Morning all. Finally, we know our route to the Champions League Final, if we’re to make it of course. PSV Eindhoven is our next challenge and they’ll be difficult to overcome. Stupid thing to write though really as every opponent at this stage will be tough. A potential tie […]

Morning all. When Darwin Nunez fired his shot wide in the final moments of Liverpool’s match against Aston Villa last night, I’m sure I could hear every Arsenal fan cheering. Liverpool had taken an early lead but before half-time, Tielemans and Watkins had given Aston Villa a 2-1 lead. On the hour, […]
Morning all. Having already been fined £65,000 for failing to control its players, Howard Webb admitted that Michael Oliver’s decision to send Myles Lewis-Skelly off against Wolves was a wrong one. It wasn’t a “horrendous mistake” he said however, I think the majority of people who were watching that game would strongly disagree. Any […]
Morning all. The Arsenal women thrashed Totts 5-0 at The Emirates on Sunday afternoon. I bet Renée Slegers players wished they could play them every week as it was an easy victory. A Russo header deflected in by Totts Hunt, started things off with goals by goals from Caldentey, Maanum, Russo and Fox to […]
Morning all. With Liverpool drawing their game in hand with Everton during the week, the pre-match prediction of a 9 point gap opening up at the top didn’t happen. A 98th minute equaliser from James Tarkowski not only secured a point for Everton but it sparked a bit of nastiness between the two […]
Afternoon guys. The bad news just keeps on coming for Arsenal. After Gabriel Martinelli picked up an injury last week which is likely to keep him out of the game for a month, it seems Kai Havertz has picked up a hamstring injury which according to David Ornstein, is so bad he won’t […]
Morning all. I watched a bit of football yesterday. Arsenal women’s 2-0 victory over London City Lionesses in the FA Cup was a bit of a bland game but what I found quite amusing, rightly or wrongly, was hearing the “oooooooooooooooooh you’re sh*t ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” being shouted loudly by what sounded like a […]
Afternoon guys. Just like the men, Arsenal’s women were knocked out of the League Cup this week. Man City won the game 2-1 with literally the last kick of the game. Having gone 1-0 down, we equalised from the penalty spot. City then had a penalty of their own […]
Morning all. What did I say about the “Arsenal need a striker” debate? Well, just a few days after thumping City, Arsenal showed zero composure or real threat in front of goal during last nights defeat against Newcastle so it’s back. Not that it’s ever really gone away. After all the pre match […]
Morning all. I feel a bit flat, disappointed, yet not surprised. After all the chat about how the club are trying hard to sign reinforcements after suffering injuries to both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal did nothing during this transfer window. The frustrating thing is, we needed a goal scorer before those […]
Morning all. How many times have you and I heard pundits say “there’s not enough contact for me” after one of our players has been fouled in the opposition box? Too many to recall. This morning I saw the penalty Liverpool were awarded against Bournemouth and it has to be up there with some […]
Morning all. Back in the old days, it was Arsene Wenger against Fergie, Arsenal against Manchester United. The game football waited for each season, certainly during Arsene’s first ten seasons at the club. These days though, it’s the blue side of Manchester v Arsenal which is hogging the pre match weekend headlines. […]
