Morning folks - happy match day. Let's hope it is one in which The Arsenal are blessed with three points. We were all certainly blessed with mostly good news yesterday, as it was all but confirmed that Bukayo Saka has signed his new bumper contract. I was asked to give some comments on that for [...]
Happy Tuesday boys and girls. Let's start with some FA Cup news, shall we? After all, we did learn last night our fate and opponents in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup and as I hoped for last in yesterday's blog, we got the kind of draw that our compact fixture schedule could probably [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
I know the Champions League is an important competition for us. I know that we want to finish in the top two. And I know that a win, or even a draw tonight, will essentially seal that. But please, for the love of all that is holy, Mikel, please rotate the key players out for [...]
