Morning all. When it comes to Arsene Wenger v Claudio Ranieri, the Frenchman often wins in the domestic challenge but back in 2004, it was the Italian who came out on top in the Champions League quarter-final when Wayne Bridge popped up late in the game to knock Arsenal out. That hurt didn’t it! That […]

Morning all. So the biggest news yesterday was the announcement by Man City. Pep Guardiola will be their new manager when the 2016/17 season kicks off. Yawn, most thought that would be the case anyway so no great surprise. At least now we know he’s not heading to Arsenal, not that that will please a […]
Morning all. Chelsea won the league with ease last season and when this fixture came around, Mourinho did what Mourinho does best, not get beaten and he didn’t. 0-0 was the final score in a game when Chelsea missed a couple of good chances, Fabregas got booked for diving and then as the game drew […]
Morning all. I think this fixture today is perhaps the biggest of the season so far. Arsenal and Arsene Wenger want to win the league, we fans want Arsenal to win the league but if there’s any chance of that happening, we really have to turn up at The Britannia Stadium, put in a solid […]
Morning all. Liverpool tonight, an 8pm kick-off with live coverage on BT Sport. Jurgen Klopp snapped up Steve Caulker on loan yesterday as his defensive injury woes continue. A panic signing or just a smart move? Caulker couldn’t get a game for Southampton whilst on loan from QPR, in fact I think I’m right in […]
Morning all. With January transfer rumours flying around just about as fast as media outlets can cook them up, we have a nonstop game of fact-or-fiction on our hands. That’s par for the course this time of year, but it appears there’s at least one Arsenal rumour we can basically confirm as true, though the […]
Morning all. I’ve go no idea what to expect from Arsenal today or Newcastle really apart from Steve McClaren hinting that the best way to stop Arsenal and in particular, Mesut Ozil, is by playing tough and we all know what happened when Southampton played in such a fashion. That’s half the problem with this Arsenal […]
Morning all Another Monday night fixture for Arsenal today. Tonight we face one of the newly promoted sides in Bournemouth, a club which has had its problems in the past. In fact they are in trouble again this season for overspending during the 2014/15 transfer window and could face a hefty fine. Regardless, the club […]
Morning all. When asked how much his side’s upturn in results since January 1st has changed his squad strengthening plans, Arsene Wenger replied: Massive changes. Massive. Because I believe that some players who were questioned, like Mesut Ozil, have made big improvements in the second part of the season and becomes slowly the leader you […]
Morning all. I do like reading Mark Lawrenson’s comments, especially as he’s had to change them all so often recently: Reading will try to make it difficult for them but even if Arsene Wenger’s side find themselves in a battle or under pressure, they are better at dealing with it than other Arsenal teams of […]
Morning all. Just one silly transfer story this morning. Arsenal ready to splash £40 million on Benfica forward Goncalo Guedes (O Jogo) He’s 18 years old! Arsene doesn’t sign kids for £40 million! No jetting around the world for the players this summers pre-season. Arsene clearly wants to look after the players and give them […]
Morning all. Our desire is just to continue to win. We have built a level of confidence and are conscious that if we do certain things well, then we can win games. – Arsène Wenger This is a big one. Win and we open up a nine point gap between us and 5th place, lose […]
