Morning all. I wrote a long piece yesterday ahead of the NLD this afternoon but binned it. So many questions were in the original like should Xhaka come back into a team which has won the last two League games, should Aubameyang start or Lacazette bearing in mind the latter was part of the team […]

Morning all. Another great weekend of sport is upon us. The Ryder Cup kicks off later today, there’s a big clash at the top of the Premier League table between Chelsea and Man City and the big fella is back in the ring. Anthony Joshua whose reportedly an Arsenal fan. Then on Sunday afternoon, it’s […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game, just the highlights, so can’t comment on how we played but we scored three goals which was enough to secure a place in the next round. That fixture will be against Leeds at The Emirates Stadium in the last week of October. The pick of the goals was […]
Morning all. Arsenal have three fixtures to get through before the October international break is upon us. Wimbledon FLC H – tonight. Toots PL H – Sunday. Brighton PL A – 2nd October. I’m sure the League Cup isn’t a priority for Arsenal this season but nevertheless, the competition is important in many ways. It […]
Morning all. When Arsenal announced that Mika Biereth had joined the club and signed his first professional deal back in July, I doubt many Arsenal fans took a lot of notice. Admittedly, I didn’t. The 18 year old came from Fulham off the back of being the under 18 Premier League south’s 2020/21 top scorer […]
Morning all. Arsenal climbed the table by a few places yesterday after beating Burnley at Turf Moor. A perfectly placed free kick from Martin Ødegaard was enough to seal all three points. I’d say that’s a great result, even if the performance was far from perfect. Aaron Ramsdale was excellent I thought. There’s just something […]
Morning all. Burnley’s Connor Roberts, Kevin Long and Dale Stephens miss today’s match through injury. Arsenal have Thomas Partey back fit but whether Mikel Arteta will risk him from the start against what’s expected to be a physical battle with Sean Dyche’s team remains to be seen. The last thing anyone needs is to see our […]
Morning all. Football managers do give us all a few giggles don’t they? Players too, I type, as Eric Cantona’s ‘seagulls, trawlers and sardines’ comment springs to mind. Arsene Wenger’s little battles with Mourinho, Fergie and anyone who cheesed the Frenchman off, were often the best, or worst depending on whichever way you look at […]
Morning all. I can only remember two Charlie’s playing for Arsenal, Charlie George and Charlie Nicholas. George was a character who went from watching his team from the stands to playing on the green green grass of Highbury. 1970-1971 was his season, or at least it was in my head. That FA Cup goal and […]
Morning all. The transfer window might be shut until the 1st January 2022, a day which will be here before we know it, it doesn’t stop the newspapers from speculating who will do what. Like Silva not staying in England when/if he leaves City which will frustrate Arsenal as they’re keen on signing him. I […]
Morning all. Not having an Arsenal midweek fixtures to look forward to feels weird but considering the international break consisted of three matches instead of the usual two, at least our players will get plenty of recovery time between domestic fixtures. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Sambi Lokonga, who Mikel Arteta said were struggling a bit against […]
Morning all. I’ve not seen the game, nor have I seen any highlights but I do know we won. Lol 30 shots on goal, 10 on target – whichever way you choose to look at those numbers, has to be an improvement. Of course we want to see more chances converted but hopefully that’ll come. […]
