Morning all. Funny old Sunday wasn’t it. Chelsea burst into. 2-0 lead, Hull City drew level and then the away team grabbed a late winner. Shame.. Before that game, Gerrard waved goodbye to his last battle against Utd with a red card and then suffered as his side lost at home to one of their […]

Morning all. Happy birthday to Paul Merson who is 47 years old today. The BBC are showing the FA Cup semi-final between Reading and Arsenal on the 18th April and on the same day, pretty much the same time, Sky sports are showing the Premier League clash between Man Utd and Chelsea…. Whatever happened to the […]
Morning all. Hector Bellerin is 20 years old today. Happy birthday to him… You won’t have to scratch your head and search your memory too much to recall the great moments Dennis Bergkamp dished up. Anyone who has read Stillness and Speed will know that as much as Dennis was a world class player, he acknowledged […]
Morning all. So out we went again at the same old stage we like to each Spring. It’d be easy to say ‘just one more goal’ and yes, that’s all we needed last like in order to progress. However, until we either learn to do better in the Group stages and top the league in […]
Roy of the Rovers did it, but that was in truth, fiction. A boys own comic story. That kind of fairytale just doesn’t happen in the real world. The real world of tough, unforgiving, cynical professional football… Or does it? A callow French youth, of 18 years young, moved to Arsenal permanently, on 1st July 2009, […]
Morning all. Young Hector Bellerin has been offered a new contract. Smart move Arsenal, although I doubt him agreeing another four years will prevent Barcelona from sniffing around their old player any time soon. He must be enjoying life in the Arsenal fast lane right now and we can only hope that remains the case […]
Morning all. Earlier in the season, very early in the season, the 22nd of August to be precise, Oliver Giroud suffered a broken left tibia against Everton and was ruled out for a long time. So much so, Arsene Wenger didn’t include him in our pre 2015 Champions League campaign. Apparently, during his time out, […]
Morning all. Still smiling? Yep me too. We have a few more days of milking that wonderful victory yet….. Danny Welbeck has been talking about his winning goal: Manchester United is a club that means so much to me, I’m a fan and it’s hard to knock them out. I was just doing my job. It […]
Morning all. I loved Paul Merson. He was a great player for us and when he left the club, I was pretty sad. Off the pitch he’s been a bit of a plank with alcohol and other naughty substances getting him into all sorts of trouble and I’d say he’s pretty lucky to have such a high […]
Morning all. The Telegraph report that Arsene Wenger is considering letting Per Mertesacker go in the summer and bringing in a new defender. True, who knows but it would make sense. Unlike Paul Scholes – you know the one, ginger hair and quite a dirty player. He’s also the bitter and twisted one who missed […]
Morning all. Regardless of the league challenge, or perhaps top four place mission is better suited as that seems to be where Arsenal remain, the talk about Arsene Wenger and his future continues to rumble on. Why wouldn’t it? After all, this was meant to be the season things changed. We had the money, whilst […]
Well the result was good last night, The performance was quite average in the first half but way better in the second half with way more tempo and appetite to get at Qpr and if we had been a little more clinical should and could of killed the game off before they scored their goal […]
