Morning all. Another Sunday, another away fixture at lunchtime. Jeeze, when are we meant to eat our lunch? Joking aside, Thursday/Sunday football has become the norm by now, certainly as we’ve progressed further into our Europa campaign but at least after today’s fixture, the players will get a week of rest before West Ham take […]

Morning all. The base of this post comes from a comment left by Potter on Thursday. I said on Thursday night that there is a kind of lazy arrogance about the whole squad.. It’s as if they believe that they don’t have to work to prove their superiority and once they go ahead they just […]
Morning all. Jeeze, that was awful. Painful, lacklustre, disorganised, sloppy and any other derogatory word you and I can think of. I thought the challenge we faced would be somewhat more tricky than the home leg but gracious me, didn’t the team and Wenger make it more difficult than it should have been. Cech was […]
Morning all. There’s some really odd people in this world but then I expect you all know that but when a fellow Arsenal fan tells you to F**k Off and support Spurs, it’s a bit off really. I guess he/she is one of those who thinks Arsene Wenger is immortal and could still lead us […]
Morning all. Well that was a quiet old day yesterday, a bit like so many really. I guess that’s what Arsene Wenger and the board too for being so soft, have done to us over a long period of time. Fans don’t want to go to The Emirates to watch the team and the Arsenal […]
Morning all. Well well, Arsenal really are on a roll aren’t they as far as results go. Six on the trot I think it is now but yet another match shrew with defensive errors. One of course was a mix up between Cech and Mustafi with both leaving the ball to the other. The majority […]
Morning all. Well that was a feisty old battle at The Etihad Stadium yesterday evening. I enjoyed it as it’s great to see a bit of passion out there on the pitch. City missed the chance to be crowned champions purely because they were so wasteful in front of goal, Martin Atkinson missed a stonewall […]
Let’s face it, this has been a pretty tough season for Arsenal fans. After finishing outside the Champions League places in May, the signing of Alexandre Lacazette last summer offered some hope of improvement, but it proved a false dawn. A scrappy opening-day victory over Leicester provided a few scares, and successive defeats to Stoke […]
Morning all. As I begin to type, it’s 4-1 to Arsenal. Three cracking goals and a penalty so what’s not to be happy about so far eh. Plenty! A weak midfield, two dodgy central defenders and a goal conceded after some really poor defensive work by Xhaka, Mustafi and finally Koscielny who gave away the […]
Morning all. Ray Wilkins, great footballer, lousy pundit. England and Chelsea fans loved him, Utd fans too as he’d played for them as well as a number of other clubs. He didn’t quite make it to 100 caps for England but he was great for his country. I doubt he’d have looked for a reason […]
Morning all. It’s certainly head scratching times when it comes to writing about Arsenal. Even a quarter final Europa Cup fixture doesn’t seem to generate much interest, well, it certainly doesn’t for me. Maybe once kickoff arrives I’ll be a little more enthusiastic but I’m not holding my breath. The downhill path of the club […]
Morning all. Thirty odd thousand fans at The Emirates, a sign of how things will be for the foreseeable, a stay away protest against the manager or just Easter Sunday with family and friends busy doing other things like eating big chocolate eggs. Arsene Wenger might choose to convince himself that it was the latter […]
