Morning all. Happy Birthday to Olivier Giroud who is 28 years old today. No birthday cake demanded as far as I know but apparently he’s been given a two year contract extension. Wow, that’s a nice birthday present isn’t it! He’s now with us until 2018 which will no doubt please many Arsenal fans. Giroud […]
Morning all. First up, a big well done to Europe in the Ryder Cup, they absolutely battered the Americans and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Nothing quite like spanking the Yanks! We need more goals don’t we, many more goals. It’s all well and good talking after a game about how we had 70% or […]
Morning all. I’m not going to go through the game as everyone would have watched it and needless to say, a draw was not a good result. A victory yesterday should have been a formality against a very average Tottenham side, so what does that say about us eh! Why Arsene Wenger didn’t start with […]
Morning all. Don’t get too excited, Wenger is not promising to spend many millions of pounds in January on a Centre Back, Central Defensive Midfielder or any other players which we so seriously need, he’s just saying that the team today will be very different to the one which lost at home to Southampton in […]
Morning all. First up, Happy Birthday to Kieran Gibbs and Kenny Sansom – one is 25 today, the other 56….. Not long to go now before the big match, the first North London Derby of the season and our boys can’t wait. Even Alexis Sanchez is chomping at the bit. Alexis and Jack played 90 […]
Morning all. On this day back in 1991, Ian Wright made his Arsenal debut in a league cup fixture against Leicester. He scored too! That’s what great strikers do…. Arsene Wenger wants to change Abou Diaby’s style of play. Instead of being the tall and powerful box to box player he was, (cough) he’s now […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game annoyingly and at the time of writing, I haven’t even seen the goals. Anyway, we lost against a strong Southampton side and the only positive from that is we are out of one of the cups, leaving us to concentrate on the Premier League, Champions League and FA […]
Morning all. Mathieu Debuchy will be out for at least three months after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle. Dreadful news for Arsenal, dreadful news for the player. He has had surgery and will be out for three months. A reasonable delay is three months. It all went well, but it can be a week or […]
Morning all. What a bizarre weekend of football that was. Well, good actually as it’s always nice to see the sides who the media love fall by the wayside. Everton and Tottenham got spanked at home, Utd threw away a 2-1 lead to lose 5-3 at Leicester and Liverpool got hammered at Upton Park and […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the entire game, just a few highlights including the goals. The two we scored were pretty good weren’t they and good to see Danny Welbeck open his goal scoring account and Mesut Ozil get his first for the season. I must admit, I didn’t expect us to get anything at […]
Morning all. So, £173 million sat in the Arsenal bank before the summer transfer window, now there is £120 million according to reports and that’s not including the £30 million set aside to pay the mortgage. Disgraceful! I’m not a huge fan of all these ex players who instead of getting on the football training […]
Morning all. I would have loved to have managed Didier Drogba, for two reasons. One, I missed him when he played at Le Mans in France, not even in the top league. I knew there was a good player there and I missed him.And secondly, because he hurt us so much in big games that […]
