Morning all. Next summer, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini, Tomas Rosicky and Joel Campbell are all out of contract. According to the Mail, Mikel Arteta has been offered a one year extension but as far as I know, none of the others have. Back in the summer, there were plenty of stories around which suggested that […]

Morning all. Did you expect that? I did, kind of, but I didn’t think we’d concede five! With our list of walking wounded, made worse by Bellerin and Koscielny joining it, things were always going to be tricky on a night when Bayern wanted revenge in front of their home fans. Scoring five goals in a […]
Morning all. What is wrong with some people? Raheem Sterling posted a lovely picture on Twitter of himself with his daughter and niece and the abuse he got, mainly from Liverpool fans, was absolutely disgusting! I thought, well, rather hoped, that in 2015, the world would be a much better place than it clearly is. […]
Morning all. We needed 3-0, we got 2-0 and were out of Europe…. Goals from Ollie and Koscielny gave us hope but as so often is the case in the Champions League, the result at home left us with a mountain to climb and back then, that mountain was far too steep. The same result […]
Morning all. Ok, slightly tongue in cheek but never say never in football. Like most, I’m enjoying watching the demise of Chelsea and whilst their number one keeper remains injured, Petr Cech is having a pretty good time. Who’d have thought Arsene Wenger would have finally signed him having tried but failed so many years ago. […]
Morning all. One has to feel sorry for Norwich. With the score at 1-1 with just minutes to go, a crazy moment by one of their defenders, which resulted in a red card and a City penalty, saw them lose. Darn, we could have done with them dropping more points. I’m sure they will though […]
Morning all. A few words from Laurent Koscielny to kick off with, taken from the monthly email sent out by the club: I think I lead by example on the pitch. The boys also know that if I’m not happy, I will go out at training and put big tackles in! They know that I […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been talking to the official site about his options available after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Aaron Ramsey on the injury list. In his eyes it’s a straight fight between Campbell and Iwobi. No mention of Flamini – phew and although Santi Cazorla is an option, the manager recognised that he’s far […]
Morning all. Not a good one either is it? Yesterday afternoon the newspapers reported that both Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be out for a while. All being well, they’ll be back after the next international break which means they’ll miss the London derby and of course, the crucial fixture against Bayern next week if such […]
Morning all. What on earth is that kit about? Why didn’t the team wear red and white bearing in mind Sheffield Wednesday were wearing a pretty dark coloured kit? Odd! During the day, Tony Pulis had said Serge Gnabry was not good enough to play for his West Brom side, before the day was over, […]
Morning all. The Capital One Cup is back tonight which means it’s time to rest most of the first team and introduce a few young faces together with a few old pros. I love nights like tonight, especially when the boys are on television as it’s a great chance for us all to see who’s fighting […]
Morning all. That was a pretty good weekend for Arsenal. Both Manchester sides dropped points, Southampton and Liverpool played out a draw and Chelsea lost again after which, Mourinho went into hiding. According to the media, the Portuguese Pygmy is on the brink of the sack and a loss against Liverpool this coming weekend would […]
