Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and I was thinking about the Big Gabi injury. I thought to myself "it feels like every time we get an injury update from a Fabrizio Romano or an Ornstein Bomba with regards to injuries over the last 12 - 18 months, it's always been worse than is first [...]
Had a couple of days of extreme hangover on Sunday and then yesterday, so really didn't feel like coming on here to lament about Big Gabi, but I guess you have to eventually face up to the inevitable. I watched a short clip of Martin Keown on that national radio station that has become a [...]
With Jurrien Timber the only concern for us last night in terms of injury worries, today becomes a bit of a quiet one, with a number of players playing today, including Big Gabi I suspect at The Emirates stadium, as we host the Selecao against Senegal. It's a bit of a Big Gabi fest in these [...]
So the Arsenal boys did the business last night for England. Not that I was watching. Now that England are qualified these matches become nothing more than glorified friendlies and all that leaves me thinking is: Why the HELL is Saka playing the full 90? Rice was taken off on 65 minutes, so that's good, [...]
This morning I find myself thinking about Gabriel Martinelli. One of the longest-serving players in this Arsenal squad, it's easy to forget that the Brazilian is still just 24 years old and doesn't turn 25 until next June. He broke through with us properly at 18 under Emery and had some early impressive Europa League [...]
Couple of bits for us to dig into today, starting with Sky Sports reporting that there are a few clubs monitoring his situation after he's been warned by Thomas Tuchel that he needs to play more to make the World Cup. I have a few feelings on this. Firstly, the lad is 19-years-old. This isn't [...]
With the Interdull now well underway and Arsenal fans having to spend their time looking at farcical programmes like Sky Sports' Ref Watch, one could be forgiven for switching away completely from all things football for a while. Arteta spoke after the Sunderland match about 'resetting' and I guess a lot of that is with the [...]
I watched the City-Liverpool game unfold with intrigue yesterday. At the beginning of the day, in my head, this was very much a 'we can't lose either way' kind of feeling. A draw means both teams drop points. A Liverpool win means we're still five off them. A City win, whilst the least palatable, would [...]
When you concede a goal in stoppage time, you always have to say you're disappointed with the result, but perhaps in the fullness of time this 2-2 draw we had at Sunderland yesterday won't be seen as the dropped points it feels like this morning. I was impressed with Sunderland as a side. They are [...]
Match day Saturday for The Arsenal and I come to you from just north of Newcastle, in the North East, albeit not going to the game today. Which is frustrating. But not as frustrating as it might be today if we can't capitalise on the fact that we're playing before both City and Liverpool, who [...]
