Morning all. Liverpool tonight, an 8pm kick-off with live coverage on BT Sport. Jurgen Klopp snapped up Steve Caulker on loan yesterday as his defensive injury woes continue. A panic signing or just a smart move? Caulker couldn’t get a game for Southampton whilst on loan from QPR, in fact I think I’m right in […]
Morning all. Bolton, Bradford, Birmingham, Bayern Munich, Barcelona…. The list goes on. All at some stage have been a bogey side for us in the domestic and European cups. Last night we drew another ‘B’ in Burnley! At least it’s a home fixture which is always better but Burnley got through the last round with […]
Morning all. The music world has been shocked and deeply saddened this morning after the passing of David Bowie was announced. I’m stunned, he was part of my growing up, he was Mr Music when I was a kid and his voice will be missed by millions. Apparently he was spotted in Surrey early New […]
Morning all. Relying of a few highlights and a stream which when the rain fell and the wind blew, dropped out is tough. Even so, I saw enough to know that once again Martin Atkinson was nothing short of useless and how he is considered good enough to be officiating at the Euros in the […]
Morning all. With January transfer rumours flying around just about as fast as media outlets can cook them up, we have a nonstop game of fact-or-fiction on our hands. That’s par for the course this time of year, but it appears there’s at least one Arsenal rumour we can basically confirm as true, though the […]
Morning all. Two bits of news this morning. One most us already know and that’s Alexis Sanchez won’t be involved in tomorrows FA Cup match against Sunderland, the other being Chelsea are sniffing around Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Can’t say I’m overly fussed about the Alexis news as it’s better he makes a return when he’s 100% […]
Morning all. Changes are expected on Saturday as the manager rests a few first team players ahead of a trip to Anfield and Jeff Reine-Aderlaide is one of a few younger players tipped to get some playing time. With the Capital One Cup long gone for Arsenal, the FA Cup could be the only real […]
Morning all. Rumours coming out of France suggest Adrien Rabiot desperately wants to leave PSG in search of regular first team football. According to the back pages of London’s finest newspapers, both Arsenal and Tottenham would welcome the player on board. I’d imagine Rabiot is no different to many footballers who are not getting enough […]
Morning all. John Roberts passed away yesterday aged 69…. He was a railway fireman before taking up football and joined Arsenal from Northampton Town in April 1969 where he stayed for three years. During his time at the club, he helped Arsenal to win a league and FA Cup double in 1971. Sad to hear of another […]
Morning all. Arsene Wenger after the scrappy victory over Newcastle: It is another aspect of your team that is tested in a game like that. You fight, not to concede a goal, not panic and wait for your chance. We were more questioned on that aspect than the way we play football, so it is good […]
Morning all. A dreadful afternoon on many levels. The persistent rainfall, the very underwhelming Arsenal performance and perhaps the most odd Arsenal display was from the manager himself. Since when did he sit in the dugout with a tracksuit on? Come on Arsene, get back to the suit and red tie, please! Perhaps the relaxed […]
Morning all. I’ve go no idea what to expect from Arsenal today or Newcastle really apart from Steve McClaren hinting that the best way to stop Arsenal and in particular, Mesut Ozil, is by playing tough and we all know what happened when Southampton played in such a fashion. That’s half the problem with this Arsenal […]
