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 […]
Morning all. Never is there a better time to beat Barcelona. That’s what Arsene Wenger believes but I’ve no idea why he thinks that. Suarez, Messi and Neymar alone is enough to suggest that Petr Cech and the back four are heading for a tough old time tonight. But what about if the boss plays it […]
Morning all. Good old Paul Merson, footballer turned pundit, well, he talks a lot for and on Sky Sports but I’m sure he means well. Just like football fans, he and the sports panel predict the outcome of the matches each weekend and to be honest, they’re not often very successful. Last weekend was probably […]
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 […]
