Morning all, Well we turned up and lost yet again….. Hardly a surprise to many who had us down for a defeat long before we the game had even started. We did for the first time in years show signs of getting stuck in and keeping shape but at the end of the day it […]

Morning all. Back in 1977 and through to 1984, Brian McDermott made 61 appearances for Arsenal FC in midfield but he didn’t quite have what it takes to make it with us and he was sent out on loan to Fulham and IFK Norrköping before eventually departing for good. Most people these days will probably know […]
Morning all. Kenny Dalglish has been writing for The Mirror about tomorrow’s game against Chelsea. His view is that no matter what the outcome is, Arsenal fans will still be grumpy and of course, remain very critical of Arsene Wenger. He’s spent too much money on players. He hasn’t spent enough money on players. He shouldn’t be […]
Morning all. Full of confidence after his hat-trick on Wednesday night, Danny Welbeck has had a few words to say to his old manager. He’s quoted in one of this mornings newspapers as saying: Nobody can really criticise my finishing because they don’t really see me playing in a forward position too often. But now […]
Morning all. I hope Uefa throw the book at Galatasary and their fans! Throwing flares on the pitch as they did last night was not only stupid, it was darn right dangerous! Thank goodness we don’t behave in such a fashion! I also hope that referee from last gets dumped out of the Champions League […]
Morning all. Eighteen years Arsene Wenger has been Arsenal manager, the first eight, maybe nine were pretty darn good eh! Great football arrived, some great players arrived too and those he inherited, he gave a new lease of life to and with it came a few trophies. Then The Emirates came along, top players were sold […]
Morning all. Happy Birthday to Olivier Giroud who is 28 years old today. No birthday cake demanded as far as I know but apparently he’s been given a two year contract extension. Wow, that’s a nice birthday present isn’t it! He’s now with us until 2018 which will no doubt please many Arsenal fans. Giroud […]
Morning all. First up, a big well done to Europe in the Ryder Cup, they absolutely battered the Americans and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Nothing quite like spanking the Yanks! We need more goals don’t we, many more goals. It’s all well and good talking after a game about how we had 70% or […]
Morning all. I’m not going to go through the game as everyone would have watched it and needless to say, a draw was not a good result. A victory yesterday should have been a formality against a very average Tottenham side, so what does that say about us eh! Why Arsene Wenger didn’t start with […]
Morning all. Don’t get too excited, Wenger is not promising to spend many millions of pounds in January on a Centre Back, Central Defensive Midfielder or any other players which we so seriously need, he’s just saying that the team today will be very different to the one which lost at home to Southampton in […]
Morning all. First up, Happy Birthday to Kieran Gibbs and Kenny Sansom – one is 25 today, the other 56….. Not long to go now before the big match, the first North London Derby of the season and our boys can’t wait. Even Alexis Sanchez is chomping at the bit. Alexis and Jack played 90 […]
Morning all. On this day back in 1991, Ian Wright made his Arsenal debut in a league cup fixture against Leicester. He scored too! That’s what great strikers do…. Arsene Wenger wants to change Abou Diaby’s style of play. Instead of being the tall and powerful box to box player he was, (cough) he’s now […]
