Is Stan the Man?

Stan Kroenke is poised to take full ownership of Arsenal Football Club, will this disrupt Arsenal? Or will it help them push on to the next level?

This morning, long time share holder Stan Kroenke increased his overall share holding in Arsenal to just 62.89 percent, he appears to have won the backing of Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith and Danny Fiszman in what has been a highly anticipated takeover. For a long time now American Kroenke and Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov have both been seen as the two men that would takeover Arsenal if such a thing were to happen, this morning much to the delight of many Arsenal fans, it was the American that has made the first move, seemingly beating Usmanov to become the sole owner of Arsenal Football Club.

Time for Change

As Arsenal's trophy drought is looking likely to go on, does Wenger need to make big changes to bring success back to the North London club?

After this weekend’s set of results, it looks like Manchester United will indeed be adding to their 18 league titles making them, arguably, the best team in English footballing history. Whilst a certain Sir Alex Ferguson looks like he’ll be adding at least one more trophy to his astonishing collection this season, it appears Arsene Wenger may have to wait at least another year to add to his.

It’s Just a Case of Deja Vu

It’s that time of year again, we’re entering the final stages of the season and Sir Alex is in the thick of another title tussle.

Going into the final stages of the season, Sir Alex Ferguson is in a very familiar position; he’s fighting on three fronts in an attempt to add to his impressive collection of trophies. Manchester United are in pole position to win the Barclays Premier League, they’ve got a semi final tie in the FA Cup against arch-rivals Manchester City and they have a Champions League tie with reigning Premier League champions Chelsea. The most significant part of this potential trophy haul is that if Manchester United were to win the league, they’ll have been the champions of England more times than any other club, they’re currently level on 18 a piece with the old enemy Liverpool Football Club.

Can Theo Van Nasregas save Arsenal's Season?

It’s crunch time for Arsene’s key players, will they end the season as Champs or Chumps?

Is it just me or are you glad that the international week is over and we can get back to the business of domestic football? The international break did nothing more than interrupt one of the most promising climaxes to the end of a season in the Barclay’s Premier League in recent years. Think about it, there are still three teams in Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea who can still win the league. Three teams tussling for that final Champions League qualifying place, Manchester City, Tottenham and after resurgence under one ‘King Kenny’, Liverpool too. And when you look at it, pretty much everyone else could get relegated, the likes of Bolton and Everton who are 7th and 8th respectively are 8 points off the drop zone, if they were to hit a bad run of form, they could be dragged right into a relegation dogfight like the Premier League has never seen.
