Morning all. I was just a kid when Ray Kennedy arrived at Arsenal in 1968 but by the time he left us for Liverpool, he was certainly a name the world of football would never forget. A footballer both Arsenal and Liverpool fans would never forget. With Arsenal, he won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1970, and […]
Morning all. I don’t understand all the fuss being made about Ralf Rangnick’s arrival at Manchester Utd. Actually, he hasn’t arrived yet as he has Visa issues so won’t be in the dugout on Thursday night. VfB Stuttgart U19 – Under 19 Bundesliga: 1990–91 Ulm 1846 – Regionalliga Süd: 1997–98 VfB Stuttgart – UEFA Intertoto […]
Morning all. The results at the weekend certainly did us a favour. West Ham lost, Wolves drew and so did Man Utd. Chelsea must be kicking themselves for dropping two points, as for Utd, well, they just kicked out at the opposition. I think it’s safe to say that we can expect some similar treatment […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta made just one change to his starting eleven for the visit of Newcastle with Martin Odegaard coming in for Alex Lacazette. Despite the errors last weekend, both Nuno Tavares and Sambi Lokonga kept their place in the team. The first half was pretty slow. Newcastle were compact at the back while […]
Morning all. Both Joe Willock and Issac Hayden return to The Emirates today and I’m sure they’ll both receive a warm welcome. I hope Willock’s late runs into the box don’t catch us out. I think this lunchtime fixture against Newcastle Utd is big. They seem to have found a new attacking lease of life […]
Morning all. Apparently, Rio Ferdinand has been to London Conley for a day out. He chatted with staff, players, coaches of the academy, and the big man himself. Per Mertesacker. What about I’ve no idea but he liked what he saw. Impressive I think he said, as everyone at the club is on the same […]
Morning all. We are in entertainment, The ground work is to win, but that is not enough. You need the ambition to give more. To go deeper into what the game can give people. To get something more than just the individual expression of the player, but the collective expression of the team: to transform it […]
Morning all. I don’t like learning like that, but there’s a lot of learning that we can take from the game for sure. One of the biggest learnings after a disappointing result is focus tomorrow on the next one. Don’t get carried away with what happened in the past because we have to look to […]
Morning all. I think trips to places like Anfield highlight many things and not just that there’s still a long way to go before Arsenal can truly compete for the Premier League title again. If we ever do of course. The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City are way ahead of us as far as […]
Morning all. There’s a ghastly 48 hour bug going around where I live, one which decided to say hello to me on Thursday night. Anyway, I dragged myself out of bed to watch Arsenal take on Liverpool. Trouble is, I could barely keep my eyes open but I’m not sure whether or not that was […]
Morning all. Don’t you just love the early rounds in the FA Cup? It’s hard to believe that Bolton, a Premier League club not that long ago, surrendered a two goal lead against non-league Stockport County last night. Twice! 2-0 up, then 3-1 up before the home team managed to take the tie into extra […]
Morning all. Do four goals against the lowest ranked country in world football deserve such gushing over? Two of which were penalties I hasten to add. The way the British media are reacting to England’s 10-0 thrashing of San Marino is ridiculous in my opinion. Of course it was good to secure the victory needed […]
