Morning all. Ethan Nwaneri has put pen to paper and signed his first professional contract at Arsenal. Of course he’s thrilled: I’m delighted to have finally got to this stage after all the hard work over so many years,” he said. “It’s a proud moment for me and my family to finally be here, so […]

Morning all. I hadn’t been long in this world when Manchester City were relegated into the old Division Two. Two years later, and after the appointment of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison – they were back in Division One with better times ahead. Mike Summerbee and Colin Bell joined City and then in 1967-68, they […]
Morning all. Thank goodness the international break is done and dusted. After all the negative stuff Deschamps spilled about William Saliba, our centre-back played the full match for France last night as they beat Chile 3-2. Kai Havertz played 73 minutes for Germany as they defeated the Netherlands 2-1. Jakub Kiwior played 120 minutes of […]
Gareth Southgate has confirmed that @_DeclanRice will captain the #ThreeLions for the first time tomorrow night! He'll also win his 50th international cap 👏 pic.twitter.com/j0Qxnt5Flz — England (@England) March 25, 2024 Morning all. Just when I hoped Gareth Southgate would apply common sense by giving Declan Rice the night off having played in the […]
Morning all. Arsenal have confirmed a few fixtures changes ahead of next month. On Saturday 20th April, instead of kicking off at 3pm against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, it’s now a 7.30pm so Sky Sports can have their cameras ready in tin time. Our postponed home fixture against Chelsea will be played on Tuesday 23rd […]
Morning all. The new England kit. It’s a no from me…. Arsenal FC have confirmed that three of its own fans have been given a 3 year banning order after pleading guilty of public order offences relating to ‘tragedy chanting’ during the game against Liverpool at The Emirates back in January. Stupid behaviour, […]
Morning all. I made an error. Thomas Partey hasn’t gone off on international duty. Neither has Gabriel as he’s withdrawn because of injury. If you say so Gabriel…. Not for one minute do I think Gabriel is injured, I think this is the player and Arsenal seeing the bigger picture. Same with Thomas Partey who […]
Morning all. It’s looking like a Manchester derby for the FA Cup final in May. No disrespect to Coventry but I can’t see them beating Manchester Utd in the semi-final although I hope they do of course. Man City should in theory be too good for Chelsea. I watched some of the Chelsea match against […]
Morning all. The Champions League draw yesterday paired us with Bayern Munich. The first leg is at The Emirates Stadium on Tuesday April 9th and then the second leg in Germany takes place the following week on Wednesday, April 17th. It’s a shame we’re not playing the away fixture first because Bayern would have no […]
Morning Guys. Josh Kroenke was in town on Tuesday night apparently. He watched the Porto game with other board members and then 48 hours later, less even, Ben White has signed a new four year contract with the option of an extra year included. He’s 26 years old now so his peak years will be […]
Morning all. If there’s a result which says no lead is big enough, it’s Luton’s 3-0 lead against Bournemouth on the south coast last night. How on earth could a team which is so desperate for points go on to crumble before losing 4-3? I strongly suspect the Bournemouth fans who booed their team off […]
Morning all. Before the day, Mikel Arteta had asked the fans travelling to The Emirates for last night’s huge match against Porto, to bring their voices with them. They did, they were brilliant. Arsenal’s staring eleven was the same as the one which defeated Brentford at the weekend, barring David Raya who returned in place […]
