Morning all. Arsene Wenger made three changes to the side which beat Bayern Munich on Tuesday. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came in for the injured Aaron Ramsey and Gabriel replaced Per Mertesacker who had some kind of illness. I personally believe the change was due to the pace of Lukaku. Giroud started up front with Theo Walcott dropping to the […]

Morning all. LvG wants the Christmas fixtures cancelled so his players can have a party, celebrate the big occasion and of course, have a rest. Arsene Wenger however is dead against having a winter break and believes that as the Boxing Day fixtures kick-off, the whole world are watching. To suppress the game on Boxing […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Arsene Wenger who is 66 years old today. Talking of him, last Arsene he held an interview with FourFourTwo magazine highlighting how teams should best approach five-a-side and its correlation to the 11-a-side game. Here’s part of it which was written in the Daily Mail yesterday: If you watch five-a-side, most […]
Morning all. Bayern fans took to their seats five minutes into the game in protest against the high priced tickets. Arsenal fans applauded their actions…. We didn’t need Petr Cech back in the summer did we? Well not for the first time, the big goal keeper showed exactly why we did. He was outstanding last […]
With most Arsenal fans trying to make sense of the losses to both GNK Zagreb and Olympiacos in this Champions League campaign, one can’t help but wish that the unexpected results could turn out to be a blessing, enabling us to compete for the Premier League title. However, I would be extremely surprised if these performances […]
Morning all. I’m not overly fussed about tomorrow nights result but as Arsenal fans will be giving up their time and money to watch the boys play against one of the best sides in football, should we expect to see our strongest eleven up against Bayern? Our Champions League destination is in our own hands. Win all the […]
Morning all. Well that was a very different game to our last Premier League match and to be fair, we knew it would be. Watford don’t concede many goals at home and certainly not three in one match. Not until yesterday anyway. The home side were organised at the back, strong in midfield and up […]
Morning all. Just six points divide Arsenal in 2nd place and Watford, who sit 12th in the league. That’s how tight the Premiership race is this season. Today’s a tasty London derby, a potential tricky one for our boys. Watford were pretty much the whipping boys during their last spell in the top flight of football […]
Morning all. Yesterday’s AGM didn’t go as Sir Chips had probably hoped, not for him that’s for sure. A few tricky questions fired at him from the floor resulted in his refusal to provide an answer. Ouch! Not the best way to treat Arsenal fans really… Ivan Gazidis and Arsene Wenger however, were in fine […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Mesut Ozil. A few goals at the weekend would be a nice way to celebrate turning 27 years old. Alexis Sanchez has been quick to pour cold water over the rumours linking him with a return to Spain with Real Madrid. He’s been quoted in The Mirror saying: I’m very happy […]
Morning all. This international break is done and dusted and thank goodness for that! Have to say it’s been quite a boring two weeks and I’ve couldn’t even bothered to watch my own country play. Whether that’s because of the ‘minnows’ they’d had to play or whether like many, I’ve just lost interest in watching […]
Morning all. Not much news around again this morning. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored for England last night, Kieran Gibbs also played but thankfully, Theo Walcott sat the entire match out. As did Santi Cazorla for Spain. This international break concludes tonight, with Chile, Costa Rica, Wales, Czech Republic and Spain under 21’s all playing so plenty of Arsenal […]
