With the Interdull now well underway and Arsenal fans having to spend their time looking at farcical programmes like Sky Sports' Ref Watch, one could be forgiven for switching away completely from all things football for a while. Arteta spoke after the Sunderland match about 'resetting' and I guess a lot of that is with the [...]
I watched the City-Liverpool game unfold with intrigue yesterday. At the beginning of the day, in my head, this was very much a 'we can't lose either way' kind of feeling. A draw means both teams drop points. A Liverpool win means we're still five off them. A City win, whilst the least palatable, would [...]
When you concede a goal in stoppage time, you always have to say you're disappointed with the result, but perhaps in the fullness of time this 2-2 draw we had at Sunderland yesterday won't be seen as the dropped points it feels like this morning. I was impressed with Sunderland as a side. They are [...]
Match day Saturday for The Arsenal and I come to you from just north of Newcastle, in the North East, albeit not going to the game today. Which is frustrating. But not as frustrating as it might be today if we can't capitalise on the fact that we're playing before both City and Liverpool, who [...]
We didn't get the Mikel Arteta press conference that I swore I saw somebody say was going to happen yesterday, but what we did get was sight of Gabriel Jesus in full first team training, which is lovely to see. I doubt it will mean anything for this weekend, because he'll need probably a few [...]
Happy Thursday all - hope you're all good? I think we're getting a Mikel Arteta press conference this morning ahead of the Sunderland game and I don't know about you, but the main question I'd like answered is: How long is Viktor Gyokeres going to be out injured for? The talk is that it's after [...]
It's easy to look towards the two headlines of Merino and the record-breaking back five from last night's ultimately comfortable 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, but I have to say that to a man, that Arsenal team showed what a confidence-laden side looks like from minute one yesterday. It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday and [...]
Morning campers, hope you're all well on this here Champions League match day, in which a visit to Prague is on the cards for the team for one of the earlier kick offs today. Firstly, we have to ponder who on earth is now going to be playing up front, after Big Vik succumbed to [...]
I hope I can come on here after another 28 matches just like yesterday, because the keyword of the day will be this every time if I do: Routine. That needs to be the definer of Arsenal this season with games like this and if Arsenal can continue to put in performances like they did [...]
Match day ten this season brings about yet another familiar challenge to it that we have faced for some years now: An away day low block. It used to be a tenet of Premier League football that when teams are at home, they are a little more expansive; their fans urge them to drive forward, [...]
