Morning all. I write this based on Mikel Arteta being appointed head coach at Arsenal which is widely expected to be confirmed over the next day or so. Of course, this is Arsenal so nothing is certain until it’s officially announced by the the club. I know, you’ve seen this already but I don’t care, […]

Morning all. A late night, early morning meeting, a quick jet set to the US of A and it seems Mikel Arteta is ready to fill the big vacant boots at Arsenal which Arsene Wenger left behind. Unai Emery tried but his feet were clearly too small and Freddie, well he was just keeping […]
Morning all. Losing to Man City, even at The Emirates is no sin. Not really when one considers the money they’ve invested in both players and their manager. However, the way in which we lost this one, and most other fixtures over the last few years is not only sad to see but a true […]
Morning all. The one thing we can pretty much guarantee today is plenty of goals. City’s injuries in defence has caused them all sorts of problems. For Arsenal, injuries haven’t helped either, but even if every player was fit, with our weak midfield, we’d still be vulnerable, especially against a top attacking side which City […]
Morning all. We didn’t lose. ✔️ We are through to the last 32. ✔️ We topped the group. ✔️ No Inter Milan, Ajax, Porto, RB Salzburg, Benfica etc. ✔️ We played really well. ✖️ Two great moments from young Saka. Firstly his cross for Lacazette to head home, secondly his goal. Both excellent. As was […]
Morning all. Personally, I hope Carlo Ancelotti is nowhere near Arsenal Football Club when Raul Sanllehi and his side kicks are conducting interviews for the new head coach. If they have any planned that is because there’s always a chance Freddie could be appointed. Turning to an ageing coach is not the way forward in […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s Europa League campaign is pretty much secured despite our most recent result. Anything but a five goal defeat tomorrow evening will guarantee our place in the knockout stages but to progress as group leaders and ensure an ‘easier’ tie in the next round, we need to win as I can’t see Frankfurt […]
Morning all. Without sounding like I’m about to burst into a Sinéad O’Connor song, it’s been two months and three days since Arsenal last won a league fixture. I’m not sure I was even alive when that last happened. Sure we’ve had a few bad results at the beginnings of a season but such […]
Morning all. Arsenal are in limbo and to be honest, they’ve only got themselves to blame. Arsene Wenger was allowed to stay for too long, Unai Emery the same. During that much wasted time we drifted before rapidly declining. A relegation battle is a real possibility although the word battle is not one many of […]
Morning all. A weekend off for Arsenal as far as competitive football goes as our match doesn’t kick off until Monday evening which is really considerate of the FA considering we have a Europa Cup fixture on Thursday afternoon away from home. Yet Man Utd, who also have a Europa fixture on Thursday, played a […]
Morning all. Three Arsenal players could, and should, have done more to stop Brighton from scoring their opening goal. Sokratis, Luiz and Willock (I think) but no, not one totally committed to clearing the free ball. Their second really highlighted how poor David Luiz is as the simple task of defending a cross was beyond […]
Morning all. Another match day has arrived and the big question on everyone’s lips is, will Freddie wear a suit… I jest. What he said yesterday though was that his focus will be on how we play rather than how Brighton do. For sure, he’ll take into account the oppositions game but he wants his […]
