Morning all. Bukayo Saka is back home in London. With Covid! Emile Smith Rowe is unwell too and is likely to miss at least one of the two international friendlies. Well, it’s better they’re ill on England’s time and not Arsenal’s, I just hope they both recover in time for the trip to Crystal Palace. […]

Morning all. Ideas for writing about Arsenal are running out. Run out really during this international break. The past is probably best left where is otherwise we’ll cry one minute, laugh the next, or get frustrated knowing things might have been better had George Graham not made the choice he did, David Dein and the […]
Morning all. Bukayo Saka openly admitted to BT Sport that at Villa Park, he spoke to referee Andrew Madley about the treatment he was getting from the Villa players during the game. I wasn’t complaining to the ref but I just wanted to let him know that that’s my game, running at players with pace, and […]
Morning all. For Arsenal fans, a transfer window is all about who the club is going to sign. A midfielder, defender, striker, winger, you name it, we want it, but I think it matters not who the club, or any football club signs if on the training ground, things aren’t right. If players don’t believe […]
Morning all. Ever since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stopped scoring goals for Arsenal, alarm bells have been ringing rather loudly. The club tried to sign Dusan Vlahovic in January, if reports are to be believed that is, so we can pretty much guarantee to see a striker or two arrive this summer but this time. Mikel Arteta’s […]
Morning all. ”Only four Premier League games this weekend, but when there’s such quality on show, who needs quantity“? I read the words above in an article on Sky Sports website. The writer, whose name I’ve forgotten, was purring over Bukayo Saka. His goal, the only goal of the game and Arsenal’s 2000th in the […]
Morning all. Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka have all been called up for the England squad by Gareth Southgate. Great for them and England, not so good for Arsenal. Still, it’s the last break of this season thank goodness. Most of the international matches are friendlies this time around and […]
Morning all. Arsenal went toe to toe with one of the in form clubs in football. Jurgen Klopp has built his team/squad over a number of seasons now and they’re hard to beat. Without a clinical striker, hard to score against. But, Arsenal created chances and that’s the positive. As is, the pressure Mikel Arteta’s […]
Morning all. I was listening to Sky Sports on Monday morning, The Football Show with Stephen Warnock, Sue Smith and host, Rob Wooton. Whilst Sue Smith was very honest about Arsenal, recognising the improvement under Mikel Arteta and believing that this group of players will only get better and better, Wooton and Warnock almost laughed […]
Morning all. The Chelsea saga rumbles on and it will until the club is sold and Roman Abramovich is history. I read an article by Jamie Carragher who felt it necessary to defend his comment about Man Utd and how the club should prise Thomas Tuchel away from Chelsea in the summer. Hypocrites is what […]
Morning all. After Chelsea and West Ham secured home wins over Newcastle and Aston Villa respectively, all eyes were on Arsenal v Leicester City. Brendan Rodgers team didn’t really get going until we’d gone 1-0 up thanks to super corner from Gabriel Martinelli and a perfect header from Thomas Partey. Admittedly, he was was […]

Arsenal have announced that as a club, we have donated to Save the Children’s DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, and is asking supporters around the world to donate what they can when they join our newly formed Arsenal Ukraine Supporters’ Club. You can sign up to Arsenal Ukraine Supporters’ Club here. You can […]
