Morning all. It’s hard to believe that back in February 2008, Bournemouth were forced into administration, suffering a ten-point deduction. The club almost went out business and were relegated to Division Two. Eddie Howe stepped into management with the club and despite a lot of problems off the pitch, took the club […]

Morning all. As much as I love the Christmas decorations and putting them up pre the festive period, there’s something good about taking them down which I did at the weekend. No more dodgems with the vacuum or duster! But it’s about more than that for me, it’s about Spring being just around the corner […]
Morning all. The Christmas festivities over for another year, Arsenal get back to business with a home fixture against a Brighton team which has gone through a bit of a rough patch. To be fair, so have Arsenal as far as performances go. Thankfully though, we’ve somehow managed to grind out positive results at the […]
Morning all. Listening to Mikel Arteta giving an update on players fitness during his press conferences reminds me of when I very young. Each afternoon I’d come in from school, primary school I hasten to add, feeling peckish and I’d ask my mum or dad what was for tea and the reply I always […]
Morning all. There’s a full Premier League fixture list this week with last night kicking things off with Bournemouth losing at home to Everton, Newcastle Utd and Totts playing out a 2-2 and Fulham losing 4-5 against Manchester City. Tonight, Arsenal take on Brentford. Five other fixtures are taking place but the one which […]
Morning all. Another day, another game, although after today, the players have a bit of a breather as this weekend is FA Cup weekend. No rest though as Champions League football returns for Mikel Arteta’s team next Tuesday with an away fixture against PSV Eindhoven. After a dismal performance against West […]
Morning all. No sooner has Myles Lewis-Skelly donned an Arsenal shirt, the media want him playing for England. Talk about pushing him to run before he can walk eh. Have they forgotten what happened to Theo Walcott? To this day I believe being called up for his country at such a young age, […]
Morning all. What a surprise eh, we have drawn Man Utd in the FA Cup whereas the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Totts are drawn against lower league clubs. Not that I’m overly bothered about us playing United at The Emirates but I think it’ll mean Mikel Arteta is unlikely to rotate […]
Morning all. 250 Premier League fixtures up for Mikel Arteta today which is amazing really in this day and age when managers come and go at the first sign of trouble. Mikel Arteta has been through a lot since taking over from Unai Emery nearly five years ago, the biggest challenge being overhauling the […]
Morning all. So this is what it’s like playing in the Europa League, a Thursday evening fixture followed by one on Sunday. Well, that could be just around the corner for Arsenal if they don’t secure 2nd or 3rd spot and Liverpool win the Europa league. Fingers crossed they don’t eh, just because I don’t […]
Morning all. With Man City battering Chelsea yesterday, overtaking Arsenal into the automatic Champions League place and Man Utd beating a now relegated Aston Villa 1-0 on Saturday, it really is twitchy bum time for Arsene Wenger, Stan Kroenke and the rest of the Arsenal board. For one of the few times under Wenger, Arsenal […]
Morning all. I’m still in shock! Yaya Sanogo scored a hat-trick yesterday for Charlton. Thank goodness my local team Reading scored four. There’s no way I could have dealt with the stick from my family had his three goals won the game. Oh and don’t believe Micko when he say’s his Granny could score against […]
