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, […]
Morning all. How sweet was it to see Jose Mourinho and his team on the end of a 4-0 battering by Chelsea? I loved it and hope it’s the first of a few the under tall man from Portugal suffers. Utd were awful, they defended like school boys which is so unlike a team coached […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Arsene Wenger who is 67 today. Most of us would be considering retirement at such an age and maybe he is but in the meantime, all we can hope is that his newly found mojo remains for the rest of the season. But we are heading towards a month which so […]
Morning all. Seems a 6-0 victory is being scoffed at in certain corners of the media. ‘Flat track bullies’, that’s Arsenal apparently, which is odd really considering just a few weeks ago we battered Chelsea with ease and they were a team heavily tipped to win the league before a ball was kicked in August. […]
Morning all. An odd game really. In the first half, the visitors seemed lively and on more than one occasion looked like they might open the scoring. Ospina was in good form to keep them out. Arsene: In the first half it looked like a difficult game because they were dangerous going forward. They had […]
Morning all. Bieber is in town! Apparently he’s a Gooner, he’s looking for a house not far from The Emirates and Mesut Ozil, together with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took him for a look around the best stadium in London a few nights ago after watching him perform at his ‘Purpose’ tour. Oh to be a multi millionaire […]
Morning all. I would be lying to say it hasn’t crossed my mind that I need more game time. As a footballer you want to play every game, and I’m not happy when I’m not playing, as is everyone on the bench. There is going to come a time in my career, and I think I’m […]
Morning all. Having not long beaten Chelsea at The Emirates for the first time in a long while, Arsenal managed to do the same against Swansea but it wasn’t plain sailing was it? Walcott scored two ‘poacher’ goals, something he certainly wouldn’t have done last season as he’d have still been jogging around on the […]
Morning all. Firstly, a big happy birthday to Mesut Ozil who is 28 today. By the time he heads out to party, I hope he’s also celebrating three big points. Oh, and go and sign that new contract extension old chap! We had two low points (last season) .The first was to lose at Man United […]
Morning all. Stan Collymore, not the nicest of men in this world and not the best informed either. Remember when he said Vidal was heading to Arsenal and his info was 100%? Yes, me too but such a move never materialised. Or was it Sami Khedira? Perhaps I don’t quite remember so well but regardless, […]
