Suburban Gooners – Arsenal Blog
Clean bill of health for Arsenal’s international stars?
Morning you lovely lot. Happy Wednesday from a tired Gooner hurtling his way towards central London on the Metropolitan Line for an all day strategy session. Could life get any more exciting, eh? Still, at least I'm not in Harry Maguire's position, because he can't get anything right, eh? I mean don't get me wrong, [...]
Gabriel seems fine (phew), but it lays out the defensive tightrope we could be walking
We're nearly there folks...closing down on exiting this interminable international break and we can get our focus back to Everton on Sunday, which will be a tough trip as it always is for us, having not won there in what feels like a bazillion years. Hopefully we'll also have the benefit of having Gabriel back [...]
Odegaard’s new deal is another ‘essential’ for The Arsenal
Morning folks, hope we're all good? I've woken up this morning feeling mega fatigued. It's probably wine-induced, coupled with doing very little this weekend other than sitting in the paddling pool, so my body feels as though it has been set a precedent where anything else other than horizontal living in the sun is acceptable, [...]
Does Mikel go in during half term?
Morning peeps. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Hope you guys are all good. It's going to be a scorcher this weekend and so after today's brain dump I'll be heading out to the garden to fire up the paddling pool I reckon! Come 2pm there will be a beached whale of a Suburban Gooner [...]
Praying for safe return of Arsenal players from internationals
Hello again, fellow Gooners, welcome to Friday! Normally I'd be talking about how I'm excited for the football this weekend, but as we both know that is not the case, with us instead crossing everything that we get our players returning in one piece and not just the shattered remains of players handed back to [...]
Arsenal players getting recognised is a nice and new feeling
Happy Thursday Gooners - we holding up ok? I say that because, let's face it, this is just about the worst time in an international break; we're now a solid four days from the brilliant late United winner, the content that we have been gorging ourselves on is starting to run out, with the upcoming [...]
Arsenal getting better at selling – the final obstacle for Edu?
First and foremost - congrats to Bukayo Saka for being named the England men's player of the year for the second year running. It is an award that relates to the national team and so for me personally, I haven't paid too much attention to it, but kudos to him for picking up another award [...]
How worried should we be about Thomas Partey’s injury?
The beauty about such a fabulous result as we got at the weekend, is that when it comes just before we all have to endure an international break, we can live through that results and string out the joy for a little bit longer than we normally would. For me personally, for example, I'd usually [...]
Last gasp Arsenal do it again against United
There's no other place to start today other than that super ending to a dramatic day and it is yet another injury time winner - or couple of winners - that sent us all in to dreamland at the Emirates against Man United. I'll go through the chronology of the day yesterday in a bit, [...]
Focus and control needed for Arsenal against transitional Man United
Had a bit of a heavy one in Richmond yesterday evening for a friends birthday party, so today’s ramblings will probably be more incoherent than usual, but let’s give it a go at previewing today’s game at the Emirates against United, shall we? Firstly, some form of prediction. I think we’ll get a draw today. [...]
