Morning all. According to The Mirror, Aubameyang and Lacazette are in a tussle for the number 10 shirt. Apparently our current number 9 wore that number at Lyon and wants it again now but imo, there’s only one player who deserves to be awarded the number worn by such...

Morning all. Even though I’m glad this Mesut Ozil saga is close to coming to an end, or at least it seems that way, I do wonder why things went so badly wrong for him and Arsenal. Footballers with his level of ability and skill are rare, footballers with his seeming...

Morning all. The positive, we didn’t lose and we didn’t concede, the negative, we didn’t win. To say the performance was a disappointment is an understatement. Having seen a buoyant Arsenal over recent weeks, the tired looking, crab like football returned and we can’t...

Morning all. The next two games are ‘crucial’ said Mikel Arteta. Probably because both are at home and his team need another six points. But not only that, we need to keep the confidence high and only winning will achieve that. Plus, our home results have been pretty...

Morning all. That was a bit of a huff, puff and eventually blow the Newcastle defence down. Two cracking goals won the tie in the end though. The first was about three things, Saka to start the move rolling, the strength and determination of Lacazette and the finest...

Morning all. Not one single player name on the injured list. Gabriel and Partey might lack match fitness but they’re back. Both might get minutes tonight, both might have to wait until Crystal Palace turn up at The Emirates for our next League fixture. No idea...

Morning all. What does a club do with £120 million bank loan? Lord only knows but they have taken one which ‘partially assist in managing the impact of the revenue losses attributable to the pandemic.’ Apparently it’s to be repaid by May 2021 so I’m not sure...

2021 I’m coming…🔥🚨 pic.twitter.com/nQhp1CEa2u — Balogun (@fbalogun67) January 4, 2021 Morning all. I’m probably in a minority but if Arsenal secure just one deal this month and it’s the Folarin Balogun, I’ll be pretty happy. Firstly it’d mean Klopp...

Morning all. Chris Sutton: Break Government guidelines, get caught, copy and paste an apology from your agent on social media, then carry on as normal. That is the way it seems to go. It did not sit right seeing Luka Milivojevic lead Crystal Palace out on Saturday...
