Morning all. It’s a cold and frosty one in West Berkshire but the sun is shining and it’s going to be a beautiful day. Arsenal face Chelsea at The Emirates at lunchtime today. This fixture last season saw us run out 5-0 winners but not for one minute do I expect a repeat […]

    Photo from Freepik     Morning all. Myles Lewis-Skelly has been handed his first England senior call-up by Thomas Tuchel for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Thankfully, he’ll have Declan Rice to support him through his time away with England. There’s no place for Ethan Nwaneri in Tuchel’s squad which on […]

    Morning all. Arsenal did their job well last night. A mix and match team from start to end but with a few surprises thrown in. Not as far as personnel goes but how they played. Zinchenko had an excellent game in midfield and Sterling played really well too ending with two assists. He […]

      Morning all. I dipped in and out of the Liverpool v PSG game last night but I saw enough to know that when a neutral and strong referee oversees a game, Liverpool have to actually win a game for themselves. They didn’t. PSG, who we defeated 2-0 earlier in this competition by […]

    Morning all. It feels like Arsenal has taken ten steps forward followed by seven steps backwards since Mikel Arteta took the Arsenal coach/managers job back in 2019. So many good things have happened, they’re squad changes, the fans believing again and the club getting back to being truly competitive. Yet this season has […]

  Morning all. Sadly, the kind of performance we saw against PSV Eindhoven was nowhere near Old Trafford yesterday afternoon. The first half was more like a training session with a timid attacking unit up against a defence happy to let those up against them just pass the ball amongst themselves. Mikel Merino had a […]

    Morning all. David Ornstein had some news for us yesterday as he reported that Andrea Berta has reached an agreement with Arsenal to become their new sporting director. Berta became available in January after more than a decade at Atletico Madrid — where he was central to the Spanish team’s progress. It’s been […]

      Morning all. No surprise really that Ethan Nwaneri’s goal against Manchester City last month is a contender for the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award. It was a stunner. If there was an award for assist of the month, then look no further than the Declan Rice 50 yard pass to […]

    Morning all. When Jurrien Timber sat alongside Mikel Arteta in the pre match press conference, the ex Ajax defender said: I think the motivation is there. We showed in the group stages that we did really well, we have a good team and this is a beautiful game and a chance to change […]

    Morning all. Did you guys by any chance watch Arsenal’s women v West Ham yesterday? I couldn’t believe what I was watching as West Ham raced into an early 2-0 lead. Renée Slegers had been talking in her pre match press conference about not giving up on the title, controlling what her team […]

  Morning all. Both Ismeal Kabia and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji made the bench for the game against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday instead of just the latter as has been the case recently. It might be that the suspension of Myles Lewis-Skelly opened the door for Kabia and nothing more.  However, I’ve not read or seen anything […]
