Morning all. Just a short post today after reading an interesting article in The Athletic. The Ramsdale v Raya debate is going to go on and on and on until either Raya returns Brentford of if he does join Arsenal on a permanent deal, one of the two leave. All the time either or both […]

Morning all. What a game of football that was, it had everything. Luton were tough, physically tough and the referee wasn’t in any hurry to stamp any nastiness out. Arsenal were denied a certain penalty when Gabriel had his shirt almost tugged off his back although I didn’t think the second one was anything other […]
Morning all. Man City dropped two points against Totts on Sunday, a result which was perfect for Arsenal. Liverpool scraped to victory very late in their game but as I’ve always said, it doesn’t matter what time a team scores when it wins. Villa dropped two points too so two out of three currently in […]
Morning all. Haven’t seen many highlights as yet but a 2-1 win against Wolves had to good if not a bit nervy towards the end I suspect. Thirteen minutes in and we were 2-0. Another rout coming perhaps but It didn’t come of course with Wolves scoring the only other goal in the game. Our […]
Morning all. Roughly six months ago, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal ended the season with a 5-0 thrashing of Wolves. It was Granit Xhaka’s final game for the club and boy did he sign off in style. The Premier League trophy had already been handed over to Man City by then of course but the players didn’t […]
Morning all. I didn’t watch any football last night but have read the headlines this morning and they didn’t make very good reading. Forget the results, which incidentally were good for English clubs but the goings on at Aston Villa sound more like something out of a crime drama or even a horror film. Legia […]
Morning all. Feeling happy on this cold autumn morning? Me too. 45 minutes of absolute Arsenal domination blew Lens away last night. As a number of Lens players tried to kick lumps out of Bukayo Saka, Arsenal hit them where it hurts. 5-0 at half-time and it was game over after what was possibly the […]
Morning all. No Premier League title for Arsenal this season according to ex player and fan favourite Freddie Ljungberg who was a guest on Sky Sports Monday night football. I don’t think they actually are that much better (than last season. Because actually we’re talking about a team going from the third-best defence to the […]
Morning all. Kai Havertz made his scoring debut yesterday evening. Yes, I know he scored from the spot a few weeks ago but this was from open play, a header and Arsenal’s winner. Take that Brentford fans, the constant jeering and mickey taking of Aaron Ramsdale came back to bite them on the backside. Talking […]
Morning all. David Raya misses out on this game as Arsenal take on Brentford so it’s a chance for Aaron Ramsdale to show why signing the Spaniard on a permanent deal is, or would be a waste of money. £27-30 million would be far better put towards signing a top quality striker. Saying that, Mikel […]
Morning all. The excite of international football is over. Until March! Thank goodness for that eh. As far as I can gather from post match reports etc, there’s been no injuries to any Arsenal players. Martin Odegaard and his fellow Norwegian teammates will be having next summer off as they failed to qualify for Euros […]
Well well, the Premier League has grown a pair after handing out a massive ten point deduction to Everton FC after the club was found guilty of breaching profitability and sustainability regulations after reporting a loss of £372million over three-years – £122million more than the £250million permitted. Championship clubs Leicester City and Leeds, together with […]
