Hope you had a relaxing Bank holiday.
But the time for relaxing is over. Tuesday’s match is our biggest yet. It is the kind you live to play in, and I believe we will be ready. Mr. Wenger has us ready, and he is confident with our ability to compete and come out on [...]
Hello.
This is the biggest one of the year by far. We are headed to Old Trafford and have a huge test. We know how important away goals are, and it is already our style to play free and aggressive. On the other hand, if we don’t take care on the defensive side [...]
Hello.
Well it was certainly a great thing to see Arshevin net 4 against Liverpool. And certainly not so great to see them come back for the tie in stoppage time. Even with so many injuries to our defense, this was hard to see. So we will have to work together, every one [...]
It seems to me that we are coming together in a good way at just the right time. Even with a lot of our great defenders out we still managed to control the game against Villareal and move on to the Champions League semi-final, where we will meet ManU.
And of course we have Chelsea [...]
Hello.
These are big games. These are why we do what we do. Games with importance and tension. Games that matter. We are no longer fighting to stay in the top 4, we are playing for trophies.
Even though we have a scoring edge against Villareal, do not think we are playing safe or looking for [...]
Things are coming together. We’ve been playing improved for some weeks now, and it continues. The way Walcott can fight for possessions, Cesc with his ability to make plays others can’t – I feel that adding these things to a great defense will push us to the top.
Getting an away goal at Villareal [...]
Hello.
Well, that felt good. Good to be back on the pitch, good to have Cesc back out there too, and good to have him set me up for 2 goals against Man City. We got the 3 points and are in a solid 4th in the premier league right now. This is [...]
The unbeaten streak is over, but we are on to the quarterfinals and that is what matters. Going into penalties to settle it, that was close but my teammates did well in such a tight spot. In Roma. After a long match where we did not create much. But again Almunia [...]
Hello.
So it is a big one for us in Champions League on Wednesday. As you know we will be playing Roma at the Stadio Olimpico – a place we hope to revisit at the end of this tournament, and I know this will inspire us to focus and play to our potential. Even [...]
Hello.
We’re back and we’re on top. Two months of waiting for the knockouts is finally over. Even though I was not going to be on the pitch, I felt the excitement building for this one over the past weeks. We worked hard to get here, and the nil draws in Premier League had been frustrating [...]
Hello.
Believe it or not I read things people say about Arsenal in the press that is why you hear me more often than some others, trying to set the record straight about our chances and how we feel and some people over and over like to point out what they think are weaknesses for us. [...]
So some of you might know that last year I won the BBC African Footballer of the Year award. Well I just found out that I am nominated again this year which, to be honest, is such an honor because the fans vote on this one. So vote here and tell all the Arsenal fans [...]
Hello.
The win over Wigan was a big one for us. After the win at Chelsea we knew we had to stay focused and win the next one too, and that is what happened. It felt great to score for the first time since my injury, even if I let a few get away after that. [...]
Hello.
It is almost time for the announcement of the African Footballer of the Year award. Did you know I am nominated? Ha. So did I. To be recognized with strikers like Drogba and Zaki, and such amazing all-around talents as Essien and Aboutrika. All these men have such great vision [...]
It is so nice to get to write not about my ankle, not about what might happen in the future, but what just happened on Sunday. Of course I mean the win at the Bridge. And what a huge win, and a message sent. We were never all the way out but and [...]
I circled this week on my calendar when I hurt my ankle. At first I could not even stand on it, but the doctors and trainer said to let them care for it and rest it plenty and it would get better each day. And they were right. From when I wake up [...]
I hope you were all watching the Champions League match against Kiev. There is so much to be happy about right now after this result. First, and most important, Bendtner’s goal made certain that we are now on the way to the knockout stages. But for me, you know, it was perfect [...]
Hello again.
Well, you know, there have been some not so good things in the past few days. Not only the loss to Aston Villa, but the bigger loss of Theo for a while, with a shoulder injury.
But there have been some good things of late too – like the Wigan match. [...]
I am working hard to make it back for our match against Kiev on the 25th. And I see that Keane from Liverpool scored his first two goals in the league, and his joy makes me remember my first goal for Arsenal. I think my first goal back from this injury will make [...]
Just want to briefly say how proud I am of our team for the win Saturday.
It is early still but a great win for us and a great day for Nasri. What did you all think of that pass from Cesc? Can’t wait until he’s sending them my way again.
Manu
Hello it is Manu.
I am disappointed to tell you that I will not be playing against Fernabahce tonight. When we played Stoke, as you saw, I picked up an injury to my ankle. I will be having more tests, but I am sad to think that I will not be able to play for a [...]
Hello it is Manu.
You know, I am still a little shocked, about what happened last night. It is difficult to sleep after something like that. I think I watched the game on replay in my head, maybe 20 times. Especially the last 2 minutes. Whenever we play Tottenham it is a big game. No matter [...]
Hello, it is Emmanuel.
i hope you’re going to be watching our game against Fenerbahce tonight. We had a good training session today. The team focused on controlling the pace of the game and making sure we play our own style of football.
There has been a lot of talk about the fans in Istanbul and we [...]
Saturday was a good game for Arsenal and the fans. And also for me. To score is always a good thing, but to get a hatrick is special. I am glad the fans appreciated it.
If I think which goal stood out to me, it was my first goal. There were a lot of passes before [...]
Woezon honlonyewo. We say this in Togo, when welcoming new friends. There is no word for blog, but you understand.
I want to invite you to share my experience of playing in the UEFA Champions League.
It’s been a long journey to play at this level. When I started in Togo, my mother saved for months to [...]
