Morning all. Thank goodness for Twitter eh. Young Hector Bellerin has used the social media website to assure us Arsenal fans that he’s going nowhere. A simple message read: ‘Don’t believe all you read’ which clearly refers to the recent stories in the press which suggest he’s about to jump ship and head back home […]

Morning all. Sections of the Arsenal fan base are giddy with excitement at the prospect of Arsenal breaking the world transfer record to sign Monaco wunderkind Kylian Mbappe. The club had an initial bid of £87 million rejected by the French champions, but the rumour mill went into overdrive this week when Arsene Wenger and […]
Morning all. When Big Sol made the move across north London he didn’t cost Arsenal a penny, not in transfer fees anyway and I don’t recall reading any negative comments about the signing. We all knew exactly the kind of player we were getting. Big, strong and hard as nails, a player who would put […]
Morning all. I think it’s fair to say that Dennis Bergkamp is the best player Arsenal have ever had at the club. The ‘Milan flop’ as he was referred to back in the mid nineties, became a fans favourite and not just the Arsenal ones. His vision, intelligence, movement and footballing brain was out there […]
Morning all. With no Champions League next season, Wenger can fully focus on the EPL. Key players can be rested, young players can be gradually introduced into the team/squad on a semi-regular basis and the Premier League will become the priority again. I for one, will be glad about that. Being out of the CL […]
Morning all. Transfers, transfers, transfers, don’t we love them, especially the big eye-catching deals like Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Petr Cech, but to me the Rob Holding kind of deals are equally as enjoyable, when they come off. A player like Holding is more likely to buy into the ethos of the club and grow into […]
Morning all. The breaking news yesterday afternoon, although not a shock, was disappointing to say the least. After 21 years at Arsenal and no Premier League title since 2004, for some reason Stan Kroenke and his motley crew think it’s a good idea to to award Arsene Wenger a two year contract. This decision seems […]
Morning all. Still smiling? Yes, of course you are, me too. Who wouldn’t be after the kind of performance Arsenal dished up on Saturday evening and the icing on the cake was the victory, the big jug and a couple of records to go with it. So many times in years gone by we’ve done pretty […]
Morning all. Three clubs in the top four have won nothing, zilch, zero! Yet Arsenal have been the ones who have been almost laughed at having missed out for the first time under Arsene Wenger. Yet I wonder how many of those three managers would rather be sitting in Arsene Wenger’s seat this morning? The […]
Morning all. So much for the transfer window opening on the 1st July, Pep has only gone and made the first move with a £40m plus signing of Monaco midfielder Bernado Silva. Wow, that’s what you call ambition and a sign of a manager who knows what he wants. I bet he’s the first of […]
Morning all. Tomorrow it’s the FA Cup Final, a fixture we should be looking forward to but with injuries/suspensions hitting us hard, I can’t say I’m overly excited at the prospect of facing the league champions. I guess you never know though as on the day as Chelsea could have an off day and we might play a […]
Morning all. As if our defensive problems weren’t big enough ahead of the FA Cup Final. Koscielny is banned, Gabriel is out injured for the foreseeable, Mustafi is a major doubt as he’s not trained and now Per Mertesacker has suggested he’s not match fit. When asked if he would be ready if selected by manager […]
