I said it in the aftermath of Friday's press conferences, that Fulham feels a little more difficult than when we looked at this run of games pre-international break, but I feel it even more this morning: This is going to be hard today. Fulham are decent at home. Four wins, one draw and two defeats [...]

Yesterday I did a bit of a look at West Ham, but with Arteta and Lopetegui having their press conferences yesterday, we have a little more detail and I think I'll obviously focus a little more on us today. But before that, the West Ham team news, which Lopetegui talked about alongside handing our a [...]

Arsenal’s ‘nice to have’ game against Preston tonight

It's the first of four away ones tonight and I don't think you'll get many Arsenal fans arguing the toss over this one being the bottom of the pecking order in terms of 'must win' priorities. Preston away and the League Cup is a 'nice to have' and whilst Mikel Arteta was keen to stress [...]

All eyes will be on London Colney this morning as we all collectively pray for some happy news from Mikel's press conference. We won't of course get anything concrete, but that doesn't stop us getting all hopeful and slightly frustrated when he goes all cryptic, as he always does. It's not like when players are [...]

Spent the weekend at an AirBnB which had it's own sauna, cinema room, jacuzzi and pool this weekend, so when I woke up yesterday having watched the game on m iPad, I couldn't really be arsed to pen any thoughts. Why ruin a perfect Sunday ahead by re-living the memory, eh? A new week also [...]

Rice returning to some form from last season?

Ok so it looks like Rice is safe from injury, following playing (and scoring) last night in the England game against Finland. I didn't bother watching it, I wasn't interested in it, I've just checked in to see the score and see some of the goals and Rice's one was a classic lung-buster from our [...]

A smattering of first teamers today, but who plays in goal?

Morning folks - here we are at another match day and this time we kick off our League Cup campaign - a home tie against Bolton Wanderers and, I think the key question all of us want answered for this evening's game is: How many first team players are going to be rested tonight? Because [...]

Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]

Here we go folks, strap yerselves in, because we're now on the countdown the North London Derby and that means any of the football media outlets you usually tune in to will be awash with COMBINED NORTH LONDON DERBY XI'S, ex-players talking about how this is 'make or break' for both teams, discussions around why [...]

Taking a gander at Arsenal’s Champions league fate

Morning folks. With the intolerable international break still in swing, there is ZERO real football to talk about. Quite why, having just had an international tournament in the summer just a couple of months back, we have to send players away for a fortnight is beyond me. And to cap it all off, other players [...]
