Morning all. So this is what it’s like playing in the Europa League, a Thursday evening fixture followed by one on Sunday. Well, that could be just around the corner for Arsenal if they don’t secure 2nd or 3rd spot and Liverpool win the Europa league. Fingers crossed they don’t eh, just because I don’t […]
Morning all. So that’s the heading practice Arsene Wenger referred to last weekend when asked what the boys had been doing all week having allowed Andy Carroll so much freedom! What good will that do? Set the table a few feet higher and they might improve…. Seriously, I get the need for some down time […]
Morning all. Few things hitting the headlines relating to Arsenal. Jack Wilshere took a knock last night during the Under 21’s loss to West Brom but thankfully for him, he got up and carried on. He scored too. Tomas Rosicky didn’t feature so he’s either injured again or he’s ready for a first team run […]
Morning all. When Arsene Wenger said that Crystal Palace probably needed a couple more points in order to avoid relegation, who’d have thought it would have been Arsenal to gift them one of them? Yes, me too…. Yesterday’s performance summed up Arsenal’s season and not only this one as the steady decline has been apparent […]
Morning all. With Man City battering Chelsea yesterday, overtaking Arsenal into the automatic Champions League place and Man Utd beating a now relegated Aston Villa 1-0 on Saturday, it really is twitchy bum time for Arsene Wenger, Stan Kroenke and the rest of the Arsenal board. For one of the few times under Wenger, Arsenal […]
Morning all. Team news is out for Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Santi Cazorla could be back next week, well maybe but neither are involved in full training yet and according to the manager, they are still undergoing fitness work. Better news on Jack Wilshere, Serge Gnabry and Tomas Rosicky who after helping the under 21’s […]
Morning all. I touched on the summer Olympics a few days ago with Alex Iwobi set to be heavily involved for Nigeria. Well there’s other players who could be missing too, not only from pre-season, but the start of the new campaign too. Serge Gnabry should be involved for Germany and Damian Martinez is expected to […]
Morning all. Mesut Ozil, one of the best players we’ve had at Arsenal for a while, well, him and Alexis on the attacking front. Ok, Alexis hadn’t produced the kind of football he did last season but perhaps that’s down to his busy summer, little to no preseason and then playing a few too many […]
Morning all. What an odd weekend of sport that was and outside the world of football, it was great. A young teenager won the Grand National against all the odds and then in the early hours of this morning, Danny Willett did what no British golfer has done in twenty years as he walked away […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger sprung a surprise yesterday with David Ospina keeping his place in goal when Petr Cech is back fit and healthy. The same side which beat Watford last weekend started at Upton Park in what was Arsenal’s last ever visit to the stadium. It wasn’t long before Ospina was beaten, but a correctly raised linesman’s […]
Morning all. The mind boggles when reading a story like the one below about Theo Walcott who has reportedly been told by Arsene Wenger that the time has come for him to finally decide on his best position. Ten years he’s been at Arsenal, a period of time which has seen his wages increase to a whopping […]
Morning all. Big weekend as far as the title race goes as any of the top four sides could drop points. Arsenal kick things off at lunchtime tomorrow with a tricky trip to West Ham but there’s no reason why this team can’t get one over the club which beat us on the opening day […]
