Morning all. What a peach of a goal that was from Payet last night. Just as it looked like France would drop two points on the opening day of the Euros, up popped the little Frenchman with a stunning strike from distance to win the game. See, that’s what can happen Arsene when players are […]
Morning all. And so it begins…. England fans have arrived in France ahead of tomorrows match against Russia and the trouble has already begun. French Police had to use tear gas to stop a bunch of thugs who had a spat with locals last night. Why do they do it? It’s embarrassing and wrong. ‘ISIS […]
Morning all. If the back pages are right this morning, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is heading to Manchester City. I’m not surprised really because that’s what Pep does. He goes for the so-called best in attempt to win anything and everything on offer and we all knew the City owners would give him a bottomless pot to spend from. […]
Morning all. It’s simple really isn’t it, Jamie Vardy either wants to move to Arsenal or he doesn’t and if it’s the latter then so what, it’s his choice. Leicester plucked him from Conference League side Fleetwood Town four years ago, they gave him a chance and that’s why he is where he is right […]
Morning all. Wouldn’t you just loved to have been a fly on the wall, or on the seat, sat quietly listening to the words exchanged between David Dein and Arsene Wenger whilst they watched England play Portugal last Friday night? I would, I seriously would. The man who supported the arrival of Dennis Bergkamp and […]
Morning all. So I’ve gone from thinking is Vardy really the best Arsenal could get this summer, to believing that yes, perhaps he is. Certainly for just £20 million, a figure which would have been £30 million had we not qualified for the Champions League. So when the stories come out about Utd and Liverpool […]
Written by Merlin96 When Arsene Wenger arrived in September 1996, Arsenal FC was a typical English team, featuring ‘hard-tackling box-to-box one-footed midfielders’, giant centre-halves and centre-forwards who couldn’t play football. They were one-dimensional and lacked versatility. Crucially, there was Bergkamp who had the physique to cope with the frenzy of English football and with the skills […]
Morning all. Did anyone manage to stay awake until the end of the England match? No, me neither, what a boring game of football and if England want to go far at the Euros, they’ll certainly need to up their level of performance. A bit like Arsenal next season if they are serious about winning […]
Morning all. Having signed Granit Xhaka so early, I’m kind of disappointed no one else has followed him through the door yet. I know, the transfer window isn’t even open yet so I should be more patient but Conte, Guardiola, Mourinho and other managers will soon get going with their summer signings and Arsene could […]
Morning all. Sky Sports do this every year as they look back on the season gone by. What was your favourite moment, worst moment, most controversial moment, the list is endless and that’s because they have to fill their day with sport. It’s hard to pick out an Arsenal moment as being one of my […]
Forget blue, brown is best….. Morning all. From Southampton to Arsenal a couple of summers ago, from right-back to centre-back and finally central-midfield, Calum Chambers is heading out on loan this coming season and it’s looking like his old club are the team to get his career back on track. If we are to […]
Written by Merlin96 Lucius Annaeus Seneca: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Claudio Raineri did that and won the 2015/16 title. He got lucky with the traditional Top-4 team in disarray due to managerial upheaval and a fractious dressing room. The Tiny Totts bottled it during home straight and Arsenal did the same during perennial […]
