Suburban Gooners – Arsenal Blog
Now we see what this Arsenal are made of
I was feeling a little ropey yesterday and so when I thought about sitting down at my laptop and tapping away in my office about what happened on Saturday night away to Liverpool, I just didn't really have the desire or energy to muster up any kind of thoughts. What also helped my overarching desire [...]
Liverpool preview – at least we have hope…
So here we are. Back to match day and the excited nerves are kicking in already. Although I will admit that I'd have preferred us to get back in to the swing of the Premier League without having to play one of the hardest away games in world football right now. And it's probably made [...]
Partey’s back! Ramsdale’s helping to ‘mix it up’
Friday's are always better when you have some good news to brighten your day, or when you have something exciting going on at the weekend, eh? For me it's a bit of both, actually, as I'm off in to London for a 40th birthday party tomorrow evening which will be fun. But most important of [...]
Auba’s relief, sweating on Partey and Torreira’s exit
Happy Thursday folks. Hope you are well? Only two bits of news worth talking about in my eyes today and given that Arteta is not due to meet the press until tomorrow (my bad, I thought it would have been today), we won't really get too much of an update on the fitness of many [...]
Arsenal only succeed at Anfield if…
With it being Wednesday and the national team representatives on their way back to Arsenal, my mind is now turning to the daunting task of facing Liverpool on Saturday, looking at who might be fit and available for this difficult game. Of course the Liverpool press is talking up all of the players they might [...]
England like it, they like it, they like it….oooh, oooh…here we gooooo….
Morning Gooners, did you all watch the mauling of the San Marino Minnows yesterday by England, eh? I have to tell you, I experienced a wide range of emotions yesterday, whilst watching England smash the worst team in the FIFA World Rankings: Joy at the fact we had three Arsenal lads starting for the first [...]
Keeping Arsenal players fit for the Christmas countdown
Morning all, how we all doing then, eh? I have a bit of a headache this Monday morning. It's not the kind of selection headache Mikel Arteta seems to have these days (ba-dum, tsch!) but an actual headache caused by sleep depravation on Saturday evening following a rather unhealthy amount of white and red wine [...]
Are Arsenal planning far enough ahead?
Morning all. How are we all doing today? We're over halfway, there is that. This time next week it'll all be about the Arsenal build up and we can put this dreaded international break to bed. But let's try to take something positive from what is unfolded in front of our eyes, which is that [...]
Flo and Eddie situations have been messed up at Arsenal
I had a dream last night that we went to Anfield and picked up a 1-1 draw. You know those dreams when you wake up and you're like "ahh that's great" then you realise that it never actually happened? Yeah, one of those. I don't get them very often - last time was when I [...]
Solving international break problems; hoping Arsenal’s summer is being solved now
Ahh man, isn't this international break just the worst, eh? I don't know what it is about this particular one, but it feels like it is properly dragging on to me. It's only Thursday. We have ANOTHER week of this. Plus the warm glow of victory is starting to wear off, yet the dull ache [...]
