Morning all. I know Thierry Henry’s comments about Arsenal will have been widely seen and read by now but too bad, here they are again. Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry stressed the importance of Arsenal’s ‘massive’ win at Wolves and now believes his old club are well set for a top four finish. The best thing […]

Morning all. Man Utd got back to winning ways last night with a 2-0 victory over Brighton who played much of the second half with ten men. I didn’t see the game but judging by the reports I’ve read, Utd were perhaps a tad fortunate as Brighton missed several good opportunities to score. Having watched […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love it when Arsenal not only capitalise on results which went before them and then the same two teams who’ve dropped points, go and drop more points? Oh yes! Utd could only draw at home to Southampton and Totts were battered at home by Wolves. Plus, Aston Villa were beaten […]
Morning all. As tempting as it is for me to ridicule Chelsea for celebrating their Club World Cup victory as if it was something special, I’d love to be waking up this morning knowing Arsenal’s name had been engraved on the trophy. Just to be taking part in the competition means so much to football […]
Morning all. Michael Oliver and VAR are once again the talking point. The sending off of Gabriel Martinelli seemed wrong in my opinion. How can a ref play an advantage, stop play for a further foul and then dish out two bookings to the same player? It’s probably written in the rules somewhere, but I […]
Morning all. The season kicks off again for Arsenal tonight but Mikel Arteta’s press conference was more about January. The transfer window, no signings and the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Calum Chambers too but of course, his story isn’t as interesting. Or as dramatic. Is the squad strong enough? We did what we believed was […]
Morning all. Gabriel Martinelli has been named Arsenal’s player of the month for the second time running having scooped 41% of the fans votes for January. He’s been really good. He’s a workaholic down our left side, he plays without fear and causes defenders all sorts of problems. The only time I can remember him […]
Morning all. This time of the season can often be a bit of a bore. Feelings of disappointment after a transfer window where more players left than arrived and even the two we have agreed deals for aren’t for the here and now. The two week winter break might be good for the players, but […]
Morning all. The FA Cup has thrown up a couple of surprise results already this weekend. Middlesbrough knocked out Man Utd on Friday evening and Norwich defeated Wolves at Molineux yesterday afternoon. Both Chelsea and West Ham needed extra time yesterday to win their ties against lower division clubs which is good as more they play, the better […]
Morning all. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is officially a Barcelona player. Reports suggest he’s taken a huge pay cut to get away from Arsenal. Well, he can afford to can’t he and if he was as unhappy, as his body language suggested, then as I’ve said before, it’s best for both him and Arsenal to part company. […]
Morning all. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has said his goodbye to the fans on Instagram. It reads. Not a mention of the backroom staff, including the current manager, or previous managers for that matter. I think it was right for him to leave, of that I have no doubt, but it’s a shame when any player departure […]
Morning all. Exhale! The January transfer window is finally closed. It was a quiet one for Arsenal as far as incoming transfers go but boy the club were busy showing players the way out. In: Auston Trusty – Colorado Rapids, undisclosed (starts on July 17) Matt Turner – New England Revolution. (Joins in the summer) […]
