Morning all. It’s weird not having a European fixture to talk about during a week when other clubs are playing. In fact it’s the first time since HH began in 2010. Those eleven years have gone by so quickly haven’t they? During those eleven years, Arsenal Football Club has not had such a sort out […]

Morning all. Toots sacked another manager yesterday which was funny until Sky Sports announced that Antonio Conte is likely to accept the position. Having already won the Premier League with Chelsea, he knows all about the English game. Mind you, so did Jose Mourinho and we know how that worked out. Exactly the same as […]
Morning all. Still feeling chipper after the weekends results? Yes, me too, even more so after the Arsenal Women beat Brighton 3-0 in the FA Cup semi-final yesterday and do I dare add that Emi Martinez conceding another four goals made me smile too? I loved him as an Arsenal player and I totally understood […]
Morning all. Much was said before yesterday’s game or rather written as Leicester City were declared the team Arsenal needed to beat if they were to prove this unbeaten run was the real deal. I think similar was written in the back pages before the Aston Villa game but of course, that soon changed to […]
Morning all. Is this the fixture which will tell us where Arsenal really are right now? Perhaps it is. We know we’re not in the same financial league as Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs and we’re some way off of the level Liverpool are at so what’s important for Arsenal is to not lose […]
Morning all. Man City were knocked out of the League Cup last night, the competition they’ve won for the last four years. It took penalties for West Ham to beat them, just as it did Leicester City to get past Brighton at the King Power Stadium. Brendan Rogers made ten changes to the team which […]
Morning all. That was alright wasn’t it? A mixture of players from the entire squad with Ben White and ESR the only two included from the team which beat Aston Villa. I was surprised to see them both start especially as Mikel Arteta said after the game that White had been feeling unwell. Thankfully, […]
Morning all. If there’s one thing, although I’m sure there’s more, Mikel Arteta is good at, it’s his engagement with the fans. I can’t recall an Arsenal manager constantly referring to the club’s bread and butter as much as Mikel does. Without the fans, home and away, Arsenal would not survive. The same applies to […]
Morning all. Man Utd took an absolute battering by Liverpool at Old Trafford yesterday. To make the day worse for the home team, Pogba was sent off on the hour mark. Ole must be fearing his Utd career is soon to come to an end. According to reports, many home fans upped and left at […]
Morning all. Watford thrashed Everton 5-2 yesterday afternoon which was a good result for Arsenal. As was Man City beating Brighton 4-1 at The Falmer Stadium. It might be early in the season still but any points the club’s above Arsenal drop is good. As long as Mikel Arteta’s team can keep the points tally […]
Morning all. I don’t think it’ll just be Mikel Arteta who’s very pleased but all Arsenal fans too. That was a very good performance. The Emirates was loud from start to finish. Super stuff. The changes Mikel Arteta made had an impact on the way the team played. Sambi Lokonga in for Martin Ødegaard, […]
Morning all. Dean Smith brings his Aston Villa team to The Emirates tonight. Like Arsenal, their season so far has been mixed. They’ve beaten Man Utd, Everton and Newcastle but lost to Chelsea, Toots, Watford and Wolves. A draw with Brentford their other result. Jack Grealish departed in the summer but Villa spent the money […]
