Morning all. There’s a lot going on in the real world, but as far as Arsenal goes, it’s pretty quiet. AMN is failing in Italy under Mourinho, if the sports headlines are to believed but Lucas Torreria is expected to stay where he is beyond the summer. Italy loves him and he loves Italy. Goodie. At […]

Morning all. The fixture schedule for Arsenal over the next three months is bonkers. We go from playing Wolves on Thursday night to nothing until the 6th March when we travel to Watford. Then, we have three fixtures in ten days, Leicester City and Liverpool at The Emirates, Aston Villa at Villa Park. The Premier […]
Morning all. So, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick for his new club Barcelona yesterday, so what? That’s what can happen when a player moves clubs and it shows the right decision was made to let him go. Auba wasn’t doing what he did yesterday for Arsenal. He wasn’t happy, he was doing things which didn’t […]
Morning all. Having not seen the game or the much rumoured dodgy decisions from Jon Moss yet, I can’t comment on how Arsenal played. But I’ve seen the goals and both were brilliant. I suggested yesterday that we needed Emile Smith Rowe back in the team because he’s our main goal threat and he didn’t […]
Morning all. What a day it was yesterday, I’ve never seen trees bend as much as they did during storm Eunice. Rain, sleet, snow, we had it all but I managed to keep busy ploughing through The Sopranos. The players had to ditch the outdoor training yesterday and head into the gym and other indoor […]
Morning all. Another interesting weekend of football fixtures are just a day away. Can newly form finding Newcastle Utd spring a surprise at the London Stadium? Will the attacking football of Leeds Utd be too much for under fire Maguire to cope with? Is there a chance of Brendan Rogers waking his players up in […]
Morning all. I know Thierry Henry’s comments about Arsenal will have been widely seen and read by now but too bad, here they are again. Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry stressed the importance of Arsenal’s ‘massive’ win at Wolves and now believes his old club are well set for a top four finish. The best thing […]
Morning all. Man Utd got back to winning ways last night with a 2-0 victory over Brighton who played much of the second half with ten men. I didn’t see the game but judging by the reports I’ve read, Utd were perhaps a tad fortunate as Brighton missed several good opportunities to score. Having watched […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love it when Arsenal not only capitalise on results which went before them and then the same two teams who’ve dropped points, go and drop more points? Oh yes! Utd could only draw at home to Southampton and Totts were battered at home by Wolves. Plus, Aston Villa were beaten […]
Morning all. As tempting as it is for me to ridicule Chelsea for celebrating their Club World Cup victory as if it was something special, I’d love to be waking up this morning knowing Arsenal’s name had been engraved on the trophy. Just to be taking part in the competition means so much to football […]
Morning all. Michael Oliver and VAR are once again the talking point. The sending off of Gabriel Martinelli seemed wrong in my opinion. How can a ref play an advantage, stop play for a further foul and then dish out two bookings to the same player? It’s probably written in the rules somewhere, but I […]
Morning all. The season kicks off again for Arsenal tonight but Mikel Arteta’s press conference was more about January. The transfer window, no signings and the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Calum Chambers too but of course, his story isn’t as interesting. Or as dramatic. Is the squad strong enough? We did what we believed was […]
