Listen to Spuds and they will tell you they pride themselves on having an English spine and are forever goading Gooners with their foreign legion jibes.

Well, how many Spurs players were playing for England last night? NONE!

That's right, NONE! A club who have sooooooooo much English talent and not one can get into the England team. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner Stephen Appiah looks like a typical Arsene Wenger transfer target. He is going to cost nothing as he is now a free agent and is therefore not restricted in any way by the closure of the transfer window. And he has been out of action for almost a year (since last October) so there is no significant competition from other "big" clubs, making Arsenal and the prospect of playing Click to continue reading...

My blood bleeds red and white, the same as the next Gooner's. I love the club and always will through the good times and the bad. True, I've found it hard to accept that the squad hasn't been strengthened but that is the situation and I'm gonna have to deal with it.

I want the club to do well so it deserves my support. Click to continue reading...

By 1970's Gooner Midfield inspiration is what was clearly lacking against Fulham and midfield inspiration is what we got against Twente in the Champions League in the form of Cesc Fabregas. The question is what will Arsenal do if and when Cesc is injured or unavailable in some other way. There is simply no one ready to replace his trickery, vision and creativity.

By 1970's Gooner Arsene Wenger's interest in signing another midfielder has been well documented and so has his desire to sign Turkish origin Swiss midfielder Gokhan Inler.

By 1970's Gooner Anthony Annan seems to possess all those characteristics that may make him a typical Arsene Wenger signing.

By 1970's Gooner Boro Primorac is considered to be Arsene's "real" right hand man as far as strategy and tactics are concerned.

By 1970's Gooner Eduardo's return to first team action has now been placed in October as he is not expected to start his pre season until September.
