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 […]
Morning all. Watching Arsenal yesterday was kind of weird. There superb goals yet it all felt too little and certainly too late. Saka was excellent at left back, ESR likewise without Odegaard nicking his space and even Willian had a decent game, topped off with a super free kick. Just a shame it’s taken him […]
Morning all. Arsenal play West Brom this evening and I don’t know about your guys but I’ve got zero interest in the match. Of course I’ll watch it, even it’s just in hope that Mikel Arteta is already thinking about next season. I hope he’s looked at those who’ve let the club down, those who […]
Morning all. Last night wasn’t season over, not really, because in all honesty, Arsenal’s season never really got going in the first place. Performances and results have been hit and miss, one or two results haven’t been helped by shoddy officiating but mostly, we’ve either had a defensive nightmare moment or when it comes to […]
