 points, two more than Arsenal, so we absolutely must beat Wigan Athletic at the Emirates on Tuesday. It will definitely go to the last day of the season, whatever the result against Wigan. The Gunners have an away game at Newcastle, while their North East rivals Sunderland travel to White Hart Lane. Both of those teams could need a result to guarantee their Premier League safety, depending on how they do today and how Wigan do on Tuesday. .......Read the full article here

The current football season has been excruciating at times for Arsenal fans and it is showing no signs of getting easier. Despite the excellent run of form recently, with six wins from the last eight Premier League games, the Gunners still have the threat of finishing outside the top four looming large.

With ten man Chelsea coming from behind to win yesterday at Aston Villa, it is now down to Tottenham and Arsenal to fight it out over the remaining Champions League place. There is plenty to worry about for Arsenal fans, as a Spurs win at Stoke City today will leave us needing to beat Wigan at the Emirates on Tuesday and they will be flying high after their shock victory over Manchester City yesterday. .......Read the full article here

The ex-Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is not the most popular player amongst our exiles, and he is plotting to put the pressure on us by beating Stoke today. If Spurs win this afternoon then Arsenal will drop back down to fifth in the table and will need nothing less than a win against Wigan on Tuesday to regain the advantage.

Adebayor said yesterday: He said: “We sit one point behind Arsenal in fourth, so it is a good position for us.

“Now we’ve got two more games to go. Last year we finished in the top four so why not this year? .......Read the full article here

Sunderland and Stoke draw is good news for Arsenal by FD

This is a particularly unpredictable end of season at the bottom of the Premiership. Recent results have dragged teams who probably considered themselves out of danger only a few weeks ago back into relegation contention, and tonight’s share of the points between Sunderland and Stoke City didn’t help to make the situation any clearer.

But at least this result is in Arsenal’s favour, and is some consolation for the couple of results that didn’t go our way at the weekend. .......Read the full article here

Wenger deserves better by GP

I have been very critical of Arsene Wenger in recent seasons and I stick by what I have said in the past regarding team selection and signings. However I have never and will never try to take away what he has done for us as a club and what he has done for the development of players from every corner of the globe. No player has ever left us a worse player. That alone makes him a great in my opinion. .......Read the full article here

There has been many Arsenal rumours this season speculating that Arsene Wenger has been actively searching for a top goalkeeper to give some serious competition for the young Pole Wojciech Szczesny, and this view has been given even more credence since Wenger dropped Szczesny from the Gunners First XI.

Now today, the Mail is reporting that Arsenal have made an approach to Stoke City for the Bosnian international Asmir Begovic, who has recently been described as one of the horttest properties in the Premiership after some brilliant performances against the top teams in the division. .......Read the full article here

The Spurs collapse has finally started by KJ

On Sunday we saw the inevitable. Tottenham lost against Liverpool and there were talks of it being just a blip. Then they went on to lose against Inter Milan 4 – 1 at the San Siro and there was more talk of it being just a blip. Now Tottenham have managed to lose against Fulham who haven’t won at White Hart Lane for a very long time. The Tottenham collapse has truly started.

I know an article has already been published on the Tottenham game, but this is a more in depth and realistic look at the rest of the season’s fixtures to weigh up our renewed chances of finishing in the top 4 for the 16th season in a row. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger certainly has a goalkeeping dilemma on his hands at Arsenal. The two Polish keepers have great talent and potential but cannot seem to produce it consistently. Wenger has to decide whether he can get the best out of them or if he needs to sign a new keeper this summer. The Swansea and Holland stopper Michel Vorm is high on the list of potential targets, according to Metro. The 29-year old is proven in the Premier League and would be cheaper than Valdes from Barcelona, Begovic from Stoke or Reina from Liverpool. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal are looking for a new keeper, as Szczesny is still prone to too many mistakes, hopefully one with lots of experience and talent. There have been quite a few players linked with a summer move to the Emirates, such as Begovic from Stoke and Mignolet from Sunderland, but the biggest name linked with the Gunners has been Victor Valdes of Barcelona.

The Catalan club are still trying to persuade the 31-year old Spaniard to change his mind and renew his contract at the Nou Camp, but he seems determined to seek his fortune elsewhere after 11 seasons and 500 games with Barcelona. According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has been helping to facilitate the deal by speaking to Arsene Wenger and Valdes about the mutual benefits of the deal. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger knows that, whatever he says to his Arsenal players, minds will inevitably turn to the Champions league game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. That is why Wenger would rather be playing an FA cup game today than a Premier league game. The Prof feels that the knockout nature of cup competition is better at focusing the minds of the players, and keeping them on the job at hand.

“It’s less difficult if you play a cup game than if you play a championship game. .......Read the full article here

Theo Walcott is certainly enjoying his best season as an Arsenal player, and he has revealed that the whole team is in a great mood after coming through two tough games against Stoke and Sunderland. The belief and confidence is high and Theo is sure that the Gunners will ensure an amazing 16th year of qualification for the Champions league.

23-year old Walcott has already surpassed his previous best totals, with almost a third of the season left. His 18 goals and 12 assists make him Arsenal’s most dangerous attacking player and put him right up alongside the best players in the Premier league. Since renewing his contract, Walcott has bagged four goals in six games, although he is the first to acknowledge that Arsenal are all about the team. .......Read the full article here
