Morning all. The FA Cup draw had kind of passed me by but we’ve been drawn against Nottingham Forest, the club which knocked us out of the competition back in 2018. The tie will take place over the weekend of the 7th-9th of January 2022. Having seen the way things are going in the League, […]

Morning all. Yes, Ben Godfrey should have been sent off for stamp on Takehiro Tomiyasu’s face alone but let’s not use that as excuse for being beaten. Everton had the ball in the net before we took the lead and after, but both were ruled offside, the second by the smallest of margins. Smallest of […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s women didn’t turn up at Wembley yesterday and were battered by Chelsea in what was last year’s FA Cup Final. 3-0 was the final score but it could so easily have been double that and by halftime. A bad day at the office that’s for sure. Arsenal take on Everton tonight and […]
Morning all. I love Thierry Henry for all he did for Arsenal football club. He’s probably one of the best players the Premier League has ever seen, the best Arsenal ever signed. But sometimes, I just wish he’d keep his opinions to himself because honestly, I think they can do more harm than good. Why […]
Morning all. What can Mikel Arteta and Edu do about our lack of goals when the transfer window opens in January? Sign a striker, that’s the simple answer but who? Newsnow headlines lead us down the Dominic Calvert-Lewin v Ollie Watkins path. Calvert-Lewin has more than three years left on his Everton contract, meaning Everton […]
Morning all. There are defeats which can be kind of accepted I think, or understood at least, but losing the game in the manner we did last night, really cheeses me off. To put it mildly! I thought we started really well, on the front foot and with it, put Man Utd under a lot […]
Morning all. Think of Old Trafford, think of Man Utd v Arsenal and immediately it’s easy to think it’s going to be a tough game. A game we’ll struggle to get something from. Yet, the BBC stats tell a different story. Head-to-head Manchester United could go seven Premier League games without beating Arsenal for the […]
Morning all. I was just a kid when Ray Kennedy arrived at Arsenal in 1968 but by the time he left us for Liverpool, he was certainly a name the world of football would never forget. A footballer both Arsenal and Liverpool fans would never forget. With Arsenal, he won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1970, and […]
Morning all. I don’t understand all the fuss being made about Ralf Rangnick’s arrival at Manchester Utd. Actually, he hasn’t arrived yet as he has Visa issues so won’t be in the dugout on Thursday night. VfB Stuttgart U19 – Under 19 Bundesliga: 1990–91 Ulm 1846 – Regionalliga Süd: 1997–98 VfB Stuttgart – UEFA Intertoto […]
Morning all. The results at the weekend certainly did us a favour. West Ham lost, Wolves drew and so did Man Utd. Chelsea must be kicking themselves for dropping two points, as for Utd, well, they just kicked out at the opposition. I think it’s safe to say that we can expect some similar treatment […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta made just one change to his starting eleven for the visit of Newcastle with Martin Odegaard coming in for Alex Lacazette. Despite the errors last weekend, both Nuno Tavares and Sambi Lokonga kept their place in the team. The first half was pretty slow. Newcastle were compact at the back while […]
Morning all. Both Joe Willock and Issac Hayden return to The Emirates today and I’m sure they’ll both receive a warm welcome. I hope Willock’s late runs into the box don’t catch us out. I think this lunchtime fixture against Newcastle Utd is big. They seem to have found a new attacking lease of life […]
