Morning all. How on earth has Rob Holding got up so high? His legs must be strong and very springy. VvD, be afraid! Kia Joorabchian, the man who clearly things he can solve everything has waded into the Mesut Ozil situation. The Metro has quoted him as saying he’d have sorted the problem out […]

Morning all. “It wasn’t easy for me to get into the team either because I was coming off the back of a long injury lay-off. I felt like I should be playing but I was wrong about that because I wasn’t fit. The coach was really straight with me and said that if I got […]
Afternoon all. Does it really matter that Aston Villa beat Arsenal in a behind closed doors preseason friendly? Of course not. Friendly fixtures are nothing more than minutes on the pitch, experiment time for Mikel Arteta, a time to give every player available a run out. Also, it’s another chance to see fringe players, perhaps […]
Afternoon all. It’s happened again. I go off on an overnight stay elsewhere and Arsenal dish out good news. This time it’s Dani Ceballos returning for another season on loan which is great news I reckon. Hopefully there’s an option to make the deal permanent next year but I’d be surprised if Real Madrid would […]
Morning all. It’s quite sad to read the quotes from Alexis Sanchez in the newspapers this morning. Fancy moving to another club, yet despite earning £500k a week, you’re as miserable as sin. Going to work day after day but you hate it. Such a scenario goes on daily for many ‘ordinary’ folk but without […]
Morning all. It’s hard not to be pleased with how things are going in this transfer market for Arsenal. Other than Mari and Cedric becoming permanent players, we’ve only added two players in Gabriel and Willian. Of course it seems like three with Saliba finally joining up with the squad but even so, I think […]
Morning all. Numbers 6 and 4. Adams and Vieira, two of Arsenal’s best ever to wear the two shirts. Certainly as far back as my memory will take me. Number 6. Frank McLintock is up there with the best, along with Willie Young, Michael Thomas and David Rocastle for a brief spell. Now it’ll […]
Morning all. The exit door has opened at Arsenal. We knew it was coming because the club’s wage bill is far too high. A Champions League football bill for a European football club we were told. We didn’t need telling mind you because the facts and figures are out there to be read. Henrikh […]
Morning all. Still buzzing over Arsenal putting Liverpool in their place? Sure, me too. Like I suggested the other day, when there’s trophy to be won, the game is serious. The way the Liverpool players sloped off at the soonest opportunity, it was pretty clear they wanted to win. So many positives can be taken […]
Morning all. I read this headline in the Mail Online yesterday. “Arsenal ended a horrid domestic season on a high by winning the FA Cup but they were 43 points and 29 goals worse off than Community Shield opponents Liverpool… so, what must Mikel Arteta do to catch Jurgen Klopp’s mighty Reds?” It […]
Morning all. It’s Cup Final day again. So how did this oddly named season opener come about? It began as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield in 1898, with a game between professionals and amateurs, but it became the FA Charity Shield in 1908 when Football League champions Manchester United played Southern League winners Queens […]
Afternoon all. Mikel Arteta has held his pre Community Shield Press Conference today. No surprise questions fired his way of course because all anyone really wants to know is 1) Is Aubameyang going to sign a new contract and 2) Have Arsenal secured the services of Gabriel Magalhaes? Aubameyang: “I am pretty confident we will […]
