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 […]
Morning all. Ronald Koeman has told Jose Mourinho that he should take football lessons from his nemesis Arsene Wenger. That is according to Mirror Football’s Simon Mullock. The Southampton boss believes Chelsea have lost their killer instinct by choosing to defend rather than attack during matches. He should know, his Southampton side battered Chelsea at the […]
Morning all. Bored with international football? Me too! According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Gerard Pique has confessed to a bit of naughtiness whilst at Man Utd and he’s dropped our old captain in the mire too: Cesc was a pioneer to go to London at 16 years of age and then others went and he was […]
Morning all. Question of the day. Should the word ‘Arsenal’s’ have an apostrophe? I checked Word and each option I checked, ‘your good to go’ popped up. Still confused, I thought I’d check how it’s spelt in the Telegraph as they are pretty good for punctuation and there it was, ‘Arsenal’s’ so I went with […]
Arsenal and transfers have long been uncomfortable bedfellows. This is something that seems very much part of the clubs DNA, probably stemming from its origins in the dark mists of time and its struggles as a Southern outpost of the embryonic Football League in Woolwich, Kent. Back in the days, over a 100 years ago, […]
Morning all. Big Brother is watching me. I made a few errors in yesterdays post and I’ve had my knuckles slapped. Darn those missing comas and a couple of words!! I’ve read far worse elsewhere but I know that doesn’t make it right. I’ve let my standards slip but I’ll try harder, I promise. Sorry […]
Morning all. On Friday, Arsene Wenger threatened to walk out on a press conference for the first time during his time as Arsenal manager I think. It was clear he was stressed, it was clear he was pretty pissed off with the questions being asked and I’m not surprised. The press have an agenda, they don’t […]
Morning all. Still smiling? Me too and why not? Performances like Sunday’s have been few and far between, especially against Utd, who were at the time sitting pretty at the top of the league.. The standard of football has been set now and the players have no excuse for not putting in the same work […]
Morning all. Where to start after that weekend of Premier League football? Man City had a great result, Aguero was on fire. Mourinho had to sit and watch his side get a battering by Southampton, Liverpool dropped two points against Everton and promptly sacked their manager and Dick Advocaat decided enough was enough and jumped […]
Morning all. Apparently, Arsene Wenger has his eye on signing Ajax’s Viktor Fischer. The 21 year old winger has scored 5 goals in 13 matches for his club and is valued around the £10m mark. He suffered a hamstring injury back in 2014 which kept him out of the game for nearly a year having […]
Morning all. LvG is a confident man ahead of our fixture tomorrow: ‘I think the balance in our selection is much better than last year, so I believe in that. But the most important thing is not only that I believe, but that the players are believing in that. When we win at Arsenal the belief […]
