Morning all. I don’t know if there are any Strictly Come Dancing fans out there but Big Tony Adams was shaking his stuff on the dance floor for the first time with his partner. He was lowered down onto the stage sat on a cannon whilst dressed in a red suit, white shirt and a […]

Morning all. With 15 year old Ethan Nwaneri having had his record breaking moment last weekend, it’s hard not to wonder who’s next. Perhaps no one again this season although I wouldn’t bet on it. If Mikel Arteta’s players can secure top spot in the Europa League Group before the final fixture or two, then […]
Morning all. Why in life do we look for problems when there are none? Why do we oft look for a negative instead of making the most of a good situation and why is it, the “what if” often looms large? The human brain is a complex thing but it’s always busy, perhaps wondering what’s […]
Morning all. The chatter about central defenders in the Premier League used to be about Virgil van Dijk, Harry Maguire, Jon Stones, Antonio Rudiger, Nathan Ake, the old boy Chelsea signed and even Tyrone Mings. The best of course, or at least the player most praised by pundits galore, has been VvD. The man mountain, […]
Morning all. It seems wrong to be writing about 22 men kicking a bag of air around on the day of the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, but life goes on. The now King Charles knows that, as do all of his family who’ve barely stopped for breath over the last few days. Pre […]
Morning all. Remember this? Of course you do, the sarcastic tweet from Ivan Toney after the opening fixture of last season. The comment was humiliating but that’s social media for you. Mikel Arteta used the comment to motivate his team in the return match at The Emirates, a match we won 2-1. Thomas Frank made […]
Morning all. Record crowds watched the Arsenal women beat their Brighton counterparts last night. 4-0 was the end result with Beth Mead continuing her Euro’s form by scoring two of the goals. Kim Little and Stina Blackstenius Scored the other two. An early red card for Brighton meant Arsenal had a pretty easy night in […]
Morning all. The club’s official website has announced the new date for the PSV Eindhoven fixture which will now be played on Thursday 20 October, kicking off at 6:00pm. All tickets purchased for the original date of this fixture remain valid, including tickets purchased via Ticket Exchange or received via Ticket Transfer. To accommodate the rescheduled PSV Eindhoven fixture, […]
Morning all. Our match on Thursday night has been postponed but Sunday’s game against Brentford will go ahead, albeit at midday instead of 2pm. I’m glad the Premier League along with both clubs have managed to sort this out because having to somehow fit three additional fixtures into an early busy season wouldn’t have been […]
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 […]
