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 […]
Morning all. Happy Birthday to Calum Chambers, he’s the ripe old age of 20 today and talking of young ex Southampton players, on this day back in 2006, Arsene Wenger signed Theo Walcott. See, he does do winter signings! Gossip: The Mirror report that Winston Reid wants a move, and if Arsenal make an offer, […]
Morning all. Little bit of gossip in the papers: Argentinia defender Nicolas Otamendi,who can play right-back and centre-half is being monitored by Arsene Wenger according to The Mirror and the same paper write that Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista has insisted Arsenal are trying to sign him – and says it would be “excellent” to move to […]
Morning all. Rotten results yesterday, the Dippers are now hot on our heels, the neighbours are again above us and the Mancs and Southampton are pulling further clear. Not the kind of day I’d hoped for. Not the day any of us hoped for but saying that, we shouldn’t be relying on others to do […]
Morning all. What a double dose of bad news yesterday. Both Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Debuchy have been ruled out for three months following surgery. I bet our right back wishes he’d never signed for us, after all, Stoke never battered Newcastle players the way that thug battered him last weekend and to think the […]
Lots of gossip today in the media on the 20 players we’re buying and am sure most if not all is total rubbish but it gives us something to discuss. Will we buy will we get a loan player in, what positions will we strengthen or won’t we buy at all. We all think we […]
Morning all. Thierry Henry makes his debut for Sky Sports this weekend for our match at the Etihad. It’s been a long time since we won at City’s ground, how fitting would it be if we could break that bad run with our old boy watching on. Lets hope he brings us some better luck. […]
