Morning all. I guess it was inevitable really so it’s no great surprise to read the headlines on the back pages which suggest Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are likely to part company in the summer. Unlike many of us though, this suggestion in the newspapers seems to have suddenly come about following our toothless performance […]

Morning all. Just a few weeks ago, Arsene Wenger was quite adamant that he’d be Arsenal manager next season, the final of his two year contract signed last summer. Yesterday though, after the 3-0 mauling by Man City, when asked again whether or not he’d be Arsenal manager next season, his reply was simply ‘who […]
A post from AllezKev this morning. OK, first the bad news. Arsenal do not have a good record in League Cup finals. On the seven occasions we’ve got there, only twice have we left Wembley with a winners medal and the trophy but the last time that happened was back in 1993. Yeah, yeah, yeah, […]
Morning all. The touch paper has been lit and the insults have begun after Arsenal were drawn against AC Milan in the next round of the Europa Cup. I can still remember them thumping us 4-0 in the San Siro back in 2012. That though was a Champions League fixture and another battering like so […]
Morning all. Around eighty eight minutes on the clock, the referee took a tumble after being caught by one of the Ostersunds players. No fuss though, no extra tumble or three, just a graceful return to his feet. I like things like that, they make me smile. The highlight of the game I thought. As […]
Morning all. Chelsea v Barcelona didn’t quite live up to expectations last night. A good game but I thought there’d be more goals, certainly from the visitors. Suarez was kept quite quiet I thought and resorted to making a few unwarranted tumbles but the two goals scored were good, especially Will I Ams. Chelsea face […]
Morning all. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has repeatedly said that he is determined to see out the year and a half that is left on his contract. But will the state of mediocrity that has befallen his side allow him to do so? As last season drew to a close, the 68-year old Frenchman signed […]
Morning all. I think winter is disappearing fast. The cold frosty mornings are followed by glorious sunshine and pleasant temperatures. Daffodils are growing rapidly, crocus are in full bloom and the snowdrops are standing strong. Everything in the garden and on hedgerows is moving forward towards a new season. Spring. I love springtime, I really […]
Morning all. A few years ago, a relatively boring game which ended with a 3-0 victory away from home in Europe would be something to feel pretty chuffed about. But these days that’s not the case, certainly not for me. While I’m glad we won, the way we did was hardly enthralling. It was just […]
Morning all. As we know, they’ll be no Alexandre Lacazette tonight and there’s quite a few others missing too. Petr Cech, Laurent Koscielny and Jack Wilshere have stayed in north London along with Aaron Ramsey who really does have an injury and could miss the League Cup Final. He’ll definitely not be back for the […]
Morning all. Darn it, Alexandre Lacazette has had to undergo knee surgery for an injury which has been niggling him for a while. Two things popped into my mind on reading that awful news. Why has he been on the bench and why has he been training and playing. Ok, three, why on earth did […]
Guest post by Pat from Arsenal FC blog. It is a well known fact that Arsenal have not won the Champions League or the Europa League under Arsene Wenger. The closest the Gunners got to winning Europe’s number one competition was a painful defeat to Barcelona in 2006 which ultimately ended the Invincibles era. In the […]
