One week down, five days to go and then the boys will be back. Bukayo Saka won the head to head bragging rights over Jorginho a couple of nights ago as England beat Italy, a game in which Kane became the highest scoring penalty taker in history, or something like that. I wonder if he’ll […]

Morning all. How unlucky were the Arsenal Women’s team last night, two cleared off the line, one hit the post, plenty of other opportunities and two penalty shouts turned down. Jonas Eidevall said after their 1-0 defeat: Part of me is angry, because obviously VAR was not working in the Allianz Arena tonight. Goal-line technology […]
Morning all. This group of Arsenal players seldom seem to surprise. Tired bodies after 120 minutes of football just a couple of days ago, then penalties and the sucker punch. Defeat. My fear was a lethargic performance yesterday, a struggle to get going and even points dropped. My fear was misplaced. Perhaps it was just […]
Morning all. Having been 3-1 up against Southampton with just over fifteen minutes to go, Tottenham ended up drawing 3-3. Antonio Conte went into meltdown in his ten minute post match press conference. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching just for it’s entertainment value. I’m not used to seeing this type of situation. […]
Morning all. Disappointed? Of course, but over the two legs, did we really deserve more? Regardless of your or my opinion, we’re out of the Europa Cup. Beaten on penalties but the killer blow was Sporting CP’s equaliser which was incredibly good. Aaron Ramsdale will no doubt be criticised by anyone who isn’t keen on […]
Evening guys. Arsenal take on Sporting CP shortly. Any kind of home win and we’re through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League Cup. Like Arsenal, Sporting won 3-0 at the weekend so they’ll be confident. After the game, Sporting boss Amorim said: It was a perfect game because the team remained focused,” Amorim said […]
Morning all I heard/read the words “it’s a two horse race” the other day in reference to the Premier League title. I still think Man Utd shouldn’t be written off entirely but it would take a huge dip in form and dreadful run of results for both City and ourselves for them to even have […]
Morning all. The fans. In the tone of Craig Revel-Horwood – FAB-U-LOUS! Seriously, you’d have thought we were playing at The Emirates rather than Craven Cottage. Mikel Arteta on if he would have been chanting with our away supporters… I would be singing with them to support the team, that’s for sure! They’ve been […]
Morning all. If you’re planning to tune into Match Of The Day tonight, there’ll be no presenters. Gary Linekar has been ‘stood down’ from his duties after his comment on social media caused a bit of a stir and both Alan Shearer and Ian Wright have quit in support of the presenter. It seems the […]
Morning all. Are you enjoying reading the back pages in the newspapers this morning? All is not well at the neighbours that’s for sure and it makes for amusing headlines. At Arsenal though, Gabriel Jesus is back and wasn’t ready for a return to first team action, I very much doubt Thomas Partey would be […]
Morning all. We, that is Arsenal, have an ally. I think I’ve mentioned before that Jamie Carragher is a big fan of what Mikel Arteta is doing at Arsenal. Talking last night on Sky Sport, he said: I’ve always had the feeling that if you want to win the league you have to score late […]
Morning all. What a weekend of football. The only way it could have been better for Arsenal is if Man City and Newcastle had drawn their match but hey, we can’t have things all our own way. A fabulous comeback from the Arsenal men against Bournemouth, Wolves then beat Tottenham and because Chelsea are so […]
