Morning all. It’s official, Arsenal will be top of the League on Christmas Day. We knew that before the match against Wolves kicked off though because Brentford had beaten Man City 2-1 at The Etihad. Just to make sure though, Mikel Arteta’s men beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 in the Black Country. Was it a good […]

Morning all. What’s on offer today? Three points and an opportunity to be top of the League on the only day of the year when Father Christmas goes to work. There’s no denying it, Mikel Arteta and his young squad have got people talking about whether or not we are serious title contenders. All the […]
Morning all. Losing is never nice but if there’s one competition I personally didn’t give a hoot about at the beginning of the season, it’s the League Cup. A trophy is nice but this particular one doesn’t even reward the winners with a place in the Europa Cup, not unless the Conference version counts but […]
Morning all. Arsenal kick off the 2022/23 League Cup campaign against Brighton tonight at The Emirates. This is Brighton’s second fixture of the competition, beating Forest Green Rovers 3-0 in the last round. I wondered if this would be the competition in which Mikel Arteta might rest more players than he has in the Europa Cup […]
Morning all. Of all the things going on in football, Mikel Arteta going on a walk about seems to be a big problem for Richard Keys. What a plonker, but then he did suggest when we win, we’re lucky but when Man City needed a penalty which really never should have been given, it’s the […]
Morning all. One minute into extra time and a Chelsea player finally showed a bit of passion. Chalobah didn’t like Granit Xhaka preventing him from giving the ball back to Mendy. Chelsea were 1-0 down and perhaps thought that in the four minutes remaining, they could do what they hadn’t managed to do in the […]
Morning all. Two of the biggest decisions Mikel Arteta has had to make since becoming Arsenal manager has in my option, involved Mesut Ozil and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. One hasn’t really done much since leaving Arsenal, the other has found himself back in the Premier League with Chelsea after a short stint at Barcelona. With Arsenal […]
Morning all. I’m not making excuses for the disappointing performance from Arsenal last night but there must have been a few nerves in the players. This group is still young and other than Gabriel Jesus, I don’t think any of our starting eleven have much experience in winning the fixtures which really matter. The game […]
Morning all. I’m very happy at Arsenal. I said it many times. This is my club. I love to be here, I love the city, the club, everything about Arsenal. I want to stay. I’m very happy. ‘They just need a pen.’ When I knew that Arsenal wanted to buy me… it was one of […]
Morning all. How can one not love an ex player when he comes out with something like this? I have great affection for Arsenal and great memories from my time there, and beating Spurs, every time it was very special. These are memories I hold close to my heart and cherish. That’s Alexis Sanchez, one […]
Morning all. That’s how to get over a defeat! A 5-0 spanking of Nottingham Forest in front of the home fans. Fatigue? You’re having a laugh – well, the boys certainly didn’t look tired from the highlights I watched. Nottingham Forest might be one of the favourites to be relegated this season, at this moment […]
Morning all. Well who’d have thought that on his return to Brighton, Graham Potter and his Chelsea team would get spanked 4-1. If that was a shock, how about Leeds beating Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield? Totts went 2-0 down before a second half revival saw them come back to win 3-2. Top four chasers Newcastle […]
