Morning all. That had to be one of the worst, if not the worst Manchester United sides we have ever faced under Arsene Wenger yet the best we could manage was a 0-0 draw. If we turn out like we did last night for many more fixtures, we’ll be right back scrabbling for a top […]

Morning all. OUCH! That was painful and embarrassing! Let’s not try and find an excuse for yesterday – face facts, we were awful and that performance cannot just be written off as a bad day at the office. Nor can it be compared to the dreadful result we suffered at Old Trafford just a season or […]
Morning all. Tony Pulis, always the man to lead his side out with one thing in mind. Foul, defend, foul again and defend… I was quite shocked to see him line up against us with two strikers up front, the rest of his tactics were so predictable though. Mind you, so were ours. We played the […]
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 […]
