Raya saves Arsenal’s blushes on an otherwise noneventful evening in Italy

That was a tough ol' watch yesterday, eh? Arsenal went to Bergamo, they played a tricky opponent with a very specific approach that is ingrained in their system; they play high-intensity, man-for-man (something Mikel reflected on afterwards in the post-match presser), looking to nullify us by winning those individual duals and hoping that we didn't [...]

How much rotation will Arsenal see tonight against Atalanta?

Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]

Kicking of the Champions League thoughts

Tomorrow it's Atalanta in the new phase of the Champions League and for some reason unbeknownst to myself, I decided to watch Villa away to Young Boys and then Liverpool away to Milan. Well, the first half of that one, anyway. I say 'unbeknownst' mainly because watching other teams in the Champions League isn't really [...]

Meticulous Arteta will have little time for analysis this week

Whilst basking in a North London Derby victory is plenty of fun and I intend on doing it a bit more today, there's no rest for the wicked this week, with Atalanta on Thursday and so probably Mikel and the team leaving for Italy either later today or first thing tomorrow. I wonder if they [...]

Arsenal NLD delight – I could get used to this

I've been listening to a song recently by Becky Hill called "I could get used to this". Three North London Derby away wins in three seasons for The Arsenal. I definitely could get used to this. I said pre game yesterday and in the days leading up to this that I hate this game in [...]

What Arsenal, and what Tottenham, show up for today’s NLD?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]

Arteta’s inevitable ‘close cards’ ahead of the NLD

Happy North London Derby Saturday folks. Well, I say 'happy', but when it's away to them, it's never really happy is it? We hate them, they hate us and aside from going to the Toilet Bowl two season's in a row and getting a win, that place has been a very unhappy hunting ground in the last [...]

Mikel’s Arsenal journey continues – and we should be delighted

By |2024-09-13T07:21:36+01:00September 13th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, contracts, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

There's only one place to start this morning, which is with the confirmation from the club yesterday that Mikel ARteta had signed a new contract, taking his deal with The Arsenal to 2027. This is fantastic news. He had been talking about how it was going to get done, there had been plenty of journalists [...]

The North London Derby doesn’t need a trigger-happy referee

Here we go folks, strap yerselves in, because we're now on the countdown the North London Derby and that means any of the football media outlets you usually tune in to will be awash with COMBINED NORTH LONDON DERBY XI'S, ex-players talking about how this is 'make or break' for both teams, discussions around why [...]

Who replaces Odegaard in midfield on Sunday? Some options…

So...I think that we're done now on these insufferable international breaks. And we have certainly suffered. First Calafiori, then Odegaard, but I think and hope that every other Arsenal player came through them and now we have the daunting task of picking up the pieces and assessing how we are going to go about preparing for the North [...]
