Morning all. After our terrible defensive display in Wales, one which Arsene Wenger was pretty cheesed off with too, I’d no idea what expect from this Arsenal team against what was anticipated to be a very defensive Everton side and a parked bus. They had pace up front in Bolaise and Walcott and knowing how […]

Morning all. I keep thinking about the goals Theo Walcott scored last season. Nineteen from the wing isn’t a bad return, especially when you consider how few of our players are actually contributing to our goal tally this season, but for reasons only Arsene Wenger and Theo know, this season he was discarded like an […]
Morning all. So that’s that, a bit of news many of us wanted confirmed, Mesut Ozil is staying for another three years after this season. During his time at Arsenal he’s made 182 appearances, scored 36 goals and notched up 61 assists. The latter two factoids would be much greater if A) he had more self […]
Morning all. Today, Raul Sanllehi officially starts in his new role within the club, another person who will take a few pounds of power away from Arsene Wenger. He might not wear the ‘Director of Football’ badge but that’s he’s skill. That’s been his position at Barcelona since 2008 and my guess is he’ll be […]
Morning all. It’s been said before and it’ll be said again. Last nights performance was one of the worst. Not only that, the attitude and approach to the game. Clearly, Wenger and his players, well, a lot of them, learned nothing from Swansea’s defeat of Liverpool. The performance, the result. Two things which added to […]
Morning all. Another day, another game of football tonight but we might not see the same starting eleven to the one which breezed past Crystal Palace or the one which fought hard to secure a place in the League Cup Final. That’s because new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan could make his debut and as said yesterday, […]
Morning all. Yes yes, I know., I’ve read it. Aubameyang is close, very close but for now it’s media talk. When it’s official, I’ll believe it, same goes for Jonny Evans even though I think there are better defenders out there for the kind of money WBA are asking for their man. I’m not keen […]
Morning all. Both Aubameyang and Evans were on show last night and as far as I’m concerned it’s a good job both already have a good reputation in the game because if either were judged on last nights performance alone, there’s no way would any club, or rather negotiating team cough up 60 million euros […]
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 […]
