Morning all. I’m sure most Arsenal fans are still feeling pretty good after Saturdays battering of Chelsea. As Arsene Wenger said, the first half was as near perfect as it gets. The second half was equally as good in it’s own right despite not scoring further goals. Little bits from the game though made me […]

Morning guys and gals. Ok, I don’t like swearing much but to be honest, that was the question running through my mind as the halftime whistle blew… Superb attacking play, great defending and great football from Arsenal. Great support from The Emirates faithful who started slow but after Alexis scored, came alive…. Alexis, Theo and […]
Morning all. Back when I was young, very young I hasten to add, I quite liked Chelsea. Well, Peter Bonetti and Peter Osgood actually and they nearly had me supporting the ‘Blues’ at an early age, something which I’ve never confessed. But thankfully, it wasn’t to be as Arsenal stole my heart. Back then though Chelsea were […]
Morning all. That ghastly under tall Portuguese pillock is back in the headlines and if what’s been written is true, he should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself. In a book written and serialised by Rob Beasley in the Daily Mail, Mourinho, when talking about Arsene Wenger’s comments on selling Juan Mata to Man Utd, […]
Morning all. Twenty years ago, Arsene Who? became Arsenal’s new manager. Very few knew much about the man from France, but David Dein did and having failed in his attempt to get him to Arsenal the previous summer, in 1996 he got his man. It wasn’t long before we Arsenal fans realised why David Dein […]
Morning all. No upset for Arsenal last night despite a number of young ones in the side. Having only seen the highlights, I can’t really comment on the way we played but a 4-0 away victory in the Cup isn’t to be sniffed at. The goals were all very good too. Xhaka blasted in another […]
Morning all. No idea what kind of team Arsene Wenger will select tonight but I suspect it’ll be a bit mix and match, especially as a few younger players were left out of last nights under 23’s 5-0 battering by Everton. Matt Macey, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Krystian Bielik, Chris Willock, Gedion Zelalem, Ben Sheaf, Stephy Mavididi, […]
Morning all. Wow! What a strike that was from Granit Xhaka and from so far out too. We all knew he could do it but to see him do it in an Arsenal shirt is super stuff. Awesome! Arsene Wenger won’t be pleased though as he seems to prefer the passing game and I suspect […]
Morning all. Firstly, a big thanks to Wath for keeping HH going for the past week whilst I took a break. I did get to see the PSG game which was awful, especially the first half but a point is a point and if Arsenal are to top their group, it could turn out to […]
Last season, Arsenal failed to provide a genuine challenge to Leicester City at the top of the table. Arsene Wenger’s men managed to pip their north London rivals to second spot on the final day of the season but the fact of the matter is this: not for the first time, Arsenal just weren’t good […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love the media. Just a few weeks into the new season and the Arsenal back pages remain in overdrive. Players are still being linked to the club despite the transfer window being long shut! Well, I guess that’s what happens when players are out of contract and looking for a […]
Morning all. A few youtube videos watched, perhaps thrown in with checking wiki for stats, a re-run or two of a couple of Deportivo matches and the whole world, well, the internet is going bonkers over the new boy Lucas Perez. Poor chap, not only will he be reading in the newspapers/blogs about how he […]
