Morning all. A game to forget. Tired legs, not at the races, disinterested, call it what you like, but the result is the same. I’m not surprised after the week Arsenal have had. If I was a cynic, I’d say our players were about as interested in winning that game as I’d be in […]

Morning all. Another match tonight, our penultimate for the season as far as the league goes. I expect Aston Villa to make it tough for us because it’s do or die time for them. Arsenal can go a long way towards relegating them tonight by giving them a good hiding. Oddly enough, if Man City […]
Morning all. Still on cloud nine? Get off it because tomorrow it’s back to the League as Aston Villa await our arrival. Relegation looms large for the West Midlands club and I’d like to think Arsenal will do them no favours. With just two League fixtures left, and an FA Cup Final, the next part […]
Morning all. Pinch, punch… No, it’s not the first day of a new month. It’s the end of a week in which Arsenal have beaten the newly appointed League Champions and the runners up. Neither victory came with the kind of football one would associate with Arsenal. Not post George Graham anyway. Both were disciplined, […]
Morning all. Pep Guardiola says Mikel Arteta is “creating something unique” at Arsenal and feels the Gunners will challenge for trophies under the Spaniard. There is no better person to do the job than Mikel,” said Guardiola. “They have team spirit. Mikel has created.” Just what ‘unique’ will turn out to be only time will […]
Morning all. Dani Ceballos: 🔴⚪️💪⚽️Believe + Determination + Effort + Work + Team = Great victory!🙌🏻 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: “WTF didn’t even get the VAR on this one.” The second relating to Alexander-Arnold’s tackle on Bukayo Saka. It’s a question many in the footballing world would love answered by Mike Riley. Especially Eddie Nketiah who […]
Morning all. Bit of a rushed scribble today as things to be done. Liverpool fans to visit. I’m kidding, about the latter. Football fans were sure of two things before Arsenal kicked off against Liverpool at 8-15pm yesterday. The five substitute ruling will continue next season and the transfer window will open on the 27th […]
Morning all. I doubt any Arsenal fan will be overly shocked to see Kieran Tierney pick up the June player of the month award. Nor Dani Ceballos being awarded goal of the month either. Two players who for different reasons, have had a mixed season yet here they are now, probably two of our […]
Morning all. As the burning embers of the north London Derby defeat turn into cold ash, perhaps it’s worth remembering what’s going on at Arsenal and what’s gone on. What’s gone on is frailty, the ability to switch the panic button quicker than Hector Bellerin used to be able to cover fifty yards, the inability […]
Morning all. That kind of Mourinho style of football is nothing new. In some ways I suppose we should take it as a compliment because he knew that if his shoddy Toots team tried to have a go at us, we’d have been more of a threat. Instead, he did what he does best, suck […]
Morning all. I was listening to 5live yesterday lunchtime where a healthy debate was taking place over an article written in the Independent about when you know a manager’s past it. Ex players talked about tactics, concentrating on one aspect of the game and not the other and perhaps more importantly, how his or her […]
Morning all. Such a shame Alli isn’t playing tomorrow but a shame Arry Kane is. Son too for that matter purely because they both like a tumble in the box. VAR and Michael Oliver will be waiting. Waiting to make amends for the cockup against Bournemouth. Simple solution, don’t give them the opportunity to do […]
