Morning all. Does securing Champions League football matter when the summer comes around and Edu and Mikel Arteta are trying to sign players? I used to think it did. Admittedly, the top top players probably want to be playing on the big stage but I don’t think Arsenal will necessarily be chasing that kind of […]

Morning all. If that’s the best Everton can produce when they’re fighting for Premier League survival then perhaps they deserve to be relegated. It’s possible too because there’s not many points separating bottom place Norwich City with 17 points, and 16th place Leeds Utd with 23 points. Everton are 17th with just 22 points won […]
Morning all. Another good weekend of football results for Arsenal. On Saturday, Wolves lost at home to Crystal Palace 2-0 and West Ham were beaten at Anfield 1-0. Yesterday, Arsenal women kicked the day off with a 4-2 defeat of Birmingham in the WSL before Mikel Arteta’s team beat Watford. To top it all off, […]
Morning all. Arsenal are back in action today against a Roy Hodgson team which is likely to be organised, solid in defence and difficult to beat. Watford need points and you can bet your bottom dollar that they’ll fight as hard as they can to get all three. Watford have drawn 2, lost 3 and […]
Morning all. What an upsetting few days it’s been for Australian cricket and cricket as a whole. For two sets of family and friends too who’ve been left heartbroken. Rodney Marsh suffered a heart attack which proved to be fatal and no sooner Shane Warne had posted his condolences on social media, he too has […]
Morning all. Five Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, five FA Cups, three League Cups and two Europa League Cups. That’s what Roman Abramovich and his vast amounts of money have bought during his twenty years as Chelsea owner. Managers have come and gone, 13 of them to be precise, as have many multi […]
Morning all. Middlesbrough v Totts last night was entertaining. No, not the football churned out by Conte’s team but ‘Boro, and their 114th minute winner. The home team looked like Lady Luck was against them as so many golden opportunities went wide or over the bar but eventually, they got the job done. Fully deserved […]
Morning all. Arsenal announced a record loss of more than £100m for the year ending 31 May, 2021, £85 million of which has been because of Covid 19 after just two fixtures were played with fans inside The Emirates last season. As a result, matchday revenue fell by £75m to £3.8m. Ouch. I’m not going […]
Morning all. Well well, Man Utd dropped another two points at Old Trafford yesterday. Great news. Not just for Arsenal but for all the clubs trying to chase down a Champions League finish in May. Shame Leeds forgot to wake up and be ready for the arrival of the Totts. After losing 6-0 to Liverpool […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta: Pepe ( well, his partner) had a baby last night. At 2-3am (Thursday morning) he text me and said ‘Yeah I want to come and help the team’. So this thing happened and it isn’t a coincidence, it’s because the togetherness and unity is there. I know we didn’t kick off until […]
Morning all. Well that game had it all. For the neutral, it was probably enjoyable but I found it frustrating because we looked so out of ideas in the final third. I thought to myself, if the Arsenal team was a pop group, it’d be called Everything But The Goals! Wolves took the lead thanks […]
Morning all. Last night’s result at Burnley yet again proves that this League is unpredictable. The result, a 1-0 victory for the home team over Totts, did us a favour though. Antonio Conte was in fine form during his post match interview. Bless him, he’s not used to losing. He said something about different coaches, […]
