  Morning all. Dani Ceballos: 🔴⚪️💪⚽️Believe + Determination + Effort + Work + Team = Great victory!🙌🏻 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: “WTF didn’t even get the VAR on this one.” The second relating to Alexander-Arnold’s tackle on Bukayo Saka. It’s a question many in the footballing world would love answered by Mike Riley. Especially Eddie Nketiah who […]

Morning all. Bit of a rushed scribble today as things to be done. Liverpool fans to visit. I’m kidding, about the latter. Football fans were sure of two things before Arsenal kicked off against Liverpool at 8-15pm yesterday. The five substitute ruling will continue next season and the transfer window will open on the 27th […]

  Morning all. I doubt any Arsenal fan will be overly shocked to see Kieran Tierney pick up the June player of the month award. Nor Dani Ceballos being awarded goal of the month either. Two players who for different reasons, have had a mixed season yet here they are now, probably two of our […]

Morning all. As the burning embers of the north London Derby defeat turn into cold ash, perhaps it’s worth remembering what’s going on at Arsenal and what’s gone on. What’s gone on is frailty, the ability to switch the panic button quicker than Hector Bellerin used to be able to cover fifty yards, the  inability […]

Morning all. That kind of Mourinho style of football is nothing new. In some ways I suppose we should take it as a compliment because he knew that if his shoddy Toots team tried to have a go at us, we’d have been more of a threat. Instead, he did what he does best, suck […]

Morning all. I was listening to 5live yesterday lunchtime where a healthy debate was taking place over an article written in the Independent about when you know a manager’s past it. Ex players talked about tactics, concentrating on one aspect of the game and not the other and perhaps more importantly, how his or her […]

Morning all. Such a shame Alli isn’t playing tomorrow but a shame Arry Kane is. Son too for that matter purely because they both like a tumble in the box. VAR and Michael Oliver will be waiting. Waiting to make amends for the cockup against Bournemouth. Simple solution, don’t give them the opportunity to do […]

https://twitter.com/leemarkjudges/status/1280930562841219072?s=20   Morning all. I’ve posted the above link from Twitter because it proves just how inconsistent the officiating is in the Premier League and how VAR is only as good as the person behind it at the time. Burnley’s James Tarkowski was shown a yellow card and VAR saw no reason to to upgrade […]

Morning all. This was a bad night for Arsenal. We’ve lost Eddie for three of the remaining five fixtures, we dropped two points and we conceded a goal for the first time in years! No Champions League for Arsenal next season. Again! The defending for Vardy’s goal was poor and not even the offside flag […]

Morning all. October 2018 seems a lifetime ago now but in the world of football, it was only last season. Unai Emery was just a couple of months into his Arsenal career and Mesut Ozil was in the mood. This was last time Arsenal faced Leicester City at The Emirates in the League. The ‘new […]

Morning all. Question marks will continue to hover over the heads of a few Arsenal players for a few weeks yet. Until this summer transfer window closes, longer in certain cases. That’s we fans do isn’t it, we have our favourites for whatever reason and we have our ‘not good enough’ list too. If the […]

Morning all. Let’s get this little tidbit out the way. It comes from David Ornstein via Daily Cannon. Matteo Guendouzi, I think it looks like his time at Arsenal is coming to an end. Arsenal are offering him in exchange for players they might like to come in, in swap deals. If they as a […]
