Morning all. Social Media has spilled over and into Unai Emery’s press conference as he was asked about the critical comments surrounding our away form. Ironic really beating in mind that today we travel to Huddersfield, the only ground we won at in 2018 under Arsene Wenger. Win today and history will repeat itself because […]

Morning all. There are some suggestions around the £40m-mark, depending on what competition Arsenal get in (Champions League or Europa League), I’ve been told that it could be around £100m to spend. As we know with Arsenal, that would factor in salaries as well, and we need to see what competition they get in. There […]
Morning all. I’m still trying to get my head around the recent Europa squad which has been announced. Danny Welbeck, Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin are on the long list of players yet Konstantinos Mavropanos, our probable future centre back, is not. I know it’s probably down to number crunching to comply with the home […]
Morning all. While I expected very little points wise to come out of our trip to the Etihad, I thought we might have shown a bit more effort than we did. To concede a goal in the manner we did within the opening two minutes was silly. I doubt many division one players would lose […]
Morning all. Man City are a side who if on form, could tear us apart with ease. Even if they’re not firing on all cylinders and we defend like we have for most of the season, maximum points for the home team is almost guaranteed. Unai Emery has hinted that new signing Denis Suarez could […]
Well that was an eventful 36/48 hours. I don’t know about you guys but where I live, six inches of snow fell and that’s a woman’s six inches, not a mans. My internet connection wasn’t happy, nor was my television but today everything is back to normal. It’s funny though isn’t it as despite all […]
Not by Rico. The race for the top four as expected is looking likely to go into the final games of the season. Both Liverpool and Manchester City and clear with Tottenham also holding a healthy cushion at present. However with the continued injury troubles and Kane sidelined, they could end up relinquishing their advantage in the […]
Morning all. Considering how many times I’ve heard and read the ‘January is such a long month’ moans and groans, this particular one has flown by. For me anyway. One minute I’m wondering what Arsenal might do during the transfer window, the next it’s deadline day with the answer still not certain. While Eddie Nketiah […]
Morning all. It’s a win, three points in the bag however they came which by all accounts wasn’t in a convincing fashion. Shame we couldn’t keep a clean sheet but that was inevitable I guess with the amount of opportunities we gifted Cardiff. On a night when Utd dropped two points at home and with […]
Morning all. Unai Emery on how many players he hopes to sign before the end of the week…? Nil or possibly two. Between nil and two. If they aren’t coming to help us like we want, then we would prefer them to not come. Two because we are looking at two different players who have […]
Morning all. Whilst our defending has left a lot to be desired, the attacking side of our game has gone relatively unctriticised. Probably because in certain games, especially during our good run, scoring goals bailed us out on more than one occasion. We’d go into halftime trailing before a second half turnaround coupled with inspired […]
Morning all. As Fun Boy Three and Bananarama once blasted out, ‘It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it….’ And the way we were dumped out of the FA Cup last night was pretty grim. Toothless up front, devoid of common sense and organisation in defence. How was Lukaku allowed so […]
