Good morning. What matters isn’t how well you play when you’re playing well. What matters is how well you play when you’re playing badly. Martina Navratilova. Martina Navratilova, one of the greatest sportswomen ever, didn’t do bad very often during her prime but even when she appeared to be having an off day, she […]

Good morning. VAR was in use at Wembley yesterday. Anthony Taylor had a chance to prove its benefits before its introduction to the league next season but he blew it big time. If he couldn’t see Kyle Walker’s headbutt on Alireza Jahanbakhsh deserved a straight red card then what hope do we have? Brighton should […]
Good morning. One game at a time, one performance at at time, that’s what Unai Emery is about and how he and his players will approach the rest of the season. Less than two months to go now and by the time you’ve eaten all your Easter eggs, even less. I’ve no idea where this […]
Good morning. Having been holed up in one room for much of yesterday, I had a read around on other websites and it’s comments. Then general gripe seems to be the remaining fixtures and how the home v away games are unbalanced. Toots have an advantage appears to be a strong view as four […]
Good afternoon. If it’s good enough for Unai Emery, it’s good enough for me. That’s what I thought anyway. It doesn’t matter whether we’ve won, lost drawn, been cheated out of a victory or whatever. The first thing he says to the guy/gal with the microphone is good morning. Or whatever greeting the time […]
Good morning. You build you own luck in life right? In which case, you must build your own bad luck too. Arsenal have certainly had their fair share of both this season with the bad luck possibly just edging it. Certainly in the injury department and to a degree, in other areas too. Harsh sendings […]
Good morning. Decent performance. 👍🏻 Three points.👍🏻 No booking, therefore no ban for Sokratis. 👍🏻 A clean sheet. 👍🏻 Overtaken Toots. 👍🏻 Ramsey injury. 👎🏻 Anthony Taylor. 👎🏻 A good night for Arsenal. I think we’ll all agree on that. Our opening goal was disallowed and rightly so I thought. By the letter of the […]
Lady Luck was certainly on rotten form for us over the weekend, all but at Anfield that is. Man Utd rode yet another wave of good fortune against Watford at Old in the Saturday afternoon fixture that’s for sure. Yesterday in Cardiff Craig Pawson had a dreadful day. Cardiff were winning 1-0, should have been […]
It’s true though isn’t it? We never forget David Rocastle. Perhaps right now looking back at the man we all knew as Rocky, has never been more poignant. Rocky, along with so many others in The Arsenal team back then were probably never looked upon as being the greatest footballers the world has ever seen […]
We die for the team and you could see it today in every tackle, every chase down and every block. It was fantastic to see. Arsenal.com That’s what you get from a true Arsenal guy. Same with Carl Jenkinson. They might not be the best footballers in the world but what they give in terms […]
Just a few days ago I watched Sokratis and Mavropanos play some kind of game on the official website.Something to do with naming countries beginning with a particular letter which on this occasion was an A. Sokratis said America which left his fellow teammate in fits of laughter. It’s the United States of America said […]
Firstly, I hope UEFA throw the book at Montenegro, I really do. In fact, if they want to put a stop to racism, set a precedence and throw the country out of the Europe and the World Cup. Or at least ban them for five years or similar. I’m not even sure why they’re in […]
