Morning all. It would be an understatement to say that ‘Poppygate’ is really cheesing off an awful lot of people off. It certainly is me. As Theresa May said the other day, Fifa need to get their own house in order before poking their noses into something which is a tradition here in England. I’ll be […]

Morning all. Whilst it’s amusing to see the neighbours result in the sports news this morning, I’m not ready to laugh until my socks drop just yet but I do have a little smile on my face. I actually hope they come third in their group, resulting in them going into the competition they know […]
Morning all. Not quite as good a Dennis Bergkamp’s incredible goal against Newcastle a few years ago but Mesut Ozil’s winner last night was not far behind. As Craig Revel Horwood would say ‘A MAZE ING’!! It really was very good and what a way to ensure Arsenal are through to the knock-out stages of […]
Arsene Wenger has done a lot of great things for Arsenal, the fans and especially the stakeholders. Arsenal FC is a highly profitable club, with a transfer strategy that generates a lot of money for its coffers. However, it’s been a while since major changes were made and results have been far from satisfying. In anticipation […]
Morning all. Injured, rested, rotated, left behind so they are fresh to face the neighbours at the weekend? I’ve no idea, but Nacho Monreal, Theo Walcott, Hector Bellerin and Santi Cazorla will be watching tonight’s fixture against Ludogorets from the comfort of their own home, a bit like most of us. Who comes in for […]
Morning all. For once, an Arsenal player has said it’s too early to talk about winning the league and that’s Ollie. He’s right too! It’s only October and as much as we in a good place in the league, there’s a long long way to go until May. Yes we are doing well as far […]
Morning all. Another game, another win, another really terrible performance from the referee, this time Martin Atkinson. Seriously, how on earth can he be trusted to officiate a non league game let alone a fixture in the top division of English football. It took him nearly half an hour to award Arsenal a free kick, […]
Morning all. Jermain Defoe. I truly believe that had he been signed by Arsene Wenger back in the summer of 2015, Arsenal would have probably won the league. Even at 32 years old, as he would have been back then, he went on to score 15 Premier League goals. Whether or not he would have […]
Morning all. He’s absolutely gutted because it’s an injury coming from nowhere and a stupid one. It was a kick, a deliberate kick. It was not needed. That’s Arsene Wenger talking about the reckless tackle on Lucas Perez by Danzell Gravenberch of Reading. Having now seen it, I have to agree. There was no chance […]
Morning all. Here’s the EFL Cup quarter-final draw in full: Liverpool vs Leeds United Manchester United vs West Ham Hull vs Newcastle Arsenal vs Southampton All ties to be played on either Tuesday November 29 or Wednesday November 30. We wanted a home fixture and that’s exactly what we got so that’s a good start […]
Morning all. Well that was a bit of a breeze by all accounts. I didn’t see the game, just the two goals. One either side of half-time from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ensured Arsenal would progress through to the next round. Another home fixture would be nice, as would the winners of tonight’s Manchester derby being drawn […]
Morning all. Here’s the latest team news from Arsene Wenger ahead of our EFL Cup fourth-round clash against Reading at Emirates Stadium this evening: Cazorla will not be available, but it looked after the game that apart from some tired legs and disappointed minds, we had nothing else to declare. I think Olivier will be included, […]
