Morning all. What a lovely couple of moments captured on film. Alexandre Lacazette giving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a few confidence boosting words prior to him taking our penalty and the Bern Leno. Nothing over elaborate, just a little fist pump. No doubt fully aware of what part he’d just played in our victory over Man Utd. […]

Let’s get the officials out the way. They were poor, very poor. Pogba grabbed Ramsey round the neck as the Welshman went on the break, free kick given but no card. Much later in the game, Kolasinac did the same, not the same kind of foul but cynically prevented Utd from a breakaway. Free kick […]
Morning all. Yet again the Toots have opened the door to us, Chelsea and today’s opponents Man Utd. If there’s a winner in the late match, just one point will be between them and Poch’s team. A draw, while not a disaster, would be a disappointment because were at home and our home should be […]
Morning all. Interesting stuff doing the rounds about Pep Guardiola. He’s verbally agreed a four year deal with Juventus apparently. I can’t say I’d be surprised if it was true. He’s done Spain, Germany and England so there’s only really Italy and France to go. I reckon Italy might be his last job though as […]
Morning all. Red cards happen in the game and they always will. Sokratis was naive, not something you’d expect considering his vast experience but having been booked, got away with a foul soon after, he should have known better. Free kicks in and around the box will be given too, again, that’s football but it’s […]
Morning all. That was so like Man Utd wasn’t it. On the brink of being knocked out of the Champions League before a VAR decision went in their favour. Penalty given which Rashford tucked home. I so wish we’d had done the same at Wembley. Harsh on PSG perhaps, lucky for Utd, maybe but if […]
Morning all. With nine fixtures left and four teams fighting for two places in order to secure top, where do you see the points going? We can have a guess as a bit of fun and then when the season is over, look back and see who came closest. Or if I can work out […]
Morning all. Short and sweet today, a bit like me….. Quieten down now! The under 23’s played last night and according to reports, the scouts from Germany were out in full force. Well, the Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund ones. They’re looking at our youth players in a way Arsene Wenger’s used to spy on […]
Morning all. Life as an Arsenal fan hasn’t been as unpredictable in years. In the seven months of Unai Emery, I don’t think we’ve seen so many players used by a manager. Arsene Wenger always had a deep squad but he seemed to put his faith in the same players week in week out regardless […]
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’ […]
