Morning all. It looks like Jack Wilshere could be on the move as Norwich are reported to have offered him a first team coach position. We all know he loves Arsenal but if he wants to test his coaching skills at a higher level then staying with our under 18’s isn’t really an option. Norwich’s […]

Morning all. Regardless of whether Jonas Eidevall resigned or was gently shoved out the door, Arsenal need a new manager for the women’s team. It seems the hefty loss to Bayern Munich followed by a home defeat to Chelsea was enough. In my opinion though, things started to go wrong last season when losses to […]
Morning all. Arsenal still have five players on international duty. Jakub Kiwior, Mikel Merino and David Raya as Poland face Croatia and Spain take on Serbia this evening and then in the early hours of tomorrow morning, both Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli could feature for Brazil as they take on Peru although the latter of […]
Morning all. In cricket, England’s tour of Pakistan started off with a history making test. Pakistan scored 556 runs in their first innings setting England a tough challenge. No problem though as eventually England declared with 823 runs on the board. Root with 262 and Brook 317. How they kept going for so long in […]
Morning all. Don’t you just Sunday football every now and again? Two bore draws played out, the first at Villa Park as the home team were held to a 0-0 draw against Man Utd and then Chelsea only managed to take a point from their home game against Nottingham Forest which ended 1-1. Forest played […]
Morning all. When the starting eleven was announced, I’m sure many of us were scratching our heads but, we moan when Mikel Arteta doesn’t rotate so we can’t really grumble when he does. Neither Ben White or Jurrien Timber were in the squad so Thomas Partey dropped back with Jorginho and Declan Rice in midfield. […]
Morning all. Arsenal welcome Southampton to The Emirates this afternoon with Aaron Ramsdale on board and I’m sure he’ll receive a very warm welcome. Our old keeper was one of 25 new signings for Southampton back in the summer. 25 players moved on too so it’s no wonder they’re still trying to make things work […]
Morning all. Ouch! That’s Maldini Kacurri challenging Raheem Sterling in training. No holding back eh but I’m sure no one was harmed whilst taking this photo. Lol Still no sign of Ben White in the training photographs, nor Oleksandr Zinchenko or Jurrien Timber. The pictures on Arsenal.com are from Thursday’s training session so there’s […]
Morning all. Wow! That was one heck of a performance from Mikel Arteta and his players. Professional too which sounds crazy considering it’s a professional game but it was. A first half with two goals and other opportunities to make it 3 or 4-0 and then when PSG upped their game a tad, defensively the […]
Morning all. Here’s a factoid for you from Alan ‘Smudger’ Smith ahead of our Champions League fixture against PSG this evening. Back in 1993/94, Arsenal played the same opposition in France in the Cup Winners Cup semi-final. Arsenal were 1-0 at half-time thanks to an Ian Wright header and during the break, the Pet Shop […]
Morning all. The lunchtime fixture saw Newcastle Utd and Man City draw 1-1. The evening game ended with Liverpool beating Wolves 2-1 thanks to a Salah penalty in the second half. Soft or what? I know highlights don’t tell the whole story of a game of football but listening to some of the commentary on […]
Morning all. Arsenal face Leicester City today and there’s a chance David Raya will miss out after picking up a thigh injury against Man City. We have to wait 24 hours to see if he’s looking good or not that good. It’s not about taking a risk, it’s about a player being fit and available […]
