Momentum maintained with Monaco mauling

That, eventually, was a jolly nice evening in the end. Don’t get me wrong, we had some perceived wobbles at times and particularly in the first half of yesterday’s ‘scoreline’ hammering of Monaco, we looked like that might be one of those “we’re going to regret missing our chances aren’t we?” kind of games. But [...]

A makeshift cast of understudies for both Arsenal and Monaco tonight?

Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]

Another Fulham disappointment brings back Arsenal attacking questions again

I wasn't able to watch the game yesterday, as I was at a Christmas get together with the family (we're off over Christmas so this was a bit of a non-negotiable from The Management's family), but I've seen the goals and a few of the Arsenal chances, so today's musings will be very much 'vibes' [...]

Zero margin for error for Arsenal at Craven Cottage today

I said it in the aftermath of Friday's press conferences, that Fulham feels a little more difficult than when we looked at this run of games pre-international break, but I feel it even more this morning: This is going to be hard today. Fulham are decent at home. Four wins, one draw and two defeats [...]

Set piece evolution will have to come from Arsenal eventually

When Mikel Arteta started busting out "best at everything" lines in yesterday's press conference, it immediately invoked Stormzy's 'Shut Up' song and I had to have a little chuckle. I think from the transcript I read from the official site yesterday, there must have been at least half of the questions related to set pieces. [...]

Set Piece FC keep the points coming against United

That's three in a row in the Premier League now and after an initially poor / average first half, Arsenal turned it on in the second to secure all three points at home to a United team who are certainly more structurally organised under Amorim than under Ten Haag. The Portuguese manager had said there [...]

No margins for Arsenal – we have to beat United

BIG game today. Very big game. I touched on it yesterday about how the pundits are pretty much all siding with us and that 'Jones Knows' chat on Sky even went for a 4-1 thrashing. Lawrenson has gone 2-1 Arsenal Sutton has gone for a 3-1 to us. We should beat them. We have a better [...]

Arsenal must turn in to the hunters rather than the hunted this season

I watched almost all of the Liverpool v Man City game in a state of shock and surprise. You could see the visible embodiment of confidence and a lack thereof with the two teams on display. For that first half Liverpool completely dominated City, who looked shell-shocked, with some of the stats that popped up [...]
