Morning all. Losing is never nice but if there’s one competition I personally didn’t give a hoot about at the beginning of the season, it’s the League Cup. A trophy is nice but this particular one doesn’t even reward the winners with a place in the Europa Cup, not unless the Conference version counts but […]
Morning all. Arsenal kick off the 2022/23 League Cup campaign against Brighton tonight at The Emirates. This is Brighton’s second fixture of the competition, beating Forest Green Rovers 3-0 in the last round. I wondered if this would be the competition in which Mikel Arteta might rest more players than he has in the Europa Cup […]
Morning all. Of all the things going on in football, Mikel Arteta going on a walk about seems to be a big problem for Richard Keys. What a plonker, but then he did suggest when we win, we’re lucky but when Man City needed a penalty which really never should have been given, it’s the […]
Morning all. One minute into extra time and a Chelsea player finally showed a bit of passion. Chalobah didn’t like Granit Xhaka preventing him from giving the ball back to Mendy. Chelsea were 1-0 down and perhaps thought that in the four minutes remaining, they could do what they hadn’t managed to do in the […]
Morning all. Two of the biggest decisions Mikel Arteta has had to make since becoming Arsenal manager has in my option, involved Mesut Ozil and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. One hasn’t really done much since leaving Arsenal, the other has found himself back in the Premier League with Chelsea after a short stint at Barcelona. With Arsenal […]
Morning all. I’m not making excuses for the disappointing performance from Arsenal last night but there must have been a few nerves in the players. This group is still young and other than Gabriel Jesus, I don’t think any of our starting eleven have much experience in winning the fixtures which really matter. The game […]
Morning all. I’m very happy at Arsenal. I said it many times. This is my club. I love to be here, I love the city, the club, everything about Arsenal. I want to stay. I’m very happy. ‘They just need a pen.’ When I knew that Arsenal wanted to buy me… it was one of […]
Morning all. How can one not love an ex player when he comes out with something like this? I have great affection for Arsenal and great memories from my time there, and beating Spurs, every time it was very special. These are memories I hold close to my heart and cherish. That’s Alexis Sanchez, one […]
Morning all. That’s how to get over a defeat! A 5-0 spanking of Nottingham Forest in front of the home fans. Fatigue? You’re having a laugh – well, the boys certainly didn’t look tired from the highlights I watched. Nottingham Forest might be one of the favourites to be relegated this season, at this moment […]
Morning all. Well who’d have thought that on his return to Brighton, Graham Potter and his Chelsea team would get spanked 4-1. If that was a shock, how about Leeds beating Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield? Totts went 2-0 down before a second half revival saw them come back to win 3-2. Top four chasers Newcastle […]
Morning all. Do you have the feeling Arsenal are at a make or break stage in the season? I know that sounds drastic considering we’ve lost just once in the League and once in the Europa League, but results aside, Arsenal aren’t playing particularly well for a full ninety minutes. Not for one minute do […]
Morning all. Well that didn’t go as as planned, or as we hoped did it. The 2-0 defeat means the battle for top spot will go down to the final game in a weeks time. Arsenal face Zurich at The Emirates whilst PSV Eindhoven travel to Norway to play Bodo/Glimt. Both fixtures kick off at […]
