Morning all. It’s hard to find any motivation to discuss football this morning after last night’s tragic events in Paris. I know football and terrorism are worlds apart but as Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny were helping the French team to victory over Germany, 127 people, many no doubt their fellow countrymen and women, were either being killed […]

Morning all. As Mesut Ozil enjoys a break from international duty thanks to Joachim Löw applying some common sense, Chris Coleman, the manager of Wales carries on with his pointless and petty comments about his selection for Wales. This all stems from Arsene Wenger’s comments on why Aaron Ramsey suffered injury: Maybe he was overloaded […]
Morning all. Bored? Me too and the international fixtures haven’t even kicked off yet! Calum Chambers will get some playing time today as he’ll line up for the England under 21’s and England manager Gareth Southgate isn’t overly concerned about the lack of playing time at Arsenal: He is important for us. At the moment he […]
Morning all. Big Ollie, one of Arsenal’s most recent ‘Marmite’ players. Some love him for his hold up play, his goal scoring ratio and his commitment. Others think he’s a bit of a carthorse and not clinical enough in front of goal. Sunday, he missed more than one opportunity in front of goal. The chance […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been awarded the Manager Of The Month award for October which is hardly surprising really as we had a great month in the Premier League, winning all four fixtures. October kicked off with a superb display against Man Utd, a game which saw us batter one of our league title […]
Morning all. Having been battered by Bayern just a few days ago, a tired and quite underwhelming performance followed… Spurz were up for the match, that’s for sure. Our boys probably were too but from the off, they looked a very tired bunch of men. The most noticeable was Santi Cazorla. The little Spaniard, so […]
Morning all. It’s Sunday. It’s North London Derby Day! When the league fixtures are announced, this one is probably the first one we all look for. When are we playing the the noisy lot over the road…? They are noisy, always noisy but seldom has their noise made a lot of sense. Seldom have they put […]
Morning all. Straight after tomorrows NLD, many players will jet off to play for their respective countries in what is a pointless two week break imo. Mesut Ozil has been left out of the German side as Joachim Low allows him two weeks of rest which is good, because he needs it. I hope Santi […]
Morning all. Next summer, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini, Tomas Rosicky and Joel Campbell are all out of contract. According to the Mail, Mikel Arteta has been offered a one year extension but as far as I know, none of the others have. Back in the summer, there were plenty of stories around which suggested that […]
Morning all. Did you expect that? I did, kind of, but I didn’t think we’d concede five! With our list of walking wounded, made worse by Bellerin and Koscielny joining it, things were always going to be tricky on a night when Bayern wanted revenge in front of their home fans. Scoring five goals in a […]
Morning all. What is wrong with some people? Raheem Sterling posted a lovely picture on Twitter of himself with his daughter and niece and the abuse he got, mainly from Liverpool fans, was absolutely disgusting! I thought, well, rather hoped, that in 2015, the world would be a much better place than it clearly is. […]
Morning all. We needed 3-0, we got 2-0 and were out of Europe…. Goals from Ollie and Koscielny gave us hope but as so often is the case in the Champions League, the result at home left us with a mountain to climb and back then, that mountain was far too steep. The same result […]
