MLS shines as Arsenal destroy Mr Stay Humble’s City
Man, that felt good yesterday, didn’t it? After all of the hand-wringing about our lack of signings this month, after what felt like a very barren beginning of the year with us profligate in front of goal and virtually out of the two domestic cups, Arsenal turned up on a cold London February afternoon and [...]
Watkins waffle with City prep in full sway
Morning folks and welcome to the weekend, in which we face yet another massive game tomorrow, so yesterday and today becomes all about the build up to that. Although having said that I do think the Villa situation is interesting. I listened to the Arsenal Vision podcast yesterday whilst out on a walk and I [...]
FA wade in on MLS debate; Watkins deal probably a 1% chance now
Let's all give an extremely slow and sarcastic clap to the FA today folks, after they decided to charge Arsenal for its players' conduct after the sending off of Myles Lewis-Skelly last weekend. So let's get this straight. The dismissal was ruled to be incorrect, which is why the Arsenal players were furious, the response [...]
Arsenal’s Girona advance gives us Starboy 2.0 vibes
Arsenal's conclusion to this horrendous Champions League group stage format concluded last night and after the initial concern of how the format would play out when we drew away at Atalanta and then ended up losing to a dodgy penalty away at Inter on match day three, we ended up finishing third in the competition, [...]
Zinchenko and Nypan moves are timely – but are they what we need for the ‘now’?
Morning folks, we all good, on this wet and windy Tuesday? We'll get a Mikel Arteta press conference later on today ahead of the game against Girona and I suspect the team will be flying out during the day at some stage as we prepare for our final game of this annoying Champions League group [...]
PGMOL double down on their approach
Let's start off this Monday's blog thoughts by saying that if you are a person who is reaching out directly to anybody in the public eye and threatening them, their families, sending abuse from behind a keyboard, you probably need to take a long, hard, look at yourself. Online abuse is not ok, it's not [...]
Congratulations
Congratulations to Michael Oliver. You made it all about you yesterday. You proved once again that your biases are clear when it comes to Arsenal and not even for the first time this season, you decided to change a game based on a decision that for 19 other clubs you would never give. Myles Lewis-Skelly's [...]
Is this a tale of two set piece sides?
It's match day, it's a Saturday kick off, it's Wolves away and it's a game that the pundits are all universally saying that it'll be a comfortable Arsenal win. Merse is saying 3-0, that Jones Knows fella on Sky Sports is saying 3-0, Sutton says 2-0, Lawro says 2-0 and Sports Mole is giving us a [...]
Tierney’s longest ever loan deal and Arsenal’s extra cash
Morning folks and may I say happy Friday to you and yours. It's Wolves away this weekend and Arteta will have a few words to say about them today at some stage, so I'll do a bit of that today to, but before then some other news that crept out in to the ether yesterday [...]
A routine Arsenal win (and about time!)
Sometimes I write the headlines before I own a single thought on here. But coming out of the ground last night with Arsenal all but secured an automatic spot in the last 16 of the Champions League, that’s exactly what I felt, because we were never really troubled at all against a Zagreb team who [...]
