Arsenal's Arsene Wenger was under no illusions about the importance of the 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday. The Gunners went 1-0 down to a Johan Djourou own-goal but two quick-fire strikes from Robin van Persie in the second-half turned the match on its head, writes Stewart Coggin.

The 2008/2009 Premiership season has, so far, been an unhappy one for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.

Ahead of the international fixtures, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has heaped a big pile of praise towards his back up defender Johan Djourou. Wenger believes it won't be long before Djourou stakes a claim for the first team:"Johan Djourou is not comparable to the player he was six months ago."He has gained in personality, in determination and in quality. I spoke with the Swiss national team coach
If I had to single out the one quality above all others which I admire in [him] it would be his abiding faith in youth.
The words from forty years ago resonate down the ages. In his 1969 book Arsenal From The Heart, former Club Secretary Bob Wall was talking about Sir Matt Busby. No doubt [...]
Morning all, I was dreaming about this game last night. United were given a very generous penalty which Ronaldo, wearing United's neon pink away strip, hammered into the top corner. The Arsenal penalty area was covered in leaves which I'm sure is symbolic in some way. Or it could just be that there were a lot of leaves. I went into my kitchen and broke my radio. Then I woke up.

I was initially quite impressed after the stoke game that Wenger admitted that Stoke deserved to win.
On Monday, AW said that “I don’t approve or disapprove [of Stoke’s tactics]. They played the game they wanted and they played it very well. At the end of the day, they could express their strong points and we could not.”
Even then, that was tempered with a highly dubious excuse: "
Arsene Wenger OBE (born October 22, 1949 in Strasbourg) is a French football manager, in charge of Arsenal Football Club since 1996. He is the most successful manager in the history of Arsenal in terms of trophies, but he is also the club's longest-serving manager in terms of matches played (681 as of the start of the 2008/09 season). Wenger is the only non-British manager to win the Double in Eng
Do you know one thing that makes me more angry than the Aids epidemic in Africa, the plight of the Patagonian toothfish, the collapse of world economics and Darren Anderton? Its the idea that Arsene Wenger is still the f8cking manager of Arsenal football club.

Michel Platini has admitted to going over the top with his abrasive attack on the Arsenal manager, but still stood by his original argument:"I have been too harsh on Arsene. I have been told off by my father who set him on his way at Nancy.""When I talk about business what I am talking about is recruiting players when they are 13 or 14. I can't stand it."Doesn't every club do that? How else does a

William Gallas salvaged a draw for Arsenal with a last-gasp goal in their Champions League opener at Dynamo Kiev. Gallas poked in from point-blank range at the far post after a low cross from man-of-the-moment Theo Walcott.

Wenger could now be set to make one big last effort to sign Udinese midfielder Inler before the end of the transfer window on September 1.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he will study his options of bringing in a central midfielder with extra consideration as almost every midfielder linked is now cup tied for European football to some extent. "It is a concern and something I will consider," said Wenger. "I feel the player loses value if he is not eligible for the Champions League. "You cannot sell a player at the same price.
A result in itself tells you little about a game. We won 2-0 and by all accounts were not the better team. Liverpool drew 0-0 against Liege and by all accounts were both lucky and God Awful. But whose prospects look brighter after this first big test? My gut feeling is that Liverpool blogs are probably a happier place to be this morning.
Our performance last night was professional, and was a
It looks increasingly likely that AW is going to back Denilson to partner Cesc in midfield against FC Twente on Wednesday. With Diaby out injured and Song at the Olympics, the only other choices for the central role would seem to be Eboue or Ramsey, judging by AW's pre-season selections.
The consensus is that the Cesc/Denilson pairing is not likely to work as they are too similar in their
Arsenal have invited Ghanian international midfielder Anthony Annan for a trial and is reportedly ready to stump up £1.5m for his services.

The returns of Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo are in a “positive” situation according to Arsène Wenger. Although the Croatian striker has had the nastier injury — a fractured leg and open dislocation to his ankle suffered at Birmingham in late February — the Czech midfielder’s hamstring problem has kept him sidelined for longer. Rosicky was last seen in an Arsenal shirt when he limped off af
During the post match press conference following Arsenal's 1-0 defeat today at the hands of Juve Arsene Wenger was in good spirits and took on the more than demanding media.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger still believes he needs an experienced midfielder to add to his ranks, and when asked about Gareth Barry possibly being that man, the manager was not in the mood to speculate:“I don’t think that the best tactic is to come out with names.”“If we can do one more signing we will do it,” said Wenger. “But it will need to be quality. “We don’t need money to bu

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has challenged 30-goal leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor to improve next season - and warned the Togo striker against ending up a "nobody" through complacency. The big African, 24, has this season gone some way to filling the boots of legendary forward Thierry Henry, who hit the personal milestone for five seasons in a row from 2001/02. However, despite finding the net for an impressive streak of nine consecutive games earlier in the campaign, Adebayor lost his magic touch as the Gunners bid for Barclays Premier League and European glory faded. Wenger is in no doubt there is more to come from the frontman, but only if his strict "work ethic" continues. "Emmanuel took his tally to 30 for the season with a hat-trick at Derby, but there is some room for him to
