Morning all. Good old Paul Merson, footballer turned pundit, well, he talks a lot for and on Sky Sports but I’m sure he means well. Just like football fans, he and the sports panel predict the outcome of the matches each weekend and to be honest, they’re not often very successful. Last weekend was probably […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger has held his press conference ahead of tomorrow and the main points are: Laurent Koscielny will be available for Hull Gabriel will be out for another week Jack Wilshere will return in three or four weeks David Ospina will start against the Tigers, as could Mohamed Elneny Jack Wilshere is still […]
Morning all. Rumours are flying around which suggest that when the new season kicks off, Petr Cech will be wearing the captains armband and I’m not surprised. Mikel Arteta is being heavily tipped to retire from playing in the summer to take up a coaching role and it’s unlikely that Per Mertesacker will be a […]
Summer 2015 saw Arsenal pull off the coup of the season. They signed Cech. While the mere thought of giving Cech to the team he loved to hate was making a manager cringe, his captain immediately said that Cech was worth an extra 12 points. In the game against Leicester we saw just that with a huge save […]
Morning all. What is it about footballers who after losing their place in the side when someone else is performing better, they lose the will to fight for their place. Whatever happened to the fighting spirit, the will to win and the ‘I’ll show you that you are wrong attitude’? And when did a footballer […]
Morning all. What a game that was. It had pretty much everything from a good penalty shout from Arsenal turned down, a dubious one given to Leicester and a few strong challenges passing by Martin Atkinson as usual. Two cracking goals in the second half, with one right at the death… An early foul by Danny […]
Morning all. When it comes to Arsene Wenger v Claudio Ranieri, the Frenchman often wins in the domestic challenge but back in 2004, it was the Italian who came out on top in the Champions League quarter-final when Wayne Bridge popped up late in the game to knock Arsenal out. That hurt didn’t it! That […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger thinks the price charged by Arsenal for season tickets and tickets in general are fair. Well, by looking at the table above which has been pinched from The Daily Mail, perhaps his view is blinkered, and that’s being kind. We pay absolutely everything ourselves so we have to generate more revenue. It […]
Morning all. The mischief makers are out there again and now it’s the turn of Alexis to hit the headlines. Apparently, the lack of spending (which equates to ambition) since he’s been here is making him think about his Arsenal future. To be honest, it’s no more than some on here have thought about him […]
Morning all. Over the years, Arsene Wenger has disappointed fans with some of his player signings. Not always of course as looking back to the better days under his management, an awful lot of players were outstanding footballers. Too many to mention really but I think we all know who I mean… That’s not always […]
Morning all. So Leicester are Thierry’s team to win the league. They have the mental strength, the ability and above all, they know how to deal with the pressure. Such qualities should see them crowned champions…. His old club however, well they lack bottle, they can’t score goals and they can’t win the tough matches […]
Morning all. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has to be up there with one of the most frustrating Arsenal players right now. Scorer of our second goal and a very good one it was too, he just doesn’t do enough to help the team. He seldom tracks back, when he does is half-hearted and all too often he loses possession. […]
