I know, two posts in one day but how could I not mention last nights victory for the under 18’s? Any win over that lot is good and this one is no different. Per Mertesacker, head of the Arsenal Academy. A privileged position as ultimately, the way he goes about his job has a big […]

Morning all. “In this transfer period it is not easy to take players that can help us with better performances than we have now,” he said. “The club is working for different possibilities but it is not easy. “They are private conversations [on Denis Suarez]. I don’t want to say to you what these conversations […]
Morning all. I wonder if Chelsea fans are excited about the reported imminent arrival of Gonzalez Higuain. A 31 year old striker on loan should see Morata move to Atletico Madrid. And there was me thinking it was only a skinflint club like Arsenal who dealt in loans. Seriously, if Higuain was heading to us […]
Morning all. When Arsene Wenger finally departed, it was meant to be the beginning of a new era, better football, improved coaching with a defence which looked like it knew what it was doing. We’d snapped up old ‘Diamond Eyes’ and Raul Sanllehi to bring a bit of Barcelona and Dortmund through the door and […]
Morning all. Stan Kroenke, Unai Emery and all those around and in between them have certainly woken up the Arsenal blog world. The circle of blame is spinning quicker than my yo-yo did as a kid. Stan Kroenke lacks ambition and financial clout. Emery picks the wrong players, can’t organise a defence and isn’t improving […]
Morning all. Like I said to you, we’ve won and lost with him. Today the players who were here are the players who deserved to be in this match. That’s from Unai Emery in case you didn’t realise. He’d been asked again about why Mesut Ozil wasn’t selected for the West Ham fixture. I don’t […]
Morning all. Yesterday’s match was just another in a run of quite pathetic performances. I’d rather forget it really but that would be me burying my head in the sand. In any case, it’s quite likely that a similar kind of performance will rear it’s ugly head very soon. For us it’s easy to sit […]
Morning all. I thought for one minute Unai Emery was auditioning for a new series of This Is Your Life. Too young? You don’t know what you’ve missed. Emery has apparently reassessed his intense training methods as the coming months are set to get busy. We’ve an FA Cup fixture against Man Utd, we’re trying […]
Morning all. After Unai Emery had held his press conference yesterday, I was seriously cheesed off. Miffed too because the club has done so much behind the scenes to improve us, to not back Emery financially this month showed a huge lack of ambition. Then I read this article. http://youaremyarsenal.com/arsenal-stan-kroenke-analysis-stats/ Firstly I wondered if the […]
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] Morning all. What a handsome bunch eh. No, a talented bunch then? No again? Ok, it’s a huge boost to see Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal back. Mavropanos too because right now, a lot of hope seems to be pinned on him coming good. He’s looked the part […]
Morning all. Not often have English players played abroad and certainly not in Germany. It’s been the other way around since the late nineties when the English Premier League was the place to go. For Arsenal, Dennis Bergkamp was the first real success story but the following year, after the arrival of Arsene Wenger, the […]
Morning all. Can’t say Man Utd was the team I hoped for in the fourth round of the FA Cup, not after they’ve found some kind of rhythm under Ole. At least we’re at home eh although that didn’t help us much in the other domestic cup. Like us, Utd are fighting for one of […]
