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 […]
Morning all. I know many Arsenal fans will disagree but I truly believe letting Mesut Ozil go next month would be a good idea regardless of how little we’d get for him. Sell him for £5 million, it wouldn’t bother me one bit. Wenger and Gazidis shafted the club when they agreed his reported £350,000 […]
Morning all. In hindsight, the over elaborate celebrations after beating Tottenham 4-2 a couple of weeks ago was slightly previous. Don’t get me wrong, the performance that day was great, the result equally as good but it was just one game and three points. I know, it was against them which made it matter more […]
Morning all. He’s gone at last and possibly never to be seen in the Premier League again. Other than hoping he’d take Man Utd into greater depths of despair, I’m glad to see the back of Mourinho. I may have gone right off Arsene Wenger as his Arsenal career came to an end but he […]
By AllezKev. We are well into the middle of that period of the season when two/three games a week take place. When the aesthetics of the teams performance lessens in importance and it’s more a case of keeping going. Grinding out positive results like the Huddersfield game which I really enjoyed. Conserving as much energy […]
Three free headers, three goals. That’s all it took for our unbeaten run to come to an end. Both Koscielny and Leno had a bad day. Yes Koscielny, he really was behind you! , Those in front of them didn’t fair much better either. Having gone behind we came back thanks to a lovely move […]
I think it’s a first for us this season as we face a side who will be playing their first home match under a new manager. I never like these games. Players, certainly those who have previously been frozen out of the team, have a new lease of life as they aim to impress the […]
I liked Paul Merson the footballer but if I met Paul Merson the pundit, I’d probably have to ask him if he’d ever really sat and thought about some of the things he says, whether or not he actually believes in what he says or does he just try to cause controversy. Bluntly, some of […]
That’s Europa over and done with for this year and it was good to finish with another victory albeit a slim one. I really felt sorry for Emiliano Martinez who not only must have struggled to keep his concentration but to have kept warm. I know I couldn’t stand still for ninety odd minutes in […]

Tomorrow evening it’s our final Europa group match against Qarabag FK, a team we’ve already beaten away from home. 0-3 it was that night thanks to goals from Sokratis, Smith-Rowe and Guendouzi. Qarabag had their moments in the game though and with just the one goal advantage, we were never truly comfortable. The home […]
