Morning all. Just a short one this Boxing Day morning ahead of the first game for new head coach Mikel Arteta. Shame the match isn’t at The Emirates but we’ve already played that one against Bournemouth. We won 1-0 thanks to an early header from David Luiz off of a Pepe corner but the performance […]

Morning guys and gals. A little ‘funny’ for you all this morning which I stole off of the internet. My apologies in advance for the language… Christmas Dinner…. I have concluded that the inevitable stress of Christmas dinner is created by adverts, supermarkets and TV chefs. It’s a Sunday lunch for goodness sake!!! We do it […]
Morning all. It’s Christmas Eve, one more sleep and by the time you wake, the big fella will have done the one job he has to do all year. Deliver your gifts. The ideal job for Mesut Ozil….. Mikel Arteta has spoken to the media in his first pre match press conference and here’s […]
Morning all. The Premier League produced a couple of crackers yesterday. First up was Watford beating Man Utd followed by Chelsea battering Toots. I didn’t see the first fixture but apparently de Gea had a stinker, the second match though had everything. Good and bad. Chelsea were excellent I thought which proves that a big […]
Morning all. Not much to say about the game itself because if anyone was expecting us to play a very different game to the last few months then they’ll probably also be expecting Father Christmas to bring two central defenders, two left backs, a right back, central defensive midfielder and a partridge in a pear […]
Morning all. So that’s it then, done and dusted. Mikel Arteta is our head coach for the next three and a half years. Whilst the focus is bound to be around what the Spaniard will bring to Arsenal, the changes he’ll make, his philosophy etc etc, I just want to mention Raul Sanllehi and Edu […]
Morning all. Much has been made of the way Arsenal have gone about trying to entice Mikel Arteta away from Man City. All sorts of big words have been used to condemn our behaviour but I just can’t see Arsenal not doing things right. No official statement of complaint has been made by City, in […]
Morning all. I write this based on Mikel Arteta being appointed head coach at Arsenal which is widely expected to be confirmed over the next day or so. Of course, this is Arsenal so nothing is certain until it’s officially announced by the the club. I know, you’ve seen this already but I don’t care, […]
Morning all. A late night, early morning meeting, a quick jet set to the US of A and it seems Mikel Arteta is ready to fill the big vacant boots at Arsenal which Arsene Wenger left behind. Unai Emery tried but his feet were clearly too small and Freddie, well he was just keeping […]
Morning all. Losing to Man City, even at The Emirates is no sin. Not really when one considers the money they’ve invested in both players and their manager. However, the way in which we lost this one, and most other fixtures over the last few years is not only sad to see but a true […]
Morning all. The one thing we can pretty much guarantee today is plenty of goals. City’s injuries in defence has caused them all sorts of problems. For Arsenal, injuries haven’t helped either, but even if every player was fit, with our weak midfield, we’d still be vulnerable, especially against a top attacking side which City […]
Morning all. We didn’t lose. ✔️ We are through to the last 32. ✔️ We topped the group. ✔️ No Inter Milan, Ajax, Porto, RB Salzburg, Benfica etc. ✔️ We played really well. ✖️ Two great moments from young Saka. Firstly his cross for Lacazette to head home, secondly his goal. Both excellent. As was […]
