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 […]
Morning all. Karim Bellarabi is making the headlines today and according to The Metro, Arsene Wenger wants to sign the German winger in the summer. A proper winger at last? Goodie! He’s 6′ tall and plays for Bayer Leverkusen. Emiliano Martinez has joined Rotherham United on an emergency loan until the end of the season which […]
Morning all. Happy birthday to Pat Rice and Lee Dixon. Pat is 66 years old today, Lee 51 – a mere whipper-snapper…. Last night Reading blew Bradford away with ease and next up for them is Arsenal in the semi-final at Wembley and they’ll want revenge for that 7-5 loss at the Mad Stad a couple […]
Morning all. The ‘sign the thing’ saga has started all over again with Theo Walcott as Arsene Wenger has confirmed contract talks are under away… The first contacts have been established with the embassy! We will see how that progresses politically. Walcott was difficult to convince (last time) and that’s why it took us much […]
Morning all. This fixture seems to have taken a long time to arrive. It’s a huge game with a trip to Wembley on offer. Arsene Wenger: It’s a big game, and every big win in a big game has an impact subconsciously in the belief of the team. Once you get to the quarter final […]
Morning all. There’s quite a number of players I dislike for their on-field antics and Joey Barton sits very high on my list. He’s always been a player who will try and stop teams from playing football and not always fairly so thank goodness that under tall, dirty little git is banned for our game tonight. In his place will […]
Morning all. There’s a spurious story doing the rounds which suggest Josh Kroenke, he’s the one without the wig, wants to sack Arsene Wenger and appoint Thierry Henry. Whilst the sacking of our manager kind of makes sense, replacing him with his good friend and footballing great, who is yet to get his coaching badges […]
