Right then, it's match day, so let's see what we're up against with today's evening opponents Brentford, eh? Firstly, their team news, which sees the Beeds facing quite a lot of missing players due to injury, particularly at the back, where Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey and Ethan Pinnock all remain out for this [...]

Arsenal hand out another Tonking to some Magpies

That was a lot of fun yesterday, wasn’t it? We wanted revenge, we came for revenge, we got revenge. There was no ‘desgracia’ yesterday at The Emirates, because an excellent Arsenal team dispatched a shaky Newcastle team, leaving the home fans once again in dreamland as chants of “who put the ball in the Geordie’s [...]

Can you change a winning side? Should you?

There's little time for basking this week, as Champions League is back on the menu and tomorrow night Arsenal take to the pitch in the first of our two-legged tie against Porto for a spot in the quarter final. It's an old-familiar foe for us; during the consistency years of always finishing fourth under Wenger, [...]

Arsenal’s rotational attackers could lead to the promised land

Howdy peeps, hope we're all doing well on this Thursday ahead of a trip to Turf Moor for one of those most precious of things: A 3pm kick off. Obviously I prefer it when it's at home, but these days with the ability to 'find ways' to watch or listen to football anywhere, it's less [...]

Arsenal simply must strike first today against transition-focused Liverpool

Well, here we are, ladies and gents. Time to strap ourselves in because this is the big one and this is a test that this Arsenal team simply must pass if it wants to be in contention for the top honours going in to the end of the season. The period over Christmas in which [...]

Getting subs right in the second half of the season

Morning folks and welcome to Thursday, as we tick ever-closer towards that game against Palace for the 12.30pm kick off on Saturday lunchtime. I'd asked for a marginal gain of Everton and Palace going to extra time last night and whilst it was unfortunate that it never happened, the fact that Palace put out a strong [...]

Arsenal fan gets irrational after three defeats

Cor blimey it's cold in London right now. I'm sure many of you are from places that would consider the weather we've got in the UK 'mild', but my body isn't designed for minus temperatures and when I have to wear five layers for my morning run, that's really hitting home for me, that's for [...]

The delicate Partey balance

Yesterday I saw the news emanating from a few sources that Thomas Partey is close to a return to the side and that the club are potentially earmarking the Nottingham Forest game as a match in which he could play a part. My first reaction was a Futurama Professor Farnsworth-style "Good news everyone!" reaction. We have [...]

Is it better for Arsenal to chase than lead?

By |2024-01-10T08:51:28+00:00January 10th, 2024|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, premier league|0 Comments

Perhaps it is because we're in to this winter break period and that means a fair bit of introspection and over thinking, but when I was out on my morning run in the cold suburbs of West London this morning, I started thinking to myself about our current position in the league and started to [...]

Do Arsenal’s attackers need a hypnotist?

In some sort of twisted dark humour attempt at comedy my timeline on Twitter reminded me just now that on this day in 2007 we went to Anfield and put six goals past Liverpool to make it through to the League Cup Semi Final. Julio Baptista, Alex Song and Jeremie Aliadiere all got on the [...]
