Morning all. Mikel Arteta’s hair has often been commented on here on HH. Not out of nastiness but because it’s always “just so”. Ironic that a man who seeks perfection in football, pretty much has the perfect hair. In fact everything about him whiffs on being the best he can be which can only […]

Morning all. Finally, and thankfully, this month’s international break is over and it’s back to domestic football this weekend. When we, Arsenal, play Chelsea, I often think back to that rainy day many years ago now. The match was at Stamford Bridge on the 23rd October back in1999. The player, Nwankwo Kanu. Chelsea were 2-0 […]
Morning all. David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale have more than just playing for Arsenal in common as both are vying for the number one spot for their respective countries. Ramsdale sits behind Jordan Pickford, Raya, Unai Simon. Others are in the mix too, like Kepa for Spain but ultimately, dislodging the keeper who regularly starts […]
Morning all. Eddie Nketiah’s England career kicked off last night in a friendly against Australia. I didn’t watch it but looking at the Sky Sports player ratings, he didnt impress much in his 17 minutes on the pitch. By the sounds of it, England were shocking. Jordan Henderson was booed off apparently as England fans […]
Morning all. It’s bonkers really as just eight games in, one only has to look at the sports pages to find ex footballers and pundits saying that Chelsea and Manchester Utd won’t finish in the top four, Liverpool won’t challenge for the title, Totts challenge will fade and die and Man City will come roaring […]
Morning all. When I wrote about Arsenal v Man City a couple of days ago, suggesting that the game wouldn’t get going until either side scored a goal, I wasn’t far wrong. The game didn’t really get going at all, not in the true sense of the word. In fact it was more like a […]
Morning all. Tomorrow, Arsenal take on Man City, then it’s yet another international break. Gareth Southgate has named Bukayo Saka in his squad but I’m hoping both the player and Mikel Arteta have other ideas. 88/89 minutes on the clock on Sunday, if of course Saka is even involved in the game let alone still […]
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]Afternoon all. Charles Sagoe Jr, Reuell Walters, Ismail Oulad M’Hand, Jack Henry-Francis, Jimi Gower, Bless Akolbire. Khayon Edwards, Lino Sousa and Amario Cozier-Duberry were all involved in pre Lens training. Look who else was involved…. What a massive boost it is for the club to have Thomas Partey back […]
Morning all. It’s easy for me, you and every football fan in the world to express our opinions on management, coaches, players, even the tea lady but imagine what it must be like for a player who a club has spent vast amounts of millions on, when little seems to go right. We moan, the […]
Morning all. We go again and this is how our season will continue all the time we’re in all four competitions. Winning against Brentford was an excellent result. Mikel Arteta gave a lot of minutes to most of the players who so far this season, have had limited time on the pitch. The Spaniard bigged […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta was true to his word, he made changes for last night’s EFL Cup match against Brentford. Mind you, he had little choice really because of the umber of injuries we as a club currently have. Arsenal: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, White, Kiwior, Jorginho, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Sagoe Jr, Nketiah. Subs: Hein, […]
Morning all. Arsenal are back in action again tonight against Brentford in the EFL Cup. Mikel Arteta talked about injuries during his press conference, about scoring goals being a difficult thing to do but, with the number of opportunities we’ve created, he believes we should have scored more. I think most of us would agree […]
