Think we should welcome the lad and hope he is a great success . Coming from where he is he might just have the work ethic that some of our other players lack in spades. Let's just hope beyond hope that's he's the next Ashley Cole and not the next Kieran Gibbs who typifies our slow sideways undynami...

Well I tried.....tried to recreate something special from 30 years ago. Had managed to convince my eldest lad about how great this cup could be with stories of beating the Scum at the Lane, Liverpool at Wembley etc. Took him up there tonight......greasy spoon dinner on the Holloway Road, talk of an...

Don Howe RIP

Wonder what the crowd will be for their last Group game at Wembley v CSKA

Well played Iceland. England abject.

Jack has come on but is sitting deep, passing sideways and not driving at their defence. Roy does tactics like Wenger.

He'll be back on the bench on Wednesday night and when he warms up down the touch line he'll be warmly applauded by the AKB's instead of getting an earful .

Going to the game fully expecting us to lose by 2 or 3 goals. The pre match atmosphere will get the crowd up for it but I fear it will be pretty quiet when they are 2 up after 20 minutes and we can't get the ball off them. Reckon Wenger will set the team up the same as Bayern with 2 lines across the...

In yesterday's game he was put through and had a one v one chase with Curtis Davies that I reckon last year he would have won easily. Davies was able to keep stride for stride and win the ball which suggested to me that Wally has lost half a yard of pace which , let's face it, has been his only bit ...

How many shit touches by Walcott already today. At least Ox has started a bit better. Again there Walcott loses possession and they almost get in.

A lad I know has just registered on the waiting list and tells me he is something like 82,000 on the list. I struggled to believe it had got that high (when I went on about 10 years ago I was about 36,000) considering how less succesful we have been in the last decade so it could be a long wait for ...

We've signed that top, top player that we've all been asking for Fara Williams is going to take us to a glorious premiership title

Certain to see Ospina, Gibbs, Chambers and Gabriel start this one. I think he might play Walcott at CF and rest Giroud. Theo has been shite in the last few games so it might do him good to get a game in his 'favoured' position. I would expect at least 1 kid to start and that will probably be Iwobi. ...

Don Howe was our coach when I first started following the club in the late 60's. He will always be associated with The Arsenal. Football has lost 2 great figures this week in Don and Jimmy Hill. RIP.

Did the Liverpool players hold hands and celebrate in front of their fans today ?
