Morning all. Arsenal fans favourite, David ‘Rocky’ Rocastle, lost his battle against non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma fifteen years ago today, aged just 33! Despite the number of years gone by, Arsenal fans young and old still miss him today…. In 1982, Rocky signed up for Arsenal Football Club as an apprentice and it wasn’t long before he […]

Morning all. As sad as it might be for Remi Garde, I’m quite pleased he’s been sacked. Harsh I know but had he done well and spared Aston Villa from relegation, I wouldn’t bet against the Arsenal hierarchy looking at him to replace Arsene Wenger. Young, French, not known to be a big spender and […]
Morning all. Whether Piers Morgan is telling the truth or trying to stir the pot I don’t know but he’s said that Arsene Wenger has a new three year contract on his desk and all the Frenchman needs to do is sign it if he wants to stay on beyond the summer of 2017. Morgan […]
Morning all. So it’s true, Arsenal fans really do need to be careful of what they wish for. The man I hoped would step in and make Stan Kroenke an offer for his shares which he couldn’t refuse, has shocked me to say the least. Why? Because he’s right behind Arsene Wenger and has publicly […]
Morning all. ‘He would never say it himself, but he is Dutch football.’ Those are the words of Dennis Bergkamp extracted from his book ‘Stillness and Speed’ and he is of course talking about the great Dutch footballer, Johan Cruyff, who so very sadly passed away yesterday. The footballing genius had been fighting Cancer but yet […]
Morning all. Well the voting yesterday was interesting even if it doesn’t reflect a true opinion. Surveys/Polls never do unless everyone votes and that will never happen on the internet. But, the general consensus is that the following players really need to leave this summer: Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini,, Tomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott and Yaya Sanogo. Arsene […]
Morning all. Just a bit of Football Manager today, so you’ve got a poll on which you can pick and choose who you’d like to see sold off in the summer.. [yop_poll id=”7″] And whilst your mulling that over, spare a thought for Alex Iwobi who having been called by Nigeria, has got food poisoning […]
Morning all. Dreadful goings on in Brussels this morning. At the time of writing, 23 people have fallen victim to an evil terrorist plot on the airport and Metro stations. My thoughts are with the people in the Belgium capital. Football goes on, football is another world altogether… 18 year old Kaylen Hinds who signed […]
Morning all. It’s always good to go into an international break after a victory but even a quality performance on Saturday still irritates. Not the performance but the fact is that had Arsene Wenger got this team playing in such a way all season, we’d all be thinking ‘the PL is in the bag’…. Seven games […]
Morning all. It’s taken a while but yesterday it finally arrived. A top performance all round against Everton, it really was. From Ospina through the team to Welbeck who led the line, every single player performed. Arsenal were quick with their passing and didn’t give the Everton players time on the ball forcing mistakes from the […]
Morning all. We’ve seen this team under perform, we’ve seen the manager sit back and do little about it and putting the two together has seen the worst string of results in years. Having been dumped out of both the Champions League and FA Cup and sitting too many points off of the top, one could […]
Morning all. 3-1 to Barca and we’re out of the Champions League again. No great surprise having conceded two away goal in the first leg. But what made the result so frustrating is that Arsenal had a few really good chances to not only go ahead in the game but to cause an upset but yet again, […]
