What does it say about Arsenal when their reserve team last night beat Sheffield United 6-0 in the Carling Cup? Maybe the tournament should be renamed the Arsenal Youngsters Cup? Here are some of the impressive young starlets who played last night: Kieran Gibbs. Midfielder, 18 years old, only made his second appearance for Arsenal last night. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger named his youngest ever team for Tuesday evening's third round Carling Cup clash with Championship side Sheffield United. Wales Under-21 midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 16-year-old Jack Wilshere, reserve team captain Gavin Hoyte, Kieran Gibbs and Mark Randall all started, while first-year scholar Emmanuel Frimpong, also 16, and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, 17, were on [.

Another weekend saw another good result. Hard to find a lot of things to complain about after taking down Blackburn, thanks to Theo, Adebayor, and RvP - among others. Nice to see Walcott remain fairly grounded after his hat trick against Croatia. His mazy run set up van Persie's goal, while Adebayor netted a treble.

Promising Arsenal youngster Kieran Gibbs reckons he can learn a lot about the new skills he will need as a full back from Gael Clichy. The 19-year-old has been switched from pacy winger to marauding full back at the Emirates this season. And the Lambeth-born ace - who signed a new long-term deal with the club last [.

Hello all. I'm still alive if anyone was wondering, I just haven't had a good chance to write in ages. Since I last posted we won 3-0 against Newcastle which was a great result, and the transfer window closed last night. I waited up watching the news tickers on and off all day hoping for Xabi Alonso, or anyone else for that matter, and it just never happened. Click to continue reading...

The transfer window has now come and gone. And to a bit of surprise, Wenger signed no one, although reports indicate he did make an effort to go after Xabi Alonso. In fact, the biggest signings for us yesterday were the youngsters Kieran Gibbs and Mark Randall agreeing to contract extensions.

The Alonso signing would be hard to pull off, because Rafa Benitez would be a bit off his rocker to agree a transfer fee to a direct rival without getting much more than the player is actually worth.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new deal for Adebayor.

Arsenal confirmed that the striker has signed a new long term contract - and obviously someone running the website has a sense of humour because the picture they used couldn't possibly have been any better.

Reading are interested in taking Kieran Gibbs on a season long loan.  Such a move would be very beneficial for Gibbs who will get valuable first team experience at Reading playing at either left-back or on the left side of midfield. "It is important we get the right person in. Gibbs is the sort of player [. Click to continue reading...

  Arsenal played a very youthful side tonight against Spanish opposition Sevilla, with the likes of Mark Randall, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Jay-Emmanuel Thomas all under 19 all starting. Arsenal battled for a point, after taking the lead from a goal from Mexican whizzkid Carlos Vela. Click to continue reading...

The first pre-season game is in the bag. I caught the 10-minute highlights on Arsenal TV Online; recommended for all Gooners.

The first goal came form Jay Simpson, with the kind of finish you'd expect from a 20-goal striker. The Londoner Simpson then had the assist for the second goal to Nacer Barazite, whose finish was right off the top shelf. Click to continue reading...

Theo Walcott has started in the last two first team games and been very disapointing. He may have got the equaliser against Spurs but with the luck he got from this I think Francis Jeffers would have produced the same end result. His shot was off target and only the ricochet saw it roll over the line.
