Morning all. Panto arrived early yesterday afternoon and didn’t we all love it? Is there a player more deserving of his two goals than Olivier Giroud right now? Since the beginning of the season he’s held the front line on his own, yet sometimes it’s others who chip in with the goals but yesterday, the […]

Morning all.. Well well, who’d have thought it. The MLS season has closed for a while and Thierry Henry has come home to keep up his fitness levels. Yes ok Thierry, I believe you. Not! I bet he’s keeping his hopes up for another chance to score us a goal or two at the soonest […]
This is my first time of writing a post, so please bear with me…… The press have hounded Arsene Wenger from the day he became manager back in 1996 and probably will do until he leaves Arsenal. Things weren’t so bad when he first arrived as Arsenal and more importantly Arsene Wenger, proved all the […]
Morning all. For once it seems the lady luck of injuries was on our side during this international break. As far as I know, we have suffered a big fat zero on the injuries list. The media are however suggesting that Wilshere will need to be assessed before Saturday after getting a knock on his […]
Morning all. A few years ago Sven-Göran Eriksson, during a moment of madness, decided to include Theo Walcott in his squad for the 2006 World Cup. The entire nation was shocked, no doubt the player was too. To be honest, looking back, I suspect the then manager wishes he’d never selected him and to this day, […]
Morning all. Axel Witsel has been linked to a Premier League switch for a number of years now, so many it’s hard to believe he’s still only 24 years old. Whilst on duty with Belgium, the player has again reiterated his desire to come to England but he’ll only go to one of the better […]
Morning all. So the latest name on the tip of many journalists biro is Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva. Somehow, his name has been shortened to be ‘Pato’, I’m glad as that’s so much easier to type. He’s a striker so that ticks the first box. He’s still only 24 years old, so that’s a good tick […]
Morning all. Well well, one rumour we hear quite a few days ago has come true, Wojciech Szczesny has signed a new four year contract and both player and manager are thrilled to bits. Arsène Wenger said: We’re very pleased Wojciech has signed a new long-term contract. I have always believed he is an extremely […]
Morning all. Well there’s not a lot to talk about really, other than the good news re Nicklas Bendtner who has confirmed that he really does want out of Arsenal. Something which is long overdue in my opinion. How he has the cheek to suggest that money will play no part in his decision on […]
Morning all. How many times has his name been written in the same sentence as Arsenal when we are in need of a striker? Too many is the first answer which springs to mind and rather annoyingly, it’s happened again. According to nearly every newspaper, we have been notified of his £2.5 million get out […]
Morning all. I can understand fans betting on football results, I really can. Going back to my childhood days, I remember with great fondness sitting down with my Grandparents and picking out games, or in their case numbers, on the Pools each week. It was all in fun and only cost them a few ‘bob’ […]
Morning all. Not everyone is a fan of Twitter and not everyone has an account, so in case you missed Arsene Wenger’s Q&A on there yesterday, here it is: Q – 17 years ago, did you choose Arsenal because your name is Arsene? A – Ha ha! Certainly not! Arsenal chose me and that was a huge […]
