We didn't get the Mikel Arteta press conference that I swore I saw somebody say was going to happen yesterday, but what we did get was sight of Gabriel Jesus in full first team training, which is lovely to see. I doubt it will mean anything for this weekend, because he'll need probably a few [...]
Happy Thursday all - hope you're all good? I think we're getting a Mikel Arteta press conference this morning ahead of the Sunderland game and I don't know about you, but the main question I'd like answered is: How long is Viktor Gyokeres going to be out injured for? The talk is that it's after [...]
Morning campers, hope you're all well on this here Champions League match day, in which a visit to Prague is on the cards for the team for one of the earlier kick offs today. Firstly, we have to ponder who on earth is now going to be playing up front, after Big Vik succumbed to [...]
Match day ten this season brings about yet another familiar challenge to it that we have faced for some years now: An away day low block. It used to be a tenet of Premier League football that when teams are at home, they are a little more expansive; their fans urge them to drive forward, [...]
So, we have ourselves a League Cup tonight and following Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, we've got a bit of speculation over who he's going to start that is the key topic for today, for sure. Arteta gave an update following on from Sunday's win over Palace and with a number of players coming off [...]
Happy Saturday folks. I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing you have something enjoyable planned. Me, I’m going to get myself out for a run, then I’m going to settle down to watch some football at home this afternoon, as the Management and the mother-in-law are in London watching Black Sabbath: The [...]
We're back again for a match day and it's a tricky one in the shape of Simeone's Atletico Madrid who come to town looking to spoil our party and recent form by picking up three points in this horrible large-league format. Arteta knows that a win today would be a big one and with 15/16 [...]
Here we go boys and girls - match day eight and the incentive is obvious and there for all to see: Top of the league by five points if we win away at Fulham. That hurdle is by no means an easy one to overcome however. indeed, we've failed to do so on our last [...]
Happy Friday folks - we all good? The Arsenal Women are, as they got back to winning ways with a 2-0 away win in Benfica, so hopefully that is a sign of a glorious Arsenal weekend ahead of a trip to Fulham on Saturday evening for the men's team. And as is my wont ahead [...]
Matchday Saturday, a 3pm kick-off, a game in which you'd normally be expecting Arsenal to pick up all three points against a struggling West Ham side and yet, here we all are, a little nervous about history repeating itself. Mikel was asked yesterday what he felt about the fact that Arsenal had lost 50% of [...]
