Morning all. Time in Dubai is up. The cold, wet and extremely windy weather will greet the Arsenal squad as they arrive home to the news that Storm Dennis the Menace is on its way. Sounds grim doesn’t it but it’s no different to what we Brits go through after taking a winter vacation. At […]

Morning all. I suggested the other day that our players would be better off keeping quiet about the past and focus on the future. Perhaps if they’d focused on the past at the time it was the present, the club wouldn’t be in the position it is now. Not one person in the squad has […]
Morning all. If reports in the newspapers are to be believed, Aaron Ramsey’s move to Juventus has been a bit of a flop. So much so they’re looking to move him on already. Why the Italians wanted him in the first place left me scratching my head, even more so when the £400k a […]
Morning guys. I’m not sure what to make of all this gushing over Mikel Arteta. I’m sure we all get it, he’s learned from Pep, he bagged up many of his ways, added his own ideas to all he learned before walking back into Arsenal and shaking the place up a bit. It’s no big […]
Morning all. The Arsenal Trio’s Stats This Season – Premier League Only. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Games: 23, Goals: 14, Assists: 1 Alexandre Lacazette. Games: 18, Goals: 5, Assists: 2 Mesut Ozil. Games: 15, Goals: 0, Assists: 1 Either The Sun newspaper are on a serious wind up, in hope of getting us up […]
Some of the quotes allegedly made by the great man Albert Einstein baffle me, others make me smile but there are some which even today, make me think. I guess the reason for that is because every now and again, one particular quote applies to my way of thinking about a current situation. This […]
Morning all. Two weeks without a fixture and the best the club can manage is a miserly four days away. Tight lot. Lol. Mikel Arteta and his merry men land in Dubai on the 7th before returning home on the 11th. Mikel Arteta: As we prepare for several key fixtures, we are looking forward to […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta was not top of my list of contenders to replace Unai Emery but then neither was Unai Emery to replace Arsene Wenger. What I do believe though is that regardless of what my opinion is, or yours for that matter, everyone deserves to be given a chance. A proper chance. Aubameyang, […]
Morning all. I didn’t enjoy that Arsenal performance one bit. Mesut Ozil probably burned up more calories moaning at the referee than he did playing football. He shouldn’t have started. Personally, I don’t think he’s much better at home but that’s just me. With a two week break right after the game, I really don’t […]
Burnley are one of those clubs I wish would get relegated. They remind me of Bolton Wanderers under Big Sam. Tough to beat admittedly, as Sean Dyche will have his players well drilled, ready to get stuck in and prepared to battle it out until the end. One minute they are beating Man Utd 2-0 […]
Morning all. The winter transfer window has been good I think. We’ve added two defensive players, both of whom have a lot of experience under their belt. It’s clear from what Mikel Arteta said in his press conference that our finances meant loans were pretty much the best we could do. However, those who […]
I quite fancy a couple of weeks of sunshine, golden sands and beautiful blue seas in Dubai but sadly the above kind of beach is what awaits our squad and not you or I. Well, not me anyway. Before they all hop on an aeroplane though there’s one more challenge. Burnley on Sunday afternoon. For […]
