Morning all. With Liverpool drawing their game in hand with Everton during the week, the pre-match prediction of a 9 point gap opening up at the top didn’t happen. A 98th minute equaliser from James Tarkowski not only secured a point for Everton but it sparked a bit of nastiness between the two […]

Afternoon guys. The bad news just keeps on coming for Arsenal. After Gabriel Martinelli picked up an injury last week which is likely to keep him out of the game for a month, it seems Kai Havertz has picked up a hamstring injury which according to David Ornstein, is so bad he won’t […]
Morning all. I watched a bit of football yesterday. Arsenal women’s 2-0 victory over London City Lionesses in the FA Cup was a bit of a bland game but what I found quite amusing, rightly or wrongly, was hearing the “oooooooooooooooooh you’re sh*t ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” being shouted loudly by what sounded like a […]
Afternoon guys. Just like the men, Arsenal’s women were knocked out of the League Cup this week. Man City won the game 2-1 with literally the last kick of the game. Having gone 1-0 down, we equalised from the penalty spot. City then had a penalty of their own […]
Morning all. What did I say about the “Arsenal need a striker” debate? Well, just a few days after thumping City, Arsenal showed zero composure or real threat in front of goal during last nights defeat against Newcastle so it’s back. Not that it’s ever really gone away. After all the pre match […]
Morning all. I feel a bit flat, disappointed, yet not surprised. After all the chat about how the club are trying hard to sign reinforcements after suffering injuries to both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal did nothing during this transfer window. The frustrating thing is, we needed a goal scorer before those […]
Morning all. How many times have you and I heard pundits say “there’s not enough contact for me” after one of our players has been fouled in the opposition box? Too many to recall. This morning I saw the penalty Liverpool were awarded against Bournemouth and it has to be up there with some […]
Morning all. Back in the old days, it was Arsene Wenger against Fergie, Arsenal against Manchester United. The game football waited for each season, certainly during Arsene’s first ten seasons at the club. These days though, it’s the blue side of Manchester v Arsenal which is hogging the pre match weekend headlines. […]
Morning all. Arsenal have been charged by the FA for failing to ensure their players “did not behave in an improper manner”. Arsenal can appeal this charge of course and why not, it’s not like other club players act in a similar way yet go unpunished. Of course it’s not good […]
Morning all. Yesterday afternoon, Sky Sports reported that Arsenal had made a £60 odd million offer for Villa’s Ollie Watkins. The offer was rapidly rejected. £60 million is a lot of money for a player who turns 30 years old in December but Arsenal are expected to up their offer. Part of me […]
Morning all. Well that didn’t take long did it? News of Arsenal’s appeal came out yesterday lunchtime and by dinner time, the red card shown to MLS at the weekend, was rescinded. Rightly so too. Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol: I think it just proves that the systems we’ve already got […]
Afternoon all. The big news this lunchtime is that Arsenal have appealed the red card Michael Oliver couldn’t wait to show Myles Lewis-Skelly. Now it’s over to the FA to apply some common sense. Look at the decision made on the day and not all the photos or slow motion videos which have been […]
