Morning all. So, after the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Man City yesterday afternoon, a perfect result for Arsenal by the way, the race for the Premier League title is close. Very close, in fact I can’t recall the last time there was three clubs in the race at this stage of the season. My […]
Morning all. That really was edge of the seat stuff. Aaron Ramsdale will no doubt hog the headlines for the wrong reasons but, let’s be honest here, he ending up keeping us in the game with a couple of outstanding saves. The one from Ivan Toney was incredible. Mikel Arteta made two changes to the […]
Morning all. Another weekend, another Arsenal league fixture. We face Brentford this evening, Porto on Tuesday and then that’s it for nearly three weeks as the international game takes over.

Morning all. Remember the ‘Arsenal don’t like it up ‘em’ comments or the ‘southern softies’ which usually came from the likes of Pulis, Big Sam – or any manager of a club based up north. The pundits loved it of course and would often join in on a match day. Well, scrub that label these […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta stuck by the old ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ mantra yesterday evening as he fielded the same starting eleven for the second match running. If it was because he’d anticipated a tricky game as I did,, he couldn’t have been more wrong. The fixture turned out to be […]

Morning all. In FA Cup week, Manchester City and Liverpool progressed through to the quarter-final with ease but both Chelsea and Manchester Utd needed very late goals to secure their place in the next round.

Morning all. Who’d have thought that Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior and Kai Havertz would have quietly made a big difference to Mikel Arteta’s first team performances. Jorginho against Liverpool and Newcastle, was superb and walked away from both with the man of the match award. Kiwior, who’d been criticised around the internet for his performances at […]
Morning all. I didn’t watch the League Cup Final but having read about it this morning, it seems Chelsea’s multi pound squad should have won it. Shoulda’ coulda’ doesn’t win matches though and by the end of extra time, Van Dijk’s late header had won Klopp another trophy. Hopefully his last in England. Many fans […]
