After the final results from yesterday's 2pm kick offs was confirmed, I had a quick check in to see what the 'vibes' were like and to my surprise, there was a lot of doom and gloom going on amongst some corners of The Arsenal fanbase. I saw people saying it's City's title, that they'd win [...]
That was objectively bad yesterday. No 'ifs', not 'buts' - Arsenal just sucked a bit against a team who have made scoring goals and keeping them out look like Mission Impossible this season. I spoke about Wolves' form, about the problems they have, about the fact that they an injury to a key player and how [...]
Mikel Arteta was his usual coy and non-committal self when it came to the injury update in yesterday's press conference. So we got merely the continued "matter of days" schtick with regards to Saliba, Trossard and Timber, whilst Rice was the same with the manager admitting that it was an illness that he picked up [...]
It's Friday, it's press conference day and with Mikel Arteta having bedded back in some of our strikers in midweek's Champions League win, I'm interested to see in what kind of mood he might be today. Hopefully it is a jovial one, because the frustration and annoyance of last Saturday's defeat has been countered with [...]
Well that went just about as perfect as I'd imagine Mikel Arteta could have hoped for last night. Get the win to get back on the winning wagon - tick. Rotate the team to rest up some of those important legs - tick. Give minutes to those who might be a little 'cold' in terms [...]
Feels like there's a couple of ways that Mikel Arteta can look at tonight's game: Get the points and automatic qualification lined up so we can properly rest players for the final two matches Rotated heavily to preserve some players for Wolves and Everton in the league, which as I mentioned yesterday, has a full week [...]
Before we talk The Arsenal and look ahead to the game tomorrow night in Belgium, let's spend a minute or two talking about the Mo Salah situation, eh? Because as Arsenal fans, we've seen this stuff play out a couple of times and we know how it goes: Big Name ageing player on big money [...]
In the immediate aftermath of Saturday's result, as well as yesterday, I decided to pretty much just stay away from all things football. I was with my family for the weekend, it was a bit of a family party, I didn't want to ruin it by thinking too much about the last-gasp winner, because I [...]
Didn't manage to compile some thoughts on Villa, what the pundits are saying and also how they play under Unai Emery this season, before the managers did their press conferences. But a lot of what unfolded yesterday with the pressers was kind of pushed to the background when, yesterday afternoon, Sami Mokbel broke the news [...]
That was one of those ‘on paper’ routine nights, wasn’t it? Arsenal had a job to do. They needed to avoid a banana skin. They needed to de-risk the whole evening. They needed to make this a perfunctory three points. Brentford are not a team to be trifled with. Yes, they have a pretty shoddy [...]
