Morning all. Bramall Lane, not a place where Arsenal have been overly successful over the years. In fact our record there has been pretty shabby. 1991? Well, it’s not like Sheffield Utd have been in the Premier League often is it? Last season was their first in the top English division for […]
Morning all. If there’s one thing I really don’t understand about Mikel Arteta it’s his reluctance to go just that one step further with the younger players. Instead he persists with the ageing players or those who just aren’t returning the faith he puts in them. Blind faith in certain cases and that blind faith […]
Have you ever in good faith offered to help a friend out and then gradually regretted it? Well that was me yesterday evening, because with Rico not feeling too well with a migraine I offered gallantly to step into the breach to help out only to wonder what I’d let myself in for. Fresh from […]
Morning all. Gary Neville, the man who failed in his one and only attempt at managing a football team has really torn into Arsenal, or rather half of the team who failed to impress against Liverpool. It looked like a group of players who weren’t comfortable, like there was a disconnect between them and the […]
Morning all. Two positives today. The Arsenal women won 4-0 and Joe Willock came off the bench to score for Newcastle against the Toots, a goal to snatch a much needed point for his team. AMN seems to be fairing pretty well under Big Sam and he and his West Brom teammates gave Chelsea a […]
Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it? All the time Luiz played and made cockup after cockup, I wished Holding was playing. Then, because of an injury to our ageing Brazilian, Holding started and it wasn’t long before I wished our Brazilian had been fit. The same could be said at right […]
Morning all. Premier League football is back, better still, The Arsenal are back. At least I think that’s a good thing. Arsenal v Liverpool, two clubs which have had a very up and down season so far. Liverpool’s defence of their title has been poor but they’ve suffered injury after injury which has hardly helped. […]
Morning all. Easter is upon us which means lots of chocolate. I jest, of course Good Friday means something very different to an overpriced oval shaped hollow chocolate egg but I don’t want to get all religious on you so I won’t. The sun is supposed to shine and families can meet up again so […]
Morning all, Thank goodness that’s over! Now Mikel Arteta can focus on the league and Europa Cup. Just two months left of this crazy season, nine league fixtures and twenty seven points to play for. Wouldn’t it be a great end to the season if Arsenal could take the full 27 points from the remaining […]
Morning all. 31st March, a day of remembrance for all Arsenal fans old enough and privileged to have seen David ‘Rocky’ Rocastle in the red and white of Arsenal. It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since he lost his battle with Cancer. Rocky might be gone, but he’ll never be forgotten. Yesterday, more […]
Morning all. It’s a big day here in the England as the first stage of lockdown restrictions being lifting begins. For the older generation, especially those who’ve spent the last year on their own, they can see family and friends. Limitations are still in place but it’s a start. The weather here in England is […]
Morning all. He’s a guy isn’t he. If Mikel Arteta had another five or six players in the squad with Kieran Tierney’s attitude, desire and passion for the game along with the respect he clearly has for his manager and the club, Arsenal would be a lot further up the table than they are […]
