Morning all. William Saliba has received four yellow cards so far this season so if he picks up another he’ll be banned for one game. The golden reset fixture is number 19 so with Arsenal having only played 15 fixtures so far, he’s got to try and play through four more matches without a picking […]
Morning all. Arsenal title contenders? 100% said Declan Rice after the game on Monday night. They are a top team you can see they are coached incredibly well, have a lot of attacking talent, a young squad and they can go the whole way for sure. Rice was in my opinion, West Ham’s best player. […]
Morning all. Well that was a pretty good way to kick start the second half of the season. I say second half but this campaign is far from halfway through. Arsene Wenger finally made his return to The Emirates Stadium to watch a Mikel Arteta team turn on the style. The game itself had pretty […]
Morning all. I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday. It’s a bank holiday here in the uk, but for footballers, certainly in Britain, Boxing Day is a day for hard work, commitment and three big points up for grabs. Arsenal couldn’t have had a better first few months of football really. Yes, the […]
Morning all. Hungover and on your 4th coffee already? No, nor me either. I’ve had the brussels boiling for a couple of hours, stuffing is made and the rest is ready to go. Oh, and Christmas carols are blaring away in the background. I love Christmas… Premier League football gets going again tomorrow and it’s […]
Morning all. One more sleep and I’m so glad I have a chimney for the big fella to ease his way down. It’s funny how Christmas changes for many of us as we go through the years. As a child, it was about games and toys, teenage years was a bicycle and then it was […]
Morning all. Will the minutes played in Qatar have a bearing on how the League title race plays out over the five months I wonder. The clubs, listed below are the ones expected to chasing down a top four/six place and the number of minutes their players played during the World Cup are alongside. It’s […]
Morning all. The debate about Emi Martinez has lit up the internet again this morning. All because he’s just helped Argentina win the World Cup. The golden glove award went to him too, probably because of the number of penalty kicks he saved. I was disappointed Arsenal sold him, but let’s be honest here, he’s […]
Morning all. If Arsenal are to lose, a friendly against Juventus is the time to do it. Of course a win would have been better but…. Eddie Nketiah was twice denied a goal, the first for offside, the second because of a foul by Gabriel in the buildup. Fabio Vieira stunts the keepers hands with […]
We’re all still kids at heart aren’t we, an inch of snow and the balls of ice are soon thrown around. Juventus manager Max Allegri was once the name on many an Arsenal fan’s wish list to replace Arsene Wenger and then Unai Emery. The club, instead of opting for another experienced manager after Emery, […]
