The Champions League draw takes place today which on paper, sounds interesting, exciting even but it’s not because we know who we’ll face. Atalanta or Bayer Leverkusen. In fact all the English clubs are in the same boat. Arsenal: Bayer Leverkusen or Atalanta Chelsea: Newcastle or PSG Liverpool: Atletico Madrid or Galatasaray Man City: Bodo/Glimt […]

The clamour for an answer to the Arsenal striker conundrum had pretty much rumbled on throughout most of last summers transfer window, was it going to be Benjamin Sesko or Alex Isak or maybe Eketike? Eventually, a long protracted and quite unhappy deal for them, was struck with Sporting Club of Lisboa for the […]
It wasn’t that long ago when Declan Rice stood up to take a free kick against Real Madrid. He couldn’t have hit it better. Could he do it again when Arsenal were awarded a second free kick? You bet he could. It was a great night for him and Arsenal. Rice has to be up […]
Morning all. A story which has rumbled on for a while has now been confirmed by Arsenal Football Club. Bukayo Saka has signed a new long term deal worth a reported £300,000 a week. The journey that I’ve been on, from where I started to where I am now, and the journey the […]
Morning all. 2-0 up and Arsenal royally cocked things up. An early goal from Saka set us up nicely, a second from Hincapie, his first for the club, looked like that was enough to take the points but what followed was awful on the eye. Instead of controlling the game, Mikel Arteta’s players went […]
Morning all. Will a break from the pressures of the Premier League be good for his players? A question put to Mikel Arteta after the disappointing performance against Brentford on Thursday night: We are doing that every week.

I had already watched Brentford comfortably outplay and completely outmuscle Newcastle United at their own St James’ Park stadium last weekend so I was not at all under any illusions about the difficult task at hand for Arsenal at the G-Tec stadium yesterday evening.

Morning all. Roberto De Zerbi has left Marseille with immediate effect, the Ligue 1 club have announced this morning. The Italian has been linked with the Man Utd job since Amorim departed but not for one minute did I see things turning sour at Marseille this quickly. Apparently an exit from the Champions League […]
Morning all. Oh how I cannot wait for the blue skies and sunshine to return. The temperature is irrelevant, I just wish it would stop raining. I’m sure we all do. Football is a funny old game. When the fixtures come think and fast, I/we moan but when they don’t, I miss it. That’s a […]
Morning all. Liverpool came so close to taking a point of Man City but a late and monumental cockup in their defence lead to Haaland scoring a winner from the penalty spot. Things got worse for the Merseysiders as their goal scorer Szoboszlai was shown a red card for preventing Haaland from scoring by […]
Morning all. Renee Slegers is probably enjoying life at Arsenal. Last season, the Champions League trophy and yesterday, she and her players added another trophy to their cabinet last night by beating Corinthians 3-2 in the FIFA Women’s Championship Cup Final. Olivia Smith gave us an early lead in the first half, but six […]
