Morning all. Arsenal take on West Ham tonight in the League Cup and yesterday, Mikel Arteta delivered an honest press conference. He admitted to bringing Gabriel Jesus back too soon after his previous injury and this time, there’ll be no repeat. In turn, this is likely to mean an extended run for Eddie Nketiah in […]

Morning all. Man Utd are in a bad way and pretty much have been since Alex Ferguson left. Even during his final season, despite winning the Premier League title, a decline looked imminent. They’ve switched managers, spent lots of money but Utd just aren’t what they used to be. We know how that feels and […]
Morning all. No GabrielJesus, no Martin Odegaard and no Gabriel. Instead, in came Jakub Kiwior, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah. 28, 50 & 58 minutes, the times of Eddie Nketiah’s goals. Added to them, a penalty from Fabio Vieira and lastly, Arsenal’s 5th came from Takehiro Tomiyasu. In the absence of Martin Odegaard, […]
Morning all. Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus are set for a spell on the sidelines which is rotten news. On Jesus: The scan shows that there is a muscle injury and we might lose him for a few weeks again. With Gabby I cannot give you any timeframe because he always surprises us, but there […]
Morning all. As said yesterday, we’re half way through our Champions League Group stage and despite the slip up against Lens, we’re sitting top of the table. Our next three fixtures are Sevilla and Lens at The Emirates before playing PSV away. I think we’re in a really good position to progress through to the […]
Morning all. An emotional night for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal I’d imagine. Earlier in the day, news broke that Bill Kenwright had passed away, an Everton man through and through who Arteta knew so well. Plus of course, we were playing Sevilla, the club from which Arsenal signed Jose Antonio Reyes. A wonderfully gifted footballer […]
Morning all. Another day, another Champions League fixture is upon us as we take on Sevilla. Of course it’ll be a tough game but nevertheless, is it time for Emile Smith Rowe, the player who wears number 10 on his back, to be given a start in that very position? He oozes talent, we know […]
Morning all. 2-0 down at Stamford Bridge with 75 minutes on the clock to then fight back for a point is something to admire I think. Two super “no fuss” goals earned us the point. A keeping error from Sanchez saw his clearance land at the feet of Declan Rice. He was miles out but […]
Morning all. Ben White: I want to stay at Arsenal for as long as I can and push this club back to where it needs to be. My wife is from around here, so it’s ideal for her, and it’s just an amazing club to come into every day. I think I can take […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta’s hair has often been commented on here on HH. Not out of nastiness but because it’s always “just so”. Ironic that a man who seeks perfection in football, pretty much has the perfect hair. In fact everything about him whiffs on being the best he can be which can only […]
Morning all. Finally, and thankfully, this month’s international break is over and it’s back to domestic football this weekend. When we, Arsenal, play Chelsea, I often think back to that rainy day many years ago now. The match was at Stamford Bridge on the 23rd October back in1999. The player, Nwankwo Kanu. Chelsea were 2-0 […]
Morning all. David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale have more than just playing for Arsenal in common as both are vying for the number one spot for their respective countries. Ramsdale sits behind Jordan Pickford, Raya, Unai Simon. Others are in the mix too, like Kepa for Spain but ultimately, dislodging the keeper who regularly starts […]
