Morning all. Ok, it’s all media speculation but at least it’s positive. Bacary Sagna is set to sign a new contract and remain a Gooner which if true is great news. He’s been on fire this season and players like him need to stick around and pass on their experience down to the younger ones, […]

I must admit that before kick off, I thought we were good to get one over the Hammers until I saw the team sheet, which I did not like one bit. All show and very little go in the midfield, to my eye. Half way through the first period, I thought we were gonners… We […]
Morning all. I’ll start with the transfer gossip and The Mirror report that as well as Morata, we are hoping to sign Casemiro, a Brazillian box-to-box midfielder. I’ll admit to knowing nothing about him but he’s being described as being the player who could take over from Mikel Arteta. This is Jack Lang of The Mirrors […]
Morning all. Hero of the FA Cup semi-final, Lukasz Fabianski, has been talking about his superb penalty saves which secured us victory on Saturday: To be honest with you I did some homework but none of them [the Wigan penalty takers] were on my list! The guys who stepped up to take penalties [were different] […]
Morning all. We had to wait 120 minutes for it to be right, but our order of penalty takers was spot on, as was the choice of players who were chosen to take them. Arsene got that all absolutely right, just as he did with standing by Lukasz Fabianski… As for the rest of the […]
Morning all. Three times we have met Wigan in the Domestic Cups, the last being the Carling Cup semi-final back in 2006. It was a two-legged affair and not a good one! Having lost at their place 1-0, we returned to Highbury needing just a victory by two clear goals to see us through. We […]
Morning all. Just one more sleep to go! Ok I’m not going but I’m excited, our boys are off to Wembley! But they won’t win if they don’t show the opposition some well deserved respect and that’s exactly what Arsene Wenger intends to do: For us what is very important is to win the semi-final […]
Morning all. More Wembley woe to talk about as we are about to embark on what is these days, a surprising yet most welcome return to the big stadium in London. Not the best of course as we have that in The Emirates. Ok, I’m biased! Personally I think it’s a great shame that the […]
Morning all. Transfer Gossip: Toulouse right back Serge Aurier, 21, to join Arsenal despite interest from super-rich French clubs Monaco and PSG (The Sun). Manchester United will compete with the Gunners to sign France midfielder Maxime Gonalons, 25 (TalkSport). Arsenal have been given a boost in their pursuit of Dynamo Kiev midfielder Younes Belhanda, 24, after the player said he was “dreaming” […]
Morning all. Every footballing pundit who said many months ago that our squad was too shallow to win the league are all jumping on the ‘I told you so’ bandwagon and even though I hate them for doing so, can you blame them? We have been saying the same since firstly, the summer transfer window […]
Morning all. And it isn’t a good one…… At 2-0 down we had a chance if Arsene Wenger had the balls to make changes, he didn’t, just like he so often doesn’t. Ask yourself this. If you were a football manager and you were sat watching how everything was going wrong in front of your […]
Morning all. Seriously, Everton, the Totts and Manchester United can catch us, even overtake us and nab that 4th, and last Champions League place! We have to be focussed, we have to be united and we have to be strong. Certainly a lot stronger than we have been since Christmas. Yes we can moan about […]
