Morning all. Last night’s 1-0 defeat of Shakhtar could have been more convincing had scoring opportunities not been spurned. Three corners in the opening minutes of the game, the best opportunity to convert one of them fell to Riccardo Calafiori but he got his shot wrong. Leandro Trossard was the next to spurn not one […]

Morning all. Another day, another game. A day to hopefully put the performance against Bournemouth behind us and show what we as a club and team are all about. The reaction to Saturday’s game has been extreme in my opinion, certainly in the media. For the last two seasons we’ve been very good, too good […]
Morning all. A funny old weekend of football really and not in a comedic kind of way. Man City scored in the last minute of added time to secure a win over Wolves and Liverpool defeated Chelsea. Both games had moments of controversy. Stones’ goal was disallowed on-field due to Bernardo Silva being in an […]
Morning all. What is there to say other than Arsenal were the authors of their downfall yesterday evening. A terrible ball played by Leandro Trossard was read by Evanilson and as he tried to take advantage, William Saliba pulled him back and over. After showing the Frenchman a yellow card, the referee was sent to […]
Morning all. I watched Mikel Arteta’s pre-match press conference yesterday and he seemed pretty upbeat. He looked like a man who’d just had two weeks holiday. Anyway, not only was he upbeat but the injury news he shared was positive too. On Bukayo Saka: It’s not a serious injury. He’s evolving really well. He’s done […]
Morning all. It looks like Jack Wilshere could be on the move as Norwich are reported to have offered him a first team coach position. We all know he loves Arsenal but if he wants to test his coaching skills at a higher level then staying with our under 18’s isn’t really an option. Norwich’s […]
Morning all. Regardless of whether Jonas Eidevall resigned or was gently shoved out the door, Arsenal need a new manager for the women’s team. It seems the hefty loss to Bayern Munich followed by a home defeat to Chelsea was enough. In my opinion though, things started to go wrong last season when losses to […]
Morning all. Arsenal still have five players on international duty. Jakub Kiwior, Mikel Merino and David Raya as Poland face Croatia and Spain take on Serbia this evening and then in the early hours of tomorrow morning, both Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli could feature for Brazil as they take on Peru although the latter of […]
Morning all. In cricket, England’s tour of Pakistan started off with a history making test. Pakistan scored 556 runs in their first innings setting England a tough challenge. No problem though as eventually England declared with 823 runs on the board. Root with 262 and Brook 317. How they kept going for so long in […]
Morning all. Don’t you just Sunday football every now and again? Two bore draws played out, the first at Villa Park as the home team were held to a 0-0 draw against Man Utd and then Chelsea only managed to take a point from their home game against Nottingham Forest which ended 1-1. Forest played […]
Morning all. When the starting eleven was announced, I’m sure many of us were scratching our heads but, we moan when Mikel Arteta doesn’t rotate so we can’t really grumble when he does. Neither Ben White or Jurrien Timber were in the squad so Thomas Partey dropped back with Jorginho and Declan Rice in midfield. […]
Morning all. Arsenal welcome Southampton to The Emirates this afternoon with Aaron Ramsdale on board and I’m sure he’ll receive a very warm welcome. Our old keeper was one of 25 new signings for Southampton back in the summer. 25 players moved on too so it’s no wonder they’re still trying to make things work […]
