Morning all. Winter has well and truly arrived yesterday as temperatures struggled to reach six degrees where I live. Throw in the biting wind and it felt much colder. Logs in, burner lit and I was snug as a bug. Elsewhere though, horrid stuff was going on. At Leicester City, owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha‘s helicopter flew off […]

Morning all. Sit back, absorb the pressure, tire the opposition down and frustrate them. Get them rattled. Then in the second half, give them the full Arsenal. The best we can do and be. Bring on the fresh legs from the bench, the strongest bench we’ve had for a while and strut our stuff. A […]
Morning all. With neither Monreal or Kolasinac declared fit, Xhaka carried on where he left off on Monday night, at left back. Lichtsteiner gave Bellerin a rest and Sokratis returned to the defence giving Mustafi the chance to sit and watch on from the bench. As did Ozil, Lacazette, Iwobi, Torreira, Martinez and Jenkinson. The […]
Morning all. July 1906, Sporting Lisbon was born. It’s biggest rival is Benfica and the two clubs along with Porto are known in their homeland to be one of the “Três Grandes” (Big Three) clubs in Portugal. Never have Sporting been relegated from the Primeira Liga, not since 1934 anyway. One only has to type their […]
Morning all. Fifteen passes, ten players involved and a simple tap in to finish. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve watched that goal and it’s still as good as the first time. In fact it gets better each time. All three of our goals against Leicester City were classy. Swift passing, excellent movement and […]
Morning all. We, or perhaps I is nearer to the truth, keep going on about our defending. The media do too and that’s because we look vulnerable. But then yesterday a wave of positivity washed over me. Or reality. Opponents are getting through us to create scoring opportunities but we’re not conceding that many goals. […]
Morning all. Well if that isn’t Unai Emery sending a big fat message to Mesut Ozil, I don’t know what would be. To me that says, wake up, catch up and get with it. Based on talent alone, Mesut has to be one of our most gifted players but he needs to do more, work […]
Morning all. After Reiss Nelson scored another couple of goals yesterday for his on loan club Hoffenheim, the cry’s of ‘get him back’ we’re swiftly written across the internet. Their match had barely finished before the first headline popped up with such a cunning plan. But what’s the point in calling him back? He’s playing […]
Morning all. The boys at the top of the club spoke to the BBC yesterday, most of which was pretty positive. Questions were put to both Arsenal’s Head of Football Raul Sanllehi, and Managing Director, Vinai Venkatesham. Here’s the crux of it. The upcoming transfer window was mentioned and whether or not Arsenal will be […]
Morning all. After a few months of swanning around, managing the Per Mertesacker farewell game, some beach ball perhaps and a few Daniel Craig impersonations in a Mediterranean Sea somewhere, he’s coming back. No, not to Arsenal of course but to management within the game. January 1st will be the date Arsene Wenger takes […]
Morning all. Kim Little, the in form player for both Arsenal and Scotland right now. She, together with Jordan Nobbs and Vivianne Miedema put five goals past reigning WSL Champions Chelsea just a few days ago. Chelsea hadn’t lost at home for two years making the 5-0 drubbing even more special. The downside of the game […]
Morning all. Ok, I’m struggling now, football news is really slow. Five days to go though and we’re back in action. I’m guilty of concentrating on the future of both Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck who can leave for free in the summer and I’d overlooked the fact that Peter Cech, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Nacho […]
