Morning all. Arsene Wenger turns 70 next week and The Daily Mail have done a nice piece on him. The one thing which stuck out for me was how he hasn’t lost his ability to make a pound or two and regardless of who for. A charity auction, a dinner at some swanky place with […]

Afternoon all. Proper football returns this weekend but not for long as more international fixtures pop up again in November. Boo hoo. But I think that’s it then until 2020. Hoorah. We’ve seven fixtures to endure, I mean enjoy between now and the next break. Four in the league, two in Europe and one in […]
Afternoon all. Inevitably, the football news dominating the front and back pages of nearly every newspaper today relates to England’s 6-0 battering of Bulgaria. Sadly though, the game itself isn’t the big headline, it’s the racism directed at the black players representing the away team. I’m not black, I’m white and English so I’ve absolutely […]
Good afternoon. When will it stop raining? It’s dark as well, far too early in the day that’s for sure. Rumour has it Ian Wright is heading for the Australian jungle this winter. Last years winner Arry let it slip and he reckons our ex striker might struggle to keep it together. I think I […]
Morning all. We’re half way through this international break, not quite for Arsenal though as it’s Monday night football for us but maybe by the time our match kicks off, both Utd and Toots will have dropped more points. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scooped the September player of month award a couple of days ago. Excellent. I […]
Morning all. Having been relatively quiet since leaving Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has now opened up. He’s been talking to the media about all sorts of things football related and we’re getting to know a few things which really happened during his time at the club. I’d like to think what he’s saying is true anyway […]
Morning all. There are two ways of looking at the club right now I guess, one is to accept this is Arsenal under Unai Emery and until he’s gone just put up with it or two, moan. Moan at being third whilst playing 45 minutes a week. Lol Ourselves,Toots and Utd are in a mess, […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game, just a few highlights so not much from me this morning but from what’s been written out there in Arsenal land, it wasn’t pretty. But, surprise surprise, we’re 3rd in the Premier League table with just one point between us and Man City. Yes, it’s a mad world. Twenty […]
Morning all. Midweek saw a young Arsenal side play in a way which we’ve been crying out for, for what seem like years. Similar could be said about the Notts Forest game too. Energy, movement, pace, excellent crossing from both sides, especially from Tierney and a bit of organisation at the back too. It’s a […]
Morning all. Yes, it was ‘only’ Standard Liège, but this is a club which has won numerous league titles in Belgium. It’s an experienced football team which a ‘second string’ Arsenal despatched with ease. A 7-0 scoreline would not have been flattering had that been the final result. As it turned out, we had to […]
Morning all. I watched the Bayern game last night and drooled over some of the football they played. The officiating was diabolical, equally as bad if not worse than what we see here in the Premier League. Serge Gnabry scored four against a team we huffed and puffed against and I wondered why, or rather […]
Morning all. Our match against Utd was hardly a good advert for Premier League football. Two clubs, desperate for everything to suddenly click into place on the pitch played out a poor game. Chambers went into the book quite early which in itself I thought was fair but when the Utd players committed similar fouls […]
