Morning all. Doesn’t it feel good to be the club which finally ended Ronald Koeman’s managerial career at Everton? His bully boy tactics were ghastly. Blaming the players, most of whom he actually signed, for their bad start the season wasn’t a smart move. Just goes to show doesn’t it that no matter how much […]

Morning guys and gals. Watching this Arsenal team play like they did yesterday raises more questions than it does answers. Where the heck has that kind of performance been hiding? How did Wenger manage to get the boys up for an away game? Why has Mesut Ozil not been playing like that for the last […]
Morning all. Loving these Sunday kick offs? No, me neither but it is what it is. At least it’s lunchtime and not a later fixture so the boys will be able to get home early, scoff their Sunday lunch albeit a bit late and put their feet up after giving their all at Goodson Park […]
Morning all. It is in the back of your mind to always prepare your team in the best possible environment. What is for sure today is that fans have a preconceived idea of how the season will be very quickly, that it will not be good. In football, even the best team in the world […]
Morning all. When Rick posted last night that eight of the players in the squad which played against Red Star yesterday evening it was music to my ears. Arsenal could very well become a club like not many other in the league again. A team full of proper homegrown players and not those plucked from […]
Morning all. Arsenal travel to one of most hostile stadiums for todays early evening kick off to face Red Star Belgrade. I didn’t know that almost almost half the country of Serbia who support a football team, support Red Star. Their stadium seats just over 55,000 fans and I doubt they’ll be too many Gooners […]
Morning all. While Wenger and his big boys go about trying to convince us all that all is well, which it isn’t and won’t be for a long time yet, the under 23’s are doing a tad better. Sitting in second place in their league, just eight points separate them and leaders Chelsea. Perhaps they […]
Morning all. I’m sure the Frenchman still has his followers, fans who still believe he can do no wrong. I expect the very question the headline poses never enters their mind. Not all I know but many of his worshippers are about because they know nothing different and Arsenal FC before Arsene Wenger simply didn’t […]
Morning all. Back in the good old days under Arsene Wenger, fixtures like today’s would be little to concern ourselves about. We had leaders, men, warriors. The minutes spent in the tunnel before both sides walked onto the pitch were often daunting for the opposition as they sized up the Arsenal team. Adams, Keown, Vieira, […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has spoken to the media this morning: Mustafi is out for 6-8 weeks. Koscielny has a final test tomorrow. Alexis doesn’t return until tomorrow and could miss the game after receiving ‘special treatment’ from the Brazil players. Chambers is injured. Sead Kolasinac has a sore hip and he too needs a […]
Morning all. I’m liking the story about Alexis Sanchez heading off to PSG in January especially as Julian Draxler is reportedly heading our way in exchange. I actually think that’s one of the best deals, if not the best, we could do. But I guess the stumbling block would be either player refusing to move. […]
Morning all. A bit of a upset took place last night as Wales, without Gareth Bale, lost 1-0 to the Republic of Ireland at home which meant their long wait for World Cup qualification goes on. The good news for Arsenal though is it means Aaron Ramsey will get a long rest this summer. So […]
