Morning folks and welcome to another interminable week of international nonsense before we get to next weekend and the return of the Premier League. What I always find fascinating about these breaks is not so much the football itself, but rather all the speculation that seems to be whipped up as a result of players [...]

Eddie’s fine start and Pepe’s sensible management

By |2019-09-07T08:34:53+01:00September 7th, 2019|Arsenal FC, Internationals, pre season, premier league, Unai Emery|0 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to another saturday, sadly one without The Arsenal, but at least we can pour over some Arsenal-related news. That's because Eddie Nketiah bagged himself another goal yesterday for the Under-21 England team against Turkey and I must tell you, despite the fact they are all poachers goals and tap ins, this [...]

Proper Europa League rotation this time for Arsenal?

Yesterday Arsenal confirmed their squad list for the Europa League and whilst mostly we can determine who would be on that list, there were one or two surprises in there, some of which I think are worth talking about today. And they're worth talking about because of how Emery might approach the competition this year. [...]

How do we/should we, utilise Xhaka, if at all?

How on earth is it Thursday already? I tell you what though, I'll take it, because this month has officially been declared "Sh*t September" by yours truly here, on account of the fact that in prep for a trip to the States in October I'm giving up booze, bread, cola, chocolate and crisps, all vices [...]

Nacho’s sad admission; international football’s confidence concerns

Nacho Monreal leaving us to go back to Spain was greeted with a lot more respect and acceptance than the poor way in which Laurent Koscielny left the club earlier in the transfer window. It was seen that he'd been professional right up until the last and whilst that certainly appears to be the case, [...]

Mkhitarayn’s exit spells opportunities for youth

Well I have to say well played to Raul Sanllehi once again because even though we all thought our business was done for the season both in and out, he pulled out another little surprise with the agreement that Henrikh Mkhitaryan is now a Roma player following a deadline day move. It's a move that, [...]

Sokratis and Xhaka cost Arsenal three North London Derby points

The morning after the afternoon before. It's post-North London Derby day and whilst a draw at home against them isn't in itself the worst result in the world, we're probably all wondering "what could have been" had we had some senior players in our team who kept their heads screwed on properly yesterday. We all [...]
