Morning all. Yesterday’s post was about the media and the way they report news, news which all too often contain little substance, certainly when it comes to transfer rumours and the day proved to be no exception. £10 million and Mathieu Debuchy was apparently what we offered West Brom and in return, we’d asked for […]

Morning all. How many headlines can the media make out of one man, one subject or one club eh? Loads is the answer and what makes these writers views so special I often wonder, so special that they think what they write is, well, right. The Mirror have to be up there with some of […]
Morning all. As suggested last night, that old ‘game of two halves’ cliche was seldom more appropriate than after our match against Chelsea. We really didn’t start well at all and once Hazard put the visitors ahead quite early in the game, I feared a glut of goals might follow but instead, we were soon […]
Morning all. So it’s finally over. The Sanchez/Mkhitaryan deal is done, thank goodness for that. This story has has dragged on nearly as long as the Pat Phelan saga in Coronation Street. Not seen it? Well thank your lucky stars! As expected, all the gushy comments about their respective new clubs has spewed out, so […]
Morning all. ‘We did what we tried to do and went as far as we could. Even Manchester City moved out of it in the end. That tells you we had no chance to give him a contract. In 30 years of doing transfers you learn a lot about human beings. I bet Arsene Wenger […]
Morning all. Well I wasn’t expecting that, certainly not the opening twenty minutes in which we simply blew Crystal Palace away with four quick goals. The best was the fourth one from Alexander Lacazette. The Frenchman could have had more, others could too but four was enough on the day against a Palace side which […]
Morning all. It looks like the Alexis Sanchez swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan could soon be done and dusted and thank goodness for that. To be honest, I’m sick and tired of it. Sanchez, labelled a mercenary by some in the media is far from being the guy I thought he was. I thought football mattered […]
Morning all. They were meant to make us bigger and better but they didn’t. All four have now gone, the last of course being Theo who looks quite young in this picture above. I suspect all four, certainly three of them jumped ship because they could see it was sinking. Walcott seemed to be happy […]
Morning all. When Sven Goran Eriksson decided to take Theo Walcott to the World Cup back in 2006, I think many football fans thought the Swede had gone mad. In hindsight, I think he had. This was the biggest international competition in the game and there he was taking a massive chance on a player who’d […]
Morning all and it’s not a good one either is it? No words left I’m afraid, I’ve said all there’s to be said and I’m fed up to my back teeth of repeating the same old things week after week. Yes we turn in the occasional good performance but more often than not, we are […]
Morning all. After two domestic cup fixtures, today the focus returns to our domestic campaign, one which really needs an injection of something good. Like many fans do I guess, I browsed the official site to see which players were involved in training. To my surprise, there was Jack Wilshere who have obviously recovered quickly […]
Morning all. “My contract clarifies that. Did I ever walk away? Never. Why should I change?” Well that sweeping statement from Arsene Wenger will get Arsenal fans a bit twitchy won’t it? Well, many but not all as there’s still a number of Wenger worshipers out there in this crazy world. I guess they are […]
