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.

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 […]
Morning all. Where did that four day break go? Man City losing away to Crystal Palace last night was a bit of a surprise. Or was it? Arsenal made the same trip back in February and a dubious penalty together with a goalkeeping error gifted us two first half goals which turned out to be […]
Morning all. Last day of the Easter holiday so make the most of it and it’s going to be hot! Goals – Arsene say’s he can smell them a mile off: You smell that we can score goals. If you look at the number of goals we’ve scored now (62 from 31 league games), that’s quite […]
Morning all. Was that perfect Arsene? Perfect? You always have imperfections in any game but I feel we started with a great intensity, which is what we wanted to put them under pressure. We created some early chances after and then when we relieved the pressure they had one or two chances. Liverpool are […]

Morning all. The Sun newspaper suggests that Arsene Wenger is interested in signing young Anthony Martial from Monaco. He’s 19 years old and in his four appearances for the French cub, he’s scored three times. Young and French used to work didn’t it but unless Yaya Sanogo and Joel Campbell are heading for pastures new this summer, […]
Morning all. Arsenal can brag about having many great players in it’s squad and many have performed superbly at certain stages of our season. Alexis hit the ground running, Ozil has learned how to tackle, Ollie just loves to score these days and Danny Welbeck has added something different to the team. He may not […]
Morning all. It’s not just the big boys who have been representing their country this last week, some of the youngsters have been flying the Arsenal flag around the world too. Calum Chambers played 61 minutes and claimed an assist in England Under-21s’ 1–0 win over the Czech Republic. Serge Gnabry was a second-half substitute in […]
Morning all. Wales battered Israel 3-0 last night with Aaron Ramsey netting the first. He was on the receiving end of a strong tackle and was left hobbling. Late in the game he was substituted. Thankfully, that’s it for Wales as they have no further matches in this international break. Unlike Tomas Rosicky who played the […]
