Brentford fan thoughts and Eze learning the Arsenal way

With Arteta not doing his presser until today, there's still a bit of time for us to chew the fat over different things, so I thought I'd start today by doing that with the results from last night. Tottenham Hotspur. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I fully realise their next game is against us. I fully realise that there [...]

Controlling the controllable’s: Thoughts ahead of a massive match week 25

We kick off match week 25 with a host of non-Arsenal fixtures, as the TV companies continue to feed from the money trough by spreading matches over three days, and I can't work out whether us playing on Thursday is a good thing or not. The Scum, for example, play Newcastle tonight, but then they [...]

Tough one, low block, but Arsenal need to do the business against Sunderland

Feeling a bit, well, weirdly nervous about this one today. Yesterday I touched on it, but it's one of those games in which everything - and everyone - is calling this a routine home win. The stats back it up, again, as I mentioned yesterday. Sundewrland aren't amazing away from home. And yet....AND YET...there's that [...]

The seven-point itch: Can Arsenal finally pull away from the chasing pack?

We find out team news from Mikel Arteta today, so we'll know what we're dealing with when it comes to tomorrow's opposition, Sunderland, but I wonder what Mikel is thinking from a tactical perspective? From a fitness point of view, the news we have all unofficially heard is that Saka is out until probably the [...]

Arsenal must rediscover domestic ruthlessness against united tomorrow

Howdy folks, from an overcast Sri Lanka in which I’m operating on about two hours sleep, so please bear with me if my usual Arsenal-related rambling is a little more incoherent than usual. We heard from Mikel Arteta yesterday and I guess the first thing to be happy about is that Hincapie and Calafiori are [...]

United are the unknown quantity

I've been up since some ungodly hour this morning, as the Management and I head off for some winter sun for a couple of weeks, which is great. The missing of The Emirates and at least three home games is a bit of a bummer, but First-World Problems n'that, so I won't look for any sympathy. [...]

From Colney to the Côte d’Azur: Nwaneri treads the Saliba path

Morning campers. Hope we're all good? I was going to start looking ahead to the United game on Sunday, but given Ethan Nwaneri has essentially signed for Marseille on loan for the rest of this season, I figured we need to say something about that. It appears Big Bill Saliba has had his say before departing [...]

Zubi being prepped for Christmas period

Morning Gooners and welcome to Wednesday. We'll be on day two of the training sessions for the team and yesterday pictures emerged of day one, which included players missing like Havertz and Gabriel as we'd expect, but not Martin Zubimendi. Apparently he was training indoors as the club try to manage his load management which, [...]

Arsenal need to ‘unlock’ the first half goal conundrum

Morning Gooners, we all good? I have to admit, I was kind of sad that I didn't watch the batshit-mental football match last night that was Man United 4 - 4 Bournemouth. Looks like a Christmas hum-dinger of a game and one in which I saw Jamie Carragher describe it as "the best of the [...]
