Morning all. A much changed side from the one which crumbled at Watford faced Frankfurt yesterday evening in what was expected to be our toughest test in the group. Martinez, Chambers, Luiz, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Willock, Smith Rowe, Saka, Aubameyang. – Maitland-Niles, Ceballos and Pepe came off the bench to replace Smith Rowe, Willock and […]

Morning all. A break from the Premier League woes tonight as our Europa League campaign kicks off with a short trip to Germany where we’ll face Eintracht Frankfurt. No doubt there is temptation to think this match will be easy for Arsenal but let’s not forget that in this competition just a few months ago, they […]
Morning all. It’s inevitable that over the next few weeks and months, Unai Emery is going to be under scrutiny. As will Xhaka, Ozil, Sokratis, Luiz and every other player who continues to make mistakes. Arsenal are feeding the back page journalists right now and I suspect they’re enjoying every minute of it. For us […]
Morning all. Firstly, I want to be clear. I don’t dislike Unai Emery because he’s seems like a nice guy. Also, I want to think he can wake up tomorrow morning, look in the mirror and say to himself, ‘I’ve been doing things wrong but today I’m going to start again and make it right.’ […]
Morning all. England won the final test to draw the 2019 Ashes series, Europe won the Solheim Cup but Arsenal, well they did what they’ve done before and are likely to do again until the art of defending becomes an important part of an Arsenal managers game plan. For years, certainly the second ten years […]
Morning all. Thirty years! Thirty years of having to put up with Snickers when all the time I knew them as Marathons. No, not the 26 mile run around London or other cities but the chocolate bars which I love. Weird though as I have a allergy towards many nuts but not peanuts. Or cashews, […]
Morning all. Just as the official site updated the status of our defensive players to ‘back in full training’ which is brilliant to read, Alexander Lacazette has been ruled out for a few weeks because of an ankle injury. The team will miss him, not just because he’s our centre forward but because he’s a […]
Morning all. I’m not going to pretend I know much about Italian women’s football but when Arsenal drew Fiorentina in the Champions League, the media considered the tie to be a difficult one for our women. It’s not over yet I know but to return from Italy last night with a 4-0 victory in the […]
Afternoon guys. So the rumours which suggested both Xhaka and Pepe missed international playing time through injury were just that, rumours. Unfounded ones too as Arsenal have today confirmed that no injuries have been reported by any of our players as they returned to training. Good. Yes, even Xhaka as it’s up to Unai Emery […]
Afternoon guys. This international break is nearly as miserable as the weather here on the south coast of England. Next month there’s another break too so no wonder players suffer injuries. A weekend fixture either side of two international matches is far from ideal. The League Cup and Europa League fixtures take place this month […]
Morning alL. Well that’s week one of this boring two week international break done and dusted. This time next week we’ll be thinking about a local derby at Watford. In the meantime, have a think about the players who have left Arsenal over the last twenty odd years and which particular departure still leaves a […]
Morning all. Typical isn’t it, we’ve had little to no rain over the last week or two and now the fourth test of the Ashes is due to start today, it’s raining. As the old saying goes, rain before seven, fine before eleven, so I hope that’s the case today. Yesterday on here, we looked […]
