Morning all. A short post this morning as for a change, I have something other than talking about Arsenal to do. Yes I know, how can that be. The newspapers and NN headlines are going to town on the club after the redundancy news. Scouts are going, admin staff too and now, it’s Ainsley […]

Morning all. Times are tough. Covid-19 has hit big companies, small companies and its hit hard. It’s hit Arsenal. We knew the finances were struggling a while ago when players/staff agreed to take a pay cut. Now it appears that 55 redundancies are next. I can remember Arsene Wenger once saying that Arsenal’s employment numbers had […]
Morning all. Finally. A glimpse of our last summer signing in training at Arsenal. Having missed out on the final St Étienne fixture which turned into a mass brawl at one stage, he joined up with his new teammates before heading off for a summer break. But not before talking to the Arsenal Player. […]
Morning all. It’s the summer holidays, the players are resting or eating McDonald’s. Perhaps having a beer or three, or a few glasses of something very cold and very fizzy whilst browsing the internet. Why not, it’s their downtime albeit not for long. A week, maybe two or three at the most of rest and […]
Morning all. Will he, won’t he? The whole world of football, well, Arsenal fans and the footballing media, are desperate to know the answer. Aubameyang is the in form striker in England, the top of the Premier League goals scored table since the day he arrived in north London. I’d imagine that unless one is […]
Morning all. Sometimes there are no words. Sometimes actions, or reactions, say much more. To see Emi Martinez break down in tears after Arsenal had clinched a 14th FA Cup Trophy, showed how much it meant. His ten year journey with the club, often not actually playing for his club, delivered a trophy. A […]
Morning all. The big day has finally arrived. Arsenal are back at Wembley for the FA Cup Final. Arsenal v’s Chelsea. Mikel Arteta v’s Frank Lampard, Giroud up against his old club. Number 14 Cup up for grabs for Arsenal, for Chelsea, an opportunity to avenge defeat in 2017 and 2002. Much is being made […]
Morning all. Nathan Ake moving to Man City for £41 million is good news for Arsenal I think. We’ve two English centre-backs, both with experience and both saleable. Rob Holding and Calum Chambers are good players but neither have set the world alight when fit. I might sound harsh but if Mari and Mustafi had […]
Morning all. Our FA Cup campaign kicked off with what was probably considered to be a kind tie. We were at home against EFL Championship side Leeds United and were runaway winners. Well, not quite runaway but winners nevertheless thanks to Reiss Nelson. When the balls were drawn for the next round, a trip to […]
Morning all. Two years ago, Karl Hein joined Arsenal. (No, I didn’t know either) He was just 16 years old at the time but the Estonian national goalkeeper signed from FC Nomme United has since signed his first professional contract. His name has been in the press recently because in saying yes to Arsenal, he’d said […]
Morning all. Arsenal fans might not have liked what Troy Deeney once said about Arsenal and the lack of balls running through the squad but who at the time disagreed? I know I didn’t. Didn’t like hearing it, especially from that little s**t but he was right. We’d blown a 1-0 lead back in 2017, […]
Morning all. Watford outplayed us yesterday in every department barring goals scored. They had energy, desire, passion, heart. They didn’t give up on the very slim chance of Premier League survival they had before kickoff. Watford had nothing to lose. They were relegated barring a miracle so for ninety minutes they could afford to play […]
