Morning all. According to The Mirror, Arsenal have and still are, firing scouts. The newspaper suggests this move is down to the impact Coronavirus has had on the club. Finances are tight and this is a cost cutting move. No names have mentioned, just ‘senior scouts’ along with those responsible for spotting the likes of […]
Morning all. Charlie Nicholas often has something to say about his old team and I have to be honest, seldom do I disagree with him. Arsenal ‘cannot expect to compete at the top of the Premier League again until poor decision-making on recruitment and player contracts is addressed’ he told Sky Sports Football Show. Along […]
Morning all. Type David Luiz into Google and all sorts of articles will return. I would say skip past his success stories but you don’t need to as they are the last to appear. It’s the here and now which is creating fuss and a lot of it. A £24 million waste of money deal […]
Morning guys. Fifteen days until the season restarts but it still feels like it’s summer and the 2019/2020 season is a thing of the past. On a scale of one to ten, my interest in the remaining fixtures sits around three. Hopefully that’ll change when Arsenal head off to The Etihad in two weeks […]
If blokes, or women I hasten to add, want to cause havoc, or scrap even before, during or after a football match, it’s likely they’ll find a way regardless of location. The FA, in my opinion are kidding themselves if they think moving a North London Derby out of town or a potential title […]
Morning all. April 2017, Selhurst Park. Arsenal had just conceded a second goal. Sir Chips Keswick was watching on from the stands but as Yohan Cabaye began to celebrate, our club Chairman got up from his seat and walked out. He’d seen enough, so media reports suggested at the time. Sir Chips didn’t return to […]
Morning all. Yesterday the Premier League released a statement which read: The Premier League can today confirm that on Monday 25 May and Tuesday 26 May, 1,008 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, four have tested positive from three clubs. Four positive tests doesn’t sound many I know but it’s four too […]
Morning all. Calum Chambers back up and running is a positive sight. We won’t see him for a while yet, certainly not for our final few fixtures this season but maybe before Christmas. The running is the easiest part of any players return but the twisting, turning and tackling is the tough part. The […]
Afternoon all. I love the FA, certainly more than the League Cup. There’s no denying that both are difficult to win as it seems the further clubs go in each competition, managers tend to field stronger sides. During the early rounds we often get to see a mix of squad players and youth players […]
There are two possible routes for Arsenal to achieve European football next season. The first is by clinching 5th place in the league – 4th place is surely beyond the ambitions of most fans, even if Mikel Arteta has turned the team’s league form around, or by winning the FA Cup. Neither are […]
Morning all. How’s it been for you, you know the lockdown that is? Well my garden looks absolutely fantastic as the weather has been great but I’m really missing my footie now and despite all of the best efforts of the Bundesliga I’m afraid that the empty stadiums in Germany just don’t do it for […]
Morning all. The above chart from The Mail Online shows the win percentage for the so called big Premier League clubs when playing at a neutral ground. Whilst our 57% isn’t much to be proud of, it better than most and importantly perhaps, better than Utd and Toots. Arsenal have played thirteen away fixtures […]
