Morning all. To the many young and cosmopolitan Arsenal fans from around the world and even in the U.K. itself, the League Cup has become an archaic relic of English football. It hailed from a time long before the all encompassing and sexy Premier League and Champions League, they are now everything, the League […]
Morning all. Tis the night before Christmas Eve. Arsenal face Crystal Palace in the League Cup quarter final, a chance to win a big trophy just two games away. Yes, I’d love for Mikel Arteta to lead Arsenal to Wembley, lifting a trophy at the end of February but I also hope he can […]

Morning all. I used to enjoy visiting Goodson Park, it was a proper old fashioned English football stadium and it reminded me of our beloved and much missed Highbury. I would get the coach up from Islington early in the morning, pick up a few fans on the way and eventually roll into […]
Morning all. Today is the six-year anniversary of Mikel Arteta’s appointment as Arsenal manager and what a fixture to have. A trip to Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium where he’ll be up against one of his old managers in David Moyes. From Everton to Man Utd, onto winning the Europa Conference League Cup before […]
Morning all. I think Hincapie’s jumper is the one I’d choose if I absolutely had to have one. Neither are my cup of tea but William Saliba’s is too loud. Saying that, I’m pretty sure I’ve only ever owned one Christmas jumper in my life and that was red with a few subtle gold […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta wasn’t happy with his players performance on Saturday night and he didn’t hold back during his post match press conference. On the mood in the dressing room: It was a relief, but a very clear understanding that the margin should have been bigger. After not being precise enough in the […]
Morning all. The welcome midweek victory for Arsenal in Belgium helped us a lot to forget that last minute heartbreaking defeat in Birmingham. But in truth the real business was yesterday at the Emirates where the Gunners got back on the saddle again with the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers. I’d heard and seen some […]
Morning all. Listening to Mikel Arteta giving an update on players fitness during his press conferences reminds me of when I very young. Each afternoon I’d come in from school, primary school I hasten to add, feeling peckish and I’d ask my mum or dad what was for tea and the reply I always […]
Morning all. First up, in no way, shape or form do I feel sorry for what Liverpool are going through, however, following Mo Salah’s comments about being thrown under the bus by his club, it made me think whether or not it’s right for players to speak to the media when they feel hard […]
Morning all. The painful conclusion to that chaotic game in Birmingham last weekend opened up all those old nagging concerns we have as Arsenal supporters, brought about by three years of heartbreaking near misses. On top of that, of course, fanning the flames was the usual suspects on line laughing at our expense, but […]
Morning all. The main talking points from Mikel Arteta’s press conference yesterday was Gabriel Jesus being added to the Champions League squad in place of Max Dowman who has been ruled out of the game for four weeks due to injury. Declan Rice, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard are missing for tonight too. Declan […]
