Morning all. To say I’m disappointed after last night is an understatement. We could so easily have been 2 or 3-0 up before Pepe gave us the lead. VAR were quick to spot an offside against Lacazette after Pepe had scored, we rattled the woodwork again. All after Saka...

Morning all. What a winter transfer Arsenal have had. Mesut Ozil, gone. Sokratis, gone. Stead Kolasinac, gone. Shkodran Mustafi, gone. Their wages, gone. For a while now, Arsenal fans, certainly many of us on here, have been crying out for a squad overhaul, a removal...

Morning all. Whilst we often talk about the improvement of certain outfield players, it’s fair to say Bernd Leno really has been playing well. The defending in general has much improved since the turn of the year but even so, every now and again most teams need their...

Morning all. I love a good headline and Sky Sports certainly had one yesterday evening. ‘Man Utd held by under strength Arsenal’. But it’s true, Arsenal were missing Tierney, Saka, Mari, Ceballos and Aubameyang. Utd however had a full strength squad. If they are...

Morning all. Arsenal play Man Utd this evening without Aubameyang. Personally, I don’t think it’s such a big deal. If he’d scored 20 goals so far this season then of course I’d think differently but he hasn’t, in fact his number of league goals need only one hand to...

Morning all. Last night another PL result kind of did us a favour, as Liverpool thumped the Toots 3-1 in north London. Kane picked up an injury too which Mourinho suggested would see him ruled out for a few weeks. Such a shame. The Mail report that the Toots players...

In many of the world’s top industries, quality and quantity work hand-in-hand to deliver a top-notch product or service in good timing. Surprisingly enough, this concept also applies to sports and their athletes. Especially when it comes to the world’s most viewed,...

pic.twitter.com/1XVfe9J8Dp — AUBA⚡️ (@Aubameyang7) January 27, 2021 Morning all. Well that’s good news re Aubameyang’s mum and selfishly, good for Arsenal that he’ll soon be back playing football. There were a few odd results last night. Chelsea could only...

Morning all. I don’t know if Mikel Arteta suffers with his nerves but he simply can’t sit down, let alone sit still. His chatter can be heard from start to finish, his orders barked clearly. Well, I guess so although I can’t tell when he switches away from...

Morning all. A second chance for Arsenal against Southampton and for our League campaign, we need a much improved performance to the one just a few days ago which saw us knocked out of the FA Cup. Back will come ESR and Tierney, and Lacazette, Saka and Partey...

Morning all. Thank goodness the Mesut Ozil saga is over and Arsenal can move on. Hopefully now the continued questioning about his future will end and Mikel Arteta will have different questions to answer in his press conferences, like ‘what on earth possessed you to...

Morning all. A disappointment to say the least. Out of the FA Cup so we’re now relying on our League performances to get us into Europe, or the Europa Cup. Ralf Hasenhuttl took the game seriously by fielding probably his strongest side, Mikel Arteta however decided...
