Morning all. Thirty years! Thirty years of having to put up with Snickers when all the time I knew them as Marathons. No, not the 26 mile run around London or other cities but the chocolate bars which I love. Weird though as I have a allergy towards many nuts but not peanuts. Or cashews, […]

Morning all. Just as the official site updated the status of our defensive players to ‘back in full training’ which is brilliant to read, Alexander Lacazette has been ruled out for a few weeks because of an ankle injury. The team will miss him, not just because he’s our centre forward but because he’s a […]
Morning all. I’m not going to pretend I know much about Italian women’s football but when Arsenal drew Fiorentina in the Champions League, the media considered the tie to be a difficult one for our women. It’s not over yet I know but to return from Italy last night with a 4-0 victory in the […]
Afternoon guys. So the rumours which suggested both Xhaka and Pepe missed international playing time through injury were just that, rumours. Unfounded ones too as Arsenal have today confirmed that no injuries have been reported by any of our players as they returned to training. Good. Yes, even Xhaka as it’s up to Unai Emery […]
Afternoon guys. This international break is nearly as miserable as the weather here on the south coast of England. Next month there’s another break too so no wonder players suffer injuries. A weekend fixture either side of two international matches is far from ideal. The League Cup and Europa League fixtures take place this month […]
Morning alL. Well that’s week one of this boring two week international break done and dusted. This time next week we’ll be thinking about a local derby at Watford. In the meantime, have a think about the players who have left Arsenal over the last twenty odd years and which particular departure still leaves a […]
Morning all. Typical isn’t it, we’ve had little to no rain over the last week or two and now the fourth test of the Ashes is due to start today, it’s raining. As the old saying goes, rain before seven, fine before eleven, so I hope that’s the case today. Yesterday on here, we looked […]
He’s French… Morning all. When a twenty year old, playing in only his second season in England, bosses a midfield in a way Matteo Guendouzi did on Sunday, one has to just sit back and admire what’s going on. Last season he was a bit like a kid in a sweet shop, running around […]
Morning all. Despite surrendering a two goal lead, I suspect the Toots will be the happier club after yesterday’s draw at The Emirates because apart from a few counter attacks, we were pretty much all over them. Ok, we were the better team and if you’re a stats fan, we outdid them in every department. […]
Morning all. Two more players parted company with Arsenal FC yesterday, Mohammed Elneny has left on a season long loan to Besiktas and Nacho Monreal has return to Spain with Real Sociedad. The latter leaving at this particular moment in time might bite us in the backside. I’m not saying it will as Kolasinac on […]
Morning all. ’Things ain’t what the used to be’ – a line from an old song which I just about remember. Not the original version of course as that was well before my time, as was the first north London Derby. There are plenty of local derbies in football, Reading v Oxford or Swindon is […]
Morning all. David Dein and Arsene Wenger seemed a match made in heaven at Arsenal. Prior to the Frenchman’s arrival, Dennis Bergkamp had arrived and from then onwards, both Dein and Wenger worked their magic. Dein off the pitch and Wenger on it and for the next few years, Arsenal were the best in England. […]
