Last Champions League match for Arsene? With the pressure off, Arsenal might just cause a surprise…

Morning all. In theory tonight could be the managers last Champions League match as Arsenal manager regardless of what happens between now and the beginning of next season. Barcelona won’t surrender a two goal lead in front of their own fans and even if they were fragile in the defensive department, the chance of Arsenal […]

Arsene blames the fans! Mertesacker blames the strikers!

Morning all. It’s pretty much impossible to be positive these days. Arsenal fans are divided in their opinion over the managers position, fighting broke out after the game on Sunday and now players are blaming each other for the dreadful results on the pitch. Well, to be more precise, Mertesacker has suggested that the players […]

The Fat Lady is singing at the top of her voice….

Morning all. Just a few days ago Stan Kroenke said something along the lines of ‘if you want to win Championships, then you’d never get involved’. Well I wish he’d never got involved with Arsenal Football Club because ever since he became the majority shareholder, Arsenal have gone from bad to worse. I’m not knocking […]

Arsenal’s bid for Serie B striker rejected. Points dropped before Arsenal take on Watford in the FA Cup…

Morning all. Apparently Arsenal have made a £10 million bid for Umar Sadiq, a 19 year old 6′ 6″ Nigerian striker who is on loan at Roma from parent club Spezia Calcio. No, I’ve never heard of that club either. It’s in Italy’s Serie B league. He must be decent though for Roma to snap him up….. […]

Phew! All is not so bad.. Will Henry be the next Guardiola?

Morning all. Not sure what happened yesterday but please, let’s not start fighting amongst ourselves or flinging mud at each other just because we don’t agree. As for the AKB name calling, jeeze, that’s so old now and to be honest, quite boring. The ‘thanks for the memories’ banner – is it such a big […]

Ian Wright misses the point! Arsenal don’t miss their chances…..

Morning all. That first half was worse than watching paint dry. A mistake made by Hull’s Myler allowed Olivier Giroud in to finally break his goal drought just before half-time. The second half was marginally better but perhaps that’s because three further goals came along before the final whistle blew. Ollie ended with two as […]

Totts performance can spur us on! The most underrated Arsenal man?

Morning all. Sorry for my absence which I promise had nothing to do with Arsenal or the manager. Belated Happy Birthday to Ray Parlour who turned 43 years old yesterday. I doubt any of us will ever forget the ‘It’s only Ray Parlour’ comment by Tim Lovejoy just before the Englishman unleashed a super shot […]

Alexis speaks out – good! You said it Ivan Gazidis, so has that time come?

Morning all. Alexis Sanchez has said that this current side lacks ‘hunger’ in their challenge for the Premier League title which is all a bit odd really. ‘If we go out on to the pitch with hunger to become champions, to win the Premier League or the Champions League, we can achieve it,’ the Chilean […]

Santi Cazorla set-back. Criticism will motivate the team as will the many leaders in the camp..

Morning all. Santi Cazorla could be out for the rest of the season. Santi is not doing too well. He has some Achilles problems that hold him (back). His knee is doing well but his Achilles has inflamed a little bit and we have to put him off impact. It is a reaction to him coming […]

Gutless, toothless, yet so typical. Has Wenger got it in him to change things?

Morning all. There’s been plenty of dire performances this season but the performance at Old Trafford has to be the worst. Up against a side which not only has been poor this season but had nearly a dozen injuries, injuries which forced LvG to make changes. A makeshift back four which included Michael Carrick – […]
