Morning all. The painful conclusion to that chaotic game in Birmingham last weekend opened up all those old nagging concerns we have as Arsenal supporters, brought about by three years of heartbreaking near misses. On top of that, of course, fanning the flames was the usual suspects on line laughing at our expense, but […]

Morning all. The last few days had drawn most of the attention away from yesterday’s clash at the noisy neighbours in Fulham Broadway. The demolition of Tottenham last weekend and the welcome blitz of Bayern in midweek had left us all on cloud nine. But, we knew it was only two thirds of the […]
Morning all. Liverpool’s draw at Villa Park in the week gave us a little piece of hope, then West Ham turned up at The Emirates and killed that hope dead through Bowen. Why do Arsenal do it to themselves? Last season it was against West Ham and Aston Villa at home that […]
Morning all. I felt a tad disappointed when the squad was announced yesterday morning as I’d hoped to see more academy players on the bench than just Nathan Butler-Oyedeji but Mikel Arteta opted for players with experience over what position they played. I think we all expected the front three to be as […]
Morning all. What a great Sunday it was for Arsenal football club. It started at lunchtime when thanks to goals from Mariona Caldenty, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius, Arsenal’s women beat Man City 4-3 at The Etihad. Two of City’s three goals came from the penalty spot, […]
Morning all. I had a choice. The Great British Bake Off Final, or Sporting Lisbon v Arsenal. It was a tough decision to make but earplugs in and iPad in hand, Arsenal just edged it. Unlike the actual game of course which Mikel Arteta’s players bossed with consummate ease! The occasion reminded me a […]
Morning all. It’s taken a while but yesterday it finally arrived. A top performance all round against Everton, it really was. From Ospina through the team to Welbeck who led the line, every single player performed. Arsenal were quick with their passing and didn’t give the Everton players time on the ball forcing mistakes from the […]
Morning all. What a frustrating match that was, yet so typical of Arsenal. Something like 90% possession, 5000 attempts on goal with just a few on target and those were saved by a goalkeeper who had the game of his life. Same old passing in and around the box when in plenty of space to […]
Morning all. What a game that was. It had pretty much everything from a good penalty shout from Arsenal turned down, a dubious one given to Leicester and a few strong challenges passing by Martin Atkinson as usual. Two cracking goals in the second half, with one right at the death… An early foul by Danny […]
Morning all. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has to be up there with one of the most frustrating Arsenal players right now. Scorer of our second goal and a very good one it was too, he just doesn’t do enough to help the team. He seldom tracks back, when he does is half-hearted and all too often he loses possession. […]
Morning all. January has been awful for high profile deaths hasn’t it and yet again this morning, Cancer has taken one of Britain’s most favourites, Sir Terry Wogan.. RIP big man, you’ll be dreadfully missed… I didn’t see the game yesterday and only caught the highlights on Match of The Day which to be fair, […]
Morning all. Relying of a few highlights and a stream which when the rain fell and the wind blew, dropped out is tough. Even so, I saw enough to know that once again Martin Atkinson was nothing short of useless and how he is considered good enough to be officiating at the Euros in the […]
