Arsenal’s struggle under Mikel Arteta continue.

Morning all. Yes, Ben Godfrey should have been sent off for stamp on Takehiro Tomiyasu’s face alone but let’s not use that as excuse for being beaten. Everton had the ball in the net before we took the lead and after, but both were ruled offside, the second by the...

Star man missing as Arsenal face a struggling Everton.

Morning all. Arsenal’s women didn’t turn up at Wembley yesterday and were battered by Chelsea in what was last year’s FA Cup Final. 3-0 was the final score but it could so easily have been double that and by halftime. A bad day at the office that’s for sure. Arsenal...

Henry punditry does more harm than good.

Morning all. I love Thierry Henry for all he did for Arsenal football club. He’s probably one of the best players the Premier League has ever seen, the best Arsenal ever signed. But sometimes, I just wish he’d keep his opinions to himself because honestly, I think...

Arsenal are too nice.

Morning all. What can Mikel Arteta and Edu do about our lack of goals when the transfer window opens in January? Sign a striker, that’s the simple answer but who? Newsnow headlines lead us down the Dominic Calvert-Lewin v Ollie Watkins path. Calvert-Lewin has more...

Arsenal too negative.

Morning all. There are defeats which can be kind of accepted I think, or understood at least, but losing the game in the manner we did last night, really cheeses me off. To put it mildly! I thought we started really well, on the front foot and with it, put Man Utd...

Top four awaits on a night Arsenal can create history.

Morning all. Think of Old Trafford, think of Man Utd v Arsenal and immediately it’s easy to think it’s going to be a tough game. A game we’ll struggle to get something from. Yet, the BBC stats tell a different story. Head-to-head Manchester United could go seven...

Tavares, Tierney & Auba. RIP Ray Kennedy.

by | Wednesday, December 1, 2021 | Daily Bits and Bobs

Morning all. I was just a kid when Ray Kennedy arrived at Arsenal in 1968 but by the time he left us for Liverpool, he was certainly a name the world of football would never forget. A footballer both Arsenal and Liverpool fans would never forget. With Arsenal, he...

Is Rangnick to be feared as Klopp suggests?

by | Tuesday, November 30, 2021 | Daily Bits and Bobs

Morning all. I don’t understand all the fuss being made about Ralf Rangnick’s arrival at Manchester Utd. Actually, he hasn’t arrived yet as he has Visa issues so won’t be in the dugout on Thursday night. VfB Stuttgart U19 – Under 19...

Beware of the Saint, and the lateness of Joe Willock.

by | Saturday, November 27, 2021 | Daily Bits and Bobs

Morning all. Both Joe Willock and Issac Hayden return to The Emirates today and I’m sure they’ll both receive a warm welcome. I hope Willock’s late runs into the box don’t catch us out. I think this lunchtime fixture against Newcastle Utd is big. They seem to have...

Rotation is coming, positivity has already arrived.

Morning all. Apparently, Rio Ferdinand has been to London Conley for a day out. He chatted with staff, players, coaches of the academy, and the big man himself. Per Mertesacker. What about I’ve no idea but he liked what he saw. Impressive I think he said, as everyone...
