Morning all. Football is entertaining if nothing else and not always for the right reasons. Certainly not in France as PSG lost again, this time to Marseille in a game which saw 14 yellow cards, 5 red cards and a mass brawl once the final whistle blew. Neymar was one of the PSG players given his […]
Morning all. I’ll get one thing out the way. Chris Kavanagh. Excellent when allowing us to play the advance which led to a goal but far too lenient with his cards. To say Fulham’s Hector lived dangerously after his booking would be an understatement. 4, 5, maybe even 6 fouls later, he was still on […]
Morning all. Well that summer break went by quickly. Arsenal have been picked to open the new campaign along with Fulham. I’m sure that had the fixture been scheduled to take place at The Emirates, we’d be kicking off at 3pm but we’re been pretty grim on the road for a few years so I’m […]
Afternoon guys. I can say that I am even more confident than I was at the end of last season when you asked me the same question 10 times! I am very optimistic. I think [those fans who are worried] can be pretty relaxed! There is absolutely no way Mikel Arteta would stick his neck […]
Morning all. How on earth has Rob Holding got up so high? His legs must be strong and very springy. VvD, be afraid! Kia Joorabchian, the man who clearly things he can solve everything has waded into the Mesut Ozil situation. The Metro has quoted him as saying he’d have sorted the problem out […]
Morning all. “It wasn’t easy for me to get into the team either because I was coming off the back of a long injury lay-off. I felt like I should be playing but I was wrong about that because I wasn’t fit. The coach was really straight with me and said that if I got […]
Afternoon all. Does it really matter that Aston Villa beat Arsenal in a behind closed doors preseason friendly? Of course not. Friendly fixtures are nothing more than minutes on the pitch, experiment time for Mikel Arteta, a time to give every player available a run out. Also, it’s another chance to see fringe players, perhaps […]
Afternoon all. It’s happened again. I go off on an overnight stay elsewhere and Arsenal dish out good news. This time it’s Dani Ceballos returning for another season on loan which is great news I reckon. Hopefully there’s an option to make the deal permanent next year but I’d be surprised if Real Madrid would […]
Morning all. It’s quite sad to read the quotes from Alexis Sanchez in the newspapers this morning. Fancy moving to another club, yet despite earning £500k a week, you’re as miserable as sin. Going to work day after day but you hate it. Such a scenario goes on daily for many ‘ordinary’ folk but without […]
Morning all. It’s hard not to be pleased with how things are going in this transfer market for Arsenal. Other than Mari and Cedric becoming permanent players, we’ve only added two players in Gabriel and Willian. Of course it seems like three with Saliba finally joining up with the squad but even so, I think […]
Morning all. Numbers 6 and 4. Adams and Vieira, two of Arsenal’s best ever to wear the two shirts. Certainly as far back as my memory will take me. Number 6. Frank McLintock is up there with the best, along with Willie Young, Michael Thomas and David Rocastle for a brief spell. Now it’ll […]
Morning all. The exit door has opened at Arsenal. We knew it was coming because the club’s wage bill is far too high. A Champions League football bill for a European football club we were told. We didn’t need telling mind you because the facts and figures are out there to be read. Henrikh […]
