Morning guys and gals. The sun is shining on this fine Carabao Cup Final weekend. Are you feeling the nerves just yet or just excitement? Me, I’m feeling a mixture of both so goodness only knows how I’ll feel this time tomorrow when kickoff is just a few hours away. Speaking during his pre-match […]

Morning all. We already knew that Sporting Lisbon would be our Champions League quarter-final opponents but now we know the first leg will take place on Tuesday, April 7th at 8pm (UK time), at the Estádio José Alvalade. The second leg will take place at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, April 15th at 8pm (UK […]
Morning all. Nine points clear at the top of the table, a League Cup Final just days away and of course Arsenal are still in the Champions League as well as the FA Cup, but, we haven’t won anything yet! I don’t know about you guys but I’m not a fan of all the […]
Morning all. I didn’t realise moving to the New Forest would see me bombarded with text messages not only when Southampton win, but when Arsenal stumble to victory. Streaky wins, favouritism from the officials and how our players cheat their way to victory by deploying every dark art in the book – all thrown […]
Morning all. Arsenal seem to have opened a can of worms, a can which never needed to be opened had Howard Webb and his officials received their own memo. In Europe, the grappling in the penalty area is managed better by referees, I think we were awarded a penalty in a Champions League game for […]
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. Every three days we are playing in different competitions, so we are so used to […]
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. Brentford are currently flying and looking like […]
