Referee’s showing consistency. No foul by Drinkwater & The late late Danny show.

Morning all. What a game that was. It had pretty much everything from a good penalty shout from Arsenal turned down, a dubious one given to Leicester and a few strong challenges passing by Martin Atkinson as usual. Two cracking goals in the second half, with one right at the death… An early foul by Danny […]

Big game today and Ranieri knows how to beat Wenger in the big games…

Morning all. When it comes to Arsene Wenger v Claudio Ranieri, the Frenchman often wins in the domestic challenge but back in 2004, it was the Italian who came out on top in the Champions League quarter-final when Wayne Bridge popped up late in the game to knock Arsenal out. That hurt didn’t it! That […]

Arsene Wenger trying to defend the indefensible?

Morning all. Arsene Wenger thinks the price charged by Arsenal for season tickets and tickets in general are fair. Well, by looking at the table above which has been pinched from The Daily Mail, perhaps his view is blinkered, and that’s being kind. We pay absolutely everything ourselves so we have to generate more revenue. It […]

OC wants out? Arsenal sign the wrong man? Kroenke finally invests, but not in Arsenal.

Morning all. Over the years, Arsene Wenger has disappointed fans with some of his player signings. Not always of course as looking back to the better days under his management, an awful lot of players were outstanding footballers. Too many to mention really but I think we all know who I mean… That’s not always […]

Is Henry trying to push Arsenal home? Arsenal nick Leicester’s main man….

Morning all. So Leicester are Thierry’s team to win the league. They have the mental strength, the ability and above all, they know how to deal with the pressure. Such qualities should see them crowned champions…. His old club however, well they lack bottle, they can’t score goals and they can’t win the tough matches […]

Arsene Wenger is right for once. Worst Arsenal record since 1998/99.

Morning all. A club close to relegation last season, employed a new manager in the summer and spent less than Wenger has done over the last two transfer windows to assemble a good squad. A squad which ripped Man City apart on their own turf! Leicester aren’t a big club, not when it comes to finances […]

A sad farewell, or one last hoorah? Swift backtrack but has the damage already been done?

Morning all. Tomas Rosicky, one of the most gifted midfielder’s Arsenal have had in recent years, looks to have played his last match for the club. He’s been ruled out for three months after playing on with an injury during last weekends match against Burnley. He wouldn’t come off as Arsene Wenger had used all […]

It is what it is, so get on with it. Theo Walcott wants the team to work harder, hmm, that’s a bit rich….

Morning all. So the biggest news yesterday was the announcement by Man City. Pep Guardiola will be their new manager when the 2016/17 season kicks off. Yawn, most thought that would be the case anyway so no great surprise. At least now we know he’s not heading to Arsenal, not that that will please a […]
