Morning all. It would appear Steve Bould has been given the sack after a disappointing season for the under 23’s. There’s been no official announcement from the club as yet but if it’s true, perhaps Freddie will come back. Or perhaps Merts will will be keen on bringing an up and coming German coach into […]

Morning all. Sitting top on NewsNow this morning was a headline suggesting Arsenal are close to signing the ‘new Cristiano Ronaldo’ – and before you question my sanity, no, I didn’t feel the need to look further into the story. There is no new Ronaldo, or Messi, Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira etc etc etc because only […]
Morning all. When Unai Emery dropped Mesut Ozil, much criticism was directed his way. What was he thinking of leaving such a gifted footballer out of the team/squad. Along came Mikel Arteta and it wasn’t too long before he dropped Mesut Ozil from an even greater height by leaving him out of both Premier League […]
Morning all. Jeffrey Schlupp should have seen red for his potential leg breaking challenge on Callum Chambers. Christian Benteke should have seen red for slapping Elneny in a retaliation incident and Zaha should have been booked at least once for antics in the penalty area. Saka, who was thankfully offside, also made the most of […]
Morning all. Yesterday Mikel Arteta said in his press conference that the Arsenal players under contract will be at the club next season. A big fat white lie if ever I’ve heard one. What’s he supposed to say though? He’s certainly not going to tell the media that player x, y or z is leaving, […]
Morning all. Yesterday the football headlines relating to Arsenal were all about Sheffield Utd rejecting our opening offer for their midfielder Sander Berge. TransferMarket value him at around £17 million but according to a few NN headlines, the player has a ‘get out clause’ set at £35 million. Local newspaper Yorkshire Live reported yesterday that […]
Morning all. Ryan Bertrand is out of contract this summer and Arsenal are one of a number of clubs rumoured to be interested in signing him. Kieran Tierney, if fully fit and healthy, will always be Mikel Arteta’s first choice I’m sure. But, when/if he’s out injured, Arsenal don’t really have a proper replacement. Bukayo […]
Morning all. Not the best of FA Cup Finals I’ve ever watched but what a superb way for Leicester City to beat Chelsea. A wonderful strike by Youri Tielemans which Kepa had no chance of stopping. The goal wasn’t as good as the ‘It’s only Ray Parlour” or Freddie Ljungberg’s when we defeated Chelsea in the FA Cup […]
Morning all. It’s back. The cannon is back, loud and proud on the new kit Adidas have produced. It’s a shade of yellow but not quite the same as Bertie Mee’s Arsenal players wore back in 1970-71 when they won the double. That season’s FA Cup Final will always remembered for Big Charlie’s goal celebration. The […]
Morning all. ESR, excellent, Elneny, excellent, Arsenal’s defending – pretty darn good. You know what, I’d take that kind of performance each time we played the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool etc away from home if the outcome is the same as last night. Mikel Arteta and his players achieved something an Arsenal manager […]
Morning all. I’m not going to mention Balogun, Nelson or Azeez and their inclusion in tonight’s squad to play Chelsea because each time I do, their names never appear when the squad is named. Once Europa was done and dusted, I thought Mikel Arteta might use the remaining games to give different players a chance […]
Morning all. The next days, weeks and months will be about who leaves and who might arrive at Arsenal during the summer transfer window. Yes we have three fixtures to go but with very little to play for other than pride, I’d imagine interest levels will be low. Our last game of the season is […]
