Morning all. I’ve just read an article, a really bad one by the way, which tried to compare Graham Potter’s start at Chelsea with that of Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. I’ve no idea why the two are being compared in the first place because there literally is no comparison in my opinion. Other than they’re […]

Morning all. Captain for the day, Oleksandr Zinchenko led his team out at The King Power Stadium. A team which saw Eddie Nketiah rested. I was surprised to see him on the bench, purely because he’s the only out and out striker Mikel Arteta has available right now but Leandro Trossard is a versatile player, […]
Morning all. So much for my prediction of Arsenal being drawn against Juventus in the Europa League eh. Sporting Lisbon came out of the pot and as you and I know, Portuguese clubs are hard to beat but let’s worry about that another day. Today is all about getting three points at the King […]
Morning all. Finally, the Europa League Cup Draw is here as today we find out who our next opponents are. 16 clubs are left in the competition but none of the below will be drawn against each other after finishing top of their respective groups. Arsenal Real Betis Fenerbahce Ferencvaros Feyenoord Freiburg Real Sociedad […]
Morning all. There’s seldom much Arsenal news at this time of the year, even less so this time around because we’re out of the domestic cups, sitting top of the League and Europa League football still a few weeks away. I’m sure we all wish we could have beaten Everton at Goodison Park and had […]
Morning all. What a game of football Aston Villa and Arsenal dished up. It really did have everything. A Hollywood actor in the stands, handbags on the pitch, hefty challenges, four fantastic goals and two more late in the second half which were comical. The time wasting efforts of Emi Martinez bit him on the […]
Morning all. Lee Mason has paid the ultimate price for his massive error in last weekends fixture between Arsenal and Brentford. Left by mutual consent is the way this news has been reported but I don’t buy it, he’s been sacked in my opinion. Rightly so too if I’m right. Man Utd have received two […]
Morning all. Most clubs have a bogey team don’t they? After all, how many years did it take England to finally beat Germany? In European football, ask Pep Guardiola about his record against Lyon, Jurgen Klopp about Sevilla or the once Man Utd manager Ralf Rangnick about Bayern Munich Tomas Tuchel about Borussia Dortmund. David […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta made a couple of changes last night. One forced through the absence of Thomas Partey which meant Jorginho made his first start since arriving in January and Takehiro Tomiyasu came in for Ben White. The Arsenal fans were fantastic again but I think their throwing of water bottles at Kevin de […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta held his pre-match press conference yesterday in which he said he’d “only be satisfied” if Arsenal are given the two points Lee Mason deprived his team of on Saturday. We already know the PGMOL has apologised to Arsenal after Mason failed to do his job but as said a couple of days […]
Morning all. The ‘same old Arsenal, always moaning’ has taken a turn. Sky Sports has moved on from Dermot’s ref watch, a joke in itself with the Chelsea supporting pundit giggling his way through it each morning, to a proper headline and feature about VAR and Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s team aren’t the only victims from […]
Morning all. I haven’t seen the full game so can’t comment about how Arsenal played yesterday but I have seen highlights including Brentford’s goal which should never have been allowed. This photo is when the free kick is delivered. This is the second phase when Norgaard appeared offside too before crossing the ball for Toney […]
