Morning all. Another press conference out of the way, yet nothing new has materialised. No update on Arsene Wenger’s future, nor any of the players who are heading into the last year of their contract. Nothing has changed. I focus on what is important for me, that is the performance of the team and what […]

Morning all. If we are to believe reports in the media this morning, the club and Arsene Wenger are planning contract talks with several players who when the new season kicks off, will be in the final year of their current agreement. Those players would surely want to know who the manager will be before […]
Morning all. It’s season ticket renewal time and as so often, out come all the transfer stories. A £200 million war chest will be given to Arsene Wenger says the headlines. £100 million of that is money already set aside, the other £100 million will be generated from selling off a few players. Well, that’s […]
Morning all. We’ve seen it all before haven’t we and so many times. Last night’s capitulation seems worse though because we faced a side who under Arsene Wenger’s management, we’d never lost to, but they royally thumped us. To be fair, Palace didn’t even have to fight too much for the victory because we handed […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been talking about whether Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s future is in midfield: I think so. He can lose balls but defensively he is strong in the challenge when he wants to switch on. He has that kind of robustness to deal with body-to-body which is very important in the Premier League. When […]
Morning all. I was going to say that it’s hard to believe that nearly 22 years have passed since our north London rivals finished above us in the league but in all reality, it’s not been. However, that long-term record is about to be broken as this season, St Totts day just isn’t going to […]
Morning all. In a completely unorthodox, twisted way, Arsene Wenger has done a remarkable job at Arsenal within the limitations of the parameters he sets himself. A few years ago I read an article by Phillipe Auclair saying Wenger is a gambler and when you examine his career at Arsenal, the evidence is compelling. In […]
Morning all. What a pleasant change, three points, three goals, a clean sheet and up the table we go. All’s now well in the Arsenal world eh.. I’ve only seen the bitesize highlights on the official site so I’ve no idea really how the match really played out but I did notice plenty of empty […]
Morning all. The protesters turned up at London Colney yesterday, not many but no surprise really as most people would have been at work but for the guys and gals who did turn up, I doubt they thought they were wasting their day. For Arsene Wenger to suggest they were was another comment which […]
Morning all. We face West Ham tomorrow evening, Arsene Wenger has given his press conference this morning and one comment stood out for me. From Sky Sports: Ivan Gazidis, Arsenal chief executive, spoke at a fans forum before the Manchester City game on Sunday, and said that this season “needs to be a catalyst for […]
Morning all. So Ivan Gazidis has told a section of fans that there will be change and Arsene Wenger will have to get on board with those changes if he’s to stay on beyond this summer. What those changes are I don’t know as I wasn’t in the meeting and the media, like us, can […]
Morning all. I wonder what we’ll get served up today. A limp and cold lettuce soup or a fiery curry with lots of chillies in it? You’d expect the latter as Arsene Wenger has expressed his desire to take this team to another level. You’d expect the latter because for the last two weeks all […]
