Morning all. We all know that ‘new deal’ and ‘Arsenal signing’ headlines which fill the sports pages and NewNow need to be taken with a large pinch of salt but as the saying goes, sometimes there’s no smoke without a fire. Football London ran a story the other day which quoted Martin Ødegaard as telling […]

Morning all. A game started in daylight yet ended in darkness and with Arsenal fans near and far, happy. After a weird opening five minutes or so of little but sideways and backwards passing, Arsenal found their stride. Saka, ESR and debutant Ødegaard were playing well. Less than fifteen minutes gone in the game and […]
Morning all. I tuned in to the City game yesterday afternoon. What a bore fest it was. Football misses the fans in a massive way. I don’t mean the money although we know that’s causing different problems for most clubs but stadiums need to be full to creative an atmosphere. Fans, thousands of them […]
Morning all. The Premier League, FA, EFL, WSL, Women’s Championship, PFA, LMA, PGMOL and Kick It Out have all co-signed the letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook founder, chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerburg, asking them “for reasons of basic human decency” to use the power of their systems to end the abuse. – […]
Morning all. Football London reckon this might be our kit for next season. Real or not I don’t know but I like it. A lot. Patrick Bamford has been quoted as telling Leeds United’s official channel: ‘Do you know what? He (Alioski) said in the changing room, I can’t wait for Sunday. I was like “why?”. […]
Morning all. Back in 2004, Arsene Wenger and his Arsenal team had just beaten Toots 5-4. A scoreline that little man from Portugal called a disgrace. A ‘hockey score’ he said, ‘not football.’ Not that anyone Arsenal related would have given a toss what his views were back then, or now for that matter but […]
Morning all. A short read this morning. I know, it’s usually a short read but why say/write 1000 words when just a few will do? A decision has been made regarding our Europa League fixtures against Benfica and both ties will be played at a neutral ground as Portugal is on the UK red list […]
Morning all. William Saliba: It is clear that so much has changed in the last year. When I saw that the coach changed, a lot changed for me too. In this year there has been a lot of change. He judged me on two-and-a-half matches. I would have liked for him to play me more. But […]
Reiss Nelson v Chelsea U23s pic.twitter.com/mYf97uc3XS — Hale End (@HaleEndStuff) February 5, 2021 Morning all. Nice free kick eh? Better than most we see the first team players execute. Have we actually scored from a free kick in the League other than the ones from Lacazette and Xhaka? Jamie Redknapp: What is happening to […]
Morning all. Having been beaten by Wolves, I thought Arteta and his players would be up for yesterday’s game. I expected a big response, but was left disappointed. Our football in the first half was pretty poor, not helped by the rotational fouling committed by Villa but let’s not hide behind that because fouling is […]
Morning all. It’s fair to say that one of Arsenal’s current standout players is Emile Smith Rowe but for a change it’s nice to be to say he’s one of many. Of course he and Saka will always be talked about more because they’re both still very young. I read that our ‘Croydon de Bruyne’ […]
Morning all. 24 hours later and it doesn’t feel any better. In fact the more I read other people’s opinion and watch further footage, the David Luiz sending off gets worse. We won’t miss his presence in defence in my opinion because we have Gabriel and Mari to call upon but the numbers made a […]
