Just 35 years old and along with his cousin, he’s gone. José Antonio Reyes – 1st September 1983 – 1st June 2019 He wasn’t one of our own but between 2004 and 2007, he was one of ours. An extremely gifted footballer who despite trying, simply couldn’t settle in London, England. The Neville sisters played a […]

Morning all. A short post. Just one to get us thinking. I still can’t make up my mind over Unai Emery which speaks volumes in itself really. This season produced nothing we haven’t seen before. Good performances, dire performances, mini good runs followed by bad. Dreadful on the road, better at home when it […]
Morning all. A dreadful location to hold the final, a soulless stadium and the BT Sport coverage was about as poor as our second half performance. Arsenal just about sneaked the first half battle but as chances came along, they went as quickly as they arrived. Two penalty shouts, neither given. The second, the tugging […]
Good morning guys and gals. The day has finally arrived. Arsenal’s season could yet be a successful one, but it could also fade away leaving yet another disappointing ten months of football behind. I know the money and Champions League football are important but they’re not the most important thing in my opinion. A […]
Morning all. This season has been mixed. Some really good performances mixed in amongst a number or really awful performances. Odd team selections matched by far too many individual and collective errors. We’ve played really well against the top six sides, City and Liverpool away aside but we’ve also embarrassed ourselves against Palace, Everton, […]
Morning all. Krystian Bielik, 6’ 2, eyes are… I’ve no idea what colour they are and quite frankly, I don’t care. He’s been at Charlton Athletic all season on loan and from what I’ve read, he’s impressed. Admittedly, League One isn’t where you’ll see the kind of football Man City or Barcelona etc dish […]
Morning all. The boys have landed in Baku. Mkhitaryan is absent as we know but Danny Welbeck has made the trip booted, suited and no doubt hoping to play one more time for Arsenal before he departs for good. For nothing. The last in a long line of players who the club have managed dreadfully […]
Morning all. End of season always brings with it a recap. Who deserves the player of the season, who improved the most, who scored the most and of course, who scored the best goal. Alexandre Lacazette has already scooped the player of the season gong, Aubameyang scored the most goals for the club and in […]
Morning all. If the above photo is genuine, if this kit, modelled by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette is what Adidas has come up with for next season as they reunite with Arsenal, then it’s a big fat yes from me. I love both and for the first time in a while, I might […]
Morning all. Freddie Ljungberg, one of my favourite players during the Arsene Wenger era and no, not just because of his CK’s. He always played with a smile, scored important goals and. Well, he had red hair. I loved his red hair. What is it with footballers though? If it’s not their hair it’s their […]
Morning all. Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham have made it clear. The Kroenke family want Arsenal to be a successful club. They categorically refuse to breach the FFP rules to do so though. Every penny the club makes in profit is there to invest in the squad and that’s how it will remain. So what’s […]
Morning all. Leandro Trossard and Yannick Carrasco aren’t names thrown around in the transfers rumours very often. Certainly not when it comes to Arsenal nor any other English team as far as my memory serves me. Both are Belgian internationals. Carrasco has spent time at Monaco and Atletico Madrid before moving to the Chinese League […]
