Morning all. Don’t get too excited, Wenger is not promising to spend many millions of pounds in January on a Centre Back, Central Defensive Midfielder or any other players which we so seriously need, he’s just saying that the team today will be very different to the one which lost at home to Southampton in […]

Morning all. First up, Happy Birthday to Kieran Gibbs and Kenny Sansom – one is 25 today, the other 56….. Not long to go now before the big match, the first North London Derby of the season and our boys can’t wait. Even Alexis Sanchez is chomping at the bit. Alexis and Jack played 90 […]
Morning all. On this day back in 1991, Ian Wright made his Arsenal debut in a league cup fixture against Leicester. He scored too! That’s what great strikers do…. Arsene Wenger wants to change Abou Diaby’s style of play. Instead of being the tall and powerful box to box player he was, (cough) he’s now […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game annoyingly and at the time of writing, I haven’t even seen the goals. Anyway, we lost against a strong Southampton side and the only positive from that is we are out of one of the cups, leaving us to concentrate on the Premier League, Champions League and FA […]
Morning all. Mathieu Debuchy will be out for at least three months after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle. Dreadful news for Arsenal, dreadful news for the player. He has had surgery and will be out for three months. A reasonable delay is three months. It all went well, but it can be a week or […]
Morning all. What a bizarre weekend of football that was. Well, good actually as it’s always nice to see the sides who the media love fall by the wayside. Everton and Tottenham got spanked at home, Utd threw away a 2-1 lead to lose 5-3 at Leicester and Liverpool got hammered at Upton Park and […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the entire game, just a few highlights including the goals. The two we scored were pretty good weren’t they and good to see Danny Welbeck open his goal scoring account and Mesut Ozil get his first for the season. I must admit, I didn’t expect us to get anything at […]
Morning all. So, £173 million sat in the Arsenal bank before the summer transfer window, now there is £120 million according to reports and that’s not including the £30 million set aside to pay the mortgage. Disgraceful! I’m not a huge fan of all these ex players who instead of getting on the football training […]
Morning all. I would have loved to have managed Didier Drogba, for two reasons. One, I missed him when he played at Le Mans in France, not even in the top league. I knew there was a good player there and I missed him.And secondly, because he hurt us so much in big games that […]
Morning all.. Tsgh kindly wrote his thoughts after the match on Tuesday so here they are…. For a man who started his European football management career so promisingly 30 or so years ago and even made the semi – finals with a moderately assembled team in his second attempt, one would have expected Arsene Wenger […]
Well what can you say about that utter rubbish served up last night. We were truly awful and the performance highlighted exactly where our problems lie. Firstly, I have to say that Dortmund were excellent, they ran us ragged all over the pitch and as terrible as we were they were a joy to watch. […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger: The World Cup final in Rio was July 13. They came back on the August 11. That means I gave them one month of holiday. It was important for me that they would recover. They have been training for one month and haven’t reached 100 per cent physically yet but they’re […]
