Sowing the seeds… Arsene rolls out three excuses for failure against Sutton Utd.

Morning all. Until we drew Sutton Utd in the FA Cup, I didn’t know the club existed. In fact mention Sutton, and all I ever thought about was a packet of seeds I’d bought ready for Spring planting… The biggest concern ahead of tonight has to be their pitch, not only as it’s artificial but […]

Four more years for Arsene Wenger? History records broken, they might again tomorrow…

Morning all. So Arsene Wenger has vowed to go on, not necessarily at Arsenal, but in football. At 67 years old, he still believes he has it in him to win. PSG are the hot tipped favourites to hire him but I strongly suspect that’s purely based on Wenger being French. Why would a club […]

Arsenal are light years away from being where they should be. Bergkamp masked so many failings in Wenger’s transfer business…

Had anyone dared to suggest sacking Arsene Wenger in 2006, they’d have been carted off to the funny farm by men in white coats. And yet that was his nadir. He peaked with Arsenal’s CL Final appearance, and though the fall hasn’t been cataclysmic over the last eleven years, Arsenal are still light years away from […]

Arsene Wenger is leaving in the summer… March/April we can expect an announcement…

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 […]

Arsenal need to play like Burnley, otherwise it could be an awful night in Munich…

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 […]

Midfielder has gone back home, no, not Mesut Ozil. Lack of injuries costing Arsenal the league?

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 […]

Three points are three points. Silva on the up, Wenger on the way down…

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 […]

Laurent Koscienly drops a bombshell. Shkodran Mustafi still after the league title…

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 […]
