A game of transitions today against strong identity Palace?

Having successfully navigated and thoroughly enjoyed Hate Watch Saturday, I am now fully focused on match day Sunday and I gotta tell ya, the nerves are proper kicking in already. Last season, every time Liverpool slipped up, we weren't able to capitalise. I remember seeing that Liverpool had slipped up in match week 16 and drawn [...]

Arsenal’s not-so-secret on set pieces

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 [...]

Jesus’ return is nice, Palace fans are bullish, and their xG form suggests a reason for that…

I'm going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it's party town history than it's football team, but there you go), but before [...]

Arsenal are in good nick at both ends of the pitch

To demonstrate how fast football moves... Yesterday I woke up feeling terrible. I'd started to come down with a fever on Tuesday afternoon and by the time the Arsenal game on I was running a high temperature and got barely any sleep, going to bed straight after the game. That mean that yesterday morning I [...]

How much rotation can keep the whole squad happy?

Well now, that turned out to be a lovely ol' weekend of football we've just had, didn't it? It may not have been the most exciting game that we engaged with on Saturday night, but given how serenely we went about collecting our away points at Fulham, it was much preferred over the kamikaze way [...]

Functional Arsenal do the job against Fulham

Sometimes football can feel like a slog. Like some kind of grind. Something you just have to endure. Sometimes it feels like it goes on forever. "This game feels like it's been going on for four hours" The Management said to me on around 84 minutes. Arsenal had huffed and puffed their way through a [...]

Arsenal players got what they needed from these internationals

We're nearly there folks. International football is nearly in our rear view mirror. Well, for at least month, that is. But it appears on face value as though this latest round of games as been positive, so let's run through who did what, shall we? Starting off with the mid-morning kick off our time with [...]

Odegaard’s absence can be absorbed, but only just

By |2025-10-14T07:15:56+01:00October 14th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, injuries, Internationals, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

I think we're going to get to the point in which, despite having stockpiled a billion players over the summer, this squad is soon going to start looking thin. Such is the curse with injuries we are getting, with Odegaard now rumoured to be out until after the next international break in November, that if [...]
