Morning all. 2015 was a pretty good year as far as Arsenal goes. No Champions League qualification required as we secured the dizzy heights of 3rd place in the league, another FA Cup won in style and finally, Arsene Wenger got one over Jose Mourinho in the Community Shield as the new season kicked off. […]
Morning all. What better way to see out 2015 than with Arsene Wenger muttering the words: We will be busy in the transfer window’… He even went onto say that he’s already busy.. I’m already busy and I said already one month ago we are a bit short to deal with all the competitions we […]
Morning all. That was the perfect result for us last night as City and Leicester played out a 0-0 draw which ensured we go into the New Year as league leaders but the season is only half way through and there’s a long way to go before we can start believing this is our time. […]
Morning all. A minutes applause. Fitting for a man who was so important to Arsenal. An Arsenal man, so important to football. Don Howe who passed away just a few days ago…… Well what a night that was. Not the 2-0 victory of course, although that result was most welcome, but the achievements of two […]
Morning all Another Monday night fixture for Arsenal today. Tonight we face one of the newly promoted sides in Bournemouth, a club which has had its problems in the past. In fact they are in trouble again this season for overspending during the 2014/15 transfer window and could face a hefty fine. Regardless, the club […]
Happy Boxing Day. Morning all. That’s Christmas over for another year. Such a shame the day goes by so quickly really as no sooner I’d eaten, watched the Queens speech and walked Fido, darkness arrived…. Boxing Day – I know the day has nothing to do with two people jumping into a ring and battering […]
Morning all. Ever wondered whether Arsene Wenger is generous at Christmas? Well, Martin Keown did a ‘question time’ in the Daily Mail and thanks to that very question being asked by someone called Matt, here’s your answer: Wenger can definitely be quite festive, he’s certainly not a scrooge. I think he saw Christmas as […]
Morning all. Sad news broke yesterday with the passing of Don Howe, aged 80. Arsenal player, coach and ‘stand in’ manager in years gone by and a man regarded by many as one of the best coaches ever in England. Don Howe was Bertie Mee’s assistant manager during Arsenal’s 1971 Double success….. There’s a really nice piece […]
Morning all. With Christmas Day nearly upon us, it’s a busy time for all, so don’t expect a lot from me over the next few days. I’ve brussels to peel, potatoes and parsnips too and unlike most of you who’ll just stick a bird in the oven, I’ve got to work out which veggie alternative […]
Morning all. No sooner have the Chelsea players clubbed together in order to get their manager the sack, a few hundred miles away in Manchester, the Utd players appear to be doing something similar. Another defeat on Saturday leaves LvG hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons and apparently, he’s just one game away […]
Morning all. Spring is not far away as today is the shortest day of the year. Hoorah! The transfer window is not far away either, just ten days to be precise and there’s a few headlines going around this morning which suggest Arsene Wenger is ready to get stuck into the January transfer window and early! […]
Morning all. Back in 2003, David Seaman finally left Arsenal having been released. He was snapped up by Kevin Keegan who was then the manager of Man City but it wasn’t long before the big guy ditched his gloves for good as injury forced him to retire. Jens Lehmann took his place and to be […]
