Morning all. When the subject of diversity is brought up, I always feel the need to stress that any word ending in ‘ist’ doesn’t apply to me. Well it does as far as the law goes but I’m not racist, sexist or anything else. I believe in a simple rule and that’s to treat others […]

There’s no doubt that Unai Emery will be keen to guide Arsenal towards silverware during his first season in charge, and it won’t matter what shape the trophy takes. So long as the team is lifting something at the end of the season, this campaign will be considered a very successful first for the Spanish […]
Morning all. Arsenal have smashed it. Puma are out, Adidas are in. Great news. They supplied some of the best kits we’ve worn I reckon, them and Nike. Puma are expected to supply Man City with their kit in the near future. An annual £60m deal with Adidas, puts Arsenal third in the list of […]
Morning guys. Well well, Alexandre Lacazette has not only scooped the Arsenal player of the month award but he’s nabbed the goal of the month one too. Good for him and utterly deserved. All we need now is for Unai Emery to pip the other three nominees for the EPL manager of the month and […]
Morning all. Unai Emery is one of four Premier League managers nominated for the manager of the month award. The other three are Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Nuno Espirito Santo. I’d say he’s up against it somewhat with those three in the mix but who knows. To win the award would be great for the […]
Morning all. There was a nasty moment early in the game when Mitrovic raked his studs down Lacazette’s ankle/Achilles. The BT Sport commentator alongside Robbie Savage seemed to find the incident amusing whilst regurgitating a story from Michael Owen about how strikers used to ‘leave something on a player’ to let them know they were […]
Morning all. What a ghastly day yesterday was. There’s three elements of weather I really don’t like and all three came together to make a pretty nasty old day. The wind, rain and cold. Still, James Patterson and a log burner kept me company. Had to feel sorry for our players yesterday though as they […]
Morning all. Ask yourself one question. Do you think Unai Emery is happy with what he’s watching from the touchline? My answer is no, of course he’s not. Ok, ask another. Is he seeing the positives he and his coaching staff are having on certain players and the team in general? My answer is yes. […]
Morning all. When Sokratis Papastathopoulos opened the scoring within the first five minutes of the game, I thought we’d go on to dominate the game and win at a canter but it didn’t quite go that way. Qarabag were a poor side but even so, they gave it a go and we let them roll […]
Morning all. Tonight we take on Quarabag at 5:55pm. There’s no Aubameyang, Ramsey or Mkhitaryan in the travelling squad. Ramsey’s wife is due to give birth at anytime apparently so he asked to remain in London, Aubameyang hasn’t felt very well and Mkhitaryan, well we all know why he hasn’t travelled. Apart from the walking […]
Morning all. Henrikh Mkhitaryan has decided against travelling to Azerbaijan for tomorrow’s Europa League fixture against Quarabag FK, just as he did back in 2015 when his old team Borussia Dortmund were drawn against Gabala FK. The people of Armenian are banned from entering Azerbaijan but the country does make exceptions when it comes to […]
Morning all. You probably gathered over the weekend that I love golf, especially The Ryder Cup. The Solheim Cup too as there’s something special I’ve always thought, about a group of men/women who for most of the year are battling it out against each other to be number one, to then group together for just […]
