Morning all. It’s not good enough. There is no way to disguise it. It’s terrible, to be honest. It’s not what we are, not where we are as a club. It’s not what the fans deserve, it’s not what the manager deserves, it’s not what the board deserve. It’s us players that need to […]

Morning all. I suppose there’s a couple of talking points from yesterday’s defeat. The darn right stupidity from Xhaka followed by another stupid moment by Elneny. I understood the foul on the halfway line to stop Burnley from breaking away but just take the booking and walk away. Xhaka didn’t because for some bizarre reason […]
Morning all. Arsenal are struggling. The domestic season has been terrible and we’re stuck in a rut. We seem to be quick sand and we’re sinking fast. The team needs a win, Mikel Arteta needs a win, we simply have to stop this bad run. I don’t think it matters how that win comes either, […]
Morning all. Burnley are a really organised team. They are a constant threat because they are really direct but they play that game really, really well. They manage their first, second and third phases really well, the way they attack the box, set-pieces are key against them as well. They are difficult to break […]
Morning all. Not quite the highly entertaining, free and fast flowing performance I expected but a good job done nevertheless. On a crappy pitch. Four good goals for the Arsenal, the best being Elneny’s. Where did that strike come from eh? All four goals were quite different, something the first team could do with emulating. […]
Morning all. It’s three in a row for Gabriel after he was awarded the November player of the month by fans on the official website. Youngsters Joe Willock and Bukayo Saka were voted second and third respectively. Doesn’t that sum up Arsenal right now? Not a senior or long term Arsenal first team player […]
Morning all. The above instagram post is from the agent of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. A not so subtle dig at Mikel Arteta for Arsenal’s style of football. It’s not his players fault of course, oh no, it’s ok for him to sign a new contract and then down tools. Aubameyang was happy enough to lift […]
Morning all. Arsenal were mugged. Two counter attacks which both came from a misplaced pass in Toots half. Son with a wonderful strike, Kane with a powerful strike to beat Leno at his near post. The stats will show we bossed the game as far as possession goes, that apart from their two goals we […]
Morning all. The form of both clubs going into this first north London Derby of the season couldn’t be more different. For Arsenal it’s been a terrible start to the 2020/21 season, the worst since 1981-82. 13 points from the opening 10 games is relegation form. 14th place, which Mikel Arteta and his team currently occupy […]
A football club like Arsenal has a rich and storied history. What that does is create facts and trivia that all Gunners fans can boast about to their friends. Given their stature as one of the world’s foremost clubs, Arsenal often feature in easy to hard football quizzes, and some fans will have encyclopaedic […]
Morning all. ‘I can’t wait anymore’ Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang told Arsenal Media. “I think this is the game that we have to understand is going to be the turning point for us for this season. What’s better than the derby? I think if we win this game, everyone is going to maybe change their […]
Morning all. How fitting it was that Arsenal were the first Premier League club to see the return of the fans. Nine months after Mikel Arteta tested positive for Coronavirus, bringing football in England to a halt and fans unable to be present even when the game resumed, The Emirates opened its doors on […]
