Morning all. Back 1992 and on this very day, Arsenal fans far and wide shed a tear. The boys faced Southampton and battered them 5-1 with Smudger and Campbell scoring a goal each. Wrighty got the other three to pip Gary Lineker to the Golden Boot award…. The North Bank terrace was to be knocked down […]

Morning all. It’s the 1st of May today, the beginning of the final month in this 2014/15 Premier League campaign and Arsenal are on the cusp of doing something they haven’t done for a long time and that’s avoid an early Champions League qualifying fixture. Oh, and finish the season with a nearly fully fit […]
Morning all. I like Danny Welbeck, a lot. I love his work ethic and any player who has the balls to switch from Utd to Arsenal before he’s become as has been, gets my vote. But it’s not been easy for him and he’s not too pleased with his first season: It has been a transitional […]
Morning all. Someone here on HH a short while ago made a comment about this current Arsenal team and how it appears to be playing better without many of it’s English players. No Wilshere, Gibbs, Chambers or Walcott. Danny Webeck is the only one who has been playing of late. Gibbs now looks like he’s […]
It made a surprising change for Arsenal to go into a game with their massively subsidised London neighbours Chelsea, with the ersatz club from SW6 carrying the crucial injuries… But this is Chelsea, a team constructed from a budget that would normally run a small country, a club that has pretty much run away with the […]
Morning all. I’ll get the gossip out the way before Kev’s post. Apparently, well, according to the Mirror, Gilles Grimandi has been scouting Nabil Fekir and has sent Arsene Wenger nothing but glowing reports about the young Frenchman. He’s an attacking midfielder who can also play up front and he’s valued at £15 million. Here […]
Morning all. We want to continue to win and strengthen our position in second place because that’s far from being done. We have an opportunity to get closer to Chelsea and we want to take it. – Arsène Wenger If we can win tomorrow and then the gap will be seven points. At this stage […]
Morning all. Back in the summer of 2000 – French midfielder Emmanuel Petit was approaching 30 years old. He’d been with us for three seasons and together with Patrick Vieira, he bossed our midfield with great success. That summer, he moved to Barcelona. Injuries and playing in defence didn’t help him during his first season, […]
Morning all. When things are going a bit wayward, which to be fair has been all too often, we soon hear from a few of the players on the official website. They talk about how they’ll learn from defeats or individual errors and how they’ll move forward and make things better. Then comes another defeat […]
Morning all. A few headlines yesterday afternoon were about Abou Diaby. Talk is, he’s to be offered a pay as you play deal. Firstly, I haven’t a clue whether it’s true but secondly, it wouldn’t at all surprise me if it was… When Diaby has been fit and healthy, which I know seems a lifetime ago, […]
Morning all. Back in May 2004, Arsenal were top of the tree, Invincible, playing the best football in Britain and arguably the most entertaining in Europe or anywhere in the World. Arsenal’s worldwide appeal is a testament to that expansive football. A football that any Chelsea fan can only dream of… But that was as […]
Morning all. The Steven Gerrard swan song has been halted, hoorah! I’m so pleased that Liverpool were booted out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa, I really am and I’m not trying to suggest that playing Villa in the final will be an easier opposition as they won’t judging by their performance yesterday but […]
