Morning all. The Arsenal before and after the Coronavirus break looks quite different. I don’t mean with the social distancing, lack of supporters, or the new hair styles are players are wearing but the players themselves. Before the break in this season. Ainsley Maitland-Niles was allegedly in the naughty corner, yet now […]

Morning all. Well that didn’t quite go to plan did it? The last friendly before facing Man City and we got walloped. Just as beating Charlton meant very little, losing to Brentford means very little too. Another run out for our players, a first for Bukayo Saka since the break, the very first for Trae […]
Morning all. We’re well into single figures now as the season nears resumption. Arsenal are one of the four teams to kick things off a week from today. I know you already know that but in case you’ve slept and thought football returning was just a dream, I’m reminding you that it’s not. It’s real. […]
Morning all. The rumour mill is gathering pace but as Chelsea seem to be digging deep for gold to spend, Arsenal, without Champions League money for the last couple of years, will no doubt be looking at a very different group of players if they are to bolster the squad this summer. That isn’t to […]
Morning all. I read an article by Alex Richards in The Mirror this morning. He was writing about Ainsley Maitland-Niles and how after being ‘chastised by Mikel Arteta, perhaps his future is bright after forcing his way back into the Spaniard’s plans.’ Firstly, I don’t recall AMN ever being chastised. All I ever heard […]
Morning all. According to The Mirror, Arsenal have and still are, firing scouts. The newspaper suggests this move is down to the impact Coronavirus has had on the club. Finances are tight and this is a cost cutting move. No names have mentioned, just ‘senior scouts’ along with those responsible for spotting the likes of […]
Morning all. Charlie Nicholas often has something to say about his old team and I have to be honest, seldom do I disagree with him. Arsenal ‘cannot expect to compete at the top of the Premier League again until poor decision-making on recruitment and player contracts is addressed’ he told Sky Sports Football Show. Along […]
Morning all. Type David Luiz into Google and all sorts of articles will return. I would say skip past his success stories but you don’t need to as they are the last to appear. It’s the here and now which is creating fuss and a lot of it. A £24 million waste of money deal […]
Morning guys. Fifteen days until the season restarts but it still feels like it’s summer and the 2019/2020 season is a thing of the past. On a scale of one to ten, my interest in the remaining fixtures sits around three. Hopefully that’ll change when Arsenal head off to The Etihad in two weeks […]
If blokes, or women I hasten to add, want to cause havoc, or scrap even before, during or after a football match, it’s likely they’ll find a way regardless of location. The FA, in my opinion are kidding themselves if they think moving a North London Derby out of town or a potential title […]
Morning all. April 2017, Selhurst Park. Arsenal had just conceded a second goal. Sir Chips Keswick was watching on from the stands but as Yohan Cabaye began to celebrate, our club Chairman got up from his seat and walked out. He’d seen enough, so media reports suggested at the time. Sir Chips didn’t return to […]
Morning all. Yesterday the Premier League released a statement which read: The Premier League can today confirm that on Monday 25 May and Tuesday 26 May, 1,008 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, four have tested positive from three clubs. Four positive tests doesn’t sound many I know but it’s four too […]
