Morning all. Where to start eh. What I don’t understand is how Torreira received a straight red card for his challenge on Danny Rose which was as Jermaine Jenas said, a pass/tackle rather than a reckless studs up tackle when previously in the game, the same Toots player challenged Bernd Leno for the ball with […]

Morning all. Arsenal v Southampton :- Leno, Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi, Lacazette Subs: Cech, Koscielny, Monreal, Guendouzi, Suarez, Ozil, Aubameyang 2-0 Arsenal v Bournemouth:- Leno, Jenkinson, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Torreira, Ozil, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang Subs: Cech, Mustafi, Elneny, Iwobi, Suarez, Ramsey, Lacazette 5-1 Two very different teams, two very […]
Morning all. Those two things are. Dirty Bournemouth and Carl Jenkinson! I always thought Eddie Howe was one of the good guys, a nice guy who believed in playing good football but what was on show last night was different to that. Seems to me he’s resorted to the ‘Arsenal don’t like it up em’ […]
Morning all. One of the things I like about Unai Emery is his honesty. He’s not afraid to discuss his players performances in public regardless of whether what he has to say is positive or negative. He doesn’t go over the top either way. With Mesut Ozil, all he’s really said is that the player […]
Morning all. The wheels are coming off around us aren’t they? Mike Dean had a big bust up with Maurizio Pochettino after the Toots were beaten by Burnley at the weekend, resulting in Dean being removed from their match against Chelsea tomorrow night and Poch being charged by the FA. Chelsea lost the League Cup, […]
Morning all. While we were coasting past Southampton yesterday afternoon, up at Old Trafford, Utd had a tough game against Liverpool. They dropped two points which really helps our chase for 4th spot, and they picked up three injuries. Four if it’s turns out Rashford is out for a while too. Karma for his assault […]
Morning all. Back in December, we travelled to St Mary’s having not lost a match in twenty two. Admittedly, we’d not always played scintillating football but what we were doing is grinding out results. Unai Emery was animated on the sidelines, the players responded and the substitutions were having positive impact. During that good run […]
Morning all. Rennes it is then in the Europa League, a decent draw for us too I’d say. On paper at least. March 7th at 17.55hrs in France and then the following week it’s The Emirates for an 20.00hrs start. We were first out the pot so should be playing the home tie first but […]
Morning all. “We wanted this result but also we wanted to play for our supporters here, to improve and build our mentality after first match away, which was not good. We did our best to come back (in the tie) and the team worked very well. “But we also had to take precautions because if […]
Morning all. After our pathetic performance just a week ago, the pressure is on tonight. We need a win and should we concede yet again, that win will have to be big. AMN is a doubt but it looks like Sokratis might be back which if so, is a big boost. Ramsey too and there’s […]
Morning all. I watched the FA Cup match between Chelsea and Man Utd last night. Sarri is seriously struggling to get his multimillion pound team firing. Defensively they look disorganised, their midfield wasn’t exactly what you’d expect to see and up front, they were pretty toothless. I wasn’t overly impressed with Utd either really, apart […]
Morning guys. “It will be a loss for Arsenal. I must say it will be an interesting move for Ramsey. He is a player who is great going forward. His main quality is he can keep the final ball and he makes interesting runs from deep. “You don’t find many players today who can make […]
