Morning all. Whether you follow the women or not, seeing Leah Williamson return after being out for nine months has to be a wonderful sight. Her being unavailable for the women’s team is like William Saliba being out injured for the men. Beth Mead has showed no signs of a set back after her return […]

Morning all. A short post this morning just because there’s very little news around. Just a few years ago, there was a constant debate over whether Theo Walcott was a winger or striker. He said striker but Arsene Wenger said no and continued to play him on the wing. With little time to think, he […]
Morning all. Another seven days without Arsenal playing a game of football. Another eight days until this winter transfer window slams shut and it doesn’t look like Arsenal are going to add to the squad. Mikel Arteta has all but said he doesn’t need to, although I suspect that deep down he wishes the club […]
Morning all. Well, well, what a way to restart the season. Crystal Palace can be a tricky opponent for Arsenal but not yesterday. From start to finish, Mikel Arteta’s team was totally in control. Not even at 2-0 up was there a hint of a wobble, Not as far as controlling the game goes anyway […]
Morning all. I love reading things like this, I really do. The much maligned, even ridiculed Unai Emery, was the manager who gave Bukayo Saka his first experience of football in Arsenal’s first team. I actually liked Unai Emery, still do but the timing for him in north London was wrong. He and this current […]
Morning all. Jordan Henderson didn’t last long in the Saudi League did he? Al-Ettifaq, the club managed by his old team mate Steven Gerrard isn’t for him it seems as he’s now on his way to Ajax on a permanent deal. Karim Benzema isn’t keen on staying in Saudi either apparently as he’s heavily linked […]
Morning all. Nottingham Forest and Everton have been charged with breaching Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules. This is the second charge for Everton so they must be fearing the outcome having been handed out a massive ten point deduction penalty just two months ago for the very same thing. Premier League clubs are permitted […]
Morning all. Following on from my previous post it was very heartening to see that several of our Hale End graduates joined the ‘mid-season break’ party to Dubai, which incidentally also gives Arteta and his coaches the opportunity to study our youngsters closely both technically and to see how they interact with their peers. It […]
Morning all. January, the transfer window and Arsenal being on a winter break means it’s slow to no news. The only new things coming out of the club relates to Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey upping their recovery. We all want to see a new player arrive, a striker, a left back or even a […]
Morning all. Jurrien Timber, the player I thought wouldn’t be back this season has been stepping up his recovery from the ACL injury he suffered on the opening weekend of the season. He’s even had a ball at his feet. Incredible really yet there’s still a long way to go before he steps foot onto […]
Morning all. It’s been a while but Kev has found his mojo to write again. Lol It’s pretty chilly in the U.K. at this time, a far cry from the warming sunshine of the Red Sea and Dubai where the Arsenal senior squad, coaching and medical staff, families and assorted youngsters are relaxing and topping […]
Morning all. If little changes as far as Arsenal’s performances go, it won’t be long before questions will be asked about Mikel Arteta and whether or not he’s the right manager to take the club forward. As odd or maybe even as harsh as that might sound, no manager is above or beyond criticism or […]
