Morning all. 1988, on this day, Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 3-0. Paul Merson got the first two and David Rocastle finished the game off with a super solo goal. Remember it? I had to take a peep at Youtube to refresh my memory… Those were the days eh, real men playing football. None of this play […]

Morning all. Jeeze this international break is boring….. Not even the news that Yaya Sanogo scored two goals last night excites me. Mikel Arteta has begun the ‘let’s turn our season around’ chat. Good, he’s right, something needs to happen, we need to start playing better and we have to start winning football matches again. […]
Morning all. What’s all this stuff about Paul Pogba? Maybe Arsene Wenger could have signed him had he tried a bit harder, after all, he was available on a freebie, but what’s the point in bragging about something which he didn’t make happen? There’s been so many too, Ronaldo, Cech, Drogba, Cahill… The list goes […]
Morning All. Bit of an Arsenal night for England. Kieran Gibbs, Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere and before the game ended, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all donned the Three Lions shirt. Jack was awarded the man of the match award and Welbeck scored two goals which secured the 3-1 victory over Slovenia. And as far as I know, […]
Morning all. It’s Saturday, it’s the boring international break and there’s very little Arsenal stuff doing the rounds. The Express report that Arsene Wenger will try again in January to sign Lars Bender and Goal.com report that Arsenal have been told they can sign Matija Nastasic for a cut price of £5 million during the next […]
Morning all. Big Ollie G is back in full training and he might even be ready to face Manchester United if things go well and no set-backs are suffered. Who’d have thought he’d recover as quickly as he has, certainly not me. Good news or bad? Well, when it comes to defending corners and set-pieces […]
Morning all. Where has all this rain come from? Yesterday afternoon I went from windows open and enjoying the fresh air circulating around my house with sunshine lighting up every room to darkness, rain, and more rain. And boy did it fall!! Not nice, especially when I needed the windows open to help dilute the […]
Morning all. Many thought Sami Khedira was a done deal last summer, certainly Stan Collymore who claimed to know the ins and outs of Arsenal’s transfer business. It never happened though and it’s unlikely to happen in January or next summer when he’s available for free. Why? Because according to reports in Spain, having seen […]
As the dust settles on yet another horrible result, we are left to ponder what happens next. Does the club throw in the towel and say enough is enough? Does the club stick with what is has and wait to see how the season pans out? At this moment in time the club finds itself […]
Morning all. Nacho Monreal. Does he really deserve all the stick he’s getting? I read a headline on Newsnow suggesting many fans want him gone and I find that hard to believe. Apart from giving away a penalty against Anderlecht on Tuesday, he’s not been that bad but height is not on his side and […]
Morning all. Gossip: Got to love the Mail. They reckon that in the next few days, Arsenal will step up their hunt for a Defender and Defensive Midfielder. Celtic’s Virgil van Dyke, Aston Villa skipper Ron Vlaar and Manchester United central defender Chris Smalling will be weighed up according to the newspaper. Paris St Germain teenager […]
Morning all. On this day back in 1932, Gillespie Road station was renamed the Arsenal station. Bet you didn’t know that did you? No, neither did I… Gossip: A few headlines around this morning suggesting Arsene Wenger wants Swiss defender Fabian Schar and will make a £10 million offer in January, if not before! Apparently the […]
