Morning all. The news coming out of Arsenal this week has been positive. Gabriel Martinelli’s injury is minor and he’ll be back training by the end of the week. Thomas Partey and Gabriel are back in the squad but the big news has been the contract extension signed by Rob Holding. I don’t think I’ll […]

Morning all. The next two games are ‘crucial’ said Mikel Arteta. Probably because both are at home and his team need another six points. But not only that, we need to keep the confidence high and only winning will achieve that. Plus, our home results have been pretty grim until now so that’s also something […]
Morning all. It seems David Ornstein and his chums at The Athletic are the most reliable of sports outlets. The newspaper is not for its glorious or misleading headlines, unlike a few I could mention. This morning, that very newspaper has some interesting information which is best shared. Arsenal centre-back Rob Holding has committed his […]
Morning all. That was a bit of a huff, puff and eventually blow the Newcastle defence down. Two cracking goals won the tie in the end though. The first was about three things, Saka to start the move rolling, the strength and determination of Lacazette and the finest of finishes from ESR. The second was […]
Morning all. Not one single player name on the injured list. Gabriel and Partey might lack match fitness but they’re back. Both might get minutes tonight, both might have to wait until Crystal Palace turn up at The Emirates for our next League fixture. No idea what kind of a team Mikel Arteta will […]
Morning all. What does a club do with £120 million bank loan? Lord only knows but they have taken one which ‘partially assist in managing the impact of the revenue losses attributable to the pandemic.’ Apparently it’s to be repaid by May 2021 so I’m not sure what the benefits are. Onto other things, loans, sales […]
2021 I’m coming…🔥🚨 pic.twitter.com/nQhp1CEa2u — Balogun (@balogun) January 4, 2021 Morning all. I’m probably in a minority but if Arsenal secure just one deal this month and it’s the Folarin Balogun, I’ll be pretty happy. Firstly it’d mean Klopp has failed in his attempt to lure him away from Arsenal but more importantly, he’s […]
Morning all. Arsenal confirmed yesterday that William Saliba has joined Nice until the end of the season but he’s coming back.Or at least that’s the plan. Technical director Edu said: William Saliba is a player with a huge amount of talent and potential. We’re confident he will have a great career with us but we […]
Morning all. Chris Sutton: Break Government guidelines, get caught, copy and paste an apology from your agent on social media, then carry on as normal. That is the way it seems to go. It did not sit right seeing Luka Milivojevic lead Crystal Palace out on Saturday after spending New Year’s Eve with Aleksandar Mitrovic, […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta stuck with his back five which had won the last two games. Ceballos was preferred to Elneny, with Aubameyang and Lacazette joining forces up front for the first time in a while. Martinelli had a breather but ESR and Saka, both pretty difficult to leave out, started once more. Just two […]
Morning all. The first fixture of 2021 is upon us and what a place to go to. What a manager to face too in Big Sam. Does it get any worse? Big Sam has been employed by West Brom in attempt to avoid relegation. He started his mind games almost as soon as he walked […]
Morning all. 2020 has been a pretty dismal year or us all. Covid-19 swept across the world, taking thousands and thousands of lives as it travelled. An evil virus which shows no signs of letting up. Thankfully, two vaccines have now been approved and are being rolled out at a rapid rate of knots. […]
