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 […]
Morning all. According to The Daily Mail, Aaron Ramsey has been watched by Barcelona. Scouts have been to our last four games and Wales’s matches with Belgium and Macedonia. Mmm, well they can push right off! I only caught the highlights so the details of our match are brief…… Arsene Wenger made five changes to […]
Morning all. When Jack Wilshere fired home our first with just 30 seconds on the clock, the fastest goal by an Englishman in Champions League history, I truly thought we were in for a treat. A feast of goals would surely follow as Marseille rested a few of their ‘better’ players but no. Not for the want […]
Morning all. Panto arrived early yesterday afternoon and didn’t we all love it? Is there a player more deserving of his two goals than Olivier Giroud right now? Since the beginning of the season he’s held the front line on his own, yet sometimes it’s others who chip in with the goals but yesterday, the […]
Morning all. Flag after flag, clearance after clearance, attack after attack but nothing came of anything Dortmund threw at us. Ok, slight exaggeration re the attack after attack, but they had a few. How many times did our defence work as a unit to leave players offside? They were immense. Yes we had a couple […]
Morning all. So where was Hanson last night on Match of The Day?? After all his knocking of us this season, did he not want to discuss the way we totally breezed past his beloved Liverpool?? I’m going to start with the bad points… Ok, onto the game! What a game is was too and […]
Morning all. So we still can’t beat Chelsea and Arsene Wenger still can’t get the better of Jose Mourinho. Of course the howler committed by Carl Jenkinson/Jack Wilshere didn’t help matters – why didn’t one of them hoof that ball into row z. Did neither player watch and learn from the Ramsey gaff against Dortmund? […]
Morning all. Arsenal teenager Jack Jebb has been banned for four games for racially abusing an opponent during a Premier League Under-18 clash with Norwich in March. There was no complaint from any player, this incident was reported to the FA by the match officials. I am sure someone at the club will read him […]
Morning all. According to reports this morning in the Daily Star, Arsene Wenger is still on the trail of Bayer Leverkusen’s Lars Bender and a £20 million bid is being planned for January. The Daily Mirror report that Per Mertesacker is set to be offered a three year contract extension. Deserved I’d say on the last […]
Morning all. Let’s get the gossip out of the way. The Metro claim we have opened talks to sign Olympique Lyon’s French international Maxime Gonalons. He’s 23 years old and believed to be the player who will finally replace both Song and Diaby. Iker Casillas is back in the headlines for a summer move to […]
Morning all, Just a bit of gossip up first and that is about summer transfers and the football journalists believe that Wenger will be making a record £30million bid for Borussia Dortmund’s Mario Gotze. In addition to him Wenger is considering a £10m move for Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue and the keeper he wants is Pepe Reina. […]
