Morning all. Jack Wilshere turned out for England last night in a friendly against Turkey and what a rough lot they were. Poor Jack was targeted more than once and when he was floored, laying clutching his ankle on the 37th minute I thought that was it. Thankfully not, he was soon up and carried on. England […]

Morning all. We all know Pep Guardiola is heading to Man City as this summer. Some fans believe he’ll struggle to adapt to the game here in England, especially when he faces clubs who park a bus in defence, or managers who deploy ‘rough’ tactics and let’s be honest, there’s a few who do both. […]

Morning all. There’s a really good article in The Daily Mail this morning. Mikel Arteta, Hector Bellerin and Gaizka Mendieta discuss how Spanish players have adapted to life in the Premier League, their time in England and where they see themselves in the future. Guillem Balague sat down with the three of them for an exclusive interview. At […]
Morning all. I’m not a season ticket holder and at best, I get to The Emirates two or three times a season. Not great but it’s the best I can do and I usually come away with a bit of a sore throat from cheering the team on. Whether I’d be in the same frame […]
Morning all. Just as I thought summer was on it’s way, this mornings weather suggests it’s not. Miserable! A bit like my mood really as the very thought of Olivier Giroud again being our main striker next season just doesn’t thrill me at all. Neither do the reports out this morning which suggest Theo Walcott […]
Written by Tamhas Woods Arsenal’s eighteenth consecutive season as a participant in the UEFA Champions League has drawn to a close with a shadow of disunity still in force around the club. This impressive number of consecutive appearances is down to only one man, Arsene Wenger, yet he has been one of the most divisive […]
Morning all. What a great afternoon. After taking an early lead, it looked like Villa were in for a thumping and by the end, that’s exactly what they got but the first half wasn’t the best. At St James Park, Newcastle went 1-0 up, the Arsenal fans started to hope, when news filtered through that […]
Morning all. Only one place to start and that’s the Women’s FA Cup Final. An outstanding goal by Dan Carter was enough to seal victory for Arsenal. That’s 14 FA Cup final trophies in the cabinet, a record in the competition. I thought our girls totally outplayed the favourites Chelsea and if it wasn’t for being […]
Morning all. Arsenal FC are keeping up the trend of reaching the FA Cup Final but this time around it’s the ladies battling it out for the big trophy. They face Chelsea today at Wembley. 35,000 fans are expected to attend the match today which is great and shows progress in being made in the the women’s […]
Morning all. Friday the 13th brings bad luck doesn’t it, or it can do if you believe in all that jazz. I don’t personally so it’s just Friday in my world. However, the back page of The Times have dropped a bombshell this morning. Stan Kroenke wants Arsene Wenger to sign a two year […]
Morning all. My heart goes out to Danny Welbeck, it really does. Having only returned from injury a few weeks ago, he’s out for another nine months which means we won’t see him in an Arsenal shirt again until early 2017! Darn! What is it about Arsenal and injuries? When you look back at seasons […]
