Morning all. These games are high intensity and high intensity is dictated by how well you prepare mentally and how well you’re ready physically. I believe that on both sides that we will be ready. – Arsène Wenger Clearly, we weren’t……! I didn’t see the game but by all accounts, we were awful, Martin Atkinson […]

Morning fine folk… Alexis Sanchez has been ruled out for tomorrows big match. I’m gutted, we are all gutted no doubt, well apart from all those who support the Toots…. Well, I will be if he doesn’t play but during this mornings press conference, Arsene Wenger has put the cat amongst the pigeons: “Sanchez wants […]
Morning all. Is there anything on our footballing mind other than Saturday’s lunchtime fixture? Of course not! It’s often said that this fixture shouldn’t need a managers motivational pre-match talk and in years gone by and back in the day when we had the likes of Tony Adams leading the side out, every player knew […]
Morning all. You may have already seen that one of the HH regulars, SYG, has written an Arsenal related book called ‘I Am Sam’. Pain In The Arsenal have kindly reviewed the book and to read more, click HERE. If that little taster has tempted you to buy a copy of the book, it’s available […]
Morning all. What a boring deadline day that was for Arsenal fans, to be fair, it’s been boring full stop. No midfielder signed up which is a huge disappointment but it is what it is and we just have to hope Francis Coquelin doesn’t pick up and injury or suspension and Mikel Arteta makes a […]
Morning all. He is a specialist at centre-back and with the fixtures we have in from of us, that is needed. What I saw was a great quality for a defender, his level of concentration. He is physically able to adapt to the Premier League because he is quite a good size and is quick […]
Morning all. Team news ahead of Sunday from Le Boss: The squad will be exactly the same as last Sunday. The only uncertainty we have is Alexis Sanchez who has a hamstring concern, and that will be decided on Saturday. He might be out for Sunday. The only [other] difference is that Gabriel is available […]
Morning all. So Gabriel is finally an Arsenal player and if he’s as hard as he looks, we are in for a treat. We’ve lack a bit of physicality at the back for a while now, probably since the day Big Sol left us. Actually, make that Martin Keown, he didn’t take much c**p did he…. So, […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta has signed a one year contract extension according to his agent. I’m sure a few fans will be pleased about that…. Work permit secured, Joel Campbell is in Spain, yet still nothing officially confirmed by Arsenal.com about Gabriel. They do like to keep us all waiting don’t they, perhaps Arsene is waiting […]
Morning all. Chuba Akpom is being heavily linked to Liverpool. Our young striker, who looks miles ahead of Yaya Sanogo in terms of footballing skill, is out of contract this summer and free to move wherever he wants. Liverpool aren’t the only side who are reported to be interested in snapping up our youngster with […]
Morning all, So we’re led to believe we have made an offer for German defender/midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz, Well I like him, he is a grafter big and strong and also pretty good on the ball. He’s only 26 and can play right back and right midfield. A good acquisition if it’s true but then again […]
Morning all. I go from being too romantic to too pragmatic. We knew that it was important for us to be a bit more cautious. We wanted to be a bit more reassured. Last year we conceded many goals in big games so maybe we were a bit more focused on defending well together. But […]
