Morning all. I think this fixture today is perhaps the biggest of the season so far. Arsenal and Arsene Wenger want to win the league, we fans want Arsenal to win the league but if there’s any chance of that happening, we really have to turn up at The Britannia Stadium, put in a solid […]

Morning all. I can still remember it now. The whistle had barely blown to start the game and Arsenal were 1-0 down at The Britannia Stadium. Ollie missed a header from just yards out to make the score even but before half-time arrived, it was 3-0 and we had been well and truly battered. 3-0 nearly […]
Morning all. Mohammed Elneny is clearly not a short-term fix. He’s young yet experienced, but of course he’s never experienced a fixture like a trip up North to face a bullish Stoke City side on a cold winters day. He may very do just that on Sunday though. Saying that, Switzerland is a cold country […]
Morning all. For the neutral, a great game, for an Arsenal fan, a bitter ending. Liverpool came out of the blocks hard and fast from the off, we were all over the place. A non existent midfield was soon clear to see and Liverpool loved it. The home team raced into the lead after some […]
Morning all. Liverpool tonight, an 8pm kick-off with live coverage on BT Sport. Jurgen Klopp snapped up Steve Caulker on loan yesterday as his defensive injury woes continue. A panic signing or just a smart move? Caulker couldn’t get a game for Southampton whilst on loan from QPR, in fact I think I’m right in […]
Morning all. Bolton, Bradford, Birmingham, Bayern Munich, Barcelona…. The list goes on. All at some stage have been a bogey side for us in the domestic and European cups. Last night we drew another ‘B’ in Burnley! At least it’s a home fixture which is always better but Burnley got through the last round with […]
Morning all. The music world has been shocked and deeply saddened this morning after the passing of David Bowie was announced. I’m stunned, he was part of my growing up, he was Mr Music when I was a kid and his voice will be missed by millions. Apparently he was spotted in Surrey early New […]
Morning all. Relying of a few highlights and a stream which when the rain fell and the wind blew, dropped out is tough. Even so, I saw enough to know that once again Martin Atkinson was nothing short of useless and how he is considered good enough to be officiating at the Euros in the […]
Morning all. With January transfer rumours flying around just about as fast as media outlets can cook them up, we have a nonstop game of fact-or-fiction on our hands. That’s par for the course this time of year, but it appears there’s at least one Arsenal rumour we can basically confirm as true, though the […]
Morning all. Two bits of news this morning. One most us already know and that’s Alexis Sanchez won’t be involved in tomorrows FA Cup match against Sunderland, the other being Chelsea are sniffing around Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Can’t say I’m overly fussed about the Alexis news as it’s better he makes a return when he’s 100% […]
Morning all. Changes are expected on Saturday as the manager rests a few first team players ahead of a trip to Anfield and Jeff Reine-Aderlaide is one of a few younger players tipped to get some playing time. With the Capital One Cup long gone for Arsenal, the FA Cup could be the only real […]
Morning all. Rumours coming out of France suggest Adrien Rabiot desperately wants to leave PSG in search of regular first team football. According to the back pages of London’s finest newspapers, both Arsenal and Tottenham would welcome the player on board. I’d imagine Rabiot is no different to many footballers who are not getting enough […]
