What’s best for Arsenal? Puel to do his old mate a favour, or end any hope of a top four place?

Morning all. Here we are again then, just four days after battering Man Utd at The Emirates, off we go to St Marys to face Southampton. The South coast side haven’t been kind to us in the past, certainly not a couple of seasons ago when we travelled there on New Years Day 2015. Worse […]

Protests, Lady Luck and Maltesers all on show as Mourinho finally gets beaten!

Morning all. Arsene Wenger must regret not playing Rob Holding last weekend against the neighbours as part from a dodgy back pass, his performance was pretty much flawless.

Mbappe is coming to Arsenal, Zaha too! Twenty minutes of pure beauty, and then…

They might be able to turn their backs on three lonely protesters at London Colney a few weeks ago, or as in Arsene Wenger’s case, make a snide comment about having […]

Has the power in North London really shifted? Mustafi out but Koscielny is likely to play..

Morning all. There’s a lot of talk right now about how the neighbours are a better club than their north London rivals. A suggestion which I find quite laughable. Yes, right now they have a better manager as far as tactics and motivational skills go but until Mauricio Pochettino wins something with his group of […]
