Morning all. It looks like Aaron Ramsey is going nowhere this month as Unai Emery said as much in his post match conference. Ozil isn’t either as it seems he wants to stay and fight for his place in the team. Fight, I doubt he knows the meaning of the word and yes, I do […]

Morning all. Or will it be afternoon by the time you lift your aching heads off the pillow? What a joke. Unai Emery gets fined £8,000 for kicking an empty water bottle while Sadio Mane gets away with wrapping his hands around the neck of Stephan Lichtsteiner. Why do the FA bother making the […]
Morning all. 2018 draws to a close, 2019 is just hours away. I don’t think it makes a lot of difference what four digit number is on the calendar because what’s meant to happen will go ahead regardless. But it’s funny though because to say goodbye to a year when it’s been a rough one, […]
Morning all. The signs have been there but the results have perhaps papered over many things. Certainly the mess at the back. No, the mess that is our defending as a unit. What happened at Anfield yesterday is a true reflection of where Arsenal are in my opinion. Miles behind behind a team challenging for […]
Morning all. I bet no one is giving us a hope in heck of getting anything from our trip to Anfield other than a good hiding. Hardly surprising though considering our results against them over recent years. We haven’t won any of the last five fixtures against them at Anfield. We did manage two draws […]
Morning all. It seems Unai Emery has caused a bit of a stir among Arsenal fans it seems. Certainly if a few NN headlines are to believed. Asked whether Liverpool could emulate our 2003/04 unbeaten season, he said yes. “They can do that because they are doing it at the moment.” What else could he […]
Morning all. Half way through the season and apart from an odd few games, our level of football isn’t really improving. We’re inconsistent that’s for sure but then we expected it to be like this didn’t we? We lacked tempo yesterday and width and energy. Too many roast potatoes perhaps or just Boxing Day blues. […]
Morning all. Hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and heads are not to sore this morning. Mine is clear but then I was driving so there you go. Football returns after a very short break and as we head to Brighton we do so with yet another injury. Our injury crisis and […]
Morning guys. No football talk from me, no moaning about Mesut Ozil or Alex Iwobi and not a word about our defence or defending in general. Nothing about injuries either, well, other than Henrikh Mkhitaryan has joined our never ending list of players we won’t see until well into 2019. Next month could end […]
Morning all. The big fella arrives overnight tonight so today I’ll be busy sweeping the chimney, making mince pies and scrubbing carrots. Just once a year it’s roll out the red carpet for Santa, Rudolf and his little helpers. No alcohol though as he’s driving his sledge with precious cargo on board. What do mean […]
Morning all. Well that was a pretty weird game I thought. Feisty at times, offsides not spotted, including for our third and a sending off which didn’t materialise. If sticking your boot, studs up, into a players body whilst he’s on the ground isn’t worthy of a booking then I don’t know what does. I’ve […]
Morning all. Out of those listed above, the only one I could spot in yesterday’s training session is Kolasinac. Not a good start really as the team could do with Mustafi back as surely Koscielny won’t start yet another match in such a short space of time. Xhaka playing there though isn’t working either, not […]
