Morning all. It’s Christmas Eve, with a difference this year as there won’t be much partying going on. At least there shouldn’t be where I live anyway, not being stuck in Tier 4. There’s little point in moaning about it though as moaning wont bring change. Sounds familiar eh. No sooner Santa and his reindeer’s […]

Morning all. So who was wishing for VAR last night then? An offside goal, a probable red card for Fernandinho and decision to be made about City’s second choice keeper after his rash challenge on Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal v the nine men of City and yes, I’d have backed us to win. Our goal […]
Morning all. The crux of Mikel Arteta’s pre match interview was that he’s responsible for the results, he doesn’t read the newspapers or social media and the younger players are taking on more responsibility than they perhaps should be. I don’t blame him for not reading the sports pages and social media as it’s full […]
Morning all. Something rotten is going on at Arsenal. The dressing room is toxic according to headlines on NewsNow. Ex players are blaming current players, Edu, Mikel Arteta or all of them. Players were arguing during the game against Everton and one or two of them have gone behind Mikel’s back to complain about him. […]
Morning all. What a rotten few hours yesterday brought to many of us. Christmas was all but cancelled for many English folk as the South East and London were put into a Tier 4 lockdown. Panic ensued as people hit the shops before they closed at midnight whilst others desperately tried to escape England’s […]
Morning all. A trip down memory lane for Mikel Arteta as he and his players face Everton, the club our manager played for before signing for Arsenal. The young apprentice Mikel Arteta goes head to head with the older and more wise Carlo Ancelotti but he’s no Mourinho, not as far as defensive tactics go. […]
Morning all. It’s another big weekend for Arsenal where three points are much needed and it’s got to the stage where I think it doesn’t matter how we get them. Mikel Arteta and his players simply have to ride this storm and somehow come out the other side. I’m still not convinced Arteta is experienced […]
Morning all. Not quite the result Arsenal wanted or needed but a point is a start. After 35 minutes of looking lost against a Southampton team who were passing the ball around with ease, we finally woke up. But of course by then we’d gone a goal down. Similar to the opening goal we conceded […]
Morning all. At the moment, I’m sorry, but we have to take the bullets. Dropping and dropping down the table is not the situation we want to be in. But this is our reality right now and we have to face it. We have to face it being brave, fighting and no-one giving up or anything. It’s not […]
Morning all. It’s not good enough. There is no way to disguise it. It’s terrible, to be honest. It’s not what we are, not where we are as a club. It’s not what the fans deserve, it’s not what the manager deserves, it’s not what the board deserve. It’s us players that need to […]
Morning all. I suppose there’s a couple of talking points from yesterday’s defeat. The darn right stupidity from Xhaka followed by another stupid moment by Elneny. I understood the foul on the halfway line to stop Burnley from breaking away but just take the booking and walk away. Xhaka didn’t because for some bizarre reason […]
Morning all. Arsenal are struggling. The domestic season has been terrible and we’re stuck in a rut. We seem to be quick sand and we’re sinking fast. The team needs a win, Mikel Arteta needs a win, we simply have to stop this bad run. I don’t think it matters how that win comes either, […]
