Morning all. There’s seldom much Arsenal news at this time of the year, even less so this time around because we’re out of the domestic cups, sitting top of the League and Europa League football still a few weeks away. I’m sure we all wish we could have beaten Everton...

Morning all. Lee Mason has paid the ultimate price for his massive error in last weekends fixture between Arsenal and Brentford. Left by mutual consent is the way this news has been reported but I don’t buy it, he’s been sacked in my opinion. Rightly so too if I’m...

Morning all. The ‘same old Arsenal, always moaning’ has taken a turn. Sky Sports has moved on from Dermot’s ref watch, a joke in itself with the Chelsea supporting pundit giggling his way through it each morning, to a proper headline and feature about VAR and Arsenal....

Morning all. I haven’t seen the full game so can’t comment about how Arsenal played yesterday but I have seen highlights including Brentford’s goal which should never have been allowed. This photo is when the free kick is delivered. This is the second phase when...

Morning all. How will Arsenal react after losing a second league match this season is probably the question of the day. That and will Man City be booted out of the Premier League if found guilty of breaching the financial fair play rules. Did you feel a tiny bit sorry...

Morning all. Harry Kane was always likely to become Tottenham’s highest goal scorer and yesterday he did thanks to a match winning strike against Man City. Regardless of what we think of Kane and his 150 penalties won and scored, it’s quite an achievement for him. All...
