Morning all. Ryan Bertrand is out of contract this summer and Arsenal are one of a number of clubs rumoured to be interested in signing him. Kieran Tierney, if fully fit and healthy, will always be Mikel Arteta’s first choice I’m sure. But, when/if he’s out injured,...

Morning all. Not the best of FA Cup Finals I’ve ever watched but what a superb way for Leicester City to beat Chelsea. A wonderful strike by Youri Tielemans which Kepa had no chance of stopping. The goal wasn’t as good as the ‘It’s only Ray Parlour” or Freddie...

Morning all. It’s back. The cannon is back, loud and proud on the new kit Adidas have produced. It’s a shade of yellow but not quite the same as Bertie Mee’s Arsenal players wore back in 1970-71 when they won the double. That season’s FA Cup Final will always...

Morning all. ESR, excellent, Elneny, excellent, Arsenal’s defending – pretty darn good. You know what, I’d take that kind of performance each time we played the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool etc away from home if the outcome is the same as last night....

Morning all. I’m not going to mention Balogun, Nelson or Azeez and their inclusion in tonight’s squad to play Chelsea because each time I do, their names never appear when the squad is named. Once Europa was done and dusted, I thought Mikel Arteta might use the...

Morning all. The next days, weeks and months will be about who leaves and who might arrive at Arsenal during the summer transfer window. Yes we have three fixtures to go but with very little to play for other than pride, I’d imagine interest levels will be low. Our...

Morning all. Watching Arsenal yesterday was kind of weird. There superb goals yet it all felt too little and certainly too late. Saka was excellent at left back, ESR likewise without Odegaard nicking his space and even Willian had a decent game, topped off with a...

Morning all. Arsenal play West Brom this evening and I don’t know about your guys but I’ve got zero interest in the match. Of course I’ll watch it, even it’s just in hope that Mikel Arteta is already thinking about next season. I hope he’s looked at those who’ve let...

Morning all. Last night wasn’t season over, not really, because in all honesty, Arsenal’s season never really got going in the first place. Performances and results have been hit and miss, one or two results haven’t been helped by shoddy officiating but mostly, we’ve...

Morning all. Mikel Arteta’s team have a lot to do tonight but if Arsenal can keep a clean sheet, progressing through to the final will be made a little easier. The last thing we need is to not be at it from the off. Anything other than 100% commitment and discipline...

Morning all. Look who’s back, Kieran Tierney and Alex Lacazette. The perfect boost ahead of tomorrow’s fixture against Villarreal. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found the back of the net at the weekend which is good for him and the team and along with Gabriel...

Morning all. The Man Utd fans might have inadvertently helped Arsenal out but only if we can muster up a good enough performance against Villarreal on Thursday night. The Utd v Liverpool fixture has to be played before the end of the season, Sunday 23rd May but...
