Morning all. Tackles flying in at one point as were late clumsy ones too. A bit of bite and fury, a tame referee all topped off by a super free kick and a glancing header by Olivier Giroud. Soon after opening his account, Giroud should have made the game safe but he fluffed his […]

Morning all. Many of this mornings newspapers are running the story on Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata and his loan move to us in a few days time. The 21 year old is not being used much by Carlo Ancelotti and suggestion is both club and player would be happy to see this move take place. Whether […]
Morning all. You’ll have to forgive me. I once spelt the Liverpool managers name wrong in a post in error and it’s kind of stuck. Oh well, it makes me chuckle and it’s hardly offensive is it. Anyway, as we know, his side were well and truly hard done by a couple of days ago, […]
Morning all.. Well well, three points didn’t look likely at times did they, especially after Szczesny failed to hold onto a shot from Kevin Nolan, allowing Carlton Cole to make it 1-0 to the home side. Vast amounts of possession again but no ending, well not until Theo Walcott scored a goal out of nothing […]
Morning all.. Happy Boxing Day. Not sure if that’s what’s meant to be said but it’s nice so I have anyway! I know there is a reason for this day being called Boxing Day but for me this morning it feels like I’ve been a few rounds with Nicola Adams and she caught me around […]
Morning all. Christmas Day is finally here. Moving away from the real reason I celebrate Christmas, in the football world it’s a bit like a transfer window for an Arsenal fan. There’s a lot of build up to the big occasion but you are aften left disappointed when it’s over. Having hoped for a bicycle […]
Since Roman employed Jose to manage the Blues, Arsenal verses Chelsea has in recent years, become a contest epitomising the standard of our squad and our managers’ tactics. With the success Jose has had against Arsene, multiple Chelsea managers have deployed the same tactics to defeat our seemingly ‘predictable’ manager in recent years. However, talking […]
Morning all. It’s not a personal battle [with Jose Mourinho]. Honestly, we had some big games in the past, but what is important for me is that I am completely focused on Arsenal Football Club and on my team and doing well in the team. Whether we play Monday night against Chelsea or anybody else, […]
Morning all. From top spot to third in one afternoon, that’s just how close this seasons campaign is right now. All what matters though is how we as a football club go about getting that top spot back on Monday and keeping it. Have we got enough in this squad to fight back after back-to-back losses […]
Morning all. I really dislike International breaks and this feels just like one. It’s been a while since we travelled to Manchester and we still have three days to go before we kick-off Monday evening against Chelsea. Still, the players have had a good chance to relax, re-energise their bodies and spend time doing work […]
Morning Gooners, Both Auxerre’s 21-year-old striker Paul-Georges Ntep and Basel’s 22 year old defender Fabian Schar are heavily linked to us in the newspapers this morning. I doubt either will come as a shock as they’ve been linked to us before today. Apparently Ntep is a real possibility as he knows that under Arsene Wenger he’ll get playing time and he […]
Morning all. Jack Wilshere has admitted a Football Association charge over an abusive hand gesture towards Man City fans but will contest a mandatory two-game ban if that’s what he is awarded, according to the BBC. I’m not surprised either as Luis Suarez was suspended for just one match, fined £20,000 and warned as to his […]
