Morning all. First up is Santi Cazorla and Per Mertesacker, two players whose contract expires at the end of this season. According to The Mirror, Arsenal have a one year extension option on both players but that decision will be made next month. ‘The decision will be taken in January.’ said Arsene. With the EFL […]

Morning all. So the bad news came yesterday with Santi Cazorla requiring surgery which came as a bit of a shock after Arsene Wenger suggested the Spaniards problem wasn’t serious. Actually, it shouldn’t have been such a shock because this isn’t the first time we’ve been told something similar about one of the Arsenal players. […]
Morning all. The day after Arsenal yet again failed to go through to the EFL Cup semi-final, just how much could we have done with our big Frenchman coming off the bench. No, not Yaya Sanogo who has a ‘confidential injury’ according to Arsene Wenger, but our new super sub Olivier Giroud. Did anyone really foresee what […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has said that Lucas is in the squad for tonight’s match against Southampton in the EFL Cup and the team will be a mix of youth and experience, but 90 per cent will be players from the first team squad. Gibbs, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gabriel, Holding, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Martinez and maybe Coquelin are […]
Morning all. Any plane crash makes dreadful news as seldom are there any survivors but when the majority of a football team and its coaching staff lose their lives it somehow feels different. Man Utd suffered such tragedies many years ago and last night, Chapecoense, a football club from Brazil, suffered in similar fashion. South America […]
Morning all. The talk this morning will again be about the referee. When Mike Jones dished out an early yellow card, something unusual in the game these days, I thought he was going to have a good game. However, he had a stinker. He missed the foul on Ozil in the move which resulted in […]
Football has the power to bring people together in a unique way and we believe there should be no barriers to feeling a sense of belonging to Arsenal Football Club. This is something we will continually drive to create an inclusive atmosphere for our fans, staff, players and followers – whomever they are and wherever […]
Morning all. Not much Arsenal news around really. Arsene Wenger has been bigging up Jack Wilshere by suggesting he’ll be offered a new contract real soon which I think is all rather odd. Yes he’s played a few matches on the trot now for Bournemouth and he’s earning rave reviews from Eddie Howe, but I’d […]
Morning all. As the Totts crashed out of the Champions League, a competition they are seldom in, Utd managed to pretty much secure a place in the next round of the Europa League, Leicester breezed into the next round just as Arsenal did too. Man City are pretty much through too. But it’s only ever […]
Morning all. There are things in life which motivate us humans, especially for those who need motivating. Sportspeople, businessmen and anyone who has the will to succeed needs this inner quality to reach the goals they set themselves. Striving to be the best in the business comes naturally to some, but not all, certainly as […]
Morning all. Finally, it’s official. Hector Bellerin has committed his long-term future to Arsenal, well, on paper anyway. £100,000 a week plus bonuses he’ll now earn which isn’t bad for a 21 year old is it? His agent said ages ago a deal was close but one can never trust agents, certainly not all of […]
Morning all. We have a strong and pretty deep squad but the one position we don’t have cover in is Santi Cazorla’s. Yes we have bodies, midfielder players, but none can do what the little Spaniard does and boy don’t we miss him. I guess Jack Wilshere is the closest player as far as similarities […]
