Morning all. Funny old Sunday wasn’t it. Chelsea burst into. 2-0 lead, Hull City drew level and then the away team grabbed a late winner. Shame.. Before that game, Gerrard waved goodbye to his last battle against Utd with a red card and then suffered as his side lost at home to one of their […]

I was very pleased with the resilience because it shows qualities that are important such as solidarity. Arsène Wenger In a game of two halves, Arsenal emerged victorious 2-1 but the game was far from the relatively easy nature that some people would have you believe with the pre-match hype about how we were going to […]
Morning all. Karim Bellarabi is making the headlines today and according to The Metro, Arsene Wenger wants to sign the German winger in the summer. A proper winger at last? Goodie! He’s 6′ tall and plays for Bayer Leverkusen. Emiliano Martinez has joined Rotherham United on an emergency loan until the end of the season which […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Paul Merson who is 47 years old today. The BBC are showing the FA Cup semi-final between Reading and Arsenal on the 18th April and on the same day, pretty much the same time, Sky sports are showing the Premier League clash between Man Utd and Chelsea…. Whatever happened to the […]
Morning all. Hector Bellerin is 20 years old today. Happy birthday to him… You won’t have to scratch your head and search your memory too much to recall the great moments Dennis Bergkamp dished up. Anyone who has read Stillness and Speed will know that as much as Dennis was a world class player, he acknowledged […]
Morning all. So out we went again at the same old stage we like to each Spring. It’d be easy to say ‘just one more goal’ and yes, that’s all we needed last like in order to progress. However, until we either learn to do better in the Group stages and top the league in […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Pat Rice and Lee Dixon. Pat is 66 years old today, Lee 51 – a mere whipper-snapper…. Last night Reading blew Bradford away with ease and next up for them is Arsenal in the semi-final at Wembley and they’ll want revenge for that 7-5 loss at the Mad Stad a couple […]
Roy of the Rovers did it, but that was in truth, fiction. A boys own comic story. That kind of fairytale just doesn’t happen in the real world. The real world of tough, unforgiving, cynical professional football… Or does it? A callow French youth, of 18 years young, moved to Arsenal permanently, on 1st July 2009, […]
Morning all. Paulo Dybala, who has been strongly linked to Arsenal recently, is set to seal a move to a new club within the next few days. Palermo’s president Maurizio Zamparini says Dybala will seal a move to a new club before the end of March. A team should close the signing of Dybala in […]
Morning all. The ‘sign the thing’ saga has started all over again with Theo Walcott as Arsene Wenger has confirmed contract talks are under away… The first contacts have been established with the embassy! We will see how that progresses politically. Walcott was difficult to convince (last time) and that’s why it took us much […]
Morning all. Young Hector Bellerin has been offered a new contract. Smart move Arsenal, although I doubt him agreeing another four years will prevent Barcelona from sniffing around their old player any time soon. He must be enjoying life in the Arsenal fast lane right now and we can only hope that remains the case […]
Morning all. Earlier in the season, very early in the season, the 22nd of August to be precise, Oliver Giroud suffered a broken left tibia against Everton and was ruled out for a long time. So much so, Arsene Wenger didn’t include him in our pre 2015 Champions League campaign. Apparently, during his time out, […]
