Simeone stats don’t make good reading. Bad news ahead of tonight.

Morning all. Here we are then, crunch time, well, round one. Arsenal v Atlético Madrid and Salzburg v Marseille as the four sides do battle for a place in the Europa Cup Final. So which team is the 888 free bet favourite to lift the big cup in May? Atlético Madrid (current odds, 11/10) Atlético have been […]

Next Arsenal manager details leaked? The end of backward passing if it’s true…

Morning all. We knew this would happen from the very day Arsene Wenger announced he was leaving at the end of the season. Every man and his dog are being linked to replace him, well, not everyone but you know what I mean. Allegri, Henry, Arteta, Vieira, Enrique and Ancelotti are just a few from […]

Arsene Wenger’s parting gift for fans isn’t nice….

Morning all. There was little different on show yesterday than there’s been for most of the season. A slow start, poor defensive work and awful passing. But hey, for once it was nice to watch on without frustration or anger. This predictable style of football will soon be over and something different will replace it. […]

Hypocrites! Questions to be answered today? Serial chokers don’t disappoint!

Morning all. Have to laugh at the serial chokers who yet again lost an FA Cup semi-final yesterday. Despite having an advantage after playing their home games at the national stadium all season and taking an early lead, they flunked big time. I detest both clubs but out of the two, there could only be […]

Classy Ivan and classy Arsene. Those ‘Magic Hat’ moments should not be forgotten.

Morning all. In the words of one of the greatest ever singing duos who’ve ever lived, ‘It’s only just begun……’ Actually, I strongly suspect that’s not the case as there’s little chance Arsene Wenger suddenly woke up yesterday morning and decided to quit his job, no more than I suspect the club suddenly decided enough […]

Vieira heading back to Arsenal? Should Arsenal fans write off next season, regardless of what the summer brings…?

Morning all. It’s highly likely that Arsenal will be playing European football next year. Not be default anymore after City won the League Cup because we don’t take their place as runners up but with City securing Champions League football by way of winning the league, I think I’m right in saying that that Europa […]

Lacazette lucky to stay on the pitch. And the beat goes on….

Morning all. Lacazette, Monreal and even both of Elneny and Xhaka being named on the team sheet surprised me. Mustafi, our 100% fit experienced centre back being selected was again a big risk imo. This should have been a game for the youngsters I thought, keeping the experienced key players fit for Atlético Madrid. I’m […]

Can Arsenal finally record an away win in 2018?

Morning all. Another Sunday, another away fixture at lunchtime. Jeeze, when are we meant to eat our lunch? Joking aside, Thursday/Sunday football has become the norm by now, certainly as we’ve progressed further into our Europa campaign but at least after today’s fixture, the players will get a week of rest before West Ham take […]
