Patiently waiting and hoping for a clean Arsenal bill of health

So, we're done with this frigging pointless friendlies and, as suspected Gareth Southgate kept Declan Rice on the pitch for the full 96 minutes last night. I flicked on and awatched about 10 minutes of the first half as I was cooking to see Pickford have a howler, then I heard about Lewis Dunk's howler, [...]

Arteta giving injury hope update, whilst not getting carried away against Sheffield United

First and foremost, before we get cracking on the team news following Arteta's presser yesterday, a word for Declan Rice, who won the London footballer of the year award at a ceremony last night. A fully deserved award who helped bring a trophy to West Ham and who has joined Arsenal for a big fee [...]

Arsenal hand out another Tonking to some Magpies

That was a lot of fun yesterday, wasn’t it? We wanted revenge, we came for revenge, we got revenge. There was no ‘desgracia’ yesterday at The Emirates, because an excellent Arsenal team dispatched a shaky Newcastle team, leaving the home fans once again in dreamland as chants of “who put the ball in the Geordie’s [...]

Realising what Arsenal are going to get on Sunday against West Ham

Morning folks. Happy Friday - hope you're all good? We did an interesting pod last night with Alan Alger and Anthony Gale (son of Tony Gale, ex-West Ham player), which was a match preview, a bit of discussion over xG and its uses, as well as the over celebration discussion that has been rumbling on [...]

The Arsenal defensive chicken or egg situation

Morning folks and happy Thursday to you and yours. I flicked on the Villa/Chelsea game last night and watched about 20 minutes of it as I was doing other stuff in the house. What a weird two teams those two are, eh? Chelsea, who looked absolutely ridiculous at the weekend at home to Wolves and [...]

All eyes on Arteta’s presser ahead of ‘make or break’ game this weekend

By |2024-02-02T08:43:40+00:00February 2nd, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Here we are at Friday, the transfer window has closed, we've made no incomings, there have been a fair few outgoings, but they've all been younger players on loan or released because they had contracts running down/would have been low value releases anyway, so all-in-all it's been a quiet one and I think if we're [...]

Arsenal vs The embodiment of Low Block FC

Happy matchday folks! Hope you're all good? Excited for The Arsenal finally being back today? I know I bloody am! It feels like it's been AGES! It's almost as if it's been worse than an international break, for some weird reason, as I recently pointed out here. But it's back, The Arsenal are back, there's [...]

Can Arsenal benefit from fatigue ‘marginal gains’ in the next couple of matches?

Eugh, this is becoming intolerable now, this absence of football. I don't know why, but it feels even worse than an international break period. And there was even football on last weekend, which was supposed to at least keep me preoccupied until The Arsenal roll back in to town, but alas it has made things [...]

Arsenal to swing by Jeddah on the way home for Benzema?

I didn't expect Newcastle to do us any favours yesterday, did you? Nah, didn't think so. Even when they went 2-1 up and there was only 30 minutes left to play, I was like "they'll probably lose". And they di, with the cheat code that is De Bruyne. I don't know about his barnet choices, but [...]

Do Arsenal’s attackers need a hypnotist?

In some sort of twisted dark humour attempt at comedy my timeline on Twitter reminded me just now that on this day in 2007 we went to Anfield and put six goals past Liverpool to make it through to the League Cup Semi Final. Julio Baptista, Alex Song and Jeremie Aliadiere all got on the [...]
