Exciting player return set to be confirmed. Ivan Gazidis making way for the newbies as mass clear out takes place at last…

Morning all. The big clear out at Arsenal is taking place according to reports with six of the old Arsène Wenger favourites being shown the exit. Physio Colin Lewin, who’s been at the club for 23 years has been told his time is up, as has first-team coach Neil Banfield, goalkeeping specialist (cough) Gerry Peyton, […]

Max Allegri rejects Arsenal, or has he? From ‘handbrake’ to ‘footballistically’ – Thanks Arsène!

Morning all. If one man staying at one club for 22 years when half of that time has been pretty drab sounds bonkers, the Love Island winning a gong at the BAFTA Awards last night is even more crazy. Who votes for these things? The world has gone mad. Anyway, that 22 year reign is […]

Arsene talks about his future, Wilshere, going to France and how Thursday is the big day.

Morning all. Yesterday the final pre-match press conference Arsene Wenger will ever make as Arsenal manager took place. A light hearted affair it was too by all accounts.

They’ve still got a few good players, probably more but if […]

Arsene Wenger leaves Arsenal in much better shape than Fergie left Man Utd…

Morning all. Wasn’t that a great BH weekend? The weather glorious, The Arsenal playing in a way so reminiscent of Arsene Wenger’s early days and a great party atmosphere at The Emirates on a very special day. Arsene Wenger was as ever the perfect gentleman, his words kind to all and even threw a little […]

‘Merci Arsene’ Wenger shows his class, Arsenal show theirs too on a day of goodbyes..

Morning guys. Well did you? No, not even a little droplet of a tear escaped the corner of your eye? You’re a hard lot…. The Sun shone brightly over a packed Emirates Stadium which was fitting for such a grand occasion. Players and staff of past and present had turned up to pay their respects […]

Pires talks sense, Arsenal and Chelsea in battle for big summer signing & it’s getting closer…

Morning all. We’re in for a great week. Summer has arrived as forecasters predict the hottest BH Monday ever recorded is on its way, three matches for The Arsenal within seven days at the end of which, it’s farewell, adiós, au revoir, thank you and goodbye. The domestic season will be over, Arsene Wenger’s twenty […]
