Morning all. Happy birthday to Arsene Wenger who is 65 years old today. Retirement age isn’t it? Sadly not but darn I wish it was and applied to football management. Fergie wouldn’t have won as many trophies as he did and now we’d be wondering who is set to become our new manager. If only […]
Morning all. Something which will cheer us Gooners relates to Lukas Podolski. Despite not being able to force his way into the Arsenal side this season which in itself is somewhat strange when we consider how many injuries we have and the fact that Danny Welbeck is yet to be given a break, he is a […]
Morning all. Back on this day in 1934, Ted Drake scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 battering of Tottenham! I think Mikel Arteta models himself on Ted Drake, especially the hair….. Arsene Wenger has been talking about why results aren’t going our way. No, not in that tricky interview after the match with the BBC […]
Yesterday began with the earth shattering news that Man City were preparing to sign Mesut Ozil for £32million. A loss to Arsenal of over £10million should the move go ahead. The report was in the Express and repeated in the Metro. Two newspapers, famous for reporting a load of rubbish, so still my beating heart…. […]
Morning all. Here he is. The man heavily rumoured to make a move from the Scottish PL to the English PL and join us in January. Nearly every newspaper believes Virgil is the £7 million man wanted by Arsene Wenger in January! The 23 year old Dutchman stands 6′ 4″ tall which is great, but is […]
Morning all. Yesterday, at the AGM, Sir Chips Keswick made it crystal clear where the decisions on football matters rested at the Emirates Stadium…. I don’t think that my wish or intention to double guess what Arsene Wenger wants to do – as you know, your board backs him 100 per cent. If he has […]
Morning all. Jackie boy is back in the news again and thank goodness, it’s all good, very good! Just seven months ago, Paul Scholes laid into Jack and went as far as saying he’d failed to improve his game since he burst onto the scene at 17 years old. Two stand out performances for England […]
Morning all. Happy Birthday to Mesut Ozil who is 26 years old today. Not that I’m sure it will be all that happy for him….. I once saw a sign etched into the bar in a public house. It read ‘Free Beer Tomorrow’… Ivan Gazidis on Arsenal, where it is now and where it will be.. […]
Morning all. Forgive me if I have got this wrong but since both players, especially Theo Walcott suffered injury and their expected return date was announced on the official site, I’ve not seen or heard the word we do so often and that’s ‘setback’. Looking at the pictures on Arsenal.com, it doesn’t look like either […]
Morning all. If we are to believe what is written in the press, the answer to the question is sadly yes. Apparently Mesut isn’t happy being played out wide and he’s ready to up sticks in January and head home to Germany with Bayern Munich. Of course I haven’t a clue whether this story is […]
There comes a time when younger players need to be given a chance, especially when they are performing well for either the Arsenal under 21’s or their country at their respected age group and right now we have one or two who are doing just that. Chuba Akpom is scoring for fun for both Arsenal […]
Morning all. Where would we be without the internet eh? Lost, absolutely lost I suspect and when the internet crashes, darn, Highbury House suffers with a later than usual post. I’m sure we’ll cope though…. Anyway, not a lot of news around about Arsenal and I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m still pretty […]
