Morning all. What a great way to end the season. Five goals, including two for Granit Xhaka, a first for Jakub Kiwior and one each for Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. Xhaka should have had a hat-trick and the match ball by half-time but somehow, he totally cocked up...

Morning all. When a manager sits in front of the camera at the end of the season and says he could have done better, then it has to be admired I think. Mikel Arteta has done just that. Throughout a season, players are expected to be better, to do more and to not make...

Morning all. Hats off to Brighton who against the odds, have secured a place in next season’s Europa League. If Brighton fans felt cheesed off when Potter ditched them for Chelsea, they must now be so glad he did because Roberto De Zerbi has already achieved more than...

Morning all. Nine points from our last eight games. Nine points out of the twenty seven on offer. Since the moment Granit Xhaka had his spat with Alexander- Arnold, Mikel Arteta’s team, regardless of who played, has been all at sea. Barring the Newcastle game of...

Morning all. The penultimate fixture of the season is here, an away match against Nottingham Forest who are not yet 100% sure of Premier League survival. In other words, they need a win. I read that Forest brought in 29 new players this season which is staggering...

Morning all. Thanks for your support guys, it’s been a tough couple of weeks but as we all know, the world doesn’t stop just because you or I are hurting. Anyway, I’m back to bore you with with my moaning and waffle. I’ve seen a bit of Arsenal’s last couple of games...

Morning all. I just love a 94th minute goal when it’s against Man Utd to win the game. Eddie Nketiah’s winning goal earlier in the season against them was late but Brighton’s was later I think. The very fact the home team were awarded penalty was a miracle in itself...

Morning all. Regardless of Chelsea’s struggles and poor results, beating them was never a forgone conclusion, especially when one considers our recent wobbles. Mikel Arteta made a few changes to the starting lineup, resting Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey and Rob...

Morning all. If the way the Arsenal Women’s team were knocked out of the Champions League doesn’t pull on your heart strings, you must be made of stone. To even reach the semi-final was a miracle really as it seemed that as each week of this campaign passed, another...

Morning all. April is nearly done and hope our blip in what’s otherwise been a really good Premier League season, goes with it. Ordinarily, a point at Anfield would be a good result, but not this season, not when we were 2-0 up and cruising. The West Ham and...
