This evening could very well see Arsenal secure top spot in the Europa League Group stages with a win or a draw against PSV in Eindhoven and with Arsenal looking a little leggy at the weekend as a result of the volume of games (in my opinion), the game must represent somewhat of a conundrum [...]

Arteta’s good squad management – so far…

Decided to Google 'Arsenal news' this morning to see what the chatter was online.  Wish I hadn't have bothered. It was all talk about potential transfer signings in January. I mean, come on, we're still in October for Christ's sake. Talking about potential signings now is like when supermarkets start putting Christmas items on the [...]

A 3-0 win masquerading as a 1-0 for Arsenal

Just after the final whistle had blown last night I described the 1-0 win over PSV as a ‘3-0 win masquerading as a 1-0’ and the more and more I’ve thought about it, the more this feels like exactly what Arsenal delivered yesterday. We were totally dominant from start to finish and probably deserved two [...]

PSV are no mugs – time for Nketiah and Sambi to step up

It's match day, it's p*ssing it down, but I'm as excited as always to have The Arsenal playing this evening. Sure, it may be at a slightly irritating time - what with it being a 6pm kick off and therefore straight after work, but it is still an Arsenal match and that means hopefully an [...]

Will Southampton dictate Mikel’s selection against PSV?

By |2022-10-19T08:06:20+01:00October 19th, 2022|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Europa League, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

With all  Premier League teams in action this midweek, I had a little look at who Southampton were up against tonight, because we play them at the weekend and that might impact the team selection that Hassenhuttl makes, as well as how he's going to rotate before we play them on Sunday. I saw it [...]

Happy Tuesday folks, hope you're having a good one and you're planning on making this a great day. We only get so many of them on this planet so try to make as many of them as memorable as possible. Difficult without the footy, granted, but at least the matches are stacking up now and [...]

Bit of Bodo in the coldo for Arsenal this evening

Morning folks and welcome to another match day, in this mental busy period of the season which, so far, has been rather a lot of fun for us. It’s a trip to Norway for the lads today and another one of those horrendously pesky 5.55pm kick offs that they have in the Europa League. Gotta [...]

Time to stop the media excuses and appreciate the Arsenal

Morning Gooners, how we all doing today then? How we all feeling? I'm feeling pretty good, although I have to admit to a fair bit of frustration today, which is of course English media related. Honestly, have you ever seen a club with so many people prepared to defend whatever they do and find excuses [...]

Arsenal tick all the boxes in routine win over Bodo/Glimt

By |2022-10-07T08:40:30+01:00October 7th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Europa League, Match Review, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

With October and November due to be pretty intense months and the games coming thick and fast, what any team really wants from kicking off such an intense period of the season, is for games to pan out nice and stress free with maybe some decent wins and opportunities to rotate players in. At the [...]

Arsenal need to keep the player engines running

By |2022-10-05T08:06:54+01:00October 5th, 2022|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Europa League, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

With our next game of this hectic schedule taking place tomorrow evening in the Europa League, we're back into the swing of all the football in October pretty quickly, so I thought ahead of our next match, against the first opponent I've ever seen who seem to face an identity crisis in their team name, [...]
