During the run-in to the end of the season, Arsene Wenger went to great lengths to downplay the importance of the Cup Final. Finishing 4th was the Holy Grail, the real test of Arsene’s management, or so he would have us believe…. Dear old Arsene, he can spin a yarn with the best of them. […]

Morning all. Jack Wilshere has been talking about his World Cup place. I was panicking a bit about the squad, I wanted to be in it. I thought I was ready but he said: ‘No, you’re not. You need to train alone if you are to have a good World Cup. You need a good […]
Morning all. Highbury House is having a few problems so it’s a short gossip post today. Loic Remy has reportedly agreed terms with Arsenal and will sign on the dotted line over the next few days. That’s according to Sky News Radio. The price is around £10 million and as much as some may not […]
Morning all. So then, the ‘main man’ at Arsenal has finally put pen to paper and signed a new three year deal. I’m not really sure what to think. I’ve been thinking about De Boer and Bergkamp and their links to the Premier League and I’ll put my hands up and admit that there was […]
Morning all. Ever feel like you’ve been here before? No no, I don’t mean Highbury House, I mean Alvaro Morata. Wasn’t it this time last year we heard the same old stories about signing him, or was it back in January? I can’t remember really as this last season has gone by so fast and bearing […]
Fresh from our triumph in the FA cup and with Champions League football again sealed, we are already enveloped in several slow burning transfer sagas. As Le Prof has said, the FA cup win could be the springboard for a new era of success at Arsenal Football Club. But let’s be honest, a huge reason […]
Morning all. Whilst reading another very popular blog into the late hours a few nights ago, I was quite surprised and rather saddened by the continuing and constant vitriol and poison spouted out by both sides of the ‘AKB’ v’s ‘Arsene Out’ debate. It’s just over a week since Arsenal’s dramatic FA Cup victory. It’s […]
Morning all. Yesterday was all about 1989 and winning the league at Anfield against all odds, oh, and moaning of course. lol ’89 is quite hard to beat but maybe there are other league winning moments which you favour? Wiltords at Old Trafford in 2002 was quite special wasn’t it, especially after all the cocky […]
Morning all. Twenty five years ago today, Michael Thomas was the hero of the night… Off we went to Anfield needing not just a win if we were to win the league, but a win by two clear goals and having just won the FA Cup, Liverpool were high in confidence. We’d been 15 points […]
Morning all… Come on Arsenal, sort this out once and for all. Elvis Presley singing The Wonder of You is hardly the kind of song that will make the hairs on the back of your necks stand up is it? In fact it’s boring, toothless and very very dated…. The Emirates needs something different, something […]
Morning all. I don’t know if any of you realise but our FA Cup triumph was our first trophy for nine years! Honest, it’s true! During that same period of time, our ladies team were flying high and winning most of what was on offer and here’s a list of their achievements during those nine […]
Morning all. That was of course back in the day when the World Cup didn’t get in the way of Arsenal signing footballers. I can remember how the news leaked that Tomas had been allowed to leave the Czech camp and secure his deal with us. Excited? You bet I was. He’s been great for […]
