Morning all. Totally in control of the game and we should have been winning by a much bigger scoreline but then what’s haunted us all season and many before, reared it’s ugly head. 83 mins on the clock and we conceded from pretty much nothing. For once though, it hurt. The job in Madrid is […]

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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Morning all. You may laugh, but hearing the news that Arsene Wenger is leaving at the end of the season brought mixed feelings for me. Ecstatic as we head towards a period of unknown as far as who replaces him goes but sadness too as he took far too long to make his decision. For […]
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 […]
Morning all. I never know whether looking back in life is a good thing or bad. Going back seldom works out as I’m sure many of us can vouch for whether it be in employment, relationships, right down to buying the same model of car which you once had five years ago as you can […]
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 […]
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 […]
Morning all. The base of this post comes from a comment left by Potter on Thursday. I said on Thursday night that there is a kind of lazy arrogance about the whole squad.. It’s as if they believe that they don’t have to work to prove their superiority and once they go ahead they just […]
