Morning all. Mikel Arteta named the same eleven which defeated Brighton last weekend for yesterday’s match against Liverpool and the guys started well. A free kick whipped in by Martin Odegaard saw Gabriel out jump the rest to head home. 1-0, the perfect start. Alexander Arnold hoofed a long ball up to Mo Salah, Oleksandr […]

Morning all. It’s a big one today. Liverpool v Arsenal at Anfield, 2nd V 1st. Liverpool don’t often draw at home let alone lose. Utd broke their winning run last weekend but that was more to do with Klopp’s team being terrible in front of goal rather than Utd putting in a top notch […]
Morning all. A statement from Arsenal FC this morning reads: Arsenal Football Club notes the judgement by the European Court of Justice on Thursday, 21 December 2023 and our position in relation to the European Super League has not changed. We will continue to play in UEFA competitions and continue to work with fellow European […]
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]Morning all. Manchester United went to Anfield at the weekend and nicked a point. Utd never really looked like scoring and had Liverpool been more efficient in front of goal, they’d have won. For Utd, the point was probably something to celebrate as they’re going through turmoil on and […]
Morning all. Arsenal v Brighton was expected to be tough match but in reality, it wasn’t. That’s not me being disrespectful to the visitors but giving praise for Mikel Arteta’s team. The possession stats ended being pretty even but Arsenal had 22 shots at the Brighton goal with 9 on target compared to the […]
Morning all. Firstly, Luton’s Tom Lockyer collapsed during their game with Bournemouth yesterday. He was stretched off, taken to hospital and later in the day he was confirmed to have suffered a cardiac arrest. The game was postponed, rightly so I hasten to add but thank goodness, the player is ok. I wish him well […]
Morning all. The FA and PL must have been spitting feathers when the independent Regulatory Commission found the charge against Mikel Arteta for an alleged breach of FA Rules following the Newcastle game to be unproven. I read though some of the report, longwinded as it was, and basically, Mikel Arteta was deemed to have […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta made eight changes to the team which played at the weekend. William Saliba, Gabriel and Kai Havertz started which is a shame but understandable as putting two inexperienced players in front of Aaron Ramsdale could have done them more harm than good. PSV are no mugs in football and they don’t […]
Morning all. Turkish football has hit rock bottom. Last night, Ankaragucu’s club president Faruk Koca punched referee Halil Umut Meler following his side’s 1-1 draw with Rizespor in Turkish Super Lig. Koca is set to be arrested, as are any others involved in the aftermath and domestic football in the country has been suspended indefinitely. […]
Morning all. After all the hype about Aston Villa, I thought we totally outplayed them yesterday. They did one thing better than us and that was to take one opportunity to score. For the rest of the match they barely troubled David Raya although there was one other strike from Ollie Watkins which Raya stopped […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta will be sat in the directors box for tonight’s match after he took his celebrations at Luton a step too far. Literally. As he said in his press conference, Albert Stuivenberg, Nicolas Jover and Carlos Cuesta will be working together in his place. Stuivenberg has stood in for Arteta before when […]
Morning all. Aston Villa battered Man City on Wednesday night in all bar the scoreline. The home team notched up a massive 22 shots on goal compared to Man City’s 2. Admittedly, only 7 of Villa’s 22 were in target but even so, that’s pretty impressive against the club tipped to win another League title. […]
