Morning all. I’ve always had a lot of respect for Matt Le Tissier both as a footballer and pundit but yesterday, I was quite surprised about something he said. Disappointed too. When talking about the stunning finish by Hector Bellerin he said that the strike was something you’d expect from 20 goal a season striker, […]

Morning all. The only gossip this morning relates to Theo Walcott who according to reports is set to be offered a new five year contract. Five years? Sign it Theo before Arsene changes his mind…. Oh, and there’s some old tosh about Maro Reus who will reject advances from all other clubs but Arsenal as he […]
Morning all. He is a specialist at centre-back and with the fixtures we have in from of us, that is needed. What I saw was a great quality for a defender, his level of concentration. He is physically able to adapt to the Premier League because he is quite a good size and is quick […]
Morning all. Team news ahead of Sunday from Le Boss: The squad will be exactly the same as last Sunday. The only uncertainty we have is Alexis Sanchez who has a hamstring concern, and that will be decided on Saturday. He might be out for Sunday. The only [other] difference is that Gabriel is available […]
Morning all. So Gabriel is finally an Arsenal player and if he’s as hard as he looks, we are in for a treat. We’ve lack a bit of physicality at the back for a while now, probably since the day Big Sol left us. Actually, make that Martin Keown, he didn’t take much c**p did he…. So, […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta has signed a one year contract extension according to his agent. I’m sure a few fans will be pleased about that…. Work permit secured, Joel Campbell is in Spain, yet still nothing officially confirmed by Arsenal.com about Gabriel. They do like to keep us all waiting don’t they, perhaps Arsene is waiting […]
Morning all. Chuba Akpom is being heavily linked to Liverpool. Our young striker, who looks miles ahead of Yaya Sanogo in terms of footballing skill, is out of contract this summer and free to move wherever he wants. Liverpool aren’t the only side who are reported to be interested in snapping up our youngster with […]
Morning all. Prior to yesterdays game, one or two players from the Brighton camp, hoped Arsene Wenger would field a strong side. They wanted to be really tested and as well, they wanted their fans to see the best on show. And to a degree, that’s what they got, certainly by the end. But with that […]
Morning all. According to Sky Sports, Villarreal have confirmed their defender Gabriel Paulista will sign for Arsenal subject to a work permit, with forward Joel Campbell joining the Spanish side on loan as part of the deal. This work permit issue really concerns me as when do we ever get those decisions go in our favour? […]
Morning all. I go from being too romantic to too pragmatic. We knew that it was important for us to be a bit more cautious. We wanted to be a bit more reassured. Last year we conceded many goals in big games so maybe we were a bit more focused on defending well together. But […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has missed a trick during our very unhappy playing days at Old Trafford. It’s not the referee, the grass or the way the wind blows up there to blame for our dreadful results, it’s the mice! Apparently and according to the Mail Online, the place is riddled with them. They have […]
Morning all. So, Theo Walcott thinks that right now, our attacking force is superior to to when he first arrived… Talking to the official site, he said: When I came, it was Pires and Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Thierry and Reyes – that’s some attacking force as well. I think this squad probably does beat it, but […]
