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 […]
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 […]
