Morning all. So it’s true, Arsenal fans really do need to be careful of what they wish for. The man I hoped would step in and make Stan Kroenke an offer for his shares which he couldn’t refuse, has shocked me to say the least. Why? Because he’s right behind Arsene Wenger and has publicly […]

Morning all. ‘He would never say it himself, but he is Dutch football.’ Those are the words of Dennis Bergkamp extracted from his book ‘Stillness and Speed’ and he is of course talking about the great Dutch footballer, Johan Cruyff, who so very sadly passed away yesterday. The footballing genius had been fighting Cancer but yet […]
Morning all. Well the voting yesterday was interesting even if it doesn’t reflect a true opinion. Surveys/Polls never do unless everyone votes and that will never happen on the internet. But, the general consensus is that the following players really need to leave this summer: Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini,, Tomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott and Yaya Sanogo. Arsene […]
Morning all. Just a bit of Football Manager today, so you’ve got a poll on which you can pick and choose who you’d like to see sold off in the summer.. [yop_poll id=”7″] And whilst your mulling that over, spare a thought for Alex Iwobi who having been called by Nigeria, has got food poisoning […]
Morning all. Dreadful goings on in Brussels this morning. At the time of writing, 23 people have fallen victim to an evil terrorist plot on the airport and Metro stations. My thoughts are with the people in the Belgium capital. Football goes on, football is another world altogether… 18 year old Kaylen Hinds who signed […]
Morning all. It’s always good to go into an international break after a victory but even a quality performance on Saturday still irritates. Not the performance but the fact is that had Arsene Wenger got this team playing in such a way all season, we’d all be thinking ‘the PL is in the bag’…. Seven games […]
Morning all. It’s taken a while but yesterday it finally arrived. A top performance all round against Everton, it really was. From Ospina through the team to Welbeck who led the line, every single player performed. Arsenal were quick with their passing and didn’t give the Everton players time on the ball forcing mistakes from the […]
Morning all. We’ve seen this team under perform, we’ve seen the manager sit back and do little about it and putting the two together has seen the worst string of results in years. Having been dumped out of both the Champions League and FA Cup and sitting too many points off of the top, one could […]
Morning all. 3-1 to Barca and we’re out of the Champions League again. No great surprise having conceded two away goal in the first leg. But what made the result so frustrating is that Arsenal had a few really good chances to not only go ahead in the game but to cause an upset but yet again, […]
Morning all. In theory tonight could be the managers last Champions League match as Arsenal manager regardless of what happens between now and the beginning of next season. Barcelona won’t surrender a two goal lead in front of their own fans and even if they were fragile in the defensive department, the chance of Arsenal […]
Morning all. It’s pretty much impossible to be positive these days. Arsenal fans are divided in their opinion over the managers position, fighting broke out after the game on Sunday and now players are blaming each other for the dreadful results on the pitch. Well, to be more precise, Mertesacker has suggested that the players […]
Morning all. Just a few days ago Stan Kroenke said something along the lines of ‘if you want to win Championships, then you’d never get involved’. Well I wish he’d never got involved with Arsenal Football Club because ever since he became the majority shareholder, Arsenal have gone from bad to worse. I’m not knocking […]
