Morning all. Well that was all a bit too close for comfort, but to be honest, I wasn’t surprised at all. Reading were up for it in every sense. A bit of bullying, a few elbows and whatever way they could, they stopped us from playing football. Alexis was battered but he didn’t wince or […]

Morning all. I do like reading Mark Lawrenson’s comments, especially as he’s had to change them all so often recently: Reading will try to make it difficult for them but even if Arsene Wenger’s side find themselves in a battle or under pressure, they are better at dealing with it than other Arsenal teams of […]
Morning all. Gary Neville – horrid, dirty footballer, turned well respected football pundit. There aren’t many of those. Listening to him analyse a match, it’s clear he knows what he’s talking about and when it comes to talking about his old club, he holds nothing back… Right now, his view is that Utd need a […]
Morning all. Just two days to go before Arsenal step out at Wembley once again. This time we face Reading FC, a side who have struggled this season in the Championship. Steve Clarke, an old mate of Mourinho is their manager and I bet the two will have an exchange of words before we kick […]
Morning all. British sprinter Richard Kilty says he is willing to bet £30,000 that he can outpace Arsenal speedsters Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott over any distance they fancy. This comes about after recent media reports stating that full-back Bellerin has overtaken England winger Walcott as the fastest man at Arsenal over 40 metres. All […]
Morning all. Sorry, it’s back to me again after Kev’s fine post yesterday so if you’ve any sense, you’ll jump straight to the comments section to see who’s around… Not a lot of news around today so I’ll keep it short and gossipy….. According to Kicker – Arsenal are ready to make a new, improved offer to […]
Morning all. Apparently Arsenal believe they have finally sealed a £4.5 million deal to land Velez Sarsfield’s exciting young Argentine striker Maxi Romero according to reports this morning. A third party ownership for the player was holding any deal up but that’s now been sorted out. Yeehah! Other reports suggest West Ham will pay £10 million […]
Morning all. Well what else did we expect? An easy Game? A four or five goal romp to victory? Neither of the above was ever going to happen, well not in my opinion. I thought we’d win but not without a fight and we certainly got that. And credit to Burnley too, I’m not really […]
Morning all. Just one silly transfer story this morning. Arsenal ready to splash £40 million on Benfica forward Goncalo Guedes (O Jogo) He’s 18 years old! Arsene doesn’t sign kids for £40 million! No jetting around the world for the players this summers pre-season. Arsene clearly wants to look after the players and give them […]
Morning all. It’s Friday, the sun is shining but not so brightly for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He’s had a rotten season really with injuries and it looks like he faces a few more weeks out yet. It is taking a bit longer than I thought because he has a groin inflammation. It is related to everything before. I […]
Morning all. Guess we’ll have to hope Aston Villa knock out Liverpool in the semi-finals after they scraped through against Blackburn last night. Darn and double darn! Can you imagine all the fuss and gushing over Steven Gerrard playing his last ever football match in a Dipper strip at Wembley….. Anyway, we have to beat […]
Morning all. A few comments over the last couple of days, not just on HH but across other websites I have read made me think about that very question. Has Arsene Wenger got lucky, or has he been clever… Nacho Monreal – he’s nailed down the left-back spot pushing many Arsenal fans favourite Kieran Gibbs […]
