I feel weird writing about Arsenal this morning. Weird because I don't know exactly how I feel. Often I will feel happiness, elation, anger, sadness, frustration, but today I feel a little bit of everything. And that's weird. Ultimately I guess the emotion that overrides all is sadness because we once again lost at Stamford [...]
Unai Emery delivered his second press conference of the new season yesterday and I think it's fair to say it was a mixed bag for us. The positives are that he's getting to grips with the language more every week and it feels like he should be able to deliver a pretty flawless presser by [...]
Happy Thursday y'all! It's technically still summer in the UK but given the drizzle that has engulfed my particular corner of the world, you'd never have guessed it, because it's looking pretty grim. As grim as Carl Jenkinson's hopes of getting out of Football limbo, where he currently resides, too expensive salary-wise to leave Arsenal [...]
I wonder if Ivan, Raoul and Sven have been playing Football Manager over the summer, because that's the only fathomable explanation why they've decided to issue a 'not-quite-official' declaration that Unai Emery's job is safe. There were a few reputable places online reporting it yesterday and when I read it whilst on my way to [...]
Morning all. Happy Tuesday unto thee. Hopefully you're feeling grand and the usual bitter taste after a weekend defeat doesn't feel as lingering in your mouth as it usually does for me. I'm all for the idea of the season taking a reboot after next weekend, you see, because with a new formation, new style [...]
I expected us to lose against City because they're two years into the development of their team under Pep. His training, his identity of his team, the way they press, the acquisition of the types of players he wants; all of it was quite clearly evident yesterday as City we're controlled, they took their chances [...]
Morning all! Excited? I know I am. Of course I'm also absolutely bricking myself as to what lies ahead because quite frankly, the Premier League random fixture generator couldn't have made it more difficult for us if it tried. Man City were so many streaks ahead of everyone else last season that it's hard to [...]
So, we have a press conference ahead of a proper game to digest, eh? Uni took to the press conference and spoke to the assembled hacks to talk about the game this weekend and once again, he sounded like his English is improving at each time and once again I was impressed with a guy [...]
That was that then. The transfer window closed an unsurprisingly, given that so many people talked up 'madness' and went on about a defender and Dembele from Barca, there were only outgoings yesterday from Arsenal. Lucas Perez ended an unhappy two years at the club by signing for West Ham for a paltry £4million and [...]
It's transfer deadline day today - a lot earlier than it's ever been - and despite some of the murmurings of a Dembele here, or centre half there, I think Arsenal's revolving door at Colney will be more busy by the 'exit' part than the 'entry'. We've got too many players. Jenkinson, Brammall, Perez, Welbeck, [...]
