Morning all. A few headlines yesterday afternoon were about Abou Diaby. Talk is, he’s to be offered a pay as you play deal. Firstly, I haven’t a clue whether it’s true but secondly, it wouldn’t at all surprise me if it was… When Diaby has been fit and healthy, which I know seems a lifetime ago, […]

Morning all. Back in May 2004, Arsenal were top of the tree, Invincible, playing the best football in Britain and arguably the most entertaining in Europe or anywhere in the World. Arsenal’s worldwide appeal is a testament to that expansive football. A football that any Chelsea fan can only dream of… But that was as […]
Morning all. The Steven Gerrard swan song has been halted, hoorah! I’m so pleased that Liverpool were booted out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa, I really am and I’m not trying to suggest that playing Villa in the final will be an easier opposition as they won’t judging by their performance yesterday but […]
Morning all. Gary Neville – horrid, dirty footballer, turned well respected football pundit. There aren’t many of those. Listening to him analyse a match, it’s clear he knows what he’s talking about and when it comes to talking about his old club, he holds nothing back… Right now, his view is that Utd need a […]
Morning all. Just two days to go before Arsenal step out at Wembley once again. This time we face Reading FC, a side who have struggled this season in the Championship. Steve Clarke, an old mate of Mourinho is their manager and I bet the two will have an exchange of words before we kick […]
Morning all. British sprinter Richard Kilty says he is willing to bet £30,000 that he can outpace Arsenal speedsters Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott over any distance they fancy. This comes about after recent media reports stating that full-back Bellerin has overtaken England winger Walcott as the fastest man at Arsenal over 40 metres. All […]
Morning all. Sorry, it’s back to me again after Kev’s fine post yesterday so if you’ve any sense, you’ll jump straight to the comments section to see who’s around… Not a lot of news around today so I’ll keep it short and gossipy….. According to Kicker – Arsenal are ready to make a new, improved offer to […]
Morning all. Apparently Arsenal believe they have finally sealed a £4.5 million deal to land Velez Sarsfield’s exciting young Argentine striker Maxi Romero according to reports this morning. A third party ownership for the player was holding any deal up but that’s now been sorted out. Yeehah! Other reports suggest West Ham will pay £10 million […]
Morning all. It’s Friday, the sun is shining but not so brightly for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He’s had a rotten season really with injuries and it looks like he faces a few more weeks out yet. It is taking a bit longer than I thought because he has a groin inflammation. It is related to everything before. I […]
Morning all. Guess we’ll have to hope Aston Villa knock out Liverpool in the semi-finals after they scraped through against Blackburn last night. Darn and double darn! Can you imagine all the fuss and gushing over Steven Gerrard playing his last ever football match in a Dipper strip at Wembley….. Anyway, we have to beat […]
Morning all. A few comments over the last couple of days, not just on HH but across other websites I have read made me think about that very question. Has Arsene Wenger got lucky, or has he been clever… Nacho Monreal – he’s nailed down the left-back spot pushing many Arsenal fans favourite Kieran Gibbs […]
Morning all. Where did that four day break go? Man City losing away to Crystal Palace last night was a bit of a surprise. Or was it? Arsenal made the same trip back in February and a dubious penalty together with a goalkeeping error gifted us two first half goals which turned out to be […]
