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 […]
Morning all. I haven’t seen the match or the highlights which by the sound of things, there weren’t many in any case. But I can imagine how the game unfolded. A slow start, often second to the ball and Watford wanted it more than us. 2-0 and this time there was no coming back despite […]
Morning all. Wenger says he has never managed a better attacking unit than our current strike-force. “I think certainly numbers-wise and quality-wise together [they are the best],” he told the official website. “We’ve never had so many players who could perform and score goals – certainly never. Dennis and Thierry had the quality but that […]
Morning all. As the roars of Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal were in full swing, Theo Walcott had just made sure he was heading home with the match ball. ‘Steve Bould’s red army’ followed as Arsenal fans making the trip to the south coast, enjoyed having watched their team rip Southampton to shreds with a kind of […]
Morning all. So a four match ban and a £25,000 fine for Arsene Wenger. I thought it might have been worse than that, certainly the fine but it is what it is and Arsenal won’t be appealing. Actually, not a lot about Arsenal is yet here we are, second in the league, still in the […]
Morning all. Today is deadline day for Arsene Wenger. I wonder what the FA will do, after all it’s not long ago they highlighted how referees and their little helpers should be shown respect by publishing John Sheridan’s disgraceful outburst which resulted in a five-match ban and a massive fine. On top of that, he was then sacked […]
Morning all. Granit Xhaka seems to have hit the self destruct button. Having been sent off on Sunday, apparently he headed to Heathrow airport with a mate the following evening and got involved in another naughty incident. According to media reports, his mate checked in late for his flight and wasn’t allowed to get on […]
Morning all. What a match that was and not necessarily for all the good reasons. Despite Jon Moss trying to everything he could to dent our slim to none league title chase hopes, he must have been gutted having to blow his whistle and point to the penalty spot at the end of the game. […]
Morning all. “I’m a manager who likes to go forward but we have to find that balance between offense and defence, and that’s maybe where the future of this season lies.” – Arsène Wenger Results yesterday really went in our favour. City and the Totts drew, Utd dropped two points at Stoke and the biggest […]
Morning all. The last few days has seen Arsenal extend both Santi Cazorla and Per Mertesacker’s contracts. Good news or not? The big German, our captain who hadn’t played a game since being given the armband isn’t going to be any quicker than he was when we first signed him and considering there’s so much […]
