Morning all. West Ham lost 2-1 last night at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, a pretty good result for Arsenal because the tie is far from over. I wouldn’t put it past David Moyes team to get a result in Germany so the Scotsman might just be tempted to give a few of his key players […]

Morning all. A joint article this morning with bits from both myself and Kev. I know we’ve discussed what the club is going to do about the futures of Lacazette, Elneny and Nketiah in depth recently with all their contracts due to expire this summer, and for me it’s keep two out of the three, […]
Morning all. Did you read the story about Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard? Both had promised to give their shirts to kids from Arsenal’s under 9 team after the game at The Emirates. Despite losing, they kept their promise but the young lad who Rashford gave his shirt to had it nicked off him just […]
Morning all. It’s hard to believe that the end of this 2021/22 season is nearly over yet there’s still so much on offer for a number of clubs in England and abroad. The Premier League is a two-horse race between Man City and Liverpool which could yet go down to the final game, fourth spot […]
Morning all. Kev has very kindly written this mornings article. By the time the January transfer window closed, Arsenal’s squad was possibly the smallest its been in years so when Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney joined Takehiro Tomiyasu on the injury list, Mikel Arteta has had little choice but to call up a larger than […]
Morning all. I’ll never understand why a footballer who takes a penalty kick doesn’t just pick his spot, run up and kick the ball. All the fancy footwork during the approach to the ball is silly, if not arrogant. I haven’t an ounce of sympathy for a player who misses because of his own antics. […]
Morning all. Mo Elneny, 30 years old in July, out of contract in the summer and one of the heroes on Wednesday night. To suggest he’s been used sparingly by Mikel Arteta this season would be an understatement but what we saw from him against Chelsea is usually what get. Reliable, not flash but steady. […]
Morning all. What a bonkers game with a fantastic result for Arsenal by the end. Both teams weren’t at their best in defence, certainly during the first half but it was Arsenal who had the edge in the second. Rob Holding had a shaky start, probably because he barely plays and Ben White and Gabriel […]
Morning all. Arsenal have confirmed they’re off to the USA this summer. We’ll play Orlando City on Wednesday, July 20th at Exploria Stadium – the home of the MLS side and then three days later we’ll take on Chelsea at Camping World Stadium on Saturday, July 23rd. I suspect more pre season fixtures will be announced […]
Morning all. On a morning when Sky Sports announced that Man City are about to trigger the £75 million get out fee for Erling Haaland and then pay him £500k a week, it’s ironic that The Daily have printed an interview with Steve Parish. We have to remember we all love football because teams like […]
Morning all. Yesterday, Arsenal Football Club announced that after a short illness, Steve Rowley had passed away. He was just 63 years old. Having arrived at The Arsenal in January 1980 and went from being in a part-time role in our youth scouting operations in Essex, to being the chief scout during Arsene Wenger’s time at […]
Morning all. Crystal Palace hadn’t won at home in 2022. Brighton hadn’t won any of their last seven games (D1 L6) Southampton hadn’t won any of their last six games and had lost their last four in a row at home. Along came Arsenal and all three clubs put an end to their dismal run. […]
