Morning all. Another day in a depressing Arsenal life. It’s hard to be positive about anything going on at the club these days and I can’t remember the last time I felt concerned ahead of a fixture like we have on Monday evening. A 3G pitch, a small ground where the home fans will probably […]

Morning all. Firstly, thank you David Ospina for not letting Bayern get into double figures. And there was me questioning why Petr Cech didn’t start, the Colombian really was in good form last night and he’d have done himself a huge favour if he’s after a summer move away from the club as he goes […]
Morning all. Poor old Hull City, they’ve been charged by the FA after a few of their players were a little too strong with their protests after Kieran Gibbs was booked instead of being sent off at the weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Clattenburg only reached for his yellow card but had that […]
Morning all. Back here, I feel I am in my home. We are one family and you work really hard with people who really love you. – Mohammed Elneny on returning to Arsenal after the ACON’s. I know that headline sounds stupid and no doubt I’ll get slapped down for saying this but sometimes I’m […]
Morning all. It was far from pretty, far from comfortable either but this Arsenal team huffed and puffed to a much needed victory. It was clear to see how low the confidence is within the camp as goal scoring opportunities were wasted time after time. But to be fair, they didn’t give up and eventually […]
Morning all. It’s difficult to know what to make of all the managerial rumours surrounding Arsenal right now. Of course I’d like the one about Arsene Wenger hanging up his boots at the end of the season to be true but with so many different names being throw around relating to who could replace him, […]
Morning all. I’ve never really been one to check the Arsenal website to see what fans think about the upcoming fixture but this morning I did take a peep. It’s what one does when insomnia kicks in. At the time of writing this post, this is how 26,111 voters feel ahead of us facing Hull […]
Morning all. The dust should have settled a bit by now after the last two dreadful performances against both Watford and Chelsea. I expect Arsene Wenger has finished shouting at his players, having told them what an overpaid bunch of letdowns they have been. No doubt he’s questioned their attitude, passion and pride for the club which […]
Morning all. Herbs Army left this comment on HH just a few days ago. It tells a story, a good one too of just how things have gone sour over the years… Most clubs would have used the pain of a CL final defeat as a way forward. To step back after the raw emotion […]
Morning all. Ever since Gary Neville took up his punditry role with Sky Sports at the start of the 2011/12 season, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have often been on the receiving end of much criticism. I can’t remember all the things he’s said but he’s accused us of being weak, too short, too slow, tactically […]
Morning all. Perez, Sanchez, Welbeck and Walcott. There’s no place for Giroud in this starting eleven today, not imo. They play with three at the back, so pace and width is needed to stretch those central defenders and take them to places they don’t like to be. Giroud doesn’t do that, it’s not his game. […]
Morning all. I doubt there are too many fans who haven’t been left scratching their head having seen the Arsenal squad for the knockout stages of the Champions League. What on earth is Yaya Sanogo doing in there I wonder? As far as I know he’s not even fit and having not kicked a ball […]
