Morning all. So a four match ban and a £25,000 fine for Arsene Wenger. I thought it might have been worse than that, certainly the fine but it is what it is and Arsenal won’t be appealing. Actually, not a lot about Arsenal is yet here we are, second in the league, still in the […]

Morning all. Today is deadline day for Arsene Wenger. I wonder what the FA will do, after all it’s not long ago they highlighted how referees and their little helpers should be shown respect by publishing John Sheridan’s disgraceful outburst which resulted in a five-match ban and a massive fine. On top of that, he was then sacked […]
Morning all. Granit Xhaka seems to have hit the self destruct button. Having been sent off on Sunday, apparently he headed to Heathrow airport with a mate the following evening and got involved in another naughty incident. According to media reports, his mate checked in late for his flight and wasn’t allowed to get on […]
Morning all. What a match that was and not necessarily for all the good reasons. Despite Jon Moss trying to everything he could to dent our slim to none league title chase hopes, he must have been gutted having to blow his whistle and point to the penalty spot at the end of the game. […]
Morning all. “I’m a manager who likes to go forward but we have to find that balance between offense and defence, and that’s maybe where the future of this season lies.” – Arsène Wenger Results yesterday really went in our favour. City and the Totts drew, Utd dropped two points at Stoke and the biggest […]
Morning all. The last few days has seen Arsenal extend both Santi Cazorla and Per Mertesacker’s contracts. Good news or not? The big German, our captain who hadn’t played a game since being given the armband isn’t going to be any quicker than he was when we first signed him and considering there’s so much […]
Morning all. If you listen to Sky Sports and all the ex players who seem to think they know all there is about football then maybe you’ll understand where I’m going with this today.. Pep plays his own way, with his own tactics and he has to be admired for standing by his footballing principles […]
Morning all. The African Cup Of Nations is up and running and we have just the two players on duty out in Gabon – Ismael Bennacer and Mohammed Elneny. Algeria opened up the tournament but Bennacer didn’t get on the pitch, instead he watched on from the subs bench. Elneny and his Egyptian team-mates play today […]
Morning all. Don’t fall into the media pot which has one of the biggest wooden spoons stirring it. Alexis is what/who he is, just as we all are. Didn’t you all hate being subbed regardless of which sport you were playing? I know I did. Alexis is no different, other than he’s a professional who […]
Morning all. So the good news this week, well, sort of, is that all three of Francis Coquelin, Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud all signed contract extensions and I’m sure more will follow when Merts and Santi get their one year extension. The downside is that I think we can all assume that Arsene Wenger […]
Morning all. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that Arsenal FC have a ladies team, once a very good one too which has won nearly everything on offer in the women’s game. One player who has been part of the glory days is Kelly Smith who yesterday announced her retirement from the game. She’s not going […]
Morning all. How refreshing, a young Englishman has been snapped up by Arsenal and when asked how he felt, the best word he could describe his move was ‘mental’. Cohan Bramall, a soon to be 21 year old non-league player, a name most of us would admit we’d not heard before his link to Arsenal […]
