Morning all. I touched on the summer Olympics a few days ago with Alex Iwobi set to be heavily involved for Nigeria. Well there’s other players who could be missing too, not only from pre-season, but the start of the new campaign too. Serge Gnabry should be involved for Germany and Damian Martinez is expected to […]

Morning all. Mesut Ozil, one of the best players we’ve had at Arsenal for a while, well, him and Alexis on the attacking front. Ok, Alexis hadn’t produced the kind of football he did last season but perhaps that’s down to his busy summer, little to no preseason and then playing a few too many […]
Morning all. What an odd weekend of sport that was and outside the world of football, it was great. A young teenager won the Grand National against all the odds and then in the early hours of this morning, Danny Willett did what no British golfer has done in twenty years as he walked away […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger sprung a surprise yesterday with David Ospina keeping his place in goal when Petr Cech is back fit and healthy. The same side which beat Watford last weekend started at Upton Park in what was Arsenal’s last ever visit to the stadium. It wasn’t long before Ospina was beaten, but a correctly raised linesman’s […]
Morning all. The mind boggles when reading a story like the one below about Theo Walcott who has reportedly been told by Arsene Wenger that the time has come for him to finally decide on his best position. Ten years he’s been at Arsenal, a period of time which has seen his wages increase to a whopping […]
Morning all. Big weekend as far as the title race goes as any of the top four sides could drop points. Arsenal kick things off at lunchtime tomorrow with a tricky trip to West Ham but there’s no reason why this team can’t get one over the club which beat us on the opening day […]
Morning all. I got it wrong about Jack, he wasn’t due in for training on the day after his Cafe Paris night out and according to Le Boss, the media got it wrong too. They’ve blown it all out of proportion says the manager but on the flip side, both he and Jack have had […]
Morning all. The Under 18’s were knocked out of the FA Cup last night after being beaten by Man City. I didn’t get to see the game but reading the reports in the media, a few young Gunners had a good game, especially Chris Willock. Both he and Donyell Malen scored for Arsenal but having […]
Morning all. Jacks list of bloopers: 2010 Arrested for assault after a brawl outside a nightclub and eventually cautioned. 2011 Accepted a police warning after attempting to spit on a taxi driver wearing a Tottenham Hotspur hat. 2012 Warned by UEFA after tweeting about betting during an Arsenal Champions League match. 2013 Banned for two games after making […]
Morning all. Like a flickering candle in the wind Arsenal kept their faint hopes of the title alive. On the last day of the week which saw Ozil state the obvious and Wenger taking him to task for doing so, Arsenal responded by hammering four past Watford. Arsenal lined up with a good keeper, four […]
Morning all. Arsenal couldn’t beat today’s opposition in the FA Cup quarter-final, but can they get some kind of revenge for that defeat today? The team dominated the first half of that match, certainly as far as possession goes but as so often, chances in front of goal were spurned. Mohamed Elneny twice fired over the […]
Morning all. Wouldn’t that be the prefect Friday morning headline? Can you imagine waking up this morning, the date not being the 1st of April with the Frenchman announcing he was ready to leave at the end of the season. I think many fans would be thrilled but many would also be sad and disappointed […]
