Winning sets the narrative, as Arteta works out the Arsenal Rubik’s Cube

I had a dream last night that we played Burnley, we were beating them 2-0 and into injury time, when Bukayo Saka went down and we were arguing for a penalty in stoppage time. The ref waved it away, but then was called to the monitor, to see that the second goal we scored hit [...]

Arsenal hit the wrong side of the fine margins

The overriding feeling I have this morning is one of frustration. Frustration that we didn't remove the hoodoo of not winning at Anfield. Frustration that we didn't make a solid first half a great second. Frustration at the injuries. Frustration at a prevailing media narrative that 'Arsenal got what they deserved', like we didn't cancel [...]

Keeping everyone happy at Arsenal

Happy Hincapie Saturday folks! Although Arteta was tight-lipped on that arrival, the Ornbomb has already dropped and it appears we're loan-optioning him for the season and clearly we'll drop the actual cash on Leverkusen's lap in the summer of 2026, which makes sense given that we probably don't have the cash lying around to make [...]

Even Arsenal fans don’t know how we’ll line up…

With it being Wednesday and still a good four days until the game against Liverpool, I've still been drinking in some of the Eze stuff, whilst also watching the odd tactical review of the game against Leeds. I said before that game that I thought it was difficult to know what Leeds team would turn [...]

Big squads and Ecuadorians

I thought about watching the Newcastle v Liverpool game, but ended up doing a BBQ instead and when we'd finished eating, I flicked on the TV to see Liverpool two-goals up and Newcastle down to ten men so I said to myself "no chance I'm watching the rest of that game" and switched it off [...]

Injuries this early show that the squad depth is integral for The Arsenal

I spent the day out yesterday having a walk with the Management. We went to the pub for lunch and she kept saying "why do you keep looking at your phone? What are you watching?" "Videos of the Eze signing" **Wife rolls eyes** It was good content to absorb yesterday and with the bank holiday [...]

Arsenal must overcome the ‘adversity from behind’ test this season

I watched a few bits of the Leeds vs Everton game last night, mainly because we have Leeds at the weekend and aside from the dodgy penalty given, I have to say Leeds' desire to be quite free-flowing and forward-looking was quite refreshing. Obviously as an Arsenal fan you hope they bring that to the [...]

How much stock to take in other teams’ friendlies?

Morning folks and welcome to Monday. I had family over and coupled that with a bit of a two-day hangover, so didn't blog this weekend, but thankfully not a lot really happened in the Arsenal world, as the players headed back to the UK and today they kick off the proper pre season prep ahead [...]

Focus on your own garden

This time of the year is always a bit funny, I find, because people lose their minds over stuff that hasn't even happened yet. But what is worse is when people lose their minds over what others are doing. I get it to a point though. Until something concrete happens with your own team, you [...]

Arsenal’s rapid Zubimendi pursuit is welcome

Here was me getting all hot under the collar over Gyokeres and Sesko yesterday, whilst all along Arsenal were making their moves for a certain Martin Zubimendi behind closed doors. I should start talking about left backs. Maybe that'll be enough reverse-jinx for us to do a striker deal in the next 48 hours... The [...]
