Morning all. It’s World Cup semi-final day, round one. I’m not fussed who wins this one really, especially as there are no Arsenal players in either side. Who’d have thought that though as just a few years ago, the French team was filled with Arsenal players. Koscielny would have been there had he not suffered […]

Morning all. Football in Russia is drawing to a close. The semifinals take place on Wednesday when England, yes, England face Croatia and France take on Belgium. Who’d have predicted those four teams getting as far as they have eh? France yes, maybe even Belgium but England and Croatia, probably not. There seems to be […]
Afternoon guys. It’s a warm one again, great for Wimbledon but cruel on the garden. Don’t know about yours but my lawn is starting to look like centre courts baseline area after the two week competition. Hey ho, can’t moan really, not when every summer we all wish for some sunshine when it’s been cold […]
Morning all. There are some things which just happen in life, a fluke perhaps, a mental block, or just for some other odd reason. We’ve heard it about Arsenal how they can’t win away from home, Wenger couldn’t beat Mourinho or Ancelotti, Arsenal couldn’t win at Old Trafford etc and as far as international football […]
Morning all. It’s hard to believe that it was seventeen years ago today when one of England’s finest centre backs took the short trip across North London to sign for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger’s best defender signing I’d say and he bagged him for free. I doubt Sol Campbell needed much persuasion to switch clubs back […]
Morning all. 120 minutes of football yesterday afternoon in the earlier game and to be honest, I thought much of it was really disappointing. Spain were disappointing from start to finish and struggled to break down or through a well organised Russian defensive setup which probably contributed heavily to the boredom. But who could blame […]
Morning all. I love the internet but when it crashes on a Friday afternoon it’s frustrating, annoying even but at least the sun was shining so my vegetable patch welcomed a bit of TLC instead. It was strange though as the first time in a few weeks there was no football to fall back on […]
Morning all. It didn’t quite work out for England last night in their last match of the group stage as they fell 1-0 to Belgium. Well, that’s how the media will no doubt see it as they wait for to break their scathing headlines about how England failed yet again. It’s what they do isn’t […]
Morning all. What a difference a change of manager can make. From not really focusing on the defence for the past few years, it appears that most of this summers signings are all about defensive players. We’ve already signed a keeper and a right-back and now Sokratis Papastathopoulos is on the verge of becoming our […]
Morning all. If you love your sport then the weekend just gone was a real feast. Tennis at Queens, football galore and then mid afternoon yesterday saw the Grand Prix in France won by Lewis Hamilton. Whilst yesterdays schedule was playing out, England beat Australia in the Cricket for a fifth time on the run […]
Early exchanges in the 2018 World Cup have given Arsenal fans their first chance to run the rule over new signing Stephan Lichtsteiner and the 34-year-old looked typically composed as his Swiss side held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in Rostov-on-Don. Elsewhere, Danny Welbeck was an unused substitute as England snatched a late win over […]
Morning all. It seems Unai Emery has now sorted his backroom team out. Jens Lehmann has departed but Steve Bould remains in the same role he’s been in for a number of years. Big news this I think because not only does he keep an Arsenal man in, but Bould is the guy many of […]
