Morning all. Well well. Arsenal are generating more money on match-days than any club in the world. They’ve even overtaken Chelsea as the top financial power in London for the first time in six years, according to figures released by Deloitte. Not only Chelsea though as The Emirates Stadium, which became Arsenal’s home in 2006, earns the […]

Morning all. So this is what Arsene Wenger calls a ‘busy’ transfer window, just one player signed in Mohammed Elneny. Not knocking the new man but when the manager made public he was going to be busy, I thought he’d have signed another player too by now especially when one considers Mathieu Debuchy is quite […]
Morning all. 2016 isn’t being kind to the music world is it. This morning news broke that the Eagles guitarist Glen Frey has passed away aged 67. The man behind Hotel California, Take it Easy and a number of other great hits will write no more. Such sad news. As is Dale Griffin passing too […]
Morning all. I’m pretty happy with that point, especially with our history at The Britannia Stadium and like most Arsenal fans, I believe the result at Anfield was more annoying and frustrating. Having led 3-2 only to concede so late in the game left the draw feeling like a loss. So many clubs have gone […]
Morning all. I think this fixture today is perhaps the biggest of the season so far. Arsenal and Arsene Wenger want to win the league, we fans want Arsenal to win the league but if there’s any chance of that happening, we really have to turn up at The Britannia Stadium, put in a solid […]
Morning all. I can still remember it now. The whistle had barely blown to start the game and Arsenal were 1-0 down at The Britannia Stadium. Ollie missed a header from just yards out to make the score even but before half-time arrived, it was 3-0 and we had been well and truly battered. 3-0 nearly […]
Morning all. Mohammed Elneny is clearly not a short-term fix. He’s young yet experienced, but of course he’s never experienced a fixture like a trip up North to face a bullish Stoke City side on a cold winters day. He may very do just that on Sunday though. Saying that, Switzerland is a cold country […]
Morning all. For the neutral, a great game, for an Arsenal fan, a bitter ending. Liverpool came out of the blocks hard and fast from the off, we were all over the place. A non existent midfield was soon clear to see and Liverpool loved it. The home team raced into the lead after some […]
Morning all. Liverpool tonight, an 8pm kick-off with live coverage on BT Sport. Jurgen Klopp snapped up Steve Caulker on loan yesterday as his defensive injury woes continue. A panic signing or just a smart move? Caulker couldn’t get a game for Southampton whilst on loan from QPR, in fact I think I’m right in […]
Morning all. Bolton, Bradford, Birmingham, Bayern Munich, Barcelona…. The list goes on. All at some stage have been a bogey side for us in the domestic and European cups. Last night we drew another ‘B’ in Burnley! At least it’s a home fixture which is always better but Burnley got through the last round with […]
Morning all. The music world has been shocked and deeply saddened this morning after the passing of David Bowie was announced. I’m stunned, he was part of my growing up, he was Mr Music when I was a kid and his voice will be missed by millions. Apparently he was spotted in Surrey early New […]
Morning all. Relying of a few highlights and a stream which when the rain fell and the wind blew, dropped out is tough. Even so, I saw enough to know that once again Martin Atkinson was nothing short of useless and how he is considered good enough to be officiating at the Euros in the […]
