Morning all. I watched the below interview on Sky Sports this morning and I’m glad I did. It’s true, Mikel could have played for England, he wanted to play for England. He wanted to give something back to the country which had given him the opportunity to be the man he is today. He plays […]

Morning all. Sports around the world continue to deal with the issues around the coronavirus pandemic. Mikel Arteta still hopes to have Kieran Tierney in his squad for tomorrow evening’s fixture. In his pre-match press conference he said that discussions with the authorities were still going on and hopefully the outcome will favour Arsenal. Sead […]
Morning all. Eddie Nketiah had a mixed night for the England under 21’s. No doubt desperate to overtake Alan Shearer’s goal tally, he fluffed a golden opportunity from the penalty spot. However, on 88 minutes he got his goal. Good on him. The more confidence he builds within, the better it is, not just for […]
Morning all. I’m feeling very well, I’m regaining confidence and I can feel my knee is better. After an injury like this you are kind of scared to force the knee again but the past couple of weeks it has been fine and soon I can start training with the ball. I think we […]
Morning all. Bergkamp and Wright, Bergkamp and Henry. Bergkamp and anyone really. Vieira and Petit, Gilberto, Parlour or Edu and Adams with Bould or Keown more often than not, excelled. Campbell and Toure were a special pairing too, one with speed, the other with everything. In my opinion, Sol Campbell was Arsene Wenger’s best ever signing […]
Morning all. When the first Pay Per View match involving Arsenal comes along, will you pay £14.95 to watch on your big screen? That’s a question I’m struggling to answer and have done since the Premier League announced this new scheme. Of course I want to watch the team but, as well as paying for […]
Morning all. It was never going to take a rocket scientist or footballing genius to work out who was likely to be left out of our Europa League squad. Of course, it was two players who for whatever reason, has not played much under Mikel Arteta. Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mesut Ozil. William Saliba has missed out […]
Morning all. The signs are worrying. Kieran Tierney has already gone into a 14 day isolation and now, the Arsenal Academy has had to be shut down according to a report in The Athletic which quotes an Arsenal spokesperson as saying: We can confirm that a member of staff from our Hale End Academy has tested […]
Morning all. Happy now? Arsenal left it late but what a great way to end this summer transfer window. Many deals went through yesterday but Arsenal smashed it with the signing of Thomas Partey, the midfield player many of us wanted to see arrive at the club. Partey is no ordinary player. He’s been playing […]
Morning all. Football, a game of two halves. Six words which have been used to describe an Arsenal teams performance for a few years now. Yesterday was little different. The first half was horrid to watch, at least it was for me. Luiz could have been sent off, Berge definitely should have been sent for an […]
Morning all. I read two ridiculous headlines on NewsNow yesterday. The first being how Arsenal’s transfer window is on the verge of being a disaster, the second about how Emi Martinez said his move to Aston Villa was a step up. Wrong! What he’s said is that a move to Villa is a step up […]
Morning all. The Europa League draw took place yesterday and in the same group as Arsenal is, League of Ireland side Dundalk, Rapid Vienna and Molde. Well that’s a kind draw if ever I’ve seen one. Short trips on the away days are always helpful. Our first fixture of this year’s competition takes place […]
