Afternoon all. The rain is back, actually it never really went away. The expression ‘Flaming June’ seems appropriate but not for the reasons it is meant. We’re fast moving towards the longest day yet summer hasn’t even begun. Anyway, there’s still no news. Rumours galore which like everyone else, I love but not because I […]

Afternoon guys. Jeeze it’s tough trying to conjure up something to write about but I’ll soldier on. Just for you mind, so be grateful. I jest of course, if I didn’t enjoy whinging most days about Arsenal or something else football related, I wouldn’t bother. Granit Xhaka. I would say Mr Marmite but these […]
Morning all. Yannick Carrasco, a Belgian winger/forward who left Atlético Madrid in February 2018. The year before, according to Transfer Market, he was worth €40 million. Now the same website values him at just half that amount. Either playing in the Chinese League has done him no favours, or his level of football has dropped. […]
Morning all. Mesut Ozil has married his long time girlfriend Amine Gülşe. Great new, congratulations and all that but now I hope she puts her foot down. Him in North London, her back in Istanbul isn’t going to work. One of them has to give, if they want to live together. I know, it’s worked […]
Morning all. I read an article in the Guardian by Amy Lawrence. Good too I thought as she compares the Ian Wright and Bruce Rioch situation back in 1996 with now ongoing feud between Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery. One can hardly disagree with idea that something is clearly wrong between the two. But in […]
Eleven years. Firstly, where have they gone? Secondly, too many of those years ruined because of two men. Tony Pulis and his ‘rough ‘em up’ tactics. Ryan Shawcross for executing them. Most of Aaron Ramsey’s Arsenal career was played under the management/coaching of Arsene Wenger, all actually apart from this season which proved to be […]
One from AllezKev this morning. During the long build up to Baku, there was a rumour doing the rounds which suggested there might be some changes made to our coaching staff in the summer. That rumour concerned Steve Bould. Is he staying or is he leaving and was it always his intention to do one […]
Morning all. All I can say is thank heavens for that. The thought of our now not so noisy neighbours winning the Champions League, well, it matters not as they lost. Not for one minute does that justify us losing our Europa Cup Final but at least salt won’t be rubbed into our already sore […]
Just 35 years old and along with his cousin, he’s gone. José Antonio Reyes – 1st September 1983 – 1st June 2019 He wasn’t one of our own but between 2004 and 2007, he was one of ours. An extremely gifted footballer who despite trying, simply couldn’t settle in London, England. The Neville sisters played a […]
Morning all. A short post. Just one to get us thinking. I still can’t make up my mind over Unai Emery which speaks volumes in itself really. This season produced nothing we haven’t seen before. Good performances, dire performances, mini good runs followed by bad. Dreadful on the road, better at home when it […]
Morning all. A dreadful location to hold the final, a soulless stadium and the BT Sport coverage was about as poor as our second half performance. Arsenal just about sneaked the first half battle but as chances came along, they went as quickly as they arrived. Two penalty shouts, neither given. The second, the tugging […]
Good morning guys and gals. The day has finally arrived. Arsenal’s season could yet be a successful one, but it could also fade away leaving yet another disappointing ten months of football behind. I know the money and Champions League football are important but they’re not the most important thing in my opinion. A […]
