Morning all. Apparently, Rio Ferdinand has been to London Conley for a day out. He chatted with staff, players, coaches of the academy, and the big man himself. Per Mertesacker. What about I’ve no idea but he liked what he saw. Impressive I think he said, as everyone at the club is on the same […]

Morning all. We are in entertainment, The ground work is to win, but that is not enough. You need the ambition to give more. To go deeper into what the game can give people. To get something more than just the individual expression of the player, but the collective expression of the team: to transform it […]
Morning all. I don’t like learning like that, but there’s a lot of learning that we can take from the game for sure. One of the biggest learnings after a disappointing result is focus tomorrow on the next one. Don’t get carried away with what happened in the past because we have to look to […]
Morning all. I think trips to places like Anfield highlight many things and not just that there’s still a long way to go before Arsenal can truly compete for the Premier League title again. If we ever do of course. The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City are way ahead of us as far as […]
Morning all. There’s a ghastly 48 hour bug going around where I live, one which decided to say hello to me on Thursday night. Anyway, I dragged myself out of bed to watch Arsenal take on Liverpool. Trouble is, I could barely keep my eyes open but I’m not sure whether or not that was […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love the early rounds in the FA Cup? It’s hard to believe that Bolton, a Premier League club not that long ago, surrendered a two goal lead against non-league Stockport County last night. Twice! 2-0 up, then 3-1 up before the home team managed to take the tie into extra […]
Morning all. Do four goals against the lowest ranked country in world football deserve such gushing over? Two of which were penalties I hasten to add. The way the British media are reacting to England’s 10-0 thrashing of San Marino is ridiculous in my opinion. Of course it was good to secure the victory needed […]
Morning all, I watched An Audience With David Dein and Arsene Wenger last night. Not much cropped up that most of us didn’t know already but it was good. Good to see both ex Arsenal men relaxed and sharing some funny moments. It became clear that Arsene Wenger believed Fergie was favoured by the […]
Morning all. The Arsenal women came close to ending their unbeaten run in the WSL yesterday afternoon. It simply didn’t look like being their day against north London rivals Toots. Chances came and went, certainly in the first half but the woodwork the Toots keeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela, prevented Arsenal from scoring. Had it not been […]
Morning all. Emile Smith Rowe made his senior England debut last night. By the time Gareth Southgate called him off the bench, the game was pretty much over as far as the scoreline goes. Still, he’s probably feeling like a million dollars this morning. Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale weren’t called on which is good […]
Morning all. Arsène Wenger Arsenal’s legacy is well known worldwide. His work at the club, from 1996 onwards, changed Arsenal forever and shook the foundations of English football. Despite the fact his departure from the club was divisive, it is undeniable the Frenchman was responsible for broadening the vision of English football. As a result, […]
Morning all. PSG player Aminata Diallo was was arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of being involved in a nasty attack of one of her team-mates, Kheira Hamraoui. Diallo, 26, has has been at the club for five years, while fellow France international Hamraoui, 31, joined from Barcelona in July. The story goes that Daillo was/is […]
