Morning all. Sorry for my absence which I promise had nothing to do with Arsenal or the manager. Belated Happy Birthday to Ray Parlour who turned 43 years old yesterday. I doubt any of us will ever forget the ‘It’s only Ray Parlour’ comment by Tim Lovejoy just before the Englishman unleashed a super shot […]

Morning all. Alexis Sanchez has said that this current side lacks ‘hunger’ in their challenge for the Premier League title which is all a bit odd really. ‘If we go out on to the pitch with hunger to become champions, to win the Premier League or the Champions League, we can achieve it,’ the Chilean […]
Morning all. Leicester had drawn on Tuesday night, the Totts faced a tricky trip to West Ham last night. This could be our chance to grab three points and close the gap. As expected, the Totts lost, as unexpected or perhaps expected, so did Arsenal. Joe Campbell replaced Theo Walcott – great move by Arsene […]
Morning all. Santi Cazorla could be out for the rest of the season. Santi is not doing too well. He has some Achilles problems that hold him (back). His knee is doing well but his Achilles has inflamed a little bit and we have to put him off impact. It is a reaction to him coming […]
Morning all. There’s been plenty of dire performances this season but the performance at Old Trafford has to be the worst. Up against a side which not only has been poor this season but had nearly a dozen injuries, injuries which forced LvG to make changes. A makeshift back four which included Michael Carrick – […]
Morning all. Steve Bruce, has been quoted as saying that he wants Isaac Hayden on a permanent deal. Apparently he tried to secure such a deal back in January but Arsenal said no. Good and I hope they say the same in the summer. Hayden is one of those players which few fans will have […]
Morning all. The clubs around us at the top of the table barring Leicester, have enjoyed a good week in Europe, with all winning their fixtures comprehensively to progress further in their respective competition. None though faced an opposition in the class of Barcelona so as much as the media want to ‘big up’ their […]
Morning all. No doubt we Arsenal fans will continue to be critical of Arsene Wenger after our loss to Barcelona a couple of nights ago. The lack of top quality players signed over the years, the tactics deployed in the league and Europe and perhaps the strongest of all criticism surrounds the players the club have […]
Morning all. It’s been a grand total of 18 consecutive seasons for Arsenal in the Champions League; a British record. Arsenal surpass the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United convincingly and are a staple in the competition like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, that’s where the comparisons end. We have never done it. […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has held his press conference ahead of tomorrow and the main points are: Laurent Koscielny will be available for Hull Gabriel will be out for another week Jack Wilshere will return in three or four weeks David Ospina will start against the Tigers, as could Mohamed Elneny Jack Wilshere is still […]
Morning all. Rumours are flying around which suggest that when the new season kicks off, Petr Cech will be wearing the captains armband and I’m not surprised. Mikel Arteta is being heavily tipped to retire from playing in the summer to take up a coaching role and it’s unlikely that Per Mertesacker will be a […]
Summer 2015 saw Arsenal pull off the coup of the season. They signed Cech. While the mere thought of giving Cech to the team he loved to hate was making a manager cringe, his captain immediately said that Cech was worth an extra 12 points. In the game against Leicester we saw just that with a huge save […]
