Morning all. Not the best of Saturdays as far as results go and if Arsenal want to stay in the hunt for the league title, winning fixtures like today’s are a must. Six points between us and the league leaders is nothing really, not at this stage of the season although Man City do look […]

Morning all. There’s nothing like a week of sun, sand, sea and… (Stop it now) claret to recharge the batteries. Mind you, my week was nothing like that as Dorset is hardly the South of France is it, but it was lovely regardless. In any case, France would mean thinking about the French and in […]
The end of last season should have been a bit of a breather for Arsenal fans with the chance to put the end to a few long, drawn out gossip stories and to allow Kroenke and co. a full summer to sort out the performances and atmosphere at the Emirates. Instead of appeasing the sizeable […]
Morning all. The media clearly dislike Arsenal FC and will criticise the club at any given opportunity and they’ll lie, just because they think they can get away with it. The latest in the Mirror stinks of desperation, they want readers and they’ve lied in order to get them. Chelsea had a packed stadium last […]
When Doncaster Rovers were drawn against us in the Carabao Cup, my mind drifted back to days when I used to play football. Of course, the Women’s game was far from being at the level it is now both in terms of the way clubs were run and the standard of football played. Yes, there […]
Morning all. Arsenal ended a run of five straight defeats at Stamford Bridge on Sunday by battling to the sort of 0-0 draw that could give fans cause for optimism. So often the Gunners have been bullied when playing their top six rivals away from home, most recently evidenced in a 4-0 loss at Anfield. […]
Morning all. Arsenal are set to earn a nice amount of money if, as it’s expected, Besiktas sell one of our old players – midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup. Reports suggest that the Turkish club hope to rake in around €20m for the player they nabbed off us for just €500,000 back in 2012. Should a club […]
Morning all. Well that was much better wasn’t it? About time too I’d say, although a big part of me believes it won’t be long before we revert to type. That’s not me being negative, it’s just being a realist. We’ve seen the odd smart performance play out before but seldom can this Arsenal side […]
Morning all. Our record against Chelsea in recent years has been nothing short of pathetic. Embarrassing actually. Once Roman arrived and employed that under tall Portuguese man, Arsene Wenger simply couldn’t match anything the West London club had to offer. Drogba destroyed Senderos, Mourinho destroyed Wenger and beating Chelsea away from home has been a […]
Morning all. Remember when Alexis Sanchez joined? Of course you do. Many over us were thrilled to bits to see such a talented footballer choose Arsenal and he did. Liverpool and Mourinho wanted him but despite the offer of a bigger salary, north London was his new home. It wasn’t long before we could all […]
Morning all. Having not taken part in European football for as long as they have, you’d have thought the FC Koln fans would have looked forward to last nights fixture and enjoyed themselves. Instead though, the fixture brought 20000 plus German fans to London, most determined to ruin the occasion and they nearly succeeded. The […]
Morning all. Arsenal embark on their Europa League campaign against FC Koln tomorrow evening with a point to prove after missing out on the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. Liverpool and Manchester City’s final day victories in the Premier League last season consigned the Gunners to the calmer waters of Europe’s less […]
