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 […]
Morning all. A dreadful afternoon on many levels. The persistent rainfall, the very underwhelming Arsenal performance and perhaps the most odd Arsenal display was from the manager himself. Since when did he sit in the dugout with a tracksuit on? Come on Arsene, get back to the suit and red tie, please! Perhaps the relaxed […]
Morning all. 2015 was a pretty good year as far as Arsenal goes. No Champions League qualification required as we secured the dizzy heights of 3rd place in the league, another FA Cup won in style and finally, Arsene Wenger got one over Jose Mourinho in the Community Shield as the new season kicked off. […]
Morning all. What better way to see out 2015 than with Arsene Wenger muttering the words: We will be busy in the transfer window’… He even went onto say that he’s already busy.. I’m already busy and I said already one month ago we are a bit short to deal with all the competitions we […]
Morning all. That was the perfect result for us last night as City and Leicester played out a 0-0 draw which ensured we go into the New Year as league leaders but the season is only half way through and there’s a long way to go before we can start believing this is our time. […]
Morning all Another Monday night fixture for Arsenal today. Tonight we face one of the newly promoted sides in Bournemouth, a club which has had its problems in the past. In fact they are in trouble again this season for overspending during the 2014/15 transfer window and could face a hefty fine. Regardless, the club […]
Happy Boxing Day. Morning all. That’s Christmas over for another year. Such a shame the day goes by so quickly really as no sooner I’d eaten, watched the Queens speech and walked Fido, darkness arrived…. Boxing Day – I know the day has nothing to do with two people jumping into a ring and battering […]
Morning all. Ever wondered whether Arsene Wenger is generous at Christmas? Well, Martin Keown did a ‘question time’ in the Daily Mail and thanks to that very question being asked by someone called Matt, here’s your answer: Wenger can definitely be quite festive, he’s certainly not a scrooge. I think he saw Christmas as […]
Morning all. Sad news broke yesterday with the passing of Don Howe, aged 80. Arsenal player, coach and ‘stand in’ manager in years gone by and a man regarded by many as one of the best coaches ever in England. Don Howe was Bertie Mee’s assistant manager during Arsenal’s 1971 Double success….. There’s a really nice piece […]
Morning all. With Christmas Day nearly upon us, it’s a busy time for all, so don’t expect a lot from me over the next few days. I’ve brussels to peel, potatoes and parsnips too and unlike most of you who’ll just stick a bird in the oven, I’ve got to work out which veggie alternative […]
