Morning all. Arsenal climbed the table by a few places yesterday after beating Burnley at Turf Moor. A perfectly placed free kick from Martin Ødegaard was enough to seal all three points. I’d say that’s a great result, even if the performance was far from perfect. Aaron Ramsdale was excellent I thought. There’s just something […]

Morning all. Burnley’s Connor Roberts, Kevin Long and Dale Stephens miss today’s match through injury. Arsenal have Thomas Partey back fit but whether Mikel Arteta will risk him from the start against what’s expected to be a physical battle with Sean Dyche’s team remains to be seen. The last thing anyone needs is to see our […]
Morning all. Football managers do give us all a few giggles don’t they? Players too, I type, as Eric Cantona’s ‘seagulls, trawlers and sardines’ comment springs to mind. Arsene Wenger’s little battles with Mourinho, Fergie and anyone who cheesed the Frenchman off, were often the best, or worst depending on whichever way you look at […]
Morning all. I can only remember two Charlie’s playing for Arsenal, Charlie George and Charlie Nicholas. George was a character who went from watching his team from the stands to playing on the green green grass of Highbury. 1970-1971 was his season, or at least it was in my head. That FA Cup goal and […]
Morning all. The transfer window might be shut until the 1st January 2022, a day which will be here before we know it, it doesn’t stop the newspapers from speculating who will do what. Like Silva not staying in England when/if he leaves City which will frustrate Arsenal as they’re keen on signing him. I […]
Morning all. Not having an Arsenal midweek fixtures to look forward to feels weird but considering the international break consisted of three matches instead of the usual two, at least our players will get plenty of recovery time between domestic fixtures. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Sambi Lokonga, who Mikel Arteta said were struggling a bit against […]
Morning all. I’ve not seen the game, nor have I seen any highlights but I do know we won. Lol 30 shots on goal, 10 on target – whichever way you choose to look at those numbers, has to be an improvement. Of course we want to see more chances converted but hopefully that’ll come. […]
Morning all. Norwich and Arsenal have one thing in common, neither have a point registered on the League table. Ouch, that hurts! Norwich have been thumped twice, first by Man City and then Liverpool. Unlike Arsenal though, they have managed a goal. From the penalty spot against Leicester City. Norwich City also made a number […]
Morning all. ”We have a completely different squad with the number of changes that you just mentioned. You can tell that is unheard of. Now we have the tools that we believe are going to give us the best opportunity to compete in the way we want to compete and build what we want to […]
Morning all. I’m not referring to the song by Beverley Knight, as good as it is, I’m talking about football fans and right now, Arsenal fans in particular. Adam got me thinking with his article yesterday which included the amount of negativity there is around the club these days. Well, for quite a while really. […]
Morning all. One from Adam this morning. The International break brought some much-needed respite for Arsenal fans. The desperate zero point, zero goal start, the transfer window, the pressure on Mikel, the pantomime villains Stan and Josh, the Edu interview and last but not least, the rather odd yet intriguing rumour that Antonio Conte is […]
Morning all. If the sight of Thomas Partey pictures back in training doesn’t brighten your morning, I don’t know what will. Actually, I probably do. The news that Stan Kroenke had agreed to sell the club, or even that Mikel Arteta had decided it was best for the club if he moved on. Sadly, […]
