Afternoon all. A lot of fuss is being made of the spat between Sterling and the bloke from Liverpool which apparently spilled over from Anfield into the England dressing room. I’m not entirely sure Southgate was right to drop Sterling because of it because all he’s done is stoke a simmering fire which the England […]

Morning all. The international break is a pain but for once it might have come at a good time for Arsenal. Certainly the players as it’s their chance to get away from what has been a tough time for the club. Not all I know as a number of them remain in London to suffer […]
Morning all. Kev and and I have mustered this one up.. If changing managers was a simple task, then Arsenal would have done it by now, as would Man Utd, but it’s a case of sip it and see when an icon manager leaves the stage and a club is trying to keep the train […]
Morning all. The pressure is on, Unai Emery needed a win and as other tinkering had failed to pay off, he tried something different again. Rob Holding, Calum Chambers and David Luiz with Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac in defence – Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi in midfield with Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and […]
Morning all. Another day, another away match but perhaps it won’t be another defeat. Unlikely I know as Leicester are a team in fine form. Brendan Rogers has stormed into the club and turned their fortunes around in pretty quick time. Their big money earning departure in the summer looks like being a smart move. […]
Morning all. Is Unai Emery was the right man to turn things around? Kieran Tierney says he is: “Yes, of course. It is up to us as players to correct it on the pitch. For me, he (Emery) has been brilliant since I’ve come in. I have learned a lot. I am learning a lot every […]
Morning all. Do you remember the good old days of vinyl? My parents had loads of records, my siblings and I did too but some of the really old one, the 33 1/3 rpm mainly had a scratch here and there. We’d be sat listening, well behaved of course, and the needle would get […]
Morning all. So now we know, Granit Xhaka is no longer the club captain. No surprise because any player who throws his shirt to the ground along with the captains armband after being substituted, deserves a second chance. Regardless of what went on beforehand, the shirt on his back represents the club. He disrespected the […]
Morning all. I can’t keep up with the Unai Emery rumours. From he could go if Leicester beat us, or Vitoria tomorrow afternoon, to, he’ll see the season out but there’ll be no third year option trigger by the club. Mourinho had a meal with Raul Sanllehi, hang on, no he didn’t. It’s all supposition. […]
Morning all. Bayern Munich sacked manager Niko Kovac over the weekend after one dismal result too many. Saturday’s disastrous 5-1 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt being the final nail in his footballing managerial coffin. Firstly, isn’t that how things should be done, swift, no messing and before their season is totally ruined. Secondly, Jose Mourinho has […]
Morning all. I watched the game on a stream. Not brilliant, but between it freezing and buffering and me reloading it, I was fortunate to catch a glimpse of Unai Emery on the sidelines around the fifty minute mark. He was barking orders at Mesut Ozil and the look on our number ten’s face was […]
Morning all. It’s been a strange week really and not a particularly good one for Arsenal. In fact the entire seven days has done nothing other than bring more negativity to its door. Two more dropped points at home, the Xhaka spat with the fans followed by the long wait for what was in the […]
