Morning guys. Still seething? I just have this feeling of vast disappointment but not just because we were beaten by Fleetwood Town but the manner in which the defeat came about. We can all argue about the starting eleven for a long time but in my opinion, had every single player been [...]
Arteta took his title chasing team to the Lancashire coast to play a league cup tie at Highbury, but not the classical art deco Highbury of London N.5, no a much smaller almost non-league version. These games are extremely dangerous because any Premier League team should on paper, have far too much talent, [...]
Morning guys. Congratulations to Harry Kane, one of England’s finest strikers to play the game after he won the Ballon d’Or last night. How good is it that the only way he could nab a goal against us last week was from the penalty spot? Seriously though, since moving to Bayern he’s had a [...]
Morning guys. Hasn’t the weather been awful for the last few days. Gale force winds, driving rain and a feeling of yuck! The beautiful blue skies and heat of the summer seems a long time ago now. With a bit of luck, the sunshine will soon return even if it brings much colder temperatures with [...]
It was an inclement day in North London yesterday afternoon but despite the constant downpour in that part of the capital and beyond, the sun was actually shining on Ashburton Grove and onto the English Premier League champions. Earlier in the day it seemed that some long awaited justice was finally catching up on [...]
Morning guys. A 3pm kick off today which is a rarity these days. This same fixture last season was amazing for Max Dowman. A superb defensive clearance from Gabriel Martinelli into the path of our young superstar and he did the rest. As he bombed towards the Everton goal, Martinelli protected him all [...]
Arsenal carry a lot of mental scars from previously playing Bayern Munich and particularly from that period under Arsene Wenger when we seemed to draw them every season, I mean losing 10-2 on aggregate doesn’t go away does it? But last season we comprehensively beat them 3-1 at Ashburton Grove to maybe lay [...]
Morning guys. The December fixture changes for television viewing have been announced and Arsenal will be on our screens a lot. Not one step will be taken outside of London during the month as our Champions League fixture against Real Madrid, which is sandwiched between the Totts and Bournemouth fixtures, is at The Emirates. [...]
I’ve just recently started watching the Amazon series covering Arsenal’s 2021/22 season again and it’s quite illuminating to remember where we came from and where we currently are now. I think that series, despite some reservations within the club, was beneficial and helped in creating a closer bond between the fans, Arteta and the [...]
Morning guys. What on earth went on at the G-tec stadium yesterday? Brentford were 1-0 up, looking good for a win against Liverpool and then they shot themselves in the proverbial foot when Yehor Yarmoliuk head butted Jeremy Jacquet and was shown a straight red card. Earlier, Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 and Man City [...]
Morning guys. I’m off to a local market in Lymington shortly. Artisan bread, home made chutneys and if I’m lucky, there will be some local honey and chilli jam and many other things to sample along the way. I love bread, baking it as well as eating it so fingers crossed there’s [...]
Morning guys. Arsenal released the 2026/27 squad photos a couple of days ango and the absence of William Saliba has caused a little bit of a stir. For anyone who has suffered a really bad back problem, sitting down for a photoshoot is one of the last things one would want to do. It’s [...]
Morning all. I left these words in the comments section of yesterday’s post but here they are again. They describe the late Ken Friar’s vision through the clubs eyes. Ken Friar probably wouldn’t want people to dwell on his life’s achievements, as he very much embodied Arsenal’s ‘Always Forward’ motto. His maxim [...]
Morning guys. Davide Ancelotti, son of the Italian Carlo, brings his Lille team to The Emirates tonight for round two of the Champions League fixtures. 16 clubs won their opening fixture including Arsenal, but not Lille as they were beaten 3-2 at home by Real Betis. For anyone interested in Ancelotti jnr’s journey [...]
Morning all. Credit where credit is due…. Over the years, home or away, Arsenal versus Leeds has usually favoured the north London club. How many times during the buildup to Saturday’s fixture did you read or hear about the number of years it’s been since the Yorkshire club had a positive result against Arsenal? [...]
