Morning all. If having to face Utd at their place wasn’t bad enough, as expected, the fixture has been moved to suit the Broadcasting companies and they’ve managed to pluck out the worst time and days for all Arsenal fans. Monday 9th March at 7.45! What complete and utter buffoons! Public transport is limited, especially […]
Morning all. First day of Lent today so what are you giving up, anything?

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 […]
