Morning all. Not a good one either is it? To lose both Mertesacker and Koscielny prior to kick-off was a massive double blow. Chambers and Gabriel came in and yet again, Walcott was on the bench as was Oxlade-Chamberlain which I found quite odd. Pace – gone….. The first half was awful for many reasons. […]

Morning all. Happy birthday to ‘It’s up for grabs now’ hero, Michael Thomas. He’s 48 years old and shares his birthday with Vic Akers. The latter is slightly older…. Did you know he’s been at Arsenal since 1984? Man City looked good yesterday and I can’t help feeling a tad envious of their squad. Watching Aguero, Silva, Toure, […]
Morning all. Yesterday saw a few odd results in the PL. West Ham, yes, the side we lost to so easily on the opening day of the season were beaten at home by newly promoted Bournemouth. Totts were held 1-1 by Leicester and Utd drew 0-0 at home against Newcastle. Swansea dropped two points at […]
Morning all. Monday night football – it’s boring and takes too long to come around. Big match for us too as Brenda brings his ‘new look’ side to the Capital of London. Unlike Arsene Wenger, he’s been spending money like a kid in a sweet shop, just like he did last summer. This time though […]
Morning all… Five years, where have they gone? I can still remember the hesitation I had when deciding to branch out in my own with Highbury House and it seems like just yesterday… I say I’m on my own but I’m not really as Wath is seldom far away and his input has been crucial, […]
Morning all. Headlines, what are they all about? Clicks, hits and money making or just plain rubbish to get us sucked into believing…. The latest relates to Alex Song. The player many Arsenal fans celebrated his leaving when Barcelona so foolishly coughed up £15 million…. Arsene Wenger must have been laughing all the way to […]
Morning all. This is the best group of players in terms of numbers and quality that we have had for many, many years. – the captain told the Arsenal Weekly podcast. The unity we have is really good as a group. The cohesion we have around the club and with the fans is probably the […]
Morning all. Not a lot of news around really. There’s stories about Cavani and how he could become an Arsenal player any day soon but as we all know, what’s written and what’s factual are two very different things. I’ve stolen these factoids from Lee’s comment this morning, I know he won’t mind…. Most chances […]
Morning all. We’re off the mark. Three points in the bag and boom, up the table we have gone. Hey, we even sit above that classless club from West London, so all’s good… And wasn’t it great watching that pile of poop get thumped 3-0 by City and then listening to the Pygmy trying to justify […]
Morning all… We had a good continuity before the end of the season and we think that our cohesive aspect has been maintained. It’s not one game that should change our ambition, our objective, we just want to come back to our best level. – Arsène Wenger Last weekend was awful, Arsenal were awful, pretty […]
Morning all. Francis Coquelin, a player who has taken more than his fair share of criticism following last Sunday’s dreadful performance is the latest player to pass comment on the Arsenal Player: It’s been a wake-up call for everyone. Considering the recent results we had before that, going really well in pre-season, it’s disappointing and […]
Morning all. We need a winger don’t we? One with experience who can play left or right? One who pops up with a few goals each season because goals win games and we don’t score enough. We create chances that’s for sure but having a player who gets to the right place at the right time […]
