Morning all. “We wanted this result but also we wanted to play for our supporters here, to improve and build our mentality after first match away, which was not good. We did our best to come back (in the tie) and the team worked very well. “But we also had to take precautions because if […]

Morning all. After our pathetic performance just a week ago, the pressure is on tonight. We need a win and should we concede yet again, that win will have to be big. AMN is a doubt but it looks like Sokratis might be back which if so, is a big boost. Ramsey too and there’s […]
Morning all. I watched the FA Cup match between Chelsea and Man Utd last night. Sarri is seriously struggling to get his multimillion pound team firing. Defensively they look disorganised, their midfield wasn’t exactly what you’d expect to see and up front, they were pretty toothless. I wasn’t overly impressed with Utd either really, apart […]
Morning guys. “It will be a loss for Arsenal. I must say it will be an interesting move for Ramsey. He is a player who is great going forward. His main quality is he can keep the final ball and he makes interesting runs from deep. “You don’t find many players today who can make […]
Morning all. Sven Mislintat is off this month, he could already be gone. I’ve no idea for sure. His appointment was generally well received I think, our hope to success by spotting players who were cheap, but were expected to come good, really good. For whatever reason only he and the club know for sure, […]
Morning all. ‘When you start supporting a football club, you don’t support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.’ Mesut Ozil on Twitter. Many, not all I know, support any football club because they’re born into it. […]
Morning all. I’m at a loss really. Losing 1-0 to BATE the way we did was embarrassing. We stated brightly and created enough chances to not only take the lead but to pretty much put the two legged tie out of reach. Had Mkhitaryan buried the first, who knows what might have followed but he […]
Morning guys. Mesut Ozil hasn’t travelled to Belerus which has sparked another social media outcry. Hang on though, he’s been sick according to Unai Emery, with the same bug which kept Aubameyang out of the team at the weekend. Trouble is, we cynics are exactly that aren’t we, cynical. A one off omission through sickness […]
Morning guys. Bear with me on this one, hopefully it’ll make sense. A few weeks ago I was put on a gluten free diet. I had two choices on how to approach this as I love homemade sourdough bread, any bread really. I enjoy a bowl of porridge in the morning or a homemade flapjack […]
Morning all. It’s often sad when an Arsenal player leaves the club. Not always though that’s for sure as I’m sure like me, you’ve been glad to see the back of quite a few. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about Aaron Ramsey though. On one hand I think he gives the team something […]
Morning guys. Alex Iwobi, perhaps the current Mr Marmite, the Theo Walcott of 2019, a player who frustrates me that’s for sure. He’ll pick the ball up, drives forward, goes passed a few players and then it’s crunch time. What he does next is crucial to attacking move. He stops, thinks and then the moment […]
Morning all. Another away game with a less than convincing performance but unlike others since November, we won this one. Had we previously played better on the road we might not be scrapping around for points in desperation for a top four spot. I’m not sure we’re worthy of place in the Champions League next […]
