Morning all. We lost and blew the chance to overtake the Toots. We might get another chance if they drop points but looking at their fixtures, I’d say they’re now favourites to secure third place. Fourth is still very much up for grabs, especially as Utd flunked at Goodison Park. What will be will be […]

Morning all. What did we expect him to say, or rather, they expect? ‘I love not playing and much prefer to sit on the bench?’ Or ‘I’m so happy when the boss takes me off during a game because it means I can watch instead of working hard for the team?’ Seriously, I’m pleased to […]
Morning all. A hostile stadium, raucous fans, a top class performance played with heart and aggression. That’s what we were promised by Carlo Ancelotti. Certainly something much better that his team produced last week. Well if that was it, Arsenal coped very well. Easily really. I’m sure ‘some’ will say Napoli were rubbish, after […]
Morning all. Well that match last night had it all. Great goals, errors, VAR and last minute disappointment. City thought they’d won it through Aguero in the dying seconds but he was offside. City were out of the Champions League and it’s their own fault. They squandered too many opportunities to score. Toots now […]
Morning all. Arsenal players seem to be walking a tightrope all too often. One booking away from a ban. Sokratis Papastathopoulos is currently serving a two match domestic ban for totting up too many yellow cards and he, together with Granit Xhaka and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are in danger of missing our next but one Europa […]
Morning all. Well I didn’t see that coming. A red card for Troy Deeney very early in the first half. Apparently he’d said something about wacking the first Arsenal player and see who wants it, last season that is after we collapsed at Vicarage Road. Last night he whacked Lucas Torreira and was sent for […]
Morning all. For one minute there I thought ITV were bringing back This Is Your Life with Unai Emery as the host. I can see a similarity to Eamonn Andrews. Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira return to the squad today. Just what, or rather who we need in the side to prove we don’t lack […]
Morning all. Huddersfield weren’t expected to get anything from their trip to Toots yesterday but West Ham must feel very disappointed not to have gone home with a point from Old Trafford. A goal disallowed for them and two penalties awarded to Utd, oh the irony. Perhaps Liverpool will do us a favour later and […]
Morning guys. A short one, a frustrated one because yet again, the FA seem to be doing all they can to stuff our season up. We don’t need their help in that department because when it comes to away fixtures, were doing a good job of it ourselves. We played last Sunday, away, then Napoli […]
Morning guys. 45 minutes of really good football. Some of the best this Arsenal team has produced I think. The Emery press, slick passing and really good goal scoring opportunities created. We took two of them. Ramsey and Torreira, although the latter took a deflection to beat their young keeper. BT Sport seemed disappointed that […]
Good morning. Just a few days ago, AMN gave an interview about his life growing up in London and how not always having things easy made him the person he is today. It’s kind of like many other footballers story really and not always English or British players either. All over the world there are […]
Good morning. Nice to see the back of the rain for a while. There’s an odd looking yellow thing in the sky in West Berkshire too. Perhaps it’s shining in celebration of the news about Harry Kane. I wouldn’t wish injury on a fellow human being but at this stage of the season, any help […]
