https://twitter.com/leemarkjudges/status/1280930562841219072?s=20 Morning all. I’ve posted the above link from Twitter because it proves just how inconsistent the officiating is in the Premier League and how VAR is only as good as the person behind it at the time. Burnley’s James Tarkowski was shown a yellow card and VAR saw no reason to to upgrade […]

Morning all. This was a bad night for Arsenal. We’ve lost Eddie for three of the remaining five fixtures, we dropped two points and we conceded a goal for the first time in years! No Champions League for Arsenal next season. Again! The defending for Vardy’s goal was poor and not even the offside flag […]
Morning all. October 2018 seems a lifetime ago now but in the world of football, it was only last season. Unai Emery was just a couple of months into his Arsenal career and Mesut Ozil was in the mood. This was last time Arsenal faced Leicester City at The Emirates in the League. The ‘new […]
Morning all. Question marks will continue to hover over the heads of a few Arsenal players for a few weeks yet. Until this summer transfer window closes, longer in certain cases. That’s we fans do isn’t it, we have our favourites for whatever reason and we have our ‘not good enough’ list too. If the […]
Morning all. Let’s get this little tidbit out the way. It comes from David Ornstein via Daily Cannon. Matteo Guendouzi, I think it looks like his time at Arsenal is coming to an end. Arsenal are offering him in exchange for players they might like to come in, in swap deals. If they as a […]
Morning all. Ding-a-dong, the penny has dropped, whatever expression floats your boat, Arsenal seem to have learned. This has to be Edu and Arteta’s handiwork because it’s they who are doing the post contract signing chit chat for the official Arsenal website. Securing Gabriel Martinelli’s services for the foreseeable is great news. Our talented […]
Morning all. I think it’s fair to say that since Arsenal announced Bukayo Saka had signed a long term contract extension, the focus has turned to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. His two goals against Norwich highlighted his importance to the club. Apparently. I’ve always said that I’m not fussed if he stays or goes and that […]
Morning all. For the last goodness knows how many weeks, months even, the newspapers, football pundits, you name them and they’ve said it. Arsenal allowing Bakuyo Saka to reach the final year of his contract was a disgrace. The knives were out in a big way with their big headlines and big comments just […]
Morning all. Today is the first time Arsenal have played a home fixture since the restart after the outbreak of Covid-19 forced the world into lockdown. Mikel Arteta was one one of the first footballing people to contract the virus. Thankfully for him, his family and The Arsenal, his symptoms were mild. […]
Morning all. For a period of time during Unai Emery’s short Arsenal career, it seemed like we might be on our way to leaving the ‘southern softies’ tag behind us. We had Litchsteiner, Kolasinac, Papa, Mustafi and Xhaka. Torreira too was a little tough nut and Lacazette has never really been afraid to stand up […]
Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi were again left at home again. Both have been given a chance by Mikel Arteta but it seems they’ve blown it. I admired Unai Emery when he dropped Mesut from a great height because his style of play wasn’t working for the Spaniard and now it seems as if […]
Morning all. He’s a big presence. He’s someone who doesn’t hide. He has very clear principles and values, and he puts that on the pitch every time he’s there. His commitment is excellent and he’s a really good example for the rest. But I don’t like to focus on any individual. Mikel Arteta is clearly […]
