Morning all. The news of Diego Maradona passing away yesterday after suffering a heart attack didn’t really come as a surprise to me. His struggles with life had been made public over recent years but nevertheless, it’s still sad that one of footballs greatest players has shuffled off of this world. At least he’s at […]

Morning all. Molde, that’s what’s next for Mikel Arteta and his players. For Pepe, it’s an opportunity to redeem himself after the weekend. He’s bound to start in this match bearing in mind he’s banned for three League fixtures. He actually scored against tomorrow’s opposition in the home tie and a good goal it […]
Morning all. Leeds were good. Let’s not lose sight of that. They play football in a way I wish Arsenal could, albeit with our defence instead of theirs. They move at speed, their passing is quick and they use their wide men well. But we knew all of that long before yesterday’s fixture arrived. […]
Morning all. Leeds United have Kalvin Phillips back in the squad. I type that as if I know who he is but I don’t. Nor Rodrigo who could return after getting over Covid-19. Pablo Hernandez, Jamie Shackleton and Diego Llorente are all injured. Arsenal are without Sead Kolasinac and Mohamed Elneny after their positive coronavirus tests […]
Morning all. The media we’re on the Willian, Ceballos and Luiz incidents in a flash. No surprise because it’s there job to drag up dirt and write about it for a few days. Because it’s Arsenal, I expect it’s extra satisfying to have two stories hand to them on a plate. The Athletic were fed […]
Morning all. Here’s another extract from The Athletic. It relates to the Kroenke family and Arsenal. The article itself is much longer and interesting but I’m afraid you’ll have to sign up to the newspaper to read it all. I don’t want my subscription cancelled or a telling off. (Contributing writers: James McNicholas, David Ornstein […]
Morning all. Rumours are rife that Arsenal will sign 18-year-old Omar Rekik in January. Apparently the club tried to bring him to north London during the summer but a deal didn’t materialise. According to Football London’s Chris Wheatley, Arsenal and Hertha Berlin thrashed a deal out on Monday and he’ll be an Arsenal player when the […]
Morning all. England take on Iceland tonight at Wembley. A dead rubber I think after Gareth Southgate’s team were defeated by Belgium in their last match. I’m not even sure what this Nations League is all about and to quite honest, I’m not that interested either. England are only worth watching when one of our […]
Morning all. Who better to ask if things are good at Arsenal since Mikel Arteta arrived than Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang? Arsenal are on their third manager since he joined the club, four if one counts Freddie’s short spell. Despite the struggles all four might have suffered, one thing remained the same, Aubameyang scored goals. Does […]
Morning all. I didn’t know this about Arsenal. We became the UK’s first football club to install large-scale battery energy storage in 2018. The battery storage system can power Emirates Stadium for an entire match, or the equivalent of 2,700 homes for two hours . Since 1999, more than 29,000 trees have been planted at our […]
Morning all. It’s fair to say that we could talk about Arsenal and the Villa blip, at least I hope it’s a blip, until the cows come home but it’ll get us nowhere. We can guess what’s going on with certain players, the board and even the owner but the reality is, it’s just a […]
Morning all. International breaks are boring. Even though Arsenal seem to have a few problems, i miss watching them. No doubt like the rest of Arsenal fans, I’m desperate to Mikel Arteta rectify whatever it is preventing Arsenal playing much better than they have been, especially at The Emirates where we’ve lost twice. Leicester City […]
