Morning all. There’s a ghastly 48 hour bug going around where I live, one which decided to say hello to me on Thursday night. Anyway, I dragged myself out of bed to watch Arsenal take on Liverpool. Trouble is, I could barely keep my eyes open but I’m not sure whether or not that was […]

Morning all. Don’t you just love the early rounds in the FA Cup? It’s hard to believe that Bolton, a Premier League club not that long ago, surrendered a two goal lead against non-league Stockport County last night. Twice! 2-0 up, then 3-1 up before the home team managed to take the tie into extra […]
Morning all. Do four goals against the lowest ranked country in world football deserve such gushing over? Two of which were penalties I hasten to add. The way the British media are reacting to England’s 10-0 thrashing of San Marino is ridiculous in my opinion. Of course it was good to secure the victory needed […]
Morning all, I watched An Audience With David Dein and Arsene Wenger last night. Not much cropped up that most of us didn’t know already but it was good. Good to see both ex Arsenal men relaxed and sharing some funny moments. It became clear that Arsene Wenger believed Fergie was favoured by the […]
Morning all. The Arsenal women came close to ending their unbeaten run in the WSL yesterday afternoon. It simply didn’t look like being their day against north London rivals Toots. Chances came and went, certainly in the first half but the woodwork the Toots keeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela, prevented Arsenal from scoring. Had it not been […]
Morning all. Emile Smith Rowe made his senior England debut last night. By the time Gareth Southgate called him off the bench, the game was pretty much over as far as the scoreline goes. Still, he’s probably feeling like a million dollars this morning. Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale weren’t called on which is good […]
Morning all. Arsène Wenger Arsenal’s legacy is well known worldwide. His work at the club, from 1996 onwards, changed Arsenal forever and shook the foundations of English football. Despite the fact his departure from the club was divisive, it is undeniable the Frenchman was responsible for broadening the vision of English football. As a result, […]
Morning all. PSG player Aminata Diallo was was arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of being involved in a nasty attack of one of her team-mates, Kheira Hamraoui. Diallo, 26, has has been at the club for five years, while fellow France international Hamraoui, 31, joined from Barcelona in July. The story goes that Daillo was/is […]
Morning all. It’s definitely a dream come true. I didn’t expect it. Obviously I was planning to go with the U21s and I got a phone call the day before from Gareth, saying I’d been called up to the first team. It was a great moment for me and my family. My mum was actually […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s Gabriel has been called up for the Brazil national team who have two fixtures during this next fortnight. His debut could come against Colombia on November 11th or Argentina on November 16th. Emile Smith Rowe has also been added to the England squad after one or two others who’d been selected had […]
Morning all. What a nasty lot Watford are. There’s playing tough and playing dirty and Watford leaned heavily towards the latter. Nineteen fouls committed compared to Arsenal’s six and a referee who did very little to curb their style of play. Because of their constant fouls, the game was bitty but even so, Arsenal were […]
Morning all. Josh Kroenke has been talking to Geoff Shreeves of Sky Sports. The interview is being broadcast before Arsenal kick off against Watford. Arsenal are not for sale. The club receives offers to buy Arsenal quite often. The Kroenke family are only just getting going after the 100% takeover in 2018. The Premier League […]
