Morning all. As said yesterday, we’re half way through our Champions League Group stage and despite the slip up against Lens, we’re sitting top of the table. Our next three fixtures are Sevilla and Lens at The Emirates before playing PSV away. I think we’re in a really good position to progress through to the […]

Morning all. An emotional night for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal I’d imagine. Earlier in the day, news broke that Bill Kenwright had passed away, an Everton man through and through who Arteta knew so well. Plus of course, we were playing Sevilla, the club from which Arsenal signed Jose Antonio Reyes. A wonderfully gifted footballer […]
Morning all. Another day, another Champions League fixture is upon us as we take on Sevilla. Of course it’ll be a tough game but nevertheless, is it time for Emile Smith Rowe, the player who wears number 10 on his back, to be given a start in that very position? He oozes talent, we know […]
Morning all. 2-0 down at Stamford Bridge with 75 minutes on the clock to then fight back for a point is something to admire I think. Two super “no fuss” goals earned us the point. A keeping error from Sanchez saw his clearance land at the feet of Declan Rice. He was miles out but […]
Morning all. Ben White: I want to stay at Arsenal for as long as I can and push this club back to where it needs to be. My wife is from around here, so it’s ideal for her, and it’s just an amazing club to come into every day. I think I can take […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta’s hair has often been commented on here on HH. Not out of nastiness but because it’s always “just so”. Ironic that a man who seeks perfection in football, pretty much has the perfect hair. In fact everything about him whiffs on being the best he can be which can only […]
Morning all. Finally, and thankfully, this month’s international break is over and it’s back to domestic football this weekend. When we, Arsenal, play Chelsea, I often think back to that rainy day many years ago now. The match was at Stamford Bridge on the 23rd October back in1999. The player, Nwankwo Kanu. Chelsea were 2-0 […]
Morning all. David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale have more than just playing for Arsenal in common as both are vying for the number one spot for their respective countries. Ramsdale sits behind Jordan Pickford, Raya, Unai Simon. Others are in the mix too, like Kepa for Spain but ultimately, dislodging the keeper who regularly starts […]
Morning all. Eddie Nketiah’s England career kicked off last night in a friendly against Australia. I didn’t watch it but looking at the Sky Sports player ratings, he didnt impress much in his 17 minutes on the pitch. By the sounds of it, England were shocking. Jordan Henderson was booed off apparently as England fans […]
Morning all. It’s bonkers really as just eight games in, one only has to look at the sports pages to find ex footballers and pundits saying that Chelsea and Manchester Utd won’t finish in the top four, Liverpool won’t challenge for the title, Totts challenge will fade and die and Man City will come roaring […]
Morning all. When I wrote about Arsenal v Man City a couple of days ago, suggesting that the game wouldn’t get going until either side scored a goal, I wasn’t far wrong. The game didn’t really get going at all, not in the true sense of the word. In fact it was more like a […]
Morning all. Tomorrow, Arsenal take on Man City, then it’s yet another international break. Gareth Southgate has named Bukayo Saka in his squad but I’m hoping both the player and Mikel Arteta have other ideas. 88/89 minutes on the clock on Sunday, if of course Saka is even involved in the game let alone still […]
