Morning all. With January transfer rumours flying around just about as fast as media outlets can cook them up, we have a nonstop game of fact-or-fiction on our hands. That’s par for the course this time of year, but it appears there’s at least one Arsenal rumour we can basically confirm as true, though the […]

Morning all. Two bits of news this morning. One most us already know and that’s Alexis Sanchez won’t be involved in tomorrows FA Cup match against Sunderland, the other being Chelsea are sniffing around Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Can’t say I’m overly fussed about the Alexis news as it’s better he makes a return when he’s 100% […]
Morning all. Changes are expected on Saturday as the manager rests a few first team players ahead of a trip to Anfield and Jeff Reine-Aderlaide is one of a few younger players tipped to get some playing time. With the Capital One Cup long gone for Arsenal, the FA Cup could be the only real […]
Morning all. Rumours coming out of France suggest Adrien Rabiot desperately wants to leave PSG in search of regular first team football. According to the back pages of London’s finest newspapers, both Arsenal and Tottenham would welcome the player on board. I’d imagine Rabiot is no different to many footballers who are not getting enough […]
Morning all. John Roberts passed away yesterday aged 69…. He was a railway fireman before taking up football and joined Arsenal from Northampton Town in April 1969 where he stayed for three years. During his time at the club, he helped Arsenal to win a league and FA Cup double in 1971. Sad to hear of another […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger after the scrappy victory over Newcastle: It is another aspect of your team that is tested in a game like that. You fight, not to concede a goal, not panic and wait for your chance. We were more questioned on that aspect than the way we play football, so it is good […]
Morning all. A dreadful afternoon on many levels. The persistent rainfall, the very underwhelming Arsenal performance and perhaps the most odd Arsenal display was from the manager himself. Since when did he sit in the dugout with a tracksuit on? Come on Arsene, get back to the suit and red tie, please! Perhaps the relaxed […]
Morning all. I’ve go no idea what to expect from Arsenal today or Newcastle really apart from Steve McClaren hinting that the best way to stop Arsenal and in particular, Mesut Ozil, is by playing tough and we all know what happened when Southampton played in such a fashion. That’s half the problem with this Arsenal […]
Morning all. 2015 was a pretty good year as far as Arsenal goes. No Champions League qualification required as we secured the dizzy heights of 3rd place in the league, another FA Cup won in style and finally, Arsene Wenger got one over Jose Mourinho in the Community Shield as the new season kicked off. […]
Morning all. What better way to see out 2015 than with Arsene Wenger muttering the words: We will be busy in the transfer window’… He even went onto say that he’s already busy.. I’m already busy and I said already one month ago we are a bit short to deal with all the competitions we […]
Morning all. That was the perfect result for us last night as City and Leicester played out a 0-0 draw which ensured we go into the New Year as league leaders but the season is only half way through and there’s a long way to go before we can start believing this is our time. […]
Morning all. A minutes applause. Fitting for a man who was so important to Arsenal. An Arsenal man, so important to football. Don Howe who passed away just a few days ago…… Well what a night that was. Not the 2-0 victory of course, although that result was most welcome, but the achievements of two […]
