Morning all. Six changes were made last night. Fabianski, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Ozil, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gnabry, Podolski, Bendtner Substitutes: Viviano, Sagna, Monreal, Zelalem, Flamini, Cazorla, Giroud Podolski and Ozil have had their critics so far this season and yes, many will use the old cliche ‘it was only Coventry’ but I don’t buy that […]

Morning all. Well actually, Santi Cazorla was a four minute wonder yesterday. Two goals in the same amount of time made sure that we not only secured all three points but remain top of the Premier League as well. I haven’t been lucky enough to see the game, just a stream with adverts stuck in […]

Morning all. This was from former England striker Gary Lineker on Twitter last night He’s a delightful footballer is Jack Wilshere. Sublime finish followed by a terrific pass for Giroud. That must have been painful for him to write eh but seriously, how good was his finish last night? And yes, the pass to Giroud […]

Morning all. Yep, that’s what the newspapers say. Mario Balotelli could be in for a shock return to the PL with us and with Lukas Fabianski on his way out, Reading’s Alex McCarthy is reportedly being lined up to replace him… Anyway….. How good was that eh- just how good was that? So many players out […]

Morning all. We huffed and puffed our way to those three points didn’t we? But we got them in the end and that’s what matters. Cardiff came to do one thing and that was to defend and hope to catch us on the break but in all honesty, we hardly helped ourselves with the slow, […]

  Morning all. Tackles flying in at one point as were late clumsy ones too. A bit of bite and fury, a tame referee all topped off by a super free kick and a glancing header by Olivier Giroud. Soon after opening his account, Giroud should have made the game safe but he fluffed his […]

Morning all.. Well well, three points didn’t look likely at times did they, especially after Szczesny failed to hold onto a shot from Kevin Nolan, allowing Carlton Cole to make it 1-0 to the home side. Vast amounts of possession again but no ending, well not until Theo Walcott scored a goal out of nothing […]

Since Roman employed Jose to manage the Blues, Arsenal verses Chelsea has in recent years, become a contest epitomising the standard of our squad and our managers’ tactics. With the success Jose has had against Arsene, multiple Chelsea managers have deployed the same tactics to defeat our seemingly ‘predictable’ manager in recent years. However, talking […]

Morning all. The Daily Mirror report that we are hoping to sign Sami Khedira in the summer. He’s injured at the moment but with his contract heading into the final year after the summer, Real Madrid could be tempted to sell him. Khederia is a very good friend of Mesut Ozil and the 6′ 2″ midfielder […]

Morning all. The highlight of the first half was a glorious chance presented to Olivier Giroud which the keeper saved and the non stop fouling on our players.. Finally the referee had seen enough and booked a couple of the Napoli players, much to their disgruntlement…. Back to the Giroud chance, maybe had he looked […]

Morning all. Before anyone jumps down my throat suggesting that 1-1 was a fair result, maybe it was overall but…  With less than ten minutes to play and 1-0 up, we really should have been more mature and able to hold onto that lead for the rest of the game. We were slow to get […]
