Morning all. Premier League clubs had to submit their 25 man squad details to he FA by 2pm yesterday. Having left Mesut Ozil and Sokratis of his Europa League squad, Mikel Arteta followed suit on the domestic front. Perhaps a cruel way to pretty much end a players career but both must have known the […]

Morning all. What an odd weekend of football in the Premier League. Our match was pretty disappointing and not just because we lost but because we could and should have come away with at least a point. After the game, Bernd Leno said the gap between the two teams was smaller which I agree with […]
Morning all. This might sound negative but Arsenal’s attacking play is little short of bad. The lack of creativity, pace, movement, swift passing is as clear as day. I don’t just mean against Man City, but in general. It’s been that way since long before Arsene Wenger left and I mean a prolonged period of […]
Morning all. I was hoping that this would be a game which wouldn’t leave us talking about errors made by the officials. A penalty missed when Walker booted Gabriel in the head, not even reviewed by VAR, a Mahrez booking for tugging an Arsenal player back when we tried a quick break away and Aguero, […]
Morning all. I watched the below interview on Sky Sports this morning and I’m glad I did. It’s true, Mikel could have played for England, he wanted to play for England. He wanted to give something back to the country which had given him the opportunity to be the man he is today. He plays […]
Morning all. Sports around the world continue to deal with the issues around the coronavirus pandemic. Mikel Arteta still hopes to have Kieran Tierney in his squad for tomorrow evening’s fixture. In his pre-match press conference he said that discussions with the authorities were still going on and hopefully the outcome will favour Arsenal. Sead […]
Morning all. Eddie Nketiah had a mixed night for the England under 21’s. No doubt desperate to overtake Alan Shearer’s goal tally, he fluffed a golden opportunity from the penalty spot. However, on 88 minutes he got his goal. Good on him. The more confidence he builds within, the better it is, not just for […]
Morning all. I’m feeling very well, I’m regaining confidence and I can feel my knee is better. After an injury like this you are kind of scared to force the knee again but the past couple of weeks it has been fine and soon I can start training with the ball. I think we […]
Morning all. Bergkamp and Wright, Bergkamp and Henry. Bergkamp and anyone really. Vieira and Petit, Gilberto, Parlour or Edu and Adams with Bould or Keown more often than not, excelled. Campbell and Toure were a special pairing too, one with speed, the other with everything. In my opinion, Sol Campbell was Arsene Wenger’s best ever signing […]
Morning all. When the first Pay Per View match involving Arsenal comes along, will you pay £14.95 to watch on your big screen? That’s a question I’m struggling to answer and have done since the Premier League announced this new scheme. Of course I want to watch the team but, as well as paying for […]
Morning all. It was never going to take a rocket scientist or footballing genius to work out who was likely to be left out of our Europa League squad. Of course, it was two players who for whatever reason, has not played much under Mikel Arteta. Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mesut Ozil. William Saliba has missed out […]
Morning all. The signs are worrying. Kieran Tierney has already gone into a 14 day isolation and now, the Arsenal Academy has had to be shut down according to a report in The Athletic which quotes an Arsenal spokesperson as saying: We can confirm that a member of staff from our Hale End Academy has tested […]
