Morning all. Still bitter, angry and totally downhearted after Saturday? Yes, me too! Over the last few seasons we have managed to go on a last ditch strong run to secure Champions League football but I don’t think we’ve ever had to do that after such an embarrassing and disastrous defeat as we suffered just […]

I don’ t think there’s too much need to talk about the mistakes we made. We got a good hiding today. Yes, of course it’s one of the worst days [in my career]. It’s over after 20 minutes and it’s a long game after that. You don’t prepare all week to experience that kind of […]
Morning all. Much speculation surrounds the future of Thomas Vermaelen but here’s a big hint that he’s staying put whilst talking about his manager and his 1000th game: It’s incredible – not a lot of managers do that nowadays because they come in and out, so for him to achieve 1,000 games is something unbelievable. […]
Morning all. The 1000th Arsenal fixture under Arsene Wenger takes place tomorrow but it was match 497 which brought him his last success. Staggering really and of course, that means that during the first half of his career with us he was pretty darn special but since that 497th fixture, things haven’t really gone quite […]
Morning all. Bit of transfer gossip to start. Serge Aurier is the man Arsene Wenger wants to replace Bacary Sagna should he depart in the summer. The 21 year old has already played seven times for Ivory Coast and is a regular for his club Toulouse. Morgan Schneiderlin has spoken about the rumours linking him […]
Morning all… Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and the young but extremely talented Gedion Zelalem have all been tied down to new contracts….. Great stuff I’d say! Let’s start with Gedion Zelalem. He may only be 17 years old but he showed signs of what he has to offer when he impressed for the first team during […]
Morning all. Sometimes you just have to hold your hands high and admit you were wrong and that’s just what Jamie Redknapp has done: They (Arsenal) showed great resilience and Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker were magnificent at the back. I was critical of Mertesacker when he arrived in the Premier League, but I have […]
Morning all. It’s true you know, sometimes there is more to one game than turning on the style and boy those days don’t come much bigger than yesterday. Going to SHL and earning all three points is all that mattered yesterday and our boys did just that. Tomas Rosicky got the only goal of the […]
Morning all. It is a fantastic occasion – always was to play in these games. I don’t think there is much blood and thunder these days – I want it to be more of that. I think that gives us the edge. We are possibly more functional than they are, but if they get into their […]
Morning all. That ‘revolt’ was last season according to Kieran Gibbs and it all began after we lost at the dump that is White Hart Lane. It is difficult to know what happened in that transition, but I felt the team went on a kind of a revolt and refused to be defeated again that […]
Morning all. Not a lot of news around today. The newspapers continue to get stuck into Nicklas Bendtner which is only to be expected really and to be honest, thoroughly deserved. Apparently he’s facing a good telling off from Arsenal! Arsene Wenger has given an update on who is fit to face Tottenham on Sunday: […]
Morning all. Inevitable I guess. All the players are clearly disappointed to be out of the Champions League but now they want to push on in the league and FA Cup. Lukasz Fabianski: Hopefully it will give us the same as it gave us last season where we went on a really good run. We […]
