Morning all. Nine points from our last eight games. Nine points out of the twenty seven on offer. Since the moment Granit Xhaka had his spat with Alexander- Arnold, Mikel Arteta’s team, regardless of who played, has been all at sea. Barring the Newcastle game of course. Yesterday’s team selection and setup was bizarre to […]

Morning all. The penultimate fixture of the season is here, an away match against Nottingham Forest who are not yet 100% sure of Premier League survival. In other words, they need a win. I read that Forest brought in 29 new players this season which is staggering really. Steve Cooper looked on the brink of […]
Morning all. Thanks for your support guys, it’s been a tough couple of weeks but as we all know, the world doesn’t stop just because you or I are hurting. Anyway, I’m back to bore you with with my moaning and waffle. I’ve seen a bit of Arsenal’s last couple of games and as good […]
Morning all. I just love a 94th minute goal when it’s against Man Utd to win the game. Eddie Nketiah’s winning goal earlier in the season against them was late but Brighton’s was later I think. The very fact the home team were awarded penalty was a miracle in itself regardless of how obvious it […]
Morning all. Regardless of Chelsea’s struggles and poor results, beating them was never a forgone conclusion, especially when one considers our recent wobbles. Mikel Arteta made a few changes to the starting lineup, resting Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey and Rob Holding for Leandro Trossard, Jorginho and Jakub Kiwior. All three barely put a foot wrong […]
Morning all. If the way the Arsenal Women’s team were knocked out of the Champions League doesn’t pull on your heart strings, you must be made of stone. To even reach the semi-final was a miracle really as it seemed that as each week of this campaign passed, another player suffered a serious injury. Beth […]
Morning all. April is nearly done and hope our blip in what’s otherwise been a really good Premier League season, goes with it. Ordinarily, a point at Anfield would be a good result, but not this season, not when we were 2-0 up and cruising. The West Ham and Southampton games were the most disappointing, […]
Morning all. Pre City, Mikel Arteta said he believed his team could win but to do so would require perfection from his players: Then you have to deliver in the right moment the right performance, and it has to be perfection because that’s what this last level demands — absolute perfection in every single ball. […]
Morning all. Man City v Arsenal turned out to be men against boys. In every department on the pitch, they were superior and they exposed every weakness Mikel Arteta’s team had and with ease. Time and time again they just went through our midfield as if it wasn’t there. Guardiola has been at Man City […]
Morning all. Another day in the world of Arsenal and another game. A game we could do with winning but even a point would be a really good result. Is this the game which decides the title? Mikel Arteta: That game is going to be really important. But is it going to define the season? […]
Morning all. The managerial merry-go-round continues to move as Mauricio Pochettino appears to be on the verge of becoming Chelsea’s new boss whilst his old club have sacked their interim manager, Cristian Stellini after Totts were battered by Newcastle Utd on Sunday. I’m refraining from laughing too much over that result as we’re heading up […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love it when after a few ‘poor’ results, footballers decide to issue a rallying speech before the next game. This time around it’s the turn of Thomas Partey: I think everything depends on us – we have to go [to City] with the mentality to play football and plays we […]
