Morning all. The 2015/16 is nearly over and I for one will be glad when it is. This season has been perhaps the most frustrating ever having watched so many clubs struggling, including and especially Arsenal. No doubt we fans won’t be the only ones believing our club missed a glorious chance to lift the […]

Morning all. Only one place to start really and that’s last night’s 2-2 result at Stamford Bridge, a result which turned Leicester City FC into Premier League champions. Well done to them, they deserve it. When Claudio Ranieri was appointed Leicester manager in the summer of 2015, many a footballing ‘expert’ raised their eyebrows. How […]
Morning all. Leicester couldn’t beat Utd at Old Trafford yesterday meaning the neighbours could still win the Premier League title but their chances are slim I’d say, if not, none. In fact if they don’t beat Chelsea tonight, that’s it, over. I always assumed it was only Arsenal fans who really disliked the other team in […]
Morning all. Protests before and after the match, a few posters raised on 12 & 78 minutes calling for the manager to leave, some wanted Kroenke out too. Then there was the snub between Alexis and Arsene Wenger when the Chilean was substituted which I thought was unnecessary, as was ignoring the fans. Mesut Ozil […]
Morning all. November 2015 seems like a long time ago now. Sunday 29th, Arsenal headed to Norwich for a 4.15pm kick off. A win and we’d have gone into second spot but it was one of those days when chances spurned cost us two points. Saying that, the home team spurned a few too and […]
Morning all. We lost the championship at home against the lower teams, but we played at home in a very difficult climate. We have to realise that, away from home, we are championship winners. At home, against the smaller teams, we lost the league. This club does have special values though and one I’ve experienced […]
Morning all. Yesterday was one day too many to be throwing praise at our neighbours and although they are clearly a better organised team than Arsenal right now, they can still give us all a chuckle quite frequently. Not so much this season of course but in years gone by but as many of us […]
Morning all. As much as I’m over the moon after West Brom held the neighbours to a draw last night which in all likelihood has put an end to their Premier League title hopes, I think Arsenal fans shouldn’t laugh too loudly because we were out of contention a long time ago. Mauricio Pochettino is […]
Morning all. I really can’t be bothered to write about yesterday’s match as it’s been said before, time after time. The excuses for Arsene Wenger are running out, no, run out. There’s been so many odd decisions made by the Frenchman of late, from splitting up a Coquelin/Elneny partnership which was doing pretty well, playing a […]
Morning all. Another three points are desperately needed this afternoon against a Sunderland side fighting for Premier League survival. Back in December, we beat them at The Emirates 3-1, a scoreline which didn’t really reflect the performance. We’d been through a tough November, one in which injuries hit us and results took a dive so […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been talking about his summer plans. Finish third or higher is his priority because he wants Champions League football secured to avoid any chance of the play off, especially as many players could be missing because of the Euros. Then he can plan for next season. Top four is not […]
Morning all. As far as securing third or even second place goes, that was a good result. The performance wasn’t too bad either, well, compared to what we’ve witnessed this year but why can’t Arsenal batter sides when they are there for battering? Last night the match should have been all but over by half-time […]
