Morning all. Sunderland needed just one point for Premier League survival and that’s exactly what they played for and got. They were always going to throw any part of their bodies in front of a shot or cross as they were desperate. And so typically, their goalkeeper had a night to remember for all the […]
Morning all. Back in 1993 and on this very day, Arsenal beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 to win the FA Cup, thanks to Andy Linighan’s 119th minute header. All the back pages are filled with the ‘Cech in Arsenal talks’ story and as much as I hope this is true and we can get a deal done, […]
Morning all. Back in 1980 and on this very day, Liam Brady played his last game for Arsenal. £500,000 was enough to convince Arsenal to sell him to Juventus….. Third place is a step forward from where we finished last year, But we want to – and need to – be pushing on now and trying to […]
Morning all. Well that was all a bit weird wasn’t it. A strong Arsenal eleven up against what really was an average depleted Man Utd side. For the first hour, we were awful. We were second to the ball, being outfought and out thought all over the pitch and when we did get hold of the […]
Morning all. Don’t you miss those days? The days when we we faced Utd and the rivalry was immense. So much so I’d say a fixture against that lot was equally if not more feisty than playing the neighbours. Fergie v Wenger, Paddy v Keane, Keown v van Nistelrooy and Wrighty against Schmeichel and of […]
Morning all. Back in 1998 and on this very day, Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley in the FA Cup Final to seal the ‘Double’ for the second time. Marc Overmars opened the scoring and Nicolas Anleka finished the Geordies off for the first time in a Cup Final having lost both previous encounters in 1932 and […]
Morning all. No doubt you all know that Santi Cazorla is a patron of the London-based youth charity Football Beyond Borders (FBB). He agreed to support FBB, which delivers a combination of football training sessions and education programmes to support young people in some of London’s most deprived estates and schools. To celebrate Cazorla joining FBB […]
Morning all. Back in 1986 and on this very day, Arsenal FC appointed George Graham as manager. I bet our goals conceded tally would be far less if he was still manager today, mind you, so would our goals scored…. Over the years the first team have suffered injuries and many of them. Some have […]
Morning all. On this day back in 1991, Francis Coquelin came into this world so a big happy birthday to him. 24 years old today. Back in 2012 on this very day, Arsenal beat WBA 3-2 away from home. We finished 3rd in the league and secured Champions League football. This game was also the last for […]
Morning all. Back in 1979 and on this very day, Arsenal beat Man Utd 3-2 to win the FA Cup – Alan Sunderland scoring a dramatic last-minute winner! We could do we the same result next Sunday, especially after last nights shocking result. A game we should have won turned out to be a game we […]
Morning all. What is he wearing? Got to love him eh….. Thierry Henry: Arsenal must sort out this injury situation. I honestly don’t know why the get so many. Arsenal would have won the title within the last four or five years but for all these injuries. Surely not with Big Ollie Thierry? Does he […]
Morning all. Dennis Bergkamp is 46 years old today so a big happy birthday to him. I wonder if he’ll ever return to Arsenal in a coaching role, I sure hope so…. Man Utd got all three points at Palace yesterday, leaving them just two points behind us and City. Our job is simple as we […]
