Morning all. We have a strong and pretty deep squad but the one position we don’t have cover in is Santi Cazorla’s. Yes we have bodies, midfielder players, but none can do what the little Spaniard does and boy don’t we miss him. I guess Jack Wilshere is the closest player as far as similarities […]

Morning all. Another lunchtime kick off, another really awful performance at the Old Toilet. But I’m not sure what shocked me most, Mourinho sending his players out to actually try and play football, or Oliver Girouds stunning header late in the game. Oh, or the superb cross from our new right-back, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Nice! It […]
Morning all. Unless you happen to be a Man Utd fan, most football fans would be glad to see the back of Mourinho, and not only from the Premier League but football in general. Actually, I wouldn’t bet against a few Utd fans wishing him gone either. He’s an embarrassment to the game, to the […]
Morning all. Proper football is back, as is Arsene with his press conference. Not good news on Hector Bellerin who is out for around four weeks and Santi Cazorla remains out too as he’s not even back in training yet. Good news is that Alexis Sanchez has text his manager telling him his fit, healthy […]
Morning all. 84 minutes of football, two goals and then off he went. Now Alexis heads back to London and there’s little doubt the Arsenal medical team will be desperate to know how he feels. Will he be fit for Saturday is the big question which most of the fans will want to know the […]
Morning all. Many of the international fixtures tonight are friendlies with just Ospina and Alexis competing in a WC qualifier and as we’ve all seen by now, he’s back training and expected to start for Chile. Fingers and toes crossed for 90 minutes! Elneny, Xhaka, Ramsey and Iwobi are all back in London, or they […]
Morning all. The football news has hit an all time low as far as interest goes. The back pages are already in overdrive with their transfer rumours ahead of the January transfer window and the longer both Mesut and Alexis drag out their contract negotiations, the harder it is for us fans to believe they […]
Morning all. It’s a big day today. On the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month, there’s silence. A time to reflect, a time to remember those who lost their lives while fighting for their country. Tonight at Wembley, both England and Scotland will play out a tough battle on the football […]
Morning all. All the back pages have a story about young Hector Bellerin. He’s signed a contract extension according to them and it’s a long one. A good one too apparently as he’s been given a whopping pay rise. According to The Mirror, his deal is worth in excess of £100,000-a-week which will net him […]
Morning all. It’s bad enough not being able to beat the neighbours at the weekend but it’s made even worse knowing it’s now yet another two weeks of international matches. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been omitted from the England squad, which is no great surprise but back comes Jack Wilshere who for a change, has been […]
Morning all. What a disappointing match that was. The Totts turned up with fresh ideas. Instead of four at the back, Poch went to three and for some reason, Arsenal appeared not to like it. Well, that seemed to be the view of the commentators and pundits on BT Sport. I’m not sure why it […]
Morning all. It’s hard to believe that during Arsene Wenger’s twenty year reign as Arsenal manager, today’s opposition have only managed to win seven matches played between the two sides. Actually, it’s not that hard to believe really.. So could they ever become a bigger club than Arsenal? Arsene was asked by Jeremy Wilson of […]
