Morning all. Mikel Arteta dished up a few team selection surprises for our trip to Man City with Willock and Nketiah preferred to the more experienced Lacazette and Ceballos. Mari was picked ahead of Luiz too. I thought we started really well but then Granit Xhaka twisted his ankle. Off he went and on […]

Morning all. I started this a couple of months ago, today I can finally finish it. I’m not sure if I’m looking forward tonight or not. Part of me wants to believe this group of players are going to stand up to Man City and be counted. Match them with our football, […]
Morning all. Remember the song all those years ago? Zoom by Fat Larry’s Band. Loved it then, detest it now but that’s what happens when something is repeated time and time again. A bit like an Arsene Wenger Press Conference. None of that yesterday though as Mikel Arteta plonked himself in front of a camera […]
Morning all. Two days to go until Arsenal restart their season, yet the media and NewsNow/Arsenal is full of transfer rumours. Most are ridiculous like the one to Silva who is closer to quitting the game than restarting a career in the toughest league there is going but some of them might turn out […]
Morning all. If ever there was a warning that the grass really isn’t always greener on the other side, the Aaron Ramsey move to Juventus is a big fat one. I can only think that his agents were right behind this last summer. A chance to earn an enormous chunk of his deal which earns […]
Morning all. The Arsenal before and after the Coronavirus break looks quite different. I don’t mean with the social distancing, lack of supporters, or the new hair styles are players are wearing but the players themselves. Before the break in this season. Ainsley Maitland-Niles was allegedly in the naughty corner, yet now […]
Morning all. Well that didn’t quite go to plan did it? The last friendly before facing Man City and we got walloped. Just as beating Charlton meant very little, losing to Brentford means very little too. Another run out for our players, a first for Bukayo Saka since the break, the very first for Trae […]
Morning all. We’re well into single figures now as the season nears resumption. Arsenal are one of the four teams to kick things off a week from today. I know you already know that but in case you’ve slept and thought football returning was just a dream, I’m reminding you that it’s not. It’s real. […]
Morning all. The rumour mill is gathering pace but as Chelsea seem to be digging deep for gold to spend, Arsenal, without Champions League money for the last couple of years, will no doubt be looking at a very different group of players if they are to bolster the squad this summer. That isn’t to […]
Morning all. I read an article by Alex Richards in The Mirror this morning. He was writing about Ainsley Maitland-Niles and how after being ‘chastised by Mikel Arteta, perhaps his future is bright after forcing his way back into the Spaniard’s plans.’ Firstly, I don’t recall AMN ever being chastised. All I ever heard […]
Morning all. According to The Mirror, Arsenal have and still are, firing scouts. The newspaper suggests this move is down to the impact Coronavirus has had on the club. Finances are tight and this is a cost cutting move. No names have mentioned, just ‘senior scouts’ along with those responsible for spotting the likes of […]
Morning all. Charlie Nicholas often has something to say about his old team and I have to be honest, seldom do I disagree with him. Arsenal ‘cannot expect to compete at the top of the Premier League again until poor decision-making on recruitment and player contracts is addressed’ he told Sky Sports Football Show. Along […]
