Arsenal legend worried about Walcott and the Gunners

Posted on November 05, 2012 by Bob

Tony Adams spent his whole football career at Arsenal, and never4 dreamed of not signing a contract with the club, but he knows times have changed and fears that the Gunners have messed up by leaving it so long to persuade Theo Walcott to extend his deal.

Adams feels that the poor form that Arsenal are in this season will only make it less likely that Walcott will decide to stay at the Emirates. This would not have been an issue if the club had got him to sign a new contract after getting third place in the Premier league last season, and guaranteeing Champions league football.

“The big one at the moment is Theo, but what incentive has he got?

“I don’t think it helps that he got a hat-trick in the week and then he’s on the bench at the weekend.

“I’d like to see him up front, but I’d also like to see van Persie, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas still at the club.

“You can go back to the days of Ashley Cole going to Chelsea, so many have moved on and are doing jobs for great teams.

“You don’t let them go into the last year of their contracts. Chelsea didn’t do that with John Terry or Frank Lampard. When you have strong players, you put them on long contracts and look after them.”

Adams was captain of Arsenal for 14 years and only David O’Leary played more games for us. He won four league titles and three FA cups with the Gunners and it hurts him to see us struggling now.

Wenger has finally admitted that Theo can play as a central striker, but he may have left it too late. If Arsenal do not turn their form around soon, we could be seeing another star player joining one of our rivals.

Wenger not worried about Diaby (non)-injury

Posted on September 12, 2012 by admin

When news broke that Abou Diaby picked up an injury whilst away on international duty, the entire Arsenal media team broke down into a frenzy. One thing everyone failed to notice was that the word ‘injured’ was never used and for good reason too-he’s not.

The player was left out of the French side for their second World Cup qualifier due to an issue which was described as muscular discomfort. Subsequently France looked boring without Abou Diaby despite a 3-1 victory against Belarus last night.

None the less, Wenger has confirmed that the problem is not serious though and that Abou Diaby may even play in the Premier League match against Southampton at the Emirates on Saturday.

The Arsenal boss was confident to play down any hysteria regarding the player and stated, ‘He has a little pain in the hip satorius. It does not seem serious at all. He even has a small chance to play Saturday.’ Arsenal supporters will find this news as shining light, given the impressive start, the French international has had for the club.

If Diaby is not declared fit to play against Southampton he will certainly be 100% by the time the following Premier League match rolls along. The French international has been plagued by injury, only playing four games last season and missing out on Euro 2012. Arsenal fans will be hoping for a full season worth of football from Diaby in what would be a turn around given his injury woes.

Any Arsenal fans worried about Spurs this season? Peter Hill-Wood isn’t!

Posted on September 05, 2012 by admin

Peter Hill-Wood rubs salt on Tottenham’s wound by AM

Arsenal chairman has come out and said that Spurs are unlikely to pose any threat to Arsenal this season. Hill-Wood said – ‘I do not see Spurs posing a problem for us this season.

‘Their new manager may be a great success but they have to find a stadium.

‘That’s going to be very difficult. Finding a site and financing it is a major problem which we know all about.

‘We have a pretty good chance of challenging for the Premiership. I don’t see why we cannot win it this year.’

The above interview basically interprets into ‘they will remain in our shadows’. Last season Arsenal made an incredible comeback in the league after lagging behind Spurs in early part of the season. Last season was perhaps Spurs’ best chance to topple Arsenal as they had assembled their best team for some time now, while Arsenal’s was perhaps the weakest under Arsene Wenger’s day. But in the end Arsenal’s 3-2 victory over West Brom meant that the Gunners, once again, finished above Spurs. It was the 17th time in a row now that Arsenal have finished ahead of Tottenham in the league. So with a new manager and their best player Luka Modric leaving for Real Madrid, it looks like the Gooners will celebrate St. Totteringham’s day once again.

I’m not sure that we can actually challenge for the title, but I’d have a bet on Andre Villas-Boas getting the sack before Christmas!
