Morning all. You may have seen that Citroen advert, I thought it was great. Good to see a bit of fun with Arsenal players involved. More fun is the transfer gossip from todays newspapers: In The Express: Ollie will be sold and Karim Benzema will be his replacement! Wenger also has an eye on Leicester’s […]

Morning all. Happy St Michael Thomas Day!! 1989, back on this very day Michael Thomas charged through the midfield, to score and win the most dramatic league title ever for Arsenal. The greatest ever finish to a league title. Fever Pitch was born. As was the great sporting commentary ‘It’s up for grabs now’. Brian Moore, probably […]
Morning all. Argentine journalist Hernan Feler tweeted: After the Copa America in Chile, it will be made official the arrival of Arturo Vidal to Arsenal. Everything is closed. If Feler is as reliable as the journos in England, his bold statement may hold little truth. What a great way to end the Premier League campaign, […]
Morning all. I’m still chuckling away having finally watched A League Of Their Own yesterday. James Corden is funny, very funny at times and he certainly doesn’t lack confidence when it comes to facing the challenges he’s set. He’s a bit of a tit at times, but entertaining…. Anyway, on the show was our very […]
Morning all. When Danny Welbeck is fit, it’s easy. Same when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is fit but when both of those players are missing, why does Arsene Wenger simply make do? Since neither have been available, we’ve seen Aaron Ramsey play out on the right and then on Wednesday, Jack Wilshere was thrown out there. Why? […]
Morning all. Injury news from the manager up first: We have no basic injuries from our last game. We had a few jaded legs but we will see how everybody recovers. Players back? Danny Welbeck no, Chamberlain is back in full training today and Debuchy as well though they may be a bit short. Good […]
Morning all. Sunderland needed just one point for Premier League survival and that’s exactly what they played for and got. They were always going to throw any part of their bodies in front of a shot or cross as they were desperate. And so typically, their goalkeeper had a night to remember for all the […]
Morning all. Back in 1993 and on this very day, Arsenal beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 to win the FA Cup, thanks to Andy Linighan’s 119th minute header. All the back pages are filled with the ‘Cech in Arsenal talks’ story and as much as I hope this is true and we can get a deal done, […]
Morning all. Back in 1980 and on this very day, Liam Brady played his last game for Arsenal. £500,000 was enough to convince Arsenal to sell him to Juventus….. Third place is a step forward from where we finished last year, But we want to – and need to – be pushing on now and trying to […]
Morning all. Well that was all a bit weird wasn’t it. A strong Arsenal eleven up against what really was an average depleted Man Utd side. For the first hour, we were awful. We were second to the ball, being outfought and out thought all over the pitch and when we did get hold of the […]
Morning all. Don’t you miss those days? The days when we we faced Utd and the rivalry was immense. So much so I’d say a fixture against that lot was equally if not more feisty than playing the neighbours. Fergie v Wenger, Paddy v Keane, Keown v van Nistelrooy and Wrighty against Schmeichel and of […]
Morning all. Back in 1998 and on this very day, Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley in the FA Cup Final to seal the ‘Double’ for the second time. Marc Overmars opened the scoring and Nicolas Anleka finished the Geordies off for the first time in a Cup Final having lost both previous encounters in 1932 and […]
