Morning all. Arsenal desperately needed a striker during the January transfer window, or at least that’s what I thought and I wasn’t the only one. Such a suggestion might sound bonkers now, having beaten Crystal Palace, Liverpool and West Ham by scoring three or more goals in each game but I still think a prolific […]
Morning all. I thought Mikel Arteta’s team might have a tough afternoon at the London Stadium but as it turned out, the players probably had one of the easiest afternoons they’ve had in a long time.West Ham might sing about forever blowing bubbles but they had their own big bubble royally burst during 100 odd […]
Morning all. No Premier League results fell in our favour yesterday. How on earth did Brighton allow themselves to lose against Totts in the 97th minute – and there was me thinking De Zerbi was the next best thing since managerial sliced bread. Burnley and Everton put up a good fight in their games against […]
Morning all. The International Football Association Board [IFAB] will publish the detailed protocols for sin-bin trials in professional football later today. The IFAB is expected to include a provision for blue cards. During the trials, referees will have the power to send players off for 10 minutes for dissent or cynical fouls. Two blue cards […]
Morning all. He’s our manager, he lives on the pitch with us. He lives every ball with us and when you have that and you see what he transmits from the sidelines to the pitch, it gives you so much confidence as a player. We’re really grateful we have him as our manager. – […]
Morning all. Imagine you’re Mauricio Pochettino, going into work each day wondering whether or not the rumours are true. The only reason you’re still employed by Chelsea is because the club cannot afford to sack you. Yep, that’s the story in the newspapers, Chelsea are so close to breaching the FFP rules, paying off Poch […]
Morning all. Other than missing too many golden opportunities to score and the mass confusion at the back which gifted Liverpool an equaliser, I thought Arsenal were superb. The football pundits, writers, you name it – they will all try and tell us that Liverpool were poor but even if they were, that was because […]
Morning all. Feeling lucky? I’m not, not when it comes to this being Klopp’s final trip to The Emirates and all the luck he’s likely to bring with him. Will the officials be fair? I doubt it, will Liverpool be up for the fight? You bet they will. Will this group of Arsenal players […]
Morning all. Arsenal have announced that the club and Sobha Realty (pronounced: Sho-ba) have today announced a new long-term vision for their partnership which sees the Dubai-based luxury real estate developer become the club’s first ever training ground naming rights partner. From today, the training ground will be known as Sobha Realty Training Centre. […]
Morning all. It’s transfer deadline day today after what’s been an unusually quiet month. FFP has finally sprung into action and after the charges brought against Forest and Everton, it seems clubs have being doing their financial maths like never before. It’s about time too as why have rules if they’re not going to be […]
Morning all. How good was it to see Emile Smith Rowe back in the starting eleven? Even better was that he left the pitch for reasons other than injury. We talk about the return of Thomas Partey and the eventual return of Jurrien Timber but Smith Rowe is equally as important. Mikel Arteta on Smith […]
Morning all. As expected, Mikel Arteta was asked about the Barcelona rumours during his press conference. His reply shocked no one I’m sure. Is he leaving? Who, me? No, that’s totally fake news. What you read yesterday, I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s totally untrue and I’m really upset about it. I […]
