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 […]

Morning all. I didn’t see the game annoyingly and at the time of writing, I haven’t even seen the goals. Anyway, we lost against a strong Southampton side and the only positive from that is we are out of one of the cups, leaving us to concentrate on the Premier League, Champions League and FA […]
Morning all. What a bizarre weekend of football that was. Well, good actually as it’s always nice to see the sides who the media love fall by the wayside. Everton and Tottenham got spanked at home, Utd threw away a 2-1 lead to lose 5-3 at Leicester and Liverpool got hammered at Upton Park and […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the entire game, just a few highlights including the goals. The two we scored were pretty good weren’t they and good to see Danny Welbeck open his goal scoring account and Mesut Ozil get his first for the season. I must admit, I didn’t expect us to get anything at […]
Morning all. I would have loved to have managed Didier Drogba, for two reasons. One, I missed him when he played at Le Mans in France, not even in the top league. I knew there was a good player there and I missed him.And secondly, because he hurt us so much in big games that […]
Morning all.. Tsgh kindly wrote his thoughts after the match on Tuesday so here they are…. For a man who started his European football management career so promisingly 30 or so years ago and even made the semi – finals with a moderately assembled team in his second attempt, one would have expected Arsene Wenger […]
Well what can you say about that utter rubbish served up last night. We were truly awful and the performance highlighted exactly where our problems lie. Firstly, I have to say that Dortmund were excellent, they ran us ragged all over the pitch and as terrible as we were they were a joy to watch. […]
Morning all. I know the injury to Mathieu Debuchy was a fluke and it could have happened to anyone who plays football but it’s happened to us, again! There are mixed reports about the extent of his injury, the player suggests it’s not too serious, whereas other reports quote 2/3 months. Fingers crossed it’s not […]
Morning all. Louis van Gaal has been asked why he sold Danny Welbeck to Arsenal: Welbeck played for three years at Manchester United after his Sunderland loan but he doesn’t have a Robin van Persie or Wayne Rooney record. He didn’t have the standard. So that’s why he sold him! As for the question about […]
Morning all. Back in 1998 and on this very day, Freddie Ljunberg signed for Arsenal FC. What a super little player he was. Him and his red hair and CK pants forever on show! Bit early for the CK’s so red hair it is… I wonder if back then, anyone said Freddie who? Mesut Ozil, […]
Morning all. Kieran Gibbs must be nearing a return. I think Arsene Wenger said just before our last game that he was a ‘little bit short’ so would miss out against Leicester. In his absence and in my opinion, Nacho Monreal has slowly gone back to being the solid left back we signed in January […]
Morning all. Both Spain and England played last night. England beat Switzerland 2-0 with our new boy playing the entire match and scoring both England goals. Hopefully he will return full of confidence and start scoring goals for his club. Nice to see him make a dash to the sideline and celebrate his goal with […]
