Morning all. Arsene Wenger has said that Lucas is in the squad for tonight’s match against Southampton in the EFL Cup and the team will be a mix of youth and experience, but 90 per cent will be players from the first team squad. Gibbs, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gabriel, Holding, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Martinez and maybe Coquelin are […]

Morning all. Any plane crash makes dreadful news as seldom are there any survivors but when the majority of a football team and its coaching staff lose their lives it somehow feels different. Man Utd suffered such tragedies many years ago and last night, Chapecoense, a football club from Brazil, suffered in similar fashion. South America […]
Morning all. The talk this morning will again be about the referee. When Mike Jones dished out an early yellow card, something unusual in the game these days, I thought he was going to have a good game. However, he had a stinker. He missed the foul on Ozil in the move which resulted in […]
Football has the power to bring people together in a unique way and we believe there should be no barriers to feeling a sense of belonging to Arsenal Football Club. This is something we will continually drive to create an inclusive atmosphere for our fans, staff, players and followers – whomever they are and wherever […]
Morning all. Not much Arsenal news around really. Arsene Wenger has been bigging up Jack Wilshere by suggesting he’ll be offered a new contract real soon which I think is all rather odd. Yes he’s played a few matches on the trot now for Bournemouth and he’s earning rave reviews from Eddie Howe, but I’d […]
Morning all. As the Totts crashed out of the Champions League, a competition they are seldom in, Utd managed to pretty much secure a place in the next round of the Europa League, Leicester breezed into the next round just as Arsenal did too. Man City are pretty much through too. But it’s only ever […]
Morning all. There are things in life which motivate us humans, especially for those who need motivating. Sportspeople, businessmen and anyone who has the will to succeed needs this inner quality to reach the goals they set themselves. Striving to be the best in the business comes naturally to some, but not all, certainly as […]
Morning all. Finally, it’s official. Hector Bellerin has committed his long-term future to Arsenal, well, on paper anyway. £100,000 a week plus bonuses he’ll now earn which isn’t bad for a 21 year old is it? His agent said ages ago a deal was close but one can never trust agents, certainly not all of […]
Morning all. We have a strong and pretty deep squad but the one position we don’t have cover in is Santi Cazorla’s. Yes we have bodies, midfielder players, but none can do what the little Spaniard does and boy don’t we miss him. I guess Jack Wilshere is the closest player as far as similarities […]
Morning all. Another lunchtime kick off, another really awful performance at the Old Toilet. But I’m not sure what shocked me most, Mourinho sending his players out to actually try and play football, or Oliver Girouds stunning header late in the game. Oh, or the superb cross from our new right-back, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Nice! It […]
Morning all. Unless you happen to be a Man Utd fan, most football fans would be glad to see the back of Mourinho, and not only from the Premier League but football in general. Actually, I wouldn’t bet against a few Utd fans wishing him gone either. He’s an embarrassment to the game, to the […]
Morning all. Proper football is back, as is Arsene with his press conference. Not good news on Hector Bellerin who is out for around four weeks and Santi Cazorla remains out too as he’s not even back in training yet. Good news is that Alexis Sanchez has text his manager telling him his fit, healthy […]
