Morning all. Away at Chelsea, always a tough place to go and a place we seldom come away from with much. Yesterday was no exception. Right now it seems arsenal are stuck on pause. Defending is calamitous, our finishing is really poor and although we lost, once again we’re scratching our heads wondering how. With […]

Morning all. I thought once the club had a new manager etc my passion for the game would return but in all honesty, it hasn’t. I don’t know why though and that’s the hardest bit to understand. I’ve always loved the game, played it too for many years, albeit at a very low level I […]
Afternoon all. It is fair to say that new Arsenal boss Unai Emery really has his work cut out to bring Arsenal back to the glory days in the wake of Arsene Wenger’s departure. Unlike most new managers, Emery is charged with the task of overhaul almost every aspect of the club, in order to […]
Morning all. By the end of September 2016, he’d won all of his first 10 matches in charge and his team were top of the Premier League table with a four-point advantage over second-place. He lost his first match against the team in second place just before the international break but remained in top spot. […]
Morning all. Arsenal have picked up plenty of cheap signings over the years. Mikael Silvestre is one of the first to spring into my mind, Andre Santos, Sebastien Squillaci, Park Chu-Young, Manuel Almunia, Bishcoff, Kallstom and many more during his final ten years. Some he actually paid money for and yes, it’s frightening isn’t it. I […]
Morning all. Well that was a disappointment but let’s be honest, Man City were the worst side we could have come up against on the opening day of the season, even if Pep didn’t have every player available to him. He’s had two seasons now with Man City, most of his players have been under […]
Morning all. Now the transfer window has closed, there’s not much to talk about really. Well, not until Sunday when we see how the team play, how Emery lines us up, changes things when/if needed, substituting players because it’s what’s needed and how he attempts to stop the current League Champions from kicking off this […]
Morning all. Here’s the biggest money spenders of the summer. Liverpool spent ..£171.3 m Chelsea spent. ..£122m Leicester spent ..£101.5m West Ham spent £91.5m Fulham spent. … £80.5m Arsenal spent. …£71.4m Man Utd spent …£64.2m Man City spent ..£62.6m Totts – a big fat zero which is a surprise for a club who they and […]
Morning all. I’m sure we all wanted Dembele in the door, even a season long loan would have added some excitement but he’s staying at Barcelona and that’s that. Disappointed? Yes of course but not surprised. Give it a year or two and perhaps we’ll be in a much better place and players like Dembele […]
Morning all. I’m staying away from the Stan Kroenke topic after all, apart from him buying out Alisher Usmanov and the rest of the shares floating around, what impact his sole ownership might have on the club is yet to be seen. Moaning won’t change his mind anymore than the exaggerated headlines on Newsnow will. […]
Morning all. Kev left this comment late yesterday evening: Aaron Ramsey still unresolved? Reiss Nelson still unresolved? (The Sun reckon that’s about to change with him signing a new long term deal) Carl Jenkins is still not sorted? David Ospina still faffing about? Joel Campbell, where is he, let alone is he staying or going? […]
Morning all. I think most of us will agree on a few things. Going forward we are well stocked, apart from a left sided wide player as using Aubameyang there kind of defeats the object of having a clinical striker such as he is. The other side of that debate is playing wide left didn’t […]
