Morning all. The breaking news yesterday afternoon, although not a shock, was disappointing to say the least. After 21 years at Arsenal and no Premier League title since 2004, for some reason Stan Kroenke and his motley crew think it’s a good idea to to award Arsene Wenger a two year contract. This decision seems […]

Morning all. Still smiling? Yes, of course you are, me too. Who wouldn’t be after the kind of performance Arsenal dished up on Saturday evening and the icing on the cake was the victory, the big jug and a couple of records to go with it. So many times in years gone by we’ve done pretty […]
Morning all. Three clubs in the top four have won nothing, zilch, zero! Yet Arsenal have been the ones who have been almost laughed at having missed out for the first time under Arsene Wenger. Yet I wonder how many of those three managers would rather be sitting in Arsene Wenger’s seat this morning? The […]
Morning all. So much for the transfer window opening on the 1st July, Pep has only gone and made the first move with a £40m plus signing of Monaco midfielder Bernado Silva. Wow, that’s what you call ambition and a sign of a manager who knows what he wants. I bet he’s the first of […]
Morning all. Tomorrow it’s the FA Cup Final, a fixture we should be looking forward to but with injuries/suspensions hitting us hard, I can’t say I’m overly excited at the prospect of facing the league champions. I guess you never know though as on the day as Chelsea could have an off day and we might play a […]
Morning all. As if our defensive problems weren’t big enough ahead of the FA Cup Final. Koscielny is banned, Gabriel is out injured for the foreseeable, Mustafi is a major doubt as he’s not trained and now Per Mertesacker has suggested he’s not match fit. When asked if he would be ready if selected by manager […]
Morning all. A guest post this morning: With doubts surrounding the future of Arsene Wenger, Mesut and Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – it’s hard to predict what the future holds for Arsenal FC. Tottenham have finally finished above their bitter rivals for the first time in 22 years so perhaps this marks a changing […]
Morning all. As the news breaks of yet another young life has been lost in the cowardly acts in Manchester, more and more tributes are flooding in and it’s hardly a surprise. What kind of person chooses, and it is a choice, to kill anyone, let alone the young and vulnerable or their parents. It’s just […]
Morning all. On Saturday, Arsenal are off Wembley where they’ll take on Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup final. After a relatively disappointing and all-too familiar campaign, the Gunners will seek solace by claiming their third FA Cup win in four years and 13th overall. For Arsene Wenger’s staunchest critics, even this will not be […]
Morning all. Thank goodness that league season is over. It’s been frustrating, if not painful at times. Too many times. The football has often been dreadful with a few players performances being poor, lacklustre and darn right pathetic. The approach to the game from the manager has been equally as bad, if not worse but […]
Morning all. No, I’m not referring to Alisher Usmanov and his so far failed attempt to buy Stan Kroenke shares, I’m talking about Liverpool beating Boro. Saying that, if they put up the kind of fight they did when they turned up at The Emirates early this season, they might just sneak a draw and […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has changed his tune about the prospect of working with a DoF. A couple of weeks ago it was a flat no, no way. Yesterday, it was a why not? Wenger was asked on Friday whether he would work with a ‘director of football’ and stressed that his problem would be with […]
