Morning all. Two years ago, Karl Hein joined Arsenal. (No, I didn’t know either) He was just 16 years old at the time but the Estonian national goalkeeper signed from FC Nomme United has since signed his first professional contract. His name has been in the press recently because in saying yes to Arsenal, he’d said […]

Morning all. Arsenal fans might not have liked what Troy Deeney once said about Arsenal and the lack of balls running through the squad but who at the time disagreed? I know I didn’t. Didn’t like hearing it, especially from that little s**t but he was right. We’d blown a 1-0 lead back in 2017, […]
Morning all. Watford outplayed us yesterday in every department barring goals scored. They had energy, desire, passion, heart. They didn’t give up on the very slim chance of Premier League survival they had before kickoff. Watford had nothing to lose. They were relegated barring a miracle so for ninety minutes they could afford to play […]
Morning all. Not sure what to make from Mikel Arteta’s comment above. Could he mean he’ll make changes, giving fringe players one more match before the season ends, some perhaps their final game in an Arsenal shirt. For Rob Holding, another run out before playing in next week’s final, or will Arteta be keen […]
Morning all. Something a bit different this morning. Arsenal by numbers as in, numbers one to eleven with the odd greats who opted against tradition. Long gone are the days of numbers on shirts meaning much whereas in years gone by, numbers 1-11 would kind of mean you’re a first team player, but not these […]
Morning all. What a weird old season this has been for football, especially Arsenal. The wait for Unai Emery to be replaced dragged on too long and then once it happened, it now feels like everything stopped. It didn’t of course because a few months passed before football and the world really, came to a […]
Morning all. A game to forget. Tired legs, not at the races, disinterested, call it what you like, but the result is the same. I’m not surprised after the week Arsenal have had. If I was a cynic, I’d say our players were about as interested in winning that game as I’d be in […]
Morning all. Another match tonight, our penultimate for the season as far as the league goes. I expect Aston Villa to make it tough for us because it’s do or die time for them. Arsenal can go a long way towards relegating them tonight by giving them a good hiding. Oddly enough, if Man City […]
Morning all. Still on cloud nine? Get off it because tomorrow it’s back to the League as Aston Villa await our arrival. Relegation looms large for the West Midlands club and I’d like to think Arsenal will do them no favours. With just two League fixtures left, and an FA Cup Final, the next part […]
Morning all. Pinch, punch… No, it’s not the first day of a new month. It’s the end of a week in which Arsenal have beaten the newly appointed League Champions and the runners up. Neither victory came with the kind of football one would associate with Arsenal. Not post George Graham anyway. Both were disciplined, […]
Morning all. Pep Guardiola says Mikel Arteta is “creating something unique” at Arsenal and feels the Gunners will challenge for trophies under the Spaniard. There is no better person to do the job than Mikel,” said Guardiola. “They have team spirit. Mikel has created.” Just what ‘unique’ will turn out to be only time will […]
