Morning all. I reckon the manager of Basel must have had one glass too many on Saturday evening whilst watching West Ham play Arsenal. How anyone could suggest Arsenal were outplayed by the Hammers is nearly as crazy as Shearer saying Alexis isn’t a world class player. Sometimes it’s better to just keep quiet rather […]

Morning all. Sometimes one just have to sit back, enjoy football and smile whilst watching other matches, or just catching the updates on the web. Chelsea v City kicked it all off, literally. Two red cards towards the end of their match against Chelsea means both Aguero and Fernandinho will be missing for the fixture […]
Morning all. With November done and dusted, a London derby kicked off December. West Ham would have been buoyed by their draw at Old Trafford last weekend in the league but after a spanking by the same team in midweek, any confidence they had, would have taken a bit of a knock. Unlike Arsenal, they […]
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 […]
