Morning all. When Michael Oliver booked Hector Bellerin very early in the game, I thought, oh no, here we go again, the officials have it in for us. But to be honest, the tackle was a sign of a young man who was eager to win his war on the right hand side of defence […]

Morning all. ‘In the last 25 years I’ve always finished in the top three four and that consistency has given me belief and confidence to continuing to manage at the highest level. I’m as committed as I’ve ever been to deliver success to this team.’ – Arsene Wenger. Well we are heading in the right […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game, I seldom do when it’s a Saturday 3pm kick off but I managed to catch some highlights… How on earth did we win that match? Goodness only knows but lady luck sure was on our side and it was a good job too. Danny Welbeck was involved in […]
Morning all. We controlled the game from the first to the last minute. They had one chance at the end from a header, but overall I’m pleased with the way we attacked, the way we defended and with the way we played together with a good focus for 90 minutes. That’s basically it. – Arsène Wenger […]
Morning all. I am surprised they are bottom of league and they want to get rid of their manager. If they keep quiet, don’t panic and stick together, they will get out of that. They are one of better teams we’ve played. Leicester rolled up at The Emirates and dumped twelve players on the pitch but […]
Morning all. I’ve always had a lot of respect for Matt Le Tissier both as a footballer and pundit but yesterday, I was quite surprised about something he said. Disappointed too. When talking about the stunning finish by Hector Bellerin he said that the strike was something you’d expect from 20 goal a season striker, […]
Morning all. Prior to yesterdays game, one or two players from the Brighton camp, hoped Arsene Wenger would field a strong side. They wanted to be really tested and as well, they wanted their fans to see the best on show. And to a degree, that’s what they got, certainly by the end. But with that […]
Morning all. Little bit of gossip in the papers: Argentinia defender Nicolas Otamendi,who can play right-back and centre-half is being monitored by Arsene Wenger according to The Mirror and the same paper write that Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista has insisted Arsenal are trying to sign him – and says it would be “excellent” to move to […]
Morning all. There are not many times when I read the newspaper and think ‘at last, he/she saw what we all did’ but clearly, Neil Ashton in the Mail Online did: Mark Hughes and his team were agricultural in their approach, looking for a fight at every opportunity. What they got in return was a […]
Morning all. That was a bit of a mixed bag wasn’t it. Moments of sheer magic going forward, great passing, great movement but the finish didn’t match the build up. Joel Campbell had a super chance and only a lucky boot from Harper prevented him from giving us an early lead. I thought Joel was […]
Morning all. Tired of it? Me too. Just when Atkinson awards us a penalty, I thought that finally we in for a game where the referee has a good performance. Err, no yellow card for Traore? Up stepped Alexis to pass the ball to Green.. Oh well, that turned out to be one of very […]
Morning all. It’s nearly Christmas and I like everyone else, have a lot to do before Santa come a calling, talking of which I need to get the chimney swept and go visiting…. Going to Anfield after what happened last season was bound to be a tricky affair and it’s one which perhaps many Arsenal […]
