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 […]
Morning all. The English media really are foolish people. In the buildup to England’s opening World Cup fixture, the BBC showed mocked up headlines, news bulletins and other silly stuff portraying England as World Cup winners at the end of this current tournament. Only they would do such a thing wouldn’t they? The very same […]
Morning all. Saturday was a bit of a let down as far as the World Cup goes. Yesterday was better, certainly as far as shocks go but after Friday evenings great battle between Spain and Portugal, those dizzy heights weren’t really met. I watched most of the France game which was boring I thought with […]
Morning all. Well that was a big fat ‘welcome to the World Cup’ wasn’t it? Spain and Portugal dished up what I thought was a great game of football. For a while it was Costa v Ronaldo as the two players dominated the scoreboard at 2-2 but by the end of the match it was […]
Morning all. So the World Cup finally kicked off yesterday after with the hosts Russia, thrashing a Saudi team 5-0. Not much to get excited about from that game or result really as even England would have beaten Saudi but one player, who funny enough has been linked to us on more than one occasion, […]
Morning all. If every transfer rumour ended in a signing, my word we’d not only be a real threat to Man City, but probably Barcelona, Real Madrid etc in the Champions League too. Ah, we’re not in that European this coming season are we, silly me, but I think you get my drift. The 2019/20 […]
Under new boss Unai Emery, complacency will not be an issue in 2018 for the Arsenal Gunners. Emery will be under a lot of pressure as he replaces legendary Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, who retired after 22 years in the trenches. Emery’s most pressing task will be to raise the morale into a team that […]
Morning all. Over the weekend, one of greatest players said goodbye to the game once and for all. A career ruined by injury, was fantastic anyway. Not so much for all things won, but for us the Arsenal fans, it was an absolute privilege to see him play in the famous red and white shirt […]
Morning all. Signing number two seems to have been done although there’s no official announcement from Arsenal yet. Sokratis Papastathopoulos will be playing for Arsenal next season after a £16 million deal was agreed with Borussia Dortmund. He’ll join us on the 1st of July according to The Telegraph and many other news outlets. To […]
Morning all. I thought with all the changes taking place, Arsenal forums, blogs, whatever you choose to call them, would be buzzing a lot more than they are. Here on HH it’s the quietest it’s ever been. Not even the signing of Stephan Lichtsteiner brought fans out of the woodwork. Perhaps as more signings are […]
Morning all. Funny how things sometimes work out in life. I had to call an engineer out because our fridge/freezer had a fault. Inevitably, the conversation got around t football as it so often does with me and having heard the engineers voice I suspected he could only support one of two teams. Do I […]
