Arteta Wants Emirates Crowd Onside….

Morning all. Jeeze this international break is boring….. Not even the news that Yaya Sanogo scored two goals last night excites me. Mikel Arteta has begun the ‘let’s turn our season around’ chat. Good, he’s right, something needs to happen, we need to start playing better and we have to start winning football matches again. […]

What Is Mathieu Debuchy Smoking? Arsene Wenger Is Making Himself Look Silly!

Morning all. What’s all this stuff about Paul Pogba? Maybe Arsene Wenger could have signed him had he tried a bit harder, after all, he was available on a freebie,  but what’s the point in bragging about something which he didn’t make happen? There’s been so many too, Ronaldo, Cech, Drogba, Cahill… The list goes […]

Would You Ditch Szczesny For Cech? Arsenal Shine For England….

Morning All. Bit of an Arsenal night for England. Kieran Gibbs, Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere and before the game ended, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all donned the Three Lions shirt. Jack was awarded the man of the match award and Welbeck scored two goals which secured the 3-1 victory over Slovenia. And as far as I know, […]

Injury Strikes! Matija Nastasic & Lars Bender In January? Ozil Picks Up Award……

Morning all. It’s Saturday, it’s the boring international break and there’s very little Arsenal stuff doing the rounds. The Express report that Arsene Wenger will try again in January to sign Lars Bender and Goal.com report that Arsenal have been told they can sign Matija Nastasic for a cut price of £5 million during the next […]

Finally, A Bit Of Height Back In Defence.. Podolski Told To Leave!

Morning all. Big Ollie G is back in full training and he might even be ready to face Manchester United if things go well and no set-backs are suffered. Who’d have thought he’d recover as quickly as he has, certainly not me. Good news or bad? Well, when it comes to defending corners and set-pieces […]

Arteta In Trouble? Alexis Sanchez Vows To Improve, Showing Arsene The Way…..

Morning all. Where has all this rain come from? Yesterday afternoon I went from windows open and enjoying the fresh air circulating around my house with sunshine lighting up every room to darkness, rain, and more rain. And boy did it fall!! Not nice, especially when I needed the windows open to help dilute the […]

He Was Leaving, But Not Now! Laporte – No Chance…..

Morning all. Many thought Sami Khedira was a done deal last summer, certainly Stan Collymore who claimed to know the ins and outs of Arsenal’s transfer business. It never happened though and it’s unlikely to happen in January or next summer when he’s available for free. Why? Because according to reports in Spain, having seen […]

Steve Bould’s Message To Arsene Wenger. Does Bould Even Have A Say??

Morning all. What another disappointing performance and result. We scored a wonderful goal. Well worked and well finished by Alexis Sanchez, with some great football by both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Danny Welbeck beforehand. That was Arsenal at it’s best, what followed was Arsenal at it’s worst…. After the capitulation on Tuesday night, Arsene Wenger assured […]

Step Up Semi Ajayi? Arsene Wenger May Not Need To Sign A Defender, IF He’d Give Youth A Chance….

Morning all. Nacho Monreal. Does he really deserve all the stick he’s getting? I read a headline on Newsnow suggesting many fans want him gone and I find that hard to believe. Apart from giving away a penalty against Anderlecht on Tuesday, he’s not been that bad but height is not on his side and […]

Let Aaron Ramsey Go Arsene! January Plans Stepped Up?

Morning all. Gossip: Got to love the Mail. They reckon that in the next few days, Arsenal will step up their hunt for a Defender and Defensive Midfielder. Celtic’s Virgil van Dyke, Aston Villa skipper Ron Vlaar and Manchester United central defender Chris Smalling will be weighed up according to the newspaper. Paris St Germain teenager […]
