Morning all. Must be great being Pep Guardiola at Man City. Injuries, no problem, just go and buy more players. Imagine if it was any other club with 115 charges hanging over them, many I believe are to do with finances, they’d have been dealt with by now and no doubt received a deduction of […]

The Football League Cup has been the ugly duckling for as long as I can remember, even more so since the growth in the Premier League and the expanded Champions League, which dwarf it more now than at any time in the past and to such a degree that most newer fans, particularly from […]
Morning all. The FA Cup draw did Arsenal a favour on Monday night by bringing out a home tie. Then, out of the pot came Wigan Athletic. The last time we faced Wigan in this competition was back in 2014 when a penalty shootout decided the result at the DW Stadium. We went […]
Morning all. Gabriel Martinelli had spent the last few days being treated as if he was some kind of dastardly criminal by the usual suspects, you know the low-grade TV pundits whose ‘unblemished records’ gave them the freedom and latitude to attack Gabby for his singular error of judgement in the Liverpool game and […]
Morning all. Well, the FA Cup certainly threw out a few unexpected results yesterday. Macclesfield knocking out the current holders was not something any football fan would have seen coming let alone Crystal Palace fans. Newcastle Utd, Sunderland and Aston Villa won the other three Premier League club clashes against Bournemouth, Everton and Totts respectively. […]
Morning all. The good news kept on coming yesterday from Arsenal Football Club. First up, Renee Slegers signed up to a deal which will keep her at the club until 2029. Then came the news that Jodie Taylor, once an Arsenal player herself, had been promoted from Technical Services Manager to Technical Director. Having led […]
It seems like only yesterday that the dreaded Etihad Cartel were sitting there, poised and only two points behind the Gunners with all and sundry in the media suggesting that the Arsenal were about to ‘bottle’ it again as they stared nervously down the barrel and into their review mirror at the oil ogre chasing […]
Morning all. There’s something about football stadiums at night. For Arsenal fans, is there a better sight than The Emirates Stadium lit up in all its glory? I’d love to be inside the stadium tonight because I think the atmosphere is going to be electric. The reigning League Champions against a club which hopes, […]
Morning all. I hope you are all keeping safe and warm during this cold snap. After a few days of blue skies and sunshine, the clouds have landed so it looks like we might get a few flakes of snow before the day is out. I keep being told that the Isle of Wight […]
Morning all. Well that wasn’t a bad weekend for Arsenal was it? Utd – 1 point gained. Liverpool – 2 points dropped. Totts – 2 points dropped. Chelsea – 1 point gained. Man City – 2 points dropped. Arsenal – 3 points won against a very good Bournemouth and a club which beat us […]
Morning all. The period over Christmas and the New Year saw opinions and results fluctuate but maybe not as wildly as many in the media expected or wanted. All the same, the end result of all the jaw jaw was some very encouraging results for us and disappointment for everyone else – and […]
Morning all. It’s hard to believe that back in February 2008, Bournemouth were forced into administration, suffering a ten-point deduction. The club almost went out business and were relegated to Division Two. Eddie Howe stepped into management with the club and despite a lot of problems off the pitch, took the club […]
