Morning all. Well that’s it then, the season is over for Arsenal. Costa didn’t end our chances of ending the season on a high, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger did. I thought leaving Mesut Ozil on the pitch when Wenger made his first and only unforced change was a missed opportunity. Jack Wilshere had tried to […]

Morning all. Still no news on our new manager but no surprise really. I’d imagine whilst we’re still in Europa, the focus will remain on being behind Arsene Wenger and the team and rightly so I guess. But for Jack Wilshere, who comes in next matters: We are still in the same position really. Not […]
Morning all. All we asked for before the game was rotation, well, I did and that’s just what we got from Arsene Wenger. Thursday is far too important to the club to risk any of our key players. As it turned out, Danny Welbeck and Nacho Monreal did come off the bench but got […]
Morning all. Nobody that day, not the referee, the fans, nor Arsene Wenger himself, just why he was sent off late in the game. Turned out it was for kicking a water bottle after RvP had what would have been an equalising goal ruled out for offside. No seats available, so Arsene Wenger took to the […]
Morning all. Before you think I’m going bonkers, of course I’d much rather we were heading to Madrid with a 5-0 advantage and to be honest, we certainly had enough chances to do so but in typical Arsenal style, we conceded a goal late on. But, perhaps all is not lost, not yet anyway. Since […]
Morning all. Totally in control of the game and we should have been winning by a much bigger scoreline but then what’s haunted us all season and many before, reared it’s ugly head. 83 mins on the clock and we conceded from pretty much nothing. For once though, it hurt. The job in Madrid is […]
Morning all. Here we are then, crunch time, well, round one. Arsenal v Atlético Madrid and Salzburg v Marseille as the four sides do battle for a place in the Europa Cup Final. So which team is the 888 free bet favourite to lift the big cup in May? Atlético Madrid (current odds, 11/10) Atlético have been […]
Morning all. We knew this would happen from the very day Arsene Wenger announced he was leaving at the end of the season. Every man and his dog are being linked to replace him, well, not everyone but you know what I mean. Allegri, Henry, Arteta, Vieira, Enrique and Ancelotti are just a few from […]
Morning all. There was little different on show yesterday than there’s been for most of the season. A slow start, poor defensive work and awful passing. But hey, for once it was nice to watch on without frustration or anger. This predictable style of football will soon be over and something different will replace it. […]
Morning all. Have to laugh at the serial chokers who yet again lost an FA Cup semi-final yesterday. Despite having an advantage after playing their home games at the national stadium all season and taking an early lead, they flunked big time. I detest both clubs but out of the two, there could only be […]
Morning all. In the words of one of the greatest ever singing duos who’ve ever lived, ‘It’s only just begun……’ Actually, I strongly suspect that’s not the case as there’s little chance Arsene Wenger suddenly woke up yesterday morning and decided to quit his job, no more than I suspect the club suddenly decided enough […]
Morning all. You may laugh, but hearing the news that Arsene Wenger is leaving at the end of the season brought mixed feelings for me. Ecstatic as we head towards a period of unknown as far as who replaces him goes but sadness too as he took far too long to make his decision. For […]
