Morning all. I feel a bit flat, disappointed, yet not surprised. After all the chat about how the club are trying hard to sign reinforcements after suffering injuries to both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal did nothing during this transfer window. The frustrating thing is, we needed a goal scorer before those […]

Morning all. What a great Sunday it was for Arsenal football club. It started at lunchtime when thanks to goals from Mariona Caldenty, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius, Arsenal’s women beat Man City 4-3 at The Etihad. Two of City’s three goals came from the penalty spot, […]
Morning all. How many times have you and I heard pundits say “there’s not enough contact for me” after one of our players has been fouled in the opposition box? Too many to recall. This morning I saw the penalty Liverpool were awarded against Bournemouth and it has to be up there with some […]
Morning all. Back in the old days, it was Arsene Wenger against Fergie, Arsenal against Manchester United. The game football waited for each season, certainly during Arsene’s first ten seasons at the club. These days though, it’s the blue side of Manchester v Arsenal which is hogging the pre match weekend headlines. […]
Morning all. Arsenal have been charged by the FA for failing to ensure their players “did not behave in an improper manner”. Arsenal can appeal this charge of course and why not, it’s not like other club players act in a similar way yet go unpunished. Of course it’s not good […]
Morning all. Yesterday afternoon, Sky Sports reported that Arsenal had made a £60 odd million offer for Villa’s Ollie Watkins. The offer was rapidly rejected. £60 million is a lot of money for a player who turns 30 years old in December but Arsenal are expected to up their offer. Part of me […]
Morning all. Well that didn’t take long did it? News of Arsenal’s appeal came out yesterday lunchtime and by dinner time, the red card shown to MLS at the weekend, was rescinded. Rightly so too. Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol: I think it just proves that the systems we’ve already got […]
Afternoon all. The big news this lunchtime is that Arsenal have appealed the red card Michael Oliver couldn’t wait to show Myles Lewis-Skelly. Now it’s over to the FA to apply some common sense. Look at the decision made on the day and not all the photos or slow motion videos which have been […]
Morning all. I detest the PGMOL, probably as much as most Arsenal fans and a lot of football fans in general. From the outside, it seems little more than a group of men, most of which were born in the north of England, picking and choosing which games to officiate, looking out for […]
Morning all. For many years we’ve suspected the PGMOL, as they’re called now, have been anti Arsenal. Some less than others for sure but there are a handful who I’d be more than happy if they were never involved in an Arsenal match again. Michael Oliver and the chumps operating VAR […]
Morning all. Arsenal face Wolves this afternoon so unless Matheus Cunha is in the naughty corner for some reason, he’ll be up against a club which is apparently trying to sign him. When asked about the threat the Brazilian poses, Mikel Arteta refused to talk about individuals. Wolves sit one place off the […]
Morning all. Last nights game against Dinamo Zagreb couldn’t have started any better than it did for Arsenal as with just over a minute into the game, Declan Rice hammered home our first goal of the match. Gabriel Martinelli played the ball into Kai Havertz inside the box, the big German knocked the […]
