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. […]
Morning all. ‘The last few results won’t change our approach to the window’ said Mikel Arteta and rightly so. As good as the last two results have been, to believe Martinelli, ESR and Saka for that matter can be the saviours every game would be naive, stupid even. The alternative options are William, Ozil […]
Morning all. Corner turned? No, of course not. It’s far too soon to be thinking all that was wrong is now right. However, two big wins on the bounce makes a refreshing change. Apart from Lacazette dropping to bench, allowing Aubameyang to return from injury, the starting eleven was the same as Boxing Day. The […]
Morning all. Brighton – Away West Brom – Away Crystal Palace – Home Newcastle – Home Southampton – Away Man Utd – Home Add in the FA Cup match against Newcastle at home and if we happen to win that one, a next round fixture too and that’s January’s fixtures for Arsenal. Not quite true […]
Morning all. Agendas, we all have them don’t we? Or can you, reading this, honestly say you’re a ‘take things day by day’ kind of person? I’ve always believed there’s no point in worrying about tomorrow when today is just beginning. A football club can’t be run in such a way of course because people […]
Morning all. When the team news came through, I’d no idea Covid had forced Mikel Arteta to make a few changes. That’s assuming Mikel opted to change his team around because of it of course. I first thought ‘at last, he’s changing tact’. No Willian, Gabriel or Luiz. No Aubameyang or Pepe to start with […]
Morning all. Arsenal face Chelsea at The Emirates today, just a few days after we were royally thumped by Man City. So often in the past we’d be tempted to deflect such a defeat by dismissing the League Cup, or that the manager had played a second string team which is true of course, but […]
Morning to you all. I hope your day is filled with joy, happiness and much love. And Zoom. We might not all be able to get together with as many family members we’d like to but there’ll be other years. Next year hopefully. Spare a thought though for those on their own, give them […]
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 […]
