Morning all. Yesterday morning IFAB announced on that following an internal meeting, the temporary amendment to the rule regarding the number of substitutions during a match has been extended for at least another 19 months. Last season, Premier League clubs voted against its continuance in England but considering the Euros take place this summer, those […]

Morning all. The only thing sweeter than watching Utd’s de Gea missing a penalty in a Europa Cup Final would be Kane missing one. I still smile when I think of Scholes missing his in our FA Cup Final win back in 2005. Arsene Wenger was the master of FA Cup trophies, Unai Emery is […]
Morning all. Pre Christmas, Arsenal were serious relegation candidates. Then on Boxing Day, Arsenal produced an excellent performance to stun Chelsea. The media too. Remove the glaringly obvious errors made by officials pre and post Christmas and I’m convinced we’d have finished the season in one of the two main European Football spots. The loss […]
Morning all. With the season over and just player and staff movement on the agenda, there’s not going to much to talk about so posts won’t be as frequent. If any of you who read HH have a topic you’d like discussed on here, please feel free to email me. It doesn’t have to be […]
Morning all. Josh Kroenke was made welcome yesterday afternoon. About as welcome as a toffee would be for someone with toothache. There might only have been 10,000 fans inside The Emirates but the message was pretty clear, “Stan Kroenke Out”. Josh will no doubt have passed the message on to his father by now […]
Morning all. It would appear Steve Bould has been given the sack after a disappointing season for the under 23’s. There’s been no official announcement from the club as yet but if it’s true, perhaps Freddie will come back. Or perhaps Merts will will be keen on bringing an up and coming German coach into […]
Morning all. Sitting top on NewsNow this morning was a headline suggesting Arsenal are close to signing the ‘new Cristiano Ronaldo’ – and before you question my sanity, no, I didn’t feel the need to look further into the story. There is no new Ronaldo, or Messi, Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira etc etc etc because only […]
Morning all. When Unai Emery dropped Mesut Ozil, much criticism was directed his way. What was he thinking of leaving such a gifted footballer out of the team/squad. Along came Mikel Arteta and it wasn’t too long before he dropped Mesut Ozil from an even greater height by leaving him out of both Premier League […]
Morning all. Jeffrey Schlupp should have seen red for his potential leg breaking challenge on Callum Chambers. Christian Benteke should have seen red for slapping Elneny in a retaliation incident and Zaha should have been booked at least once for antics in the penalty area. Saka, who was thankfully offside, also made the most of […]
Morning all. Yesterday Mikel Arteta said in his press conference that the Arsenal players under contract will be at the club next season. A big fat white lie if ever I’ve heard one. What’s he supposed to say though? He’s certainly not going to tell the media that player x, y or z is leaving, […]
Morning all. Yesterday the football headlines relating to Arsenal were all about Sheffield Utd rejecting our opening offer for their midfielder Sander Berge. TransferMarket value him at around £17 million but according to a few NN headlines, the player has a ‘get out clause’ set at £35 million. Local newspaper Yorkshire Live reported yesterday that […]
Morning all. Ryan Bertrand is out of contract this summer and Arsenal are one of a number of clubs rumoured to be interested in signing him. Kieran Tierney, if fully fit and healthy, will always be Mikel Arteta’s first choice I’m sure. But, when/if he’s out injured, Arsenal don’t really have a proper replacement. Bukayo […]
