Morning all. Brighton & Hove Albion have in recent times, been quite an irritating thorn in Arsenal’s side and they didn’t disappoint yesterday. We also strangely seem to face the Seagulls at this time of the year on a regular basis, in fact, have you noticed how the same fixtures seem to turn up […]

Morning all. The Christmas festivities over for another year, Arsenal get back to business with a home fixture against a Brighton team which has gone through a bit of a rough patch. To be fair, so have Arsenal as far as performances go. Thankfully though, we’ve somehow managed to grind out positive results at the […]
Morning all. Hope your Christmas Day was as enjoyable as you hoped it would be. The weather couldn’t have been better for me as the sun shone and the sea breeze was refreshing. People who were out on the beach for the walk, were all in good spirits and I don’t think I’ve […]
Morning all. Well, have you or your significant other half got the brussel sprouts on boiling yet? I always think of Sir Terry Wogan when someone mentions the sprouts at Christmas because the very topic was a favourite of his. A running joke from early December which I probably heard every morning as […]
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. 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 […]
