Morning all. This weekend’s football is off but I’m not sure it’s the right thing to do, especially when all other sport seems to be carrying on in one way or another. History tells us that the Queen didn’t stop working because of a bereavement, in fact she began her working life because of one. […]

Morning all. The news so many people probably never wanted to hear, came yesterday. The passing of the Queen is dreadfully sad news, but not even she could go on forever. A truly remarkable lady who will be missed. Football kind of feels insignificant this morning but life goes on for all of us as […]
Afternoon all. Graham Potter has taken Chelsea job. I can understand why he’d want to move to a club which will give him more money to spend on transfers etc but as we’ve seen in the past, what he’ll really need is what Chelsea don’t usually give and that’s time. Sounds obvious I know but […]
Morning all. European football for the 2022/23 season has kicked off. Man City breezed through their fixture but Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb. Aubameyang made his debut for the west London club which according to reports, didn’t go as well as perhaps he or Thomas Tuchel hoped. Not as well as […]
Morning all. Isn’t it frustrating to read that whilst the Arsenal first team are struggling to find the back of the net, Flo Balogun is scoring goals in France? Heck, even Nuno Tavares is scoring goals too. Apparently he’s been superb so far this season. Do I think Mikel Arteta should have kept either or […]
Morning all. What could and should have been a great game was once again ruined by dreadful officiating. Tierney had the opportunity to show he was a better referee than those who’ve been heavily criticised after the Saturday matches. The same applies to VAR. McTominay should have been booked after dangerously shoving Gabriel Martinelli in […]
Morning all. Old Trafford. A ground where regardless of which of the two clubs are in form, is hard to predict. Last season, a dreadful Utd team beat us 3-2 in this fixture but to this day I still don’t know how or why we left Manchester without at least a point. I know we […]
Morning all. Despite having one of the best transfer windows in years, I feel disappointed this morning. Arsenal tried to sign Douglas Luiz yesterday but Aston Villa kept rejecting the offers made. Having been linked with Youri Tielemans all summer, he didn’t arrive either. As the saying goes, it is what it is…. Deadline day […]
Morning all. I didn’t watch the game but by the sounds of it, the referee was awful. How is this not a penalty? 🤔 Not a penalty apparently pic.twitter.com/6dn4OrDiPI — DailyAFC (@DailyAFC) September 1, 2022 I read that we wasted a glut of goal scoring opportunities and Villa’s goal shouldn’t have stood. Martin Odegaard suffered […]
Morning all. Bukayo Saka on Arteta’s optimistic words on new contract: “I share his confidence. I really feel at home at Arsenal. I feel the love from my team-mates, from the coaches and from the fans”. ⚪️🔴⭐️ #AFC “The manager is always there for me”. pic.twitter.com/7AUqaKH1RP — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 30, 2022 Bukayo Saka’s […]
Morning all. Love this. Arsenal through and through. That’s @leahcwilliamson ❤️ pic.twitter.com/0roLHqkwrE — Arsenal Women (@ArsenalWFC) August 27, 2022 Didn’t you react in similar fashion when Gabriel scored? I was out of my chair and running around the sitting room in celebration. Seriously though, it was good to see the Arsenal women in the stadium […]
Morning all. Just six days to go until this summer transfer window closes. Mikel Arteta said in his press conference yesterday that Arsenal still have a plan to add another player or two to the squad now that Nicolas Pepe has left: If we can implement the plan that we have, we will try to […]
