Morning all. Not quite the Hakka but there’s little doubt Lacazette was making his thoughts clear. There is no room for racism in life and certainly not in football. To position himself where it did and to then go on and play a big part in our 4-0 victory...

Morning all. Firstly, a get well soon message to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who contracted malaria whilst on international duty. Secondly, what a performance and result by Arsenal last night. I do hope a 4-0 at a ground where no other club has won for the last eighteen...

Morning all. Mikel Arteta’s press conference was predicable I think. Has he signed and if not, when will he? It wasn’t that long ago the same questions were being asked about Bukayo Saka and whilst Arsenal fans fretted, the club remained confident he was staying. It’s...

Morning all. Arsenal are on the verge of announcing Folarin Balogun has committed his long term future to Arsenal. Personally I think this is great news but for the club, keeping him is crucial. Ok, he’s young, he’s raw but he’s definitely got talent. Loads of...

Morning all. I difficult to think beyond Thursday as the fixture in Prague is huge for Arsenal. A good old fashion ‘one nil to The Arsenal’ would be enough but Arsenal seldom win 1-0 and nor do they keep a clean sheet very often. Sunday was an exception rather than...

Morning all. Whilst I enjoyed watching Arsenal put three goals past Sheffield Utd, beating the bottom of the league team isn’t much to go over the top about. Three good goals they were but Arsenal need to be scoring against better teams with better defences for anyone...

Morning all. Bramall Lane, not a place where Arsenal have been overly successful over the years. In fact our record there has been pretty shabby. 1991? Well, it’s not like Sheffield Utd have been in the Premier League often is it? Last season was...

Morning all. If there’s one thing I really don’t understand about Mikel Arteta it’s his reluctance to go just that one step further with the younger players. Instead he persists with the ageing players or those who just aren’t returning the faith he puts in them....

Have you ever in good faith offered to help a friend out and then gradually regretted it? Well that was me yesterday evening, because with Rico not feeling too well with a migraine I offered gallantly to step into the breach to help out only to wonder what I’d let...

Morning all. Gary Neville, the man who failed in his one and only attempt at managing a football team has really torn into Arsenal, or rather half of the team who failed to impress against Liverpool. It looked like a group of players who weren’t comfortable,...

Morning all. Two positives today. The Arsenal women won 4-0 and Joe Willock came off the bench to score for Newcastle against the Toots, a goal to snatch a much needed point for his team. AMN seems to be fairing pretty well under Big Sam and he and his West Brom...

Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it? All the time Luiz played and made cockup after cockup, I wished Holding was playing. Then, because of an injury to our ageing Brazilian, Holding started and it wasn’t long before I wished our Brazilian had been fit....
