Morning all. So that’s it then, another season gone by without winning anything which is disappointing but always likely perhaps. The difference between Arsenal and PSG last was in front of goal. They took their opportunities whereas we didn’t. Had we done so, the tie would have been turned on its head […]

Morning all. Last nights Champions League semi-final second leg between Inter Milan and Barcelona served up a treat for anyone who loves the game. Other than Barcelona fans of course. Both ties have been entertaining and going into the game, honours were even. Inter went 2-0 up, Barcelona fought back to 3-2 with a […]
Morning all. Regression – not for the first time post Christmas I’ve read regression and Arsenal in the same sentence. Is it justified though, have Arsenal regressed this season? The season before last, having been in a strong position to win the league, we sleepwalked through the final few weeks of the campaign to […]
Morning all. If Mikel Arteta achieved anything yesterday it was knackering his players who were already knackered. I know we’ve had injuries and we’ve played a few games with ten men etc, but even so, I’m pretty sure he could have rotated his players better than he has again this season. If […]
Morning all. The penultimate home fixture of the season takes place tonight with Bournemouth heading to town for an early evening kickoff. The south coast club are still in with a chance, albeit slim, of qualifying for Europe but to achieve that, they probably need to win all four of their remaining […]
Morning all. Well that was a bit of a goal fest at the Nou Camp last night. The game between Barcelona and Inter Milan ended 3-3 with the home team recovering from 2-0 down. Admittedly, I didn’t watch all of the game but should we perform a miracle in France next week, either […]
Morning all. Not much to say about last night’s match other than PSG were better than us. They moved the ball around quickly, defended really well and took one of their number of scoring opportunities when it came. To end losing by just one goal was fortunate in my opinion. David Raya made […]
Morning all. Well it’s finally here, the first leg of our Champions League semi-final clash with PSG. PSG’s journey came via the playoffs having failed to qualify for the knockout stage automatically. They despatched Brest 10-0 over the two fixtures. In March, their first knockout round ended 1-1 against Liverpool with penalties needed to […]
Morning all. Well that was a fine performance by Renée Slegers Arsenal yesterday evening in the Groupama Stadium, Lyon. Arsenal struggled to get going in the home tie last weekend but yesterday, they hit the ground running. Trailing 2-1, they needed an early goal and they got one. Or rather Lyon […]
Morning all. Football sprung another couple of surprises this weekend. PSG were beaten 3-1 at home by Nice on Friday night and yesterday, Crystal Palace absolutely thumped Aston Villa. The result ended 3-0 and that’s including a missed penalty. I watched the game and thoroughly enjoyed watching Emi Martinez concede goals. A great […]
Morning all. Mustering up something about Arsenal is a bit tricky now. The domestic season is all but over with Liverpool expected to be crowned lucky winners of the Premier League title this weekend when in all likelihood, they will batter a dreadful Totts team. The media are desperate to make the race […]
Morning all. Last night’s draw against Crystal Palace was Arsenal’s 13th draw of the season, 6 of which have been at The Emirates. Apart from the goalless draw against Everton, we’d been ahead in all of the drawn games. Add in the defeat to West Ham and it’s clear to see why the […]
