Morning all. “I’m not going to lie, I fell out of love with football for a little bit. Because I had some good performances, but then just didn’t get the chance to play on. “Scoring over 100 goals for Arsenal is a great achievement for me personally, and then just the last year-and-a-half was tough, I […]

Morning all. Playing against a team which packs the defence is always going to make for a less entertaining match but what else did we expect from a team like Vorskla. Had they arrived at The Emirates and attacked us from the start, I strongly suspect they’d have soon be trailing, instead they managed to […]
Morning all. I liked what Stephan Lichtsteiner said during the obligatory pre match press conference yesterday. Respect for the opposition. This is something which has cost us early exits from the domestic cups in the past. Well, the lack of it. I’ve always got the impression that when a club from lower down the league […]
Morning all. Well I guess that should be the end of the Arsenal departures. For now anyway. Ivan Gazidis is off to Italy. He’ll officially leave the building on the 1st December and seeing as his job was so so big and important, two Arsenal employees have been appointed to take his place. Yep, I […]
Morning all. Back in June of this year whilst the World Cup was taking place, Cesc Fabregas, who had been snapped up as a television pundit, posted a photograph of himself and David Dein on Instagram together with the caption: “Great dinner with the first man to sign me professionally. “It was never the same […]
Morning all. I know it’s a bit of a cliche but sometimes winning really is more important than the performance. Right now is one of those times. We’re not playing extremely well but we’re winning, and I darn sure it’s better to be winning whilst Unai Emery is implementing his changes than to be losing. […]
Morning all. First up, well done to the Arsenal Checkatrade team, great start to this new competition for them. 3-0 against a Coventry side which fielded a number of senior players is something to be pleased about. The only disappointment was not being able to watch it live on the Arsenal Player or television. I’m […]
Morning all. A 10CC classic line. I don’t like cricket, I love it. And I do. Whilst the boring international fixtures were taking place, England were battling against India in the final home test series of the summer. What do you mean you want to talk football? You can, it’s just I want to write […]
Morning all. Poor old Hector Bellerin, he’s been under the cosh for a while now. I get it though because his football has dropped a bit but what he does off the pitch is private. How he chooses to style his hair is his choice just as his choice of clothing is too. Personally, I […]
Morning all. It’s great to have the internet back again, no, not because I’m now able to write some drivel for Highbury House but I can watch the cricket and Alistair Cooks last batting innings in an England shirt. Please don’t tell me he’s already out… I didn’t get to see the Arsenal v Real […]
Morning all. At least that’s almost a week of this boring break over and done with. Ramsey scored for Wales last night, Guendouzi embarrassed all the senior players in the squad by scooping up the Arsenal Player of the Month award and Mesut Ozil has been telling us how exciting yet nerve wracking it was […]
Morning all. Plenty of Arsenal players have been called up for international duty. Mohamed Elneny, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Aaron Ramsey, Lucas Torreira, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Granit Xhaka, Danny Welbeck, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alex Iwobi and Konstantinos Mavropanos. (Loaned players Ospina, Asano and Kelechi Nwakali could also be in action during the break.) France clearly still have a problem finding a place in the squad for […]
