Those of a certain religious persuasion would probably use the following phrase to discuss the now (thankfully) ended transfer MegaLull, when it comes to Arsenal players' performances: The Good Lord Giveth, and he taketh away. The 'Taketh away' bit is, of course, the injuries to Havertz, then Tzolis, then Konsa too, who I haven't mentioned this [...]
Well it sounds like Kai Havertz is going to be out for three to four weeks with his hamstring injury, if some of the noises from the socials are to be believed. If that has been confirmed by the club, if it is three weeks, say, then we're looking at him being back by 24th [...]
This Man City stuff is going to dominate the headlines for a while yet, isn't it? Especially given that the City higher-ups are showing no contrition, no remorse, and instead are doubling down on their situation. Their latest 'lever' to pull is to get Etihad Airways involved, who are briefing to the press that they [...]
Right...so...this is an Arsenal blog, yeah? And I talk about The Arsenal on here and try to avoid going in too deep on other teams. But after the news emerged yesterday from David Ornstein that Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 of 115 charges, with an appeal set to take place (inevitably), I [...]
I don't know about you, but given what happened last weekend, I was hoping that the desire to talk about something else - even England - would have kicked in a little more by now. I'm going to try to give it a go, but whether I'll be able to hit my normal 1,000 words [...]
As the fallout from the defeat on Saturday continues in the social media discourse of Arsenal fans, I am still not feeling as angry as I thought I would be, which is strange. Perhaps it is because we've had a few years of this Arsenal team being really good defensively, and so this feels very much [...]
That was the worst Arsenal performance I've seen in nearly two years. It was so bad that I'd describe my feelings as stunned rather than ragingly angry. Arsenal put in the kind of display yesterday that makes me think that they all went out on the lash on Friday night. Passing was off, movement wasn't [...]
I know we're playing later, so this schadenfreude might age like four-day-old milk being left out on the back patio in summer, but man, it's funny to laugh at Chelsea. I was doing other things last night, so I only checked in and out on the game, but seeing them drop a 3-0 away to Brentford [...]
How is it Friday already? This is what happens when The Arsenal play - and play well - in midweek. The weekend comes around, and you're like, "blimey, that hit us quick, eh?" I guess we're also at the stage in the season where it isn't a grind. The season is still fresh, young, in [...]
I do not want to hear another word from rival fans - City in particular - about how Arsenal 'get all the decisions' or 'have ProRef in their pockets' after what I witnessed yesterday. "ProRef"....ha! If that isn't the most ironic rebrand you've ever seen... That decision by the VAR yesterday was as bad as [...]
