Morning all. We have worked very hard to get where we are. Now it is about how much we can keep our focus, how much we can push ourselves to do well and on that front I cannot complain. – Arsène Wenger I’m not sure if Arsene is talking about the FA Cup or our […]

Morning all. We have an important fixture tomorrow, a win will see us into the quarter finals but a loss will be a disaster imo. Any confidence will be battered and our customary fourth spot could seriously be under threat. To be fair, it already is with so many sides all looking like they could […]
Morning all. Bit of gossip. The Star report that sources in Spain believe Arsene Wenger is ready to ditch Wojciech Szczesny and offer Guillermo Ochoa an escape route from his Malaga nightmare. Having moved to Spain last summer, he’s yet to make it off the bench…. For some strange reason, I can’t see their being an ounce of […]
Morning all. I am surprised they are bottom of league and they want to get rid of their manager. If they keep quiet, don’t panic and stick together, they will get out of that. They are one of better teams we’ve played. Leicester rolled up at The Emirates and dumped twelve players on the pitch but […]
Morning all. First up, great to see Serge Gnabry get 67 minutes playing time for the under 21’s last night. Having him back in the first team squad can only be good and both Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will have to up their game. Staying with the Academy, young Chris Willock and Ben Sheaf have signed their […]
Morning all. Theo Walcott – perhaps the most annoying and frustrating player at Arsenal right now. Well, apart from Abou Diaby who at least we know will be gone in the summer.. There are days, admittedly few, when he can destroy a side but sadly, there are many more when he just jogs around the […]
Morning all. These games are high intensity and high intensity is dictated by how well you prepare mentally and how well you’re ready physically. I believe that on both sides that we will be ready. – Arsène Wenger Clearly, we weren’t……! I didn’t see the game but by all accounts, we were awful, Martin Atkinson […]
Morning all. These games are high intensity and high intensity is dictated by how well you prepare mentally and how well you’re ready physically. I believe that on both sides that we will be ready. – Arsène Wenger It’s Derby Day! Remember March last year and the same trip? Two minutes on the clock, Tomas […]
Morning fine folk… Alexis Sanchez has been ruled out for tomorrows big match. I’m gutted, we are all gutted no doubt, well apart from all those who support the Toots…. Well, I will be if he doesn’t play but during this mornings press conference, Arsene Wenger has put the cat amongst the pigeons: “Sanchez wants […]
Morning all. Is there anything on our footballing mind other than Saturday’s lunchtime fixture? Of course not! It’s often said that this fixture shouldn’t need a managers motivational pre-match talk and in years gone by and back in the day when we had the likes of Tony Adams leading the side out, every player knew […]
Morning all. You may have already seen that one of the HH regulars, SYG, has written an Arsenal related book called ‘I Am Sam’. Pain In The Arsenal have kindly reviewed the book and to read more, click HERE. If that little taster has tempted you to buy a copy of the book, it’s available […]
Morning all. What a boring deadline day that was for Arsenal fans, to be fair, it’s been boring full stop. No midfielder signed up which is a huge disappointment but it is what it is and we just have to hope Francis Coquelin doesn’t pick up and injury or suspension and Mikel Arteta makes a […]
