Morning all. Oxford Utd, a club whose ground still has part of its stadium missing. A club which pre Christmas, held Sheffield Wednesday to a draw away from home. On Saturday, Sheffield Wednesday dumped Newcastle Utd out of the FA Cup. Means little I know but that’s the joy of the FA Cup, it can […]
Hi guys. Just thought I’d refresh the site with a bit of transfer gossip. Danilo, no, not that one, the young Brazilian who plays for Palmeiras. The very same player who Arsenal allegedly made an offer for last summer but were turned down. According to Goal.com that is. Two other clubs are interested, Atletico Madrid […]
Morning guys. 51 minutes! That, according to reports in the Daily Mail, is how long the ball was actually in play during the Arsenal v Newcastle Utd match. Just over one half of game which is daylight robbery for football fans who pay to watch, a rip off too for fans who can’t get to […]
Morning all. Newcastle Utd turned up at The Emirates with one thing in mind in my opinion. To rotationally foul our players, waste time, feign injury and get a point. Fine, if they want to play that way it’s their prerogative but, let’s have a group of officials who approach the game with one set […]
Morning all. I know we often hear Mikel Arteta say how important the fans are and he’s right of course because any stadium is a horrid place for footballers and the manager to be when fans don’t believe in what they’re seeing. Arsenal fans had years of being frustrated, angry even, because on the pitch, […]
Morning all. 2023 started nearly as well for Arsenal as 2022 ended.Tottenham dropped three points at home against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa and the Chelsea surrendered a 1-0 lead to draw against Nottingham Forest. Conte went straight into moaning mode after his side lost: To become title contenders, to become a team ready to fight […]
Morning all. Arsenal and the south coast of England have not made good bedfellows of late. St Mary’s in Hampshire and Brighton in Sussex. With Arsenal heading to the Amex Stadium on New Year’s Eve, I feared we as a club would end the year with a negative result. Other than Oleksandr Zinchenko coming […]
Morning all. It’s game day. Brighton v Arsenal at 5-30pm. Pre match chat from the manager: Defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is fit and could feature tonight having returned to training, Arteta confirmed: “He is getting closer and closer so he’s available.” Midfielder Emile Smith Rowe is not quite ready for action, but has made “big steps”, Arteta […]
Morning all. William Saliba has received four yellow cards so far this season so if he picks up another he’ll be banned for one game. The golden reset fixture is number 19 so with Arsenal having only played 15 fixtures so far, he’s got to try and play through four more matches without a picking […]
Morning all. Arsenal title contenders? 100% said Declan Rice after the game on Monday night. They are a top team you can see they are coached incredibly well, have a lot of attacking talent, a young squad and they can go the whole way for sure. Rice was in my opinion, West Ham’s best player. […]
Morning all. Well that was a pretty good way to kick start the second half of the season. I say second half but this campaign is far from halfway through. Arsene Wenger finally made his return to The Emirates Stadium to watch a Mikel Arteta team turn on the style. The game itself had pretty […]
