Morning all. Me and technology don’t really go together so when I accidentally click on something behind the scenes which breaks HH, I don’t know how to fix it. Thankfully, a QPR supporting technical genius I know, does. If the season stopped right now,...

Morning all. Arsenal women, the only English club with a Champions League trophy to brag about, went to France and thumped the current champions Lyon, 5-1 in their own back yard. Beth Mead and Caitlin Foord, with two goals each, and Frida Maanum scored the goals. What...

Morning all. Theres a full Premier League fixture list tonight, bar one. Arsenal v Man City, which was postponed so that we could play our Europa fixture against PSV Eindhoven tomorrow evening. For once, I think this might work in our favour, not because I think...

Morning all. This is from our young centre-back Gabriel Magalhães talking to Arsenal Media: I think it’s one of the best periods of my life at the moment. I’m learning more about life every day with everything that’s happening to me. When...

Morning all. Where to start? The 100th penalty in ten games for Kane on Saturday, the 2-0 Chelsea victory over Everton or the shock 1-0 defeat of Man City by Liverpool? None of the above as there’s only one real place of interest and that’s Elland Road....

Morning all. A 2pm kick-off today and no television coverage, how annoying. Sky Sports, for reasons I can’t fathom, think that Aston Villa v Chelsea is the better 2pm fixture to show and then Liverpool v Man City later in the day. If they were playing anyone...

Morning all. Sometimes it doesn’t matter about the performance as long as the outcome is positive. Last night’s match was one of those times in my opinion. Bodo/Glimt were always going to make things difficult for Mikel Arteta’s team regardless of...

Morning all. Another match day is upon us and this one is an earlier kickoff, 5.45pm. Pre match, a number of questions were put to Mikel Arteta about the pitch which is of course, artificial but he wouldn’t be drawn into using that as a reason to change his...

Morning all. Mikel Arteta on The Emirates atmosphere: I’ve never seen it like this, you cannot imagine how much it helps the players, how much belief it gives, how much confidence, and support. It’s one of the nicest things we’ve done since we are...

Morning all. Yesterday’s results did Arsenal no favours whatsoever. Totts somehow secured a 1-0 win at Brighton, Man City, Newcastle Utd and Chelsea all won too. If Arsenal want to go back into top spot, a win today is needed. At the other end of the table,...

Morning all. When I read the headline on Sky Sports asking whether Gabriel Martinelli is proving Jurgen Klopp right, I wondered why on earth they would think anyone gives a toss what Klopp thinks. He’s done nothing but ‘tap him up’ since the day...
