Morning all. What a lousy way to end the Arsenal year. In fact December has been lousy full stop. Yes, the defeat of Brighton was good but other than that, Arsenal’s football has been pretty grim. Mikel Arteta can talk statistics and improvement all he likes but that’s all it’s been, talk. Talk is like […]

Morning all. Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s Head of Global Partnerships since 2010 has been awarded an OBE for his services to sport. Before joining Arsenal, he formed part of the commercial team of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics which saw the global sporting event hosted in his home city. Vinai has also served the British […]
Morning all. That Arsenal performance was disappointing. Was the ball out just before West Ham scored? Probably but unless technology intervenes, or rules change, goals like the one last night will always stand. Michael Oliver hadn’t seen the ball cross the line, nor had the linesman and the camera angles didn’t show enough for VAR […]
Evening all. I hope you all had the best Christmas you could have. Mine was quiet, as quiet as it could be with a four month old puppy in the house who is still biting everything, including me. Still, her baby teeth are starting to drop out so the spiteful days should be coming to […]
Morning guys. Just want to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas. Christmas is a time for peace and goodwill to all but for some of us, it can be sad too as we face the first one without someone who touched our hearts. For me personally, Highbury House hasn’t quite been […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta named the same eleven which defeated Brighton last weekend for yesterday’s match against Liverpool and the guys started well. A free kick whipped in by Martin Odegaard saw Gabriel out jump the rest to head home. 1-0, the perfect start. Alexander Arnold hoofed a long ball up to Mo Salah, Oleksandr […]
Morning all. It’s a big one today. Liverpool v Arsenal at Anfield, 2nd V 1st. Liverpool don’t often draw at home let alone lose. Utd broke their winning run last weekend but that was more to do with Klopp’s team being terrible in front of goal rather than Utd putting in a top notch […]
Morning all. A statement from Arsenal FC this morning reads: Arsenal Football Club notes the judgement by the European Court of Justice on Thursday, 21 December 2023 and our position in relation to the European Super League has not changed. We will continue to play in UEFA competitions and continue to work with fellow European […]
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]Morning all. Manchester United went to Anfield at the weekend and nicked a point. Utd never really looked like scoring and had Liverpool been more efficient in front of goal, they’d have won. For Utd, the point was probably something to celebrate as they’re going through turmoil on and […]
Morning all. Arsenal v Brighton was expected to be tough match but in reality, it wasn’t. That’s not me being disrespectful to the visitors but giving praise for Mikel Arteta’s team. The possession stats ended being pretty even but Arsenal had 22 shots at the Brighton goal with 9 on target compared to the […]
Morning all. Firstly, Luton’s Tom Lockyer collapsed during their game with Bournemouth yesterday. He was stretched off, taken to hospital and later in the day he was confirmed to have suffered a cardiac arrest. The game was postponed, rightly so I hasten to add but thank goodness, the player is ok. I wish him well […]
Morning all. The FA and PL must have been spitting feathers when the independent Regulatory Commission found the charge against Mikel Arteta for an alleged breach of FA Rules following the Newcastle game to be unproven. I read though some of the report, longwinded as it was, and basically, Mikel Arteta was deemed to have […]
