Happy Boxing Day. Morning all. That’s Christmas over for another year. Such a shame the day goes by so quickly really as no sooner I’d eaten, watched the Queens speech and walked Fido, darkness arrived…. Boxing Day – I know the day has nothing to do with two people jumping into a ring and battering […]

Morning all. Ever wondered whether Arsene Wenger is generous at Christmas? Well, Martin Keown did a ‘question time’ in the Daily Mail and thanks to that very question being asked by someone called Matt, here’s your answer: Wenger can definitely be quite festive, he’s certainly not a scrooge. I think he saw Christmas as […]
Morning all. Sad news broke yesterday with the passing of Don Howe, aged 80. Arsenal player, coach and ‘stand in’ manager in years gone by and a man regarded by many as one of the best coaches ever in England. Don Howe was Bertie Mee’s assistant manager during Arsenal’s 1971 Double success….. There’s a really nice piece […]
Morning all. With Christmas Day nearly upon us, it’s a busy time for all, so don’t expect a lot from me over the next few days. I’ve brussels to peel, potatoes and parsnips too and unlike most of you who’ll just stick a bird in the oven, I’ve got to work out which veggie alternative […]
Morning all. No sooner have the Chelsea players clubbed together in order to get their manager the sack, a few hundred miles away in Manchester, the Utd players appear to be doing something similar. Another defeat on Saturday leaves LvG hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons and apparently, he’s just one game away […]
Morning all. Spring is not far away as today is the shortest day of the year. Hoorah! The transfer window is not far away either, just ten days to be precise and there’s a few headlines going around this morning which suggest Arsene Wenger is ready to get stuck into the January transfer window and early! […]
Morning all. Back in 2003, David Seaman finally left Arsenal having been released. He was snapped up by Kevin Keegan who was then the manager of Man City but it wasn’t long before the big guy ditched his gloves for good as injury forced him to retire. Jens Lehmann took his place and to be […]
Morning all. It’s that time of year when footballers all over the world pop into hospitals and brighten the day for many young children who are very poorly. Some, if not all will spend their Christmas in hospital unlike so many others who will be at home with their families having a great time. Our […]
Morning all. From the ‘Special One’ to the ‘Happy One’, to the ‘Sacked One’! I had a chuckle, that’s for sure but I don’t want to give that under tall, horrid man much airtime as he’s not worth it, but I have mixed emotions about his sacking. On one hand I’m thrilled he’s gone as no […]
Morning all. In a weeks time, we’ll all be getting ready for the big man to climb down the chimney. Best I don’t light my log burner that day eh, don’t want the poor chap burning his big white beard, or anything else for that matter. Kids stockings will be filled, presents wrapped, mince pies left out […]
Morning all. Having heard yesterday that Danny Welbeck won’t be back playing football until at least February, the news which suggests Santi Cazorla might not return as soon as expected isn’t at all good. He’s been quoted as saying: I have to be ready mentally to work and hopefully I can shorten the recovery time […]
Morning all. So the Champions League draw did us little favours, but so what… Last year it did and look what happened. Most thought we’d progress but we didn’t because we cocked things up at home so who knows what might happen in February. Yes Barca can brag about having a wicked attacking force but […]
