Morning all. Bit of gossip. The Star report that sources in Spain believe Arsene Wenger is ready to ditch Wojciech Szczesny and offer Guillermo Ochoa an escape route from his Malaga nightmare. Having moved to Spain last summer, he’s yet to make it off the bench…. For some strange reason, I can’t see their being an ounce of […]

Morning All, Well another quiet day in the world of “Arsenal”. We have been told that the injuries to Alexis isn’t to serious and although the hamstring injury that Aaron Ramsey picked up was touted at keeping him out for four weeks there are hopes he could be back sooner than that. We shall see, […]
Morning all. Theo Walcott – perhaps the most annoying and frustrating player at Arsenal right now. Well, apart from Abou Diaby who at least we know will be gone in the summer.. There are days, admittedly few, when he can destroy a side but sadly, there are many more when he just jogs around the […]
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. 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 […]
