Alexis ‘tapping up’ Neymar? Would a big summer transfer window get fans back onside?

Morning all. Yesterday was one day too many to be throwing praise at our neighbours and although they are clearly a better organised team than Arsenal right now, they can still give us all a chuckle quite frequently. Not so much this season of course but in years gone by but as many of us […]

Arsenal fans shouldn’t laugh at Tottenham after they suffer blow in title challenge…

Morning all. As much as I’m over the moon after West Brom held the neighbours to a draw last night which in all likelihood has put an end to their Premier League title hopes, I think Arsenal fans shouldn’t laugh too loudly because we were out of contention a long time ago. Mauricio Pochettino is […]

Arsene Wenger contradicts himself after more dropped points…

Morning all. I really can’t be bothered to write about yesterday’s match as it’s been said before, time after time. The excuses for Arsene Wenger are running out, no, run out. There’s been so many odd decisions made by the Frenchman of late, from splitting up a Coquelin/Elneny partnership which was doing pretty well, playing a […]

This is when Arsene Wenger is at his best….

Morning all. Another three points are desperately needed this afternoon against a Sunderland side fighting for Premier League survival. Back in December, we beat them at The Emirates 3-1, a scoreline which didn’t really reflect the performance. We’d been through a tough November, one in which injuries hit us and results took a dive so […]

Oxlade-Chamberlain first out? Arsene Wenger confirms summer transfer plans…

Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been talking about his summer plans. Finish third or higher is his priority because he wants Champions League football secured to avoid any chance of the play off, especially as many players could be missing because of the Euros. Then he can plan for next season. Top four is not […]

Three valuable points. A quick look in the mirror will give you the answer Arsene…

Morning all. As far as securing third or even second place goes, that was a good result. The performance wasn’t too bad either, well, compared to what we’ve witnessed this year but why can’t Arsenal batter sides when they are there for battering? Last night the match should have been all but over by half-time […]

This is how it could be next season, Thursday nights, Sunday afternoons…

Morning all. So this is what it’s like playing in the Europa League, a Thursday evening fixture followed by one on Sunday. Well, that could be just around the corner for Arsenal if they don’t secure 2nd or 3rd spot and Liverpool win the Europa league. Fingers crossed they don’t eh, just because I don’t […]

Wenger could learn from Pardew. Frenchman confirms he’s staying put & Ticket sales plummet..

Morning all. So that’s the heading practice Arsene Wenger referred to last weekend when asked what the boys had been doing all week having allowed Andy Carroll so much freedom! What good will that do? Set the table a few feet higher and they might improve…. Seriously, I get the need for some down time […]

Alexis and Ozil off? Players and Coaches turning on Arsene Wenger?

Morning all. Few things hitting the headlines relating to Arsenal. Jack Wilshere took a knock last night during the Under 21’s loss to West Brom but thankfully for him, he got up and carried on. He scored too. Tomas Rosicky didn’t feature so he’s either injured again or he’s ready for a first team run […]

A Classic From Arsene Wenger. Three pushing for the first team return..

Morning all. Team news is out for Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Santi Cazorla could be back next week, well maybe but neither are involved in full training yet and according to the manager, they are still undergoing fitness work. Better news on Jack Wilshere, Serge Gnabry and Tomas Rosicky who after helping the under 21’s […]
