Morning all. So now we know, Granit Xhaka is no longer the club captain. No surprise because any player who throws his shirt to the ground along with the captains armband after being substituted, deserves a second chance. Regardless of what went on beforehand, the shirt on his back represents the club. He disrespected the […]

Morning all. I can’t keep up with the Unai Emery rumours. From he could go if Leicester beat us, or Vitoria tomorrow afternoon, to, he’ll see the season out but there’ll be no third year option trigger by the club. Mourinho had a meal with Raul Sanllehi, hang on, no he didn’t. It’s all supposition. […]
Morning all. Bayern Munich sacked manager Niko Kovac over the weekend after one dismal result too many. Saturday’s disastrous 5-1 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt being the final nail in his footballing managerial coffin. Firstly, isn’t that how things should be done, swift, no messing and before their season is totally ruined. Secondly, Jose Mourinho has […]
Morning all. I watched the game on a stream. Not brilliant, but between it freezing and buffering and me reloading it, I was fortunate to catch a glimpse of Unai Emery on the sidelines around the fifty minute mark. He was barking orders at Mesut Ozil and the look on our number ten’s face was […]
Morning all. It’s been a strange week really and not a particularly good one for Arsenal. In fact the entire seven days has done nothing other than bring more negativity to its door. Two more dropped points at home, the Xhaka spat with the fans followed by the long wait for what was in the […]
Morning all. Our Swiss midfielder has finally broken his silence via Arsenal’s official Twitter page: Arsenal ✔@Arsenal The following is a message from Granit Xhaka… There are two things going on here I think. Firstly there’s the nasty, vile and hateful people who have taken to social media to make Xhaka and his family’s life hell […]
Morning all. The Carabao Cup might not be at the top of the priorities list for Unai Emery, perhaps not the fans either although the chants of ‘Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal….. one could hear above the Anfield crowd just before kickoff would suggest otherwise, a victory would have done us the world of good. It should […]
Morning all. Granit Xhaka continues to hog the Arsenal headlines which is no great surprise really. Until something official comes out of the club, the media will continue to guess. Unai Emery did say yesterday that he thought the player should have apologised, however, Xhaka clearly has no plans to do so. It’s too […]
Morning all. As soon as Granit Xhaka reacted in the way he did on Sunday, it was inevitable that the press/media would have a field day. Arsenal are feeding them their headlines followed by negative stories. How captain appointment after captain appointment has been a joke. They have a point, but never one more poignant than […]
Morning all. Another shocker all round. Martin Atkinson wasn’t at fault although some of his decisions were bizarre but VAR had a stinker, or rather the blokes operating it. Xhaka had another day to forget. When he was subbed he spat his dummy out his mouth. The Arsenal fans cheered when his number came […]
Morning all. I wonder what Unai Emery and his merry men have install for us later today. A performance full of energy and passion with a plan which the players execute with confidence or just more of what we’ve seen so far this season. Will we see Torreira start in midfield and perhaps Ozil too […]
Morning all. There’s a headline on NewsNow which offers us hope. Mesut Ozil is interested in a move to the MLS. I’ve no idea if it’s true but I’d like to think it is as it makes sense. Any move makes sense though because he can’t be happy at Arsenal. He shouldn’t be that’s for […]
