Morning folks! Soon cometh the weekend, eh? But there goeth the Greek smiler from Arsenal. Yep, the latest departure at the club was confirmed yesterday and it was our Greek central defender Sokratis who the club confirmed it had terminated his contract by mutual consent. The right move, he's never properly been in Mikel's plans [...]
It's Wednesday, the middle of the week, another three days until we meet Southampton in the FA Cup. So what did I do when I woke up this morning? Something I haven't really done all season: I looked at the league table. It's a bit mental. Usually by February you start to see one or [...]
Let's start off today with a good ol' fashioned footballing cliche, eh? How about the one about football being a 'game of two halves? Because that's certainly what was served up by our boys in red and white yesterday and thankfully the latter was better than the former for us fans, resulting in three points, [...]
As the saga I spoke about rumbles further on with pictures and the like coming out yesterday early evening, mercifully we have something else to focus on, which is an important game at home to Newcastle United tonight. It's a game that if I'm completely honest with you about, I'm not exactly massively confident about. [...]
Well now, what sort of Arsenal-related news could we possibly talk about, given that they aren't playing until Monday and Arteta already did his presser on Thursday that we had a chin wag about yesterday? Oh, I dunno, how about a certain German playmaker with whom nearly all of the major media outlets confirmed yesterday [...]
Mikel obviously wanted a weekend without Arsenal as well after that snoozefest on Thursday night, because he did his pre match presser then and yesterday we got the video and transcription on the official site ahead of the game on Monday night against Newcastle. The good news is that Kieran Tierney isn’t going to be [...]
Ahh man that was boring to watch last night. I tweeted that Arsenal are an ugly team with a handsome manager and last night's 0-0 snoozefest against Crystal Palace certainly felt like it was backed up by an Arsenal team so lacking in creative spark that you wondered if we were actually watching a pre [...]
It's Crystal Palace at home today and it is the type of game that four or five years ago I'd be pretty confident about us getting a win. But last season and this has pretty much dented any of that "we're The Arsenal, we win this game today" mindset that I had developed over a [...]
In the words of Professor Farnsworth from Futurama: Good News Everyone! Yep, that good news is the return of Gabriel Martinelli in just a few short days and I don't think there isn't a Gooner alive who didn't see the news from the club yesterday and have their heart skip an extra beat of joy, [...]
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly Mikel Arteta held his press conference ahead of the Palace game on Thursday. Normally it is a day or two before the match itself but I wonder if he just wanted to 'get it out of the way' so he could focus on the challenge that Palace provide us this week. After [...]
