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 […]
Morning all. The League Cup semi-final last night was good for us. Both Chelsea and Totts endured a long physical 120 minutes of football before the result was decided on penalties. Hopefully it’ll have an impact on both sets of players legs over the next week or two. The the Toots, they’ll have the double […]
Morning all. Man Utd come to town tomorrow for a Friday night FA Cup fixture. A first I think but the good thing is the Beeb are covering it so all those who refuse to line the pockets of Sky TV owners, can tune in. There’s been many a cracking match between the two sides […]
Morning all. Awful news about new Cardiff signing Emiliano Sala. There’s a chance he and others on board the plane could yet be found safe and well. I hope they are but it’s not looking good. So it’s six to nine months out for Hector Bellerin. Rotten news for him and his teammates, it really […]
Morning all. I like that from Michael Jordan although sometimes in life it’s hard, almost impossible to see something positive when the chips are down. Really down I mean and not just ‘having a bad day.’ Take Hector Bellerin. If his scan reveals an injury so bad it’ll end his season, how does can he […]
Not by Rico. One of the undeniable truths about football is that players are always moving in and out of clubs. Fans may sometimes regret how certain things turn out or get angry with the board and executives for letting them happen. One such instance is the most likely departure of Aaron Ramsey for Juventus, […]
Morning all. It’s not been the best of times for Arsenal or Unai Emery since he took over at Arsenal. One or two really promising performances tucked in between what can only be described as careless and below par ones. The injuries have come, gone and then come again which certainly hasn’t assisted Emery in […]
Morning guys. Speculation I know but ironic if true. AC Milan want to sign Mesut Ozil, or rather Paolo Maldini does but he’s got a fight on his hands trying to convince Ivan Gazidis to agree. Yes, the very man who was likely to have played a major role in awarding the German midfielder his […]
I know, two posts in one day but how could I not mention last nights victory for the under 18’s? Any win over that lot is good and this one is no different. Per Mertesacker, head of the Arsenal Academy. A privileged position as ultimately, the way he goes about his job has a big […]
Morning all. “In this transfer period it is not easy to take players that can help us with better performances than we have now,” he said. “The club is working for different possibilities but it is not easy. “They are private conversations [on Denis Suarez]. I don’t want to say to you what these conversations […]
Morning all. I wonder if Chelsea fans are excited about the reported imminent arrival of Gonzalez Higuain. A 31 year old striker on loan should see Morata move to Atletico Madrid. And there was me thinking it was only a skinflint club like Arsenal who dealt in loans. Seriously, if Higuain was heading to us […]
