Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]

A week is a long time in football – sometimes that’s not long enough

It's funny how the rapid nature of football ('A week is a long time..' and all that) can work for you and against you, isn't it? I went to bed last night and as I started to drift off, I was thinking about what a big and positive result the game on Sunday was, because [...]

Arsenal overcome controversy to stake an early claim in the title race against Newcastle

Where to even start after yesterday, eh? I think I want to be broadly positive today, because when you snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat with a last minute goal in extra time, then you have to be feeling positive rather than dwell on some of the negatives. So I'm going to get [...]

We have an opportunity at St James’ Park

We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]

Arteta’s reference of Barcelona could be telling for Newcastle trip tomorrow

Happy Saturday folks, hope you're doing well and after Mikel Arteta all but confirmed what we were talking about yesterday re: Saliba, that's one positive we can all take about the official announcement that the Frenchman will remain with us for a fair old dose of time yet. I liked what Arteta said about how [...]

Big Bill signs on as Arsenal’s progress is clear

I want to talk about Big Bill Saliba and the news that broke yesterday, but before I do that, a sad word for a young man who lost his life this week - Billy Vigar - who was once an Arsenal academy graduate. I posted about it last night, but this is tragic that a [...]

Arteta learning and a Martinelli central test run against Port Vale?

Ok, so we’re over 24 hours now since the disappointing 1-1 draw against City and - ridiculous comments from Bernardo Silva about the turnaround time they had compared to us to prep for the game (hello? We played Atalanta away on the Thursday before we travelled up to Manchester in the corresponding fixture last year [...]

Passive first halves and selection questions leave Arsenal with just a point against Man City

In the fullness of time a draw against Man City may not appear to be the worst result in the world. Indeed, when you get an equaliser in the dying ebbs of the game, it feels like more of a boost than it should. But given where City were, given how the game played out [...]

Can Arsenal hold serve and win at home to City?

This is a tough one today. I said I’m going to see it as I think it on Friday, referencing the weird ‘reverse psychology’ I try to put out into the world by feeling pessimistic in hopes of some reverse karma benefiting the Arsenal, but here I am this morning still trying to impact a [...]

How does Arteta solve a possible Ødegaard absence?

Well we have heard from the managers now, with both doing their usual niceties talking about each other, which we’ve all come to expect given how close they are as friends. Pep did a little flippant comment about how if Mikel wins the league it is not because of him or his team, but because [...]
