So it sounds as if we've got some returning players due to come back for the Bournemouth game, which is a bit of a relief given that Partey didn't go to Ghana international duty due to illness and Havertz withdrew with knee problems. I talked about Havertz yesterday, so won't repeat myself, but Partey also [...]
Well, well, well, it's all kicking off in the Premier League courtroom now, isn't it? Yesterday as I was about to start cooking dinner after work I did my usual switch on of the TV in the kitchen, to see that the first skirmish between the Premier League and 115 Charges FC has concluded, with [...]
Having already done our job on Saturday, yesterday was a lovely day in which to watch Premier League football that didn't really have too much at stake and didn't actually impact us that massively. Liverpool and City had both won on Saturday like us, so I had mild desire to see the likes of Chelsea, [...]
Yesterday's 3-1 against Southampton had a real air of familiarity of it to me, following from last weekend's shenanigans: At home to a newly promoted opponent Expected to win and win comfortably Lovely weather 3pm kick off Opponent scoring and taking maximum chances from their minimum opportunities Arsenal pretty much dominant Late drama There were, [...]
It's another home match day today and it's the visit of the Saints and Aaron Ramsdale to The Emirates at three o'clock this afternoon, as we aim to continue our form going in to the international break. Yesterday I took a look at our opponents and the type of game we're likely to face, their [...]
Mikel Arteta will take to the stage today at London Colney for his pre match presser at some stage this Friday and ahead of that I thought I'd take a look at who we're up against tomorrow, in the shape of a newly promoted Southampton side, with a very familiar face about them in between [...]
As I went for my run this morning I was listening to my usual podcasts on all things The Arsenal (I usually get through two to three a week, mostly four or five depending on how much time I get to run with work in the way) and I was listening to one of them [...]
Last season I wrote about Arteta's archetypal 'perfect' game being against Brighton; it was complete dominance against a team who wanted to have possession of the football, wanted to control the narrative of the game on the ball and Arsenal allowed Brighton to create basically nothing. We got two goals, albeit slightly later than Arteta [...]
Here we go again folks - match day! This is a big one because it's PSG at home and I think I'm right in saying it is the first time we've faced PSG since they became one of the financially doped football clubs backed by an Arab state. We welcome them tonight for an 8pm [...]
Decided to put the United v the Scum game on last night as I was cooking a roast dinner. Kind of wish I hadn't bothered, because it was ruined by a red card that effectively stopped it being too much of a ding dong game. At first I thought Fernandez was a bit reckless with [...]
