Morning folks. Hope you're all good. Poor ol' Tomi, eh? Takehiro is not on tour with the rest of the squad over the next week and a bit because of a knee problem that some of the Arsenal journo's on the beat are saying relates to his knee. It means that he'll have two-to-three weeks [...]

The ‘no mans land’ part of the football calendar

Ahh man, there really is bugger all on today from a football perspective, that's for sure, with the Euro's final not on until Sunday, The Arsenal not on for a few weeks on from that, plus the only real transfer news going on is stuff we've already been privy too, like Lokonga, Calafiore and Tavares. [...]

Starboy Saka saves England – and no Arsenal fan is surprised

Sometimes - but very rarely - I write the title of the blog before I've even jotted a word down on the page to compile my daily thoughts. Today is one of those days for sure. Bukayo Saka showed why he is England's best player last night. Bukayo Saka showed why Gareth Southgate appeasing Phil [...]

Divided Euro loyalties and a little of Kimmich to The Arsenal?

Morning folks and welcome to another Monday of the summer off season. At least the weather has finally decided to show up and here I am finding myself very happy with the prospect of a few 25 degree plus days in London, that's for sure. Off to Glastonbury towards the end of the week so [...]

English VAR issues once again – why am I not surprised?

Morning Gooners - we all good? Got a bit of sun yesterday afternoon and inevitably dropped a beef-heavy BBQ in the back garden whilst watching the Austria v Poland game. That's what I love about the group stages; there's always something on TV to watch. Especially when it's the Euro's, because when it's the World [...]

Doing VAR properly

By |2024-06-20T08:22:35+01:00June 20th, 2024|analysis, Arsenal FC, Internationals, premier league, Rant, referees|0 Comments

I want to talk a little about VAR today, particularly the application in the Euro's right now, but before I do that, let's spare a thought and metaphorically pour out a little liquor for Kieran Tierney's Euro2024 campaign, which basically died last night as he was stretchered off for another injury sustained in a career [...]

Is this the most difficult Premier League season?

Here we go folks. The Big Weekend is amongst us and tomorrow we face off against a historical big foe in Man United, knowing that only victory gives us a slim chance of winning the Premier League. And let's be honest here, it is a 'slim' chance. I'm not trying to be deliberately negative or [...]

Making the case to keep Gabriel Jesus at The Arsenal

On Tuesday there were stories about Jorginho and his new deal, yesterday we had some noises about the potential of Arsenal listening to offers for Gabriel Jesus. You can tell we're rapidly approaching transfer silly season, can't you? I have my own thoughts on this, as you'd expect, but as with all of these things [...]

Jorginho stays, Rice grows, Arsenal look very good beyond this season

We're halfway through the week, halfway to our next cup final and as awesome as it's been drinking in all of the salty Scum tears, the focus absolutely has to switch to the challenge of Bournemouth, who will not be an easy opponent on Saturday lunchtime. One person I will be hoping that is in [...]

Morning folks, we all good? Have you been basking in the delights of a North London Derby victory still? I certainly have. Yesterday wasn't exactly my most productive work day, I have to admit, as I intermittently found myself getting on to social media to watch the occasional short video of Spurs fans filming their [...]
