Morning all. Arsene Wenger will begin the new season with just twelve months left on his contract. Over in Holland, Frank de Boer will be doing the same at Ajax. His agent is already suggesting the Dutchman is keen on a move to Spain or England but nothing has been set in stone. See where […]

Morning all. What could have, and probably should have been a title deciding fixture, yesterday’s trip to the Etihad was all about which club could secure Champions League football. Both clubs have had a poor season, City’s probably worse than ours considering the players in their squad but like Arsene Wenger, Manuel Pellegrini hasn’t been able to […]
Morning all. When Man City rocked up at The Emirates a few months ago with their star studded squad, they were sent packing with nothing. Two goals were enough that day to earn all three points against a side heavily tipped to win the league. Walcott and Giroud struck in the first half which proved […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger says he can’t simply make room for a new coach if there isn’t a slot available, yet on the other hand, he hands himself praise for allowing so many ex players the chance to obtain their coaching badges at the club and under his guidance. Not that Sol Campbell would agree, […]
Arsenal Moving Forward The Gunners. Does any other team in the Premier League possess a nickname so pertinent? Another season goes by where Arsenal have well and truly shot themselves in the foot. In a season where all of their major rivals have failed to deliver, Arsene Wenger’s side has joined them in pressing the […]
Morning all. Well well, who’d have thought that eh, an all Madrid Champions League Final. Sterling is lucky to be a man walking this morning after the horror tackle on him but hey, Madrid going down to ten men may have given Man City a sniff, although not registering a shot on target all game, […]
Morning all. The 2015/16 is nearly over and I for one will be glad when it is. This season has been perhaps the most frustrating ever having watched so many clubs struggling, including and especially Arsenal. No doubt we fans won’t be the only ones believing our club missed a glorious chance to lift the […]
Morning all. Only one place to start really and that’s last night’s 2-2 result at Stamford Bridge, a result which turned Leicester City FC into Premier League champions. Well done to them, they deserve it. When Claudio Ranieri was appointed Leicester manager in the summer of 2015, many a footballing ‘expert’ raised their eyebrows. How […]
Morning all. Leicester couldn’t beat Utd at Old Trafford yesterday meaning the neighbours could still win the Premier League title but their chances are slim I’d say, if not, none. In fact if they don’t beat Chelsea tonight, that’s it, over. I always assumed it was only Arsenal fans who really disliked the other team in […]
Morning all. Protests before and after the match, a few posters raised on 12 & 78 minutes calling for the manager to leave, some wanted Kroenke out too. Then there was the snub between Alexis and Arsene Wenger when the Chilean was substituted which I thought was unnecessary, as was ignoring the fans. Mesut Ozil […]
Morning all. November 2015 seems like a long time ago now. Sunday 29th, Arsenal headed to Norwich for a 4.15pm kick off. A win and we’d have gone into second spot but it was one of those days when chances spurned cost us two points. Saying that, the home team spurned a few too and […]
Morning all. We lost the championship at home against the lower teams, but we played at home in a very difficult climate. We have to realise that, away from home, we are championship winners. At home, against the smaller teams, we lost the league. This club does have special values though and one I’ve experienced […]
