Morning all. 2016 isn’t being kind to the music world is it. This morning news broke that the Eagles guitarist Glen Frey has passed away aged 67. The man behind Hotel California, Take it Easy and a number of other great hits will write no more. Such sad news. As is Dale Griffin passing too […]

Morning all. I’m pretty happy with that point, especially with our history at The Britannia Stadium and like most Arsenal fans, I believe the result at Anfield was more annoying and frustrating. Having led 3-2 only to concede so late in the game left the draw feeling like a loss. So many clubs have gone […]
Morning all. I can still remember it now. The whistle had barely blown to start the game and Arsenal were 1-0 down at The Britannia Stadium. Ollie missed a header from just yards out to make the score even but before half-time arrived, it was 3-0 and we had been well and truly battered. 3-0 nearly […]
Morning all. Mohammed Elneny is clearly not a short-term fix. He’s young yet experienced, but of course he’s never experienced a fixture like a trip up North to face a bullish Stoke City side on a cold winters day. He may very do just that on Sunday though. Saying that, Switzerland is a cold country […]
Morning all. For the neutral, a great game, for an Arsenal fan, a bitter ending. Liverpool came out of the blocks hard and fast from the off, we were all over the place. A non existent midfield was soon clear to see and Liverpool loved it. The home team raced into the lead after some […]
Morning all. Bolton, Bradford, Birmingham, Bayern Munich, Barcelona…. The list goes on. All at some stage have been a bogey side for us in the domestic and European cups. Last night we drew another ‘B’ in Burnley! At least it’s a home fixture which is always better but Burnley got through the last round with […]
Morning all. The music world has been shocked and deeply saddened this morning after the passing of David Bowie was announced. I’m stunned, he was part of my growing up, he was Mr Music when I was a kid and his voice will be missed by millions. Apparently he was spotted in Surrey early New […]
Morning all. Two bits of news this morning. One most us already know and that’s Alexis Sanchez won’t be involved in tomorrows FA Cup match against Sunderland, the other being Chelsea are sniffing around Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Can’t say I’m overly fussed about the Alexis news as it’s better he makes a return when he’s 100% […]
Morning all. Changes are expected on Saturday as the manager rests a few first team players ahead of a trip to Anfield and Jeff Reine-Aderlaide is one of a few younger players tipped to get some playing time. With the Capital One Cup long gone for Arsenal, the FA Cup could be the only real […]
Morning all. Rumours coming out of France suggest Adrien Rabiot desperately wants to leave PSG in search of regular first team football. According to the back pages of London’s finest newspapers, both Arsenal and Tottenham would welcome the player on board. I’d imagine Rabiot is no different to many footballers who are not getting enough […]
Morning all. John Roberts passed away yesterday aged 69…. He was a railway fireman before taking up football and joined Arsenal from Northampton Town in April 1969 where he stayed for three years. During his time at the club, he helped Arsenal to win a league and FA Cup double in 1971. Sad to hear of another […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger after the scrappy victory over Newcastle: It is another aspect of your team that is tested in a game like that. You fight, not to concede a goal, not panic and wait for your chance. We were more questioned on that aspect than the way we play football, so it is good […]
