Morning all. According to The Times, VAR officials are set to be told to intervene in Premier League matches only when a referee is “clearly wrong” next season among a number of changes intended to speed up the controversial system and ensure interference only for unarguable errors. I thought that’s what they were already meant […]

Morning all. Arsenal beat Everton yesterday afternoon thanks to goals from Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kai Havertz. I must admit to being very surprised when Michael Oliver, having been advised to check the pitch side monitor, allowed our winning goal because Gabriel Jesus definitely controlled the ball with his arm. The win wasn’t enough though as […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s women signed off their season with a 5-0 thrashing of Brighton. Vivianne Miedema scored her last ever Arsenal goal, Alessia Russo scored twice, Frida Maanum scored another with an Brighton own goal adding to our tally. Arsenal finished the season third behind Chelsea and Man City so there’s a lot of work […]
Morning all. Tomorrow is about finals. The final Premier League fixtures of the 2023/24 season, the final time Jurgen Klopp will manage Liverpool and the final time David Moyes will manage a West Ham fixture. It’s also the final opportunity for one club to draw or defeat Manchester City. Wouldn’t it be something special for […]
Morning all. On the 6th June, Premier League clubs will vote on whether or not VAR should be scrapped for next season. This is a weird one in my opinion because technology isn’t the problem but the way it’s used is. We live in a technological world these days and I feel ditching VAR would […]
Morning all. There was hope, hope that Totts could at least draw against Man City last night but it was never likely to happen. Not because Totts wouldn’t try to win, regardless of what Arsenal fans might think, but because City are seasoned professionals and they know how to win the league. Arsenal went to […]
Morning all. Yesterday afternoon, Arsenal FC announced that Vivianne Miedema was leaving the club at the end of the season. The news came as a bit of a shock to me as she’s still only 27 years old. The Dutch forward has been with Arsenal for seven years having joined from Bayern Munich back in […]
Morning all. We needed a win at Old Trafford and we got it. Not the most convincing of victories but on the penultimate game day of the season, who cares? Leandro Trossard was the match winner again after some good work from Havertz and that was enough to take the title race to the final […]
Morning all. The penultimate day of Arsenal’s season is here as we face Manchester Utd at Old Trafford. Win and there’s still an ounce of hope, draw or lose and that’s it. Lose and we’ll need a win on the final day to secure second place should Liverpool beat Villa tomorrow. Utd have had an […]
Morning all. The next four days of Premier League football will pretty much decide who is going to be crowned champions. Fulham host Manchester City at lunchtime today a game the visitors have to win if they’re to keep the Premier League title fate in their own hands. The Fulham players have been spotted flying […]
Morning all. Just when you think there’s little Arsenal news about, Arsenal FC announced that Jorginho has extended his stay at the club. Excellent news I think. Jorginho isn’t a 32 year old lad has been. He’s a player who was key to us taking a point off of Man City at The Etihad, to […]
Morning all. Seems a bit premature to look back on the season already but that’s exactly what Mikel Arteta has been doing this week. Talking to the official website, a part of what he said is: We are improving. When you look at the numbers in position with the top teams, it’s really positive. You […]
