Morning all. The Premier League did the right thing yesterday by postponing today’s NLD. The Premier League released a statement saying: Following a request from Arsenal FC, the Premier League Board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the club’s away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at 4:30pm on Sunday 16 January. […]

Morning all. For the first time this season, Arsenal have submitted an official request to have a fixture postponed, a combination of Covid 19 cases and injuries believed to be the reason. Also for the first time this season, as far as I’ve read anyway, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville are strongly objecting with both […]
Morning all. I’m pretty sure that was the strongest team Mikel Arteta could field out their last night. Jurgen Klopp too. Clearly, both managers want to be at Wembley next month. Another big match and another red card for an Arsenal player. This time it was Granit Xhaka. Michael Oliver had only one thing […]
Morning all. Flo Balogun has gone for the remainder of the season. Chris Wilder, manager of Middlesbrough, had Sheffield Utd playing some of the best football the club has played in recent years, so hopefully he’ll work wonders with Flo. The Championship is a tough League and Middlesbrough are sitting just one place off the […]
Morning all. Rumours linking Arsenal to Dusan Vlahovic have been running for a while now, the latest being we’re pushing hard for a deal to be completed this month although the Daily Mail suggests it would set the club back £150m to do so. No, I’ve no idea where they got that figure from either. […]
Morning all. That was awful. Possibly the worst I’ve seen Arsenal play in ages. Worse than The Etihad, Anfield, Brentford, Everton and Old Trafford put together. If Mikel Arteta and his players wanted another good FA Cup run, they didn’t show it. From back to front, as a team we were toothless, unimaginative and outplayed. […]
Morning all. Yesterday’s FA Cup 3rd round threw up some interesting results. Newcastle Utd lost at home to Cambridge Utd, Burnley got beaten at home by Huddersfield Town and Reading were knocked out of the competition by Kidderminster! Both Everton and Southampton needed extra time to win their ties against lower division clubs. The best […]
Morning all. Arsenal have announced the players will be wearing an all white kit for tomorrow’s FA Cup fixture against Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta wore a white hooded top during yesterday’s pre-match press conference, clearly in support of the “No More Red” anti-knife crime campaign Arsenal are heavily involved in. Well obviously, we have been […]
Morning all. The Football League bottled making a big decision yesterday. Instead of telling Liverpool to use their Under 23 players to boost their squad numbers so our League Cup semi-final fixture could go ahead tonight, they took the easy option, or rather the best option for Liverpool, and postponed it. Arsenal ave now had […]
Morning all. Liverpool have asked the EFL to postpone our fixture against them tomorrow evening. However, there are rules which state that clubs must have less than 14 players available – including a goalkeeper – from their registered first-team squad. Players under the age of 21, who are not on their side’s first-team squad list, but […]
Morning all. I know a transfer window can produce silly headlines but the Bukayo Saka to Liverpool story is just stupid. Admittedly, Liverpool must be an attractive proposition for many players with Jurgen Klopp as their manager and the history associated with club but unless their American owners are ready to make Arsenal an offer […]
Morning all. Yet again, the officials are making the headlines instead of the game itself. This time it was Anthony Taylor who, after just seconds of the match being played, bottled making a big decision by booking Sadio Mane instead of sending him off. Six seconds, six minutes or sixty minutes, it matters not, if […]
