Morning all. Don’t you just love it when the players talk the talk but struggle to walk the walk? No, me neither but then to start walking one has to believe in the person teaching. If one doesn’t believe, there is no way they are letting go of the hand which steadies them as baby […]

Morning all. We didn’t want Mourinho at Arsenal did we so seeing him commit to Toots is quite a relief. It’s kind of funny too because if we’re to believe the rumours of an unhappy camp down the road then the Portuguese fella is the perfect guy to deepen that rift. He’s been successful though, […]
Morning all. ‘I was his vice-captain at Arsenal and he trusted me.’ ‘I was by his side during team meetings and we had a great bond. I’d love to work with him again, a top guy.’ That’s from Per Mertesacker talking about Mikel Arteta to FourFourTwo. I’m sure Mikel Arteta is a top guy and […]
Morning all. The one thing I believe most Arsenal fans agree on is the media being a bunch of rascals. Yes, I’ll keep it polite. Actually, make that two things because I don’t know anybody who thinks Unai Emery can turn the teams fortunes around on the pitch. But as far as the media go, […]
Afternoon all. A lot of fuss is being made of the spat between Sterling and the bloke from Liverpool which apparently spilled over from Anfield into the England dressing room. I’m not entirely sure Southgate was right to drop Sterling because of it because all he’s done is stoke a simmering fire which the England […]
Morning all. The international break is a pain but for once it might have come at a good time for Arsenal. Certainly the players as it’s their chance to get away from what has been a tough time for the club. Not all I know as a number of them remain in London to suffer […]
Morning all. Kev and and I have mustered this one up.. If changing managers was a simple task, then Arsenal would have done it by now, as would Man Utd, but it’s a case of sip it and see when an icon manager leaves the stage and a club is trying to keep the train […]
Morning all. The pressure is on, Unai Emery needed a win and as other tinkering had failed to pay off, he tried something different again. Rob Holding, Calum Chambers and David Luiz with Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac in defence – Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi in midfield with Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and […]
Morning all. Another day, another away match but perhaps it won’t be another defeat. Unlikely I know as Leicester are a team in fine form. Brendan Rogers has stormed into the club and turned their fortunes around in pretty quick time. Their big money earning departure in the summer looks like being a smart move. […]
Morning all. Is Unai Emery was the right man to turn things around? Kieran Tierney says he is: “Yes, of course. It is up to us as players to correct it on the pitch. For me, he (Emery) has been brilliant since I’ve come in. I have learned a lot. I am learning a lot every […]
Morning all. Do you remember the good old days of vinyl? My parents had loads of records, my siblings and I did too but some of the really old one, the 33 1/3 rpm mainly had a scratch here and there. We’d be sat listening, well behaved of course, and the needle would get […]
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 […]
