Morning all. Arsenal lost for a second time this season against a Newcastle side who scored once from a brilliant cross and header to match. Gabriel will be feeling disappointed to have let Isak get the better of him I’m sure but sometimes one just has to admire a really good goal. As much as […]

Morning all. When the rich and famous rolled into Newcastle Utd in October 2021, great things were expected from the northern club. At least that’s what the so called footballing experts told us. Great wealth, one of Englands best coaches in Eddie Howe, yes, Man City’s dominance in the Premier League was about to be […]
Getty Images. Morning all. Mikel Arteta didn’t really spring any surprises with his team selection last night. Setford, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Sterling, Martinelli, Jesus. Subs: Raya, Nichols, Lewis-Skelly, Heaven, Partey, Rice, Trossard, Saka, Havertz. I’m sure many of us would have liked to see Myles Lewis-Skelly start at left back but […]
Morning all. Have you heard the joke about the two hard of hearing guys who go into a pub, buy a beer each only to find out they’ve had to pay an extra fiver because there’s a live country and western band playing later in the evening? No, Google it, it’s funny albeit naughty.. Anyway, […]
Morning all. My answer to the heading is no, not really. We should have shown composure up front to win. Certainly in the first half when we were at our best. Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka made a more than welcome return to the side which meant Thomas Partey dropped into the right back position […]
Morning all. Other than their style of play, Liverpool are pretty much the same team of last season with only Chiesa arriving in the summer and even he’s not been fit enough to play. Jota has been ruled out today’s game through injury as have Alisson, Elliot and Bradley. The fast and furious football Klopp […]
Morning all. Arsenal face Liverpool tomorrow and it’s fair to say that in the past, regardless of whether the matches were played at Anfield or in north London, they’ve produced some classics. We’ve seen some of the worst defending too as well as some cracking goals. Here’s a few of the goals courtesy of Sky […]
Afternoon all. Jack Wilshere has left his role as head coach of Arsenal’s U18s side to join Norwich City in a first-team coaching role. Our old midfielder said that the opportunity to step up a level came at the “right time” in his career. Talking to Arsenal.com, Wilshere said: I’ve loved every minute of my […]
Morning all. Last night’s 1-0 defeat of Shakhtar could have been more convincing had scoring opportunities not been spurned. Three corners in the opening minutes of the game, the best opportunity to convert one of them fell to Riccardo Calafiori but he got his shot wrong. Leandro Trossard was the next to spurn not one […]
Morning all. Another day, another game. A day to hopefully put the performance against Bournemouth behind us and show what we as a club and team are all about. The reaction to Saturday’s game has been extreme in my opinion, certainly in the media. For the last two seasons we’ve been very good, too good […]
Morning all. A funny old weekend of football really and not in a comedic kind of way. Man City scored in the last minute of added time to secure a win over Wolves and Liverpool defeated Chelsea. Both games had moments of controversy. Stones’ goal was disallowed on-field due to Bernardo Silva being in an […]
Morning all. What is there to say other than Arsenal were the authors of their downfall yesterday evening. A terrible ball played by Leandro Trossard was read by Evanilson and as he tried to take advantage, William Saliba pulled him back and over. After showing the Frenchman a yellow card, the referee was sent to […]
