Morning all. Call it stupid, naive, sloppy – call it what you want but perhaps I prefer inexperience. 93 minutes on the clock, with just one to go, the only thing Arsenal should be doing is keeping the ball or booting it into row z. A hoof up the pitch was not...

Morning all. As we all know, if one looks hard enough, answers to most questions can be found on the internet so I went searching in attempt to find out what Porto FC are all about. After being bamboozled by tactical jargon, the gist is, they’re going to be difficult...

Morning all. A few of us have touched on this subject already I know but how will Mikel Arteta deal with the return of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko? More to the point, what are your thoughts? Jakub Kiwior has gone from strength to strength, notching up...

Morning all.What a great day for Arsenal Football Club. At lunchtime, the women thumped Manchester United 3-1 and then at 3pm, the men cruised past Burnley scoring another five goals in the process. That’s five wins in a row since the turn of the year which is...

Morning all. Another away fixture for Mikel Arteta and his players and it could be a tough one. Burnley are in a relegation battle so they need points. They’re seven points behind Luton who sit fourth from bottom. Any one of nine clubs could in theory be...

Morning all. Eleven minutes of most enjoyable viewing thanks to GoonerHQ on YouTube. Bukayo Saka is an incredible footballer for his young years. Yes he has games in which things don’t always go right but what footballer doesn’t? Even the great Thierry Henry, Dennis...

Morning all. Arsenal desperately needed a striker during the January transfer window, or at least that’s what I thought and I wasn’t the only one. Such a suggestion might sound bonkers now, having beaten Crystal Palace, Liverpool and West Ham by scoring three or more...

Morning all. I thought Mikel Arteta’s team might have a tough afternoon at the London Stadium but as it turned out, the players probably had one of the easiest afternoons they’ve had in a long time.West Ham might sing about forever blowing bubbles but they had their...

Morning all. No Premier League results fell in our favour yesterday. How on earth did Brighton allow themselves to lose against Totts in the 97th minute – and there was me thinking De Zerbi was the next best thing since managerial sliced bread. Burnley and...

Morning all. Imagine you’re Mauricio Pochettino, going into work each day wondering whether or not the rumours are true. The only reason you’re still employed by Chelsea is because the club cannot afford to sack you. Yep, that’s the story in the newspapers, Chelsea...
