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 […]

Morning all. Poor old Petr Cech has taken some criticism this season. Not so much for his shot stopping, but for his footwork which at times has been quite comical. Not sure I’d have used that expression had his continual gaffs had led to us conceding goals though. Other than that though, I thought he […]
Morning all. It’s fair to say that Arsenal had been sat in a comfort zone for a while and we weren’t growing. From the top to the bottom, everything was too casual. Or that’s certainly how it seemed for a long while. But not now. Even when we’re playing poorly or are under the cosh, […]
Morning all. Well did you pretty much sit in front of the television yesterday, watching the Ryder Cup? Yes? Lazy devils. I did my ironing whilst watching the mornings play but in the afternoon, it was just me and the woofa watching Europe fight back. Some of the guys in the galleries made me laugh […]
Morning all. The Aaron Ramsey story is in my opinion being blown out of all proportion. On his day he can be very good but those days are few and far between. A bit like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain when he was at the club. On paper, losing both appears a bad situation, a bad move by […]
Morning all. Watching the team play via an App on an iPad isn’t the best but it’s better than nothing, even if the constant buffering meant I missed bits of the match. Sadly though, there was no buffering when Leno dropped a clanger which nearly ended up with us going behind. The match had barely […]
Morning all. Dean Smith, Brentford’s manager has made it clear. His team might be up against Premier League opposition but he isn’t running scared: “I would rather have had Macclesfield at home but unfortunately we’ve got to travel to the Emirates which I’m sure all our supporters will be looking forward to. “We want to […]
Morning all. The first half was awful, for Arsenal especially. I thought Everton the better team. Three good chances for them. Cech did well when Calvert-Lewin was through, Richarlison curled one just wide of the far post and then Walcott with the third which Cech covered well. Monreal had one saved by Pickford, we rattled […]
Morning all. Everton today, a club we haven’t lost to at home for years. Twenty two to be precise and on that day it was Andrei Kanchelskis who delivered the sucker punch. Four draws is the best they can boast during that same period of time. Over the years though, the blue side of Liverpool have […]
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 […]
