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 […]
Morning all. William Saliba might not have had lots to do, but what he did do, he did with consummate ease. Bigger tests will come but I doubt he’ll fear them. He’s tall, athletic and pretty darn quick. The game itself, and the 4-1 scoreline in our favour is irrelevant in my opinion. Prob Holding […]
Morning all. Twitter is a great thing, or at least it is much of the time. Like any social media outlet or football blog etc, there’s always the odd few who think it’s their place and right to say what they like to who they like, but otherwise, it’s informative. Footballers hang out there, their […]
Morning all. Thank goodness Vinai Venkatesham told us that we mustn’t believe all that is written about Arsenal because otherwise I’d be really disappointed come the end of the transfer window. Lol. Goodness only knows how many players we’ve been linked to already this summer and bearing in mind there’s over a full month of […]
Morning all. Its been a long time since the Arsenal first team have been involved in a Champions League quarterfinals. 2009/10 season I think it was. 2-2 at home in the first leg followed by a 4-1 defeat in Catalonia and we were history. The Champions League and Arsenal haven’t exactly got on. 2006 was […]
