We have to wait until Sunday before we line up against City at The Emirates, which I think is going to be a really REALLY tough game, but before then today we'll get more from Arteta when he has his press conference. The big question I think most of us are wondering is on the [...]
You can’t always win pretty, you can’t always steamroll teams and sometimes (especially away from home) you can’t always impose your game exactly as you want. Sometimes you just have to dig in, get a result, then get out of Dodge. That’s what it feels like Arsenal did last night and with two goals from [...]
It's Champions League match day one and we find ourselves up against a familiar adversary from the summer friendlies: Athletic Club in Bilbao. In the summer we saw an Arsenal side who swash buckled their way to a comfortable 3-0 victory at The Emirates with Big Vik also getting on the scoresheet in a game [...]
I had a dream last night that we played Burnley, we were beating them 2-0 and into injury time, when Bukayo Saka went down and we were arguing for a penalty in stoppage time. The ref waved it away, but then was called to the monitor, to see that the second goal we scored hit [...]
Yesterday morning I spoke of the fact that Forest could be a bit of a banana skin on account of the fact that we don't really know how they would play. In the fullness of time and with the benefit of hindsight, we can say that regardless of what they were going to do, this [...]
Here we are folks. It’s matchday. Like, a proper matchday, not like those fake match days that masquerade as if they’re matvhdays when in fact they’re international breaks. Oh how I have missed them. The nerves, the anticipation, the apprehension…it’s all here. Except…I’m at Heathrow as I type this, about to board a flight to [...]
Morning folks, hope we're all good and looking for to the re-commencement of the proper stuff tomorrow. We had some lovely videos and pictures of the players in training and as usual, as we all did our zooming in to see if there were any players not in the pictures or videos. It looks like a [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. With the international tedium now well behind us in the rear view mirror, thoughts shift back towards the Premier League and a return of an old adversary to The Emirates in 'Big Ange' Postecoglou. His reign at Forest is now underway and, as you'd expect, he's come out in [...]
Is it safe to come out? Did every Arsenal player make it out in one piece? It sounds like it to me. Even in the early hours of the morning with the Brazil game, mercifully Big Gabi and Martinelli were both unused subs, as the Selecao went on to lose 1-0 away to Bolivia. That sounds [...]
Take a bow Mikel Merino son! He bagged himself a hat trick for Spain last night and the second one in particular looked like a really good strike. Naturally that kind of output and the fact he also scored in their last game against Bulgaria has you thinking about his life in an Arsenal shirt [...]
