Morning all. I have copied this from Arsenal’s official website because funny enough, I know absolutely nothing about tonight’s opposition and their journey through this competition. Kairat Almaty’s squad is a blend of homegrown talent and a host of overseas players. In the Kazak league, the number of foreign players is restricted […]

There had been a fairly clear narrative all last week (mostly on Sky Sports) where it was obvious to me that Sky via its reporting and punditry were hoping, nay desperate, for a positive Manchester United result at the Emirates this weekend, coming hot on the heels of the United demolition of Manchester City a […]
Morning all. 2018 was the last time an Arsenal women’s team defeated Chelsea away from home. Yesterday, Renee Slegers and her players put an end to that eight year run with a fantastic 2-0 win. Goals from Beth Mead and Mariona Caldentey secured the points. New signing Smilla Holmberg had a 15 minute runout which […]
Morning all. When it became clear that Ethan Nwaneri was heading out on loan for the rest of the season, my heart sank. Why was Nuno Madueke playing ahead of him when he’s not exactly setting the Arsenal world alight ran through my mind. But then I’m a fan, not a coach or manager. […]
Morning all. I’m sure I’m not the only Arsenal who wants to see more of Viktor Gyokeres’ goal scoring celebration over the next four and a half months. There’s been a lot of negativity around him since the day he arrived at Arsenal. He’s too slow, he can’t hold the ball up […]
I switched on my television and there it was, Bodo Glimt 3-1 Man City and to be honest, Bodo looked well worth their win whereas City by comparison looked worn out. The fall off in recent games from the Eastlands Mob is quite astonishing. But it really is as easy as that to […]
Morning guys. Well, that was an interesting weekend of results wasn’t it? Man Utd beating their local rival City and then Everton shocking Aston Villa at Villa Park. I know we cocked up our own game but at least we added a point to the gap at the top. I know, it should be […]
I don’t normally watch other teams’ games live and certainly not our nearest rivals’ matches but yesterday at midday I put it on the TV in the hope that I would possibly see the Eastlands Mob drop a couple of points yet again. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that […]
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 […]
