Morning all. Football throws up strange results over a season, after all, who’d have thought Arsenal, with a number of injuries, would have beaten Real Madrid as comfortably as they did? Who’d have thought Man Utd and Totts are set to finish nearer the bottom of the league table than the top, or indeed, […]

Morning all. We needed a win and we got one. 2nd place is ours barring something crazy happening which let’s be honest, isn’t going to. Man City can mathematically overtake us but only if we lose our final game and they win their last two. Even if that scenario played out, City would […]
Morning all. Arsenal play their final home game of the season today. The sun will be shining, the fans in a good mood, no doubt hoping to see the team take three points off of Newcastle United. Both clubs need points to secure Champions League football next season. A win for Mikel Arteta’s team […]
Morning all. It’s FA Cup Final day today and I feel kind of sad that Arsenal aren’t in it. I think back to the days of Arsene Wenger and when Arsenal playing at Wembley was a regular thing. Seven of the fourteen FA Cup trophies Arsenal have in the trophy cabinet came during […]
Morning all. The boys are back in training, nearly all of them I mean. Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Declan Rice – who were expected to miss this Sunday’s final home fixture of the season, were involved in the clubs open training session. Leandro Trossard was snapped in his kit which hopefully means […]
Morning all. I watched Sunderland v Coventry last night. The game was the second leg of the playoffs with a final at Wembley for the winners along with an opportunity to make it into the Premier League. Ex Arsenal academy player Daniel Ballard scored Sunderland’s winner in the dying seconds of extra time. The […]
Morning all. Social media was awash with criticism of Myles Lewis-Skelly because he didn’t clap as the Liverpool players walked through their guard of honour. Bearing in mind the home fans took to booing Alexander-Arnold when he came on, I think their comments on Lewis-Skelly were/are a bit rich. But that’s their […]
Morning all. Southampton did us a bit of a favour yesterday afternoon by playing out a draw against Man City. We’re still be in second place regardless of what happens later this afternoon but then we will in all likelihood, need maximum points from our final two fixtures. In today’s matches, Newcastle Utd and […]
Morning all. Feeling a bit flat, deflated? Yes, me too. At least Mikel Arteta has been honest about our domestic season by admitting we’ve gone backwards. Mind you, the league table doesn’t lie does it and neither does our points tally. We’ve been well off the race for quite a while now. […]
Morning all. So that’s it then, another season gone by without winning anything which is disappointing but always likely perhaps. The difference between Arsenal and PSG last was in front of goal. They took their opportunities whereas we didn’t. Had we done so, the tie would have been turned on its head […]
Morning all. Last nights Champions League semi-final second leg between Inter Milan and Barcelona served up a treat for anyone who loves the game. Other than Barcelona fans of course. Both ties have been entertaining and going into the game, honours were even. Inter went 2-0 up, Barcelona fought back to 3-2 with a […]
Morning all. Regression – not for the first time post Christmas I’ve read regression and Arsenal in the same sentence. Is it justified though, have Arsenal regressed this season? The season before last, having been in a strong position to win the league, we sleepwalked through the final few weeks of the campaign to […]
