Arsenal and Arteta’s control – we’re getting used to it

Last night after I'd had my dinner I quickly checked my phone to see the Scum v West Ham score. It was about 20 minutes in and I saw that they had bagged one early so I put my phone down and tucked in to some festive TV. "I'm not watching the media love in of [...]

Arteta will stress the importance of not underestimating the Hatters

Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]

Good for Martin, bad for Jesus, terrible from PGMOL

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, which will probably be the last of the regularly released rambling utterances from yours truly on here, because in about 13 hours from writing this I'm off to New Zealand for a few weeks. I'll try to get a few blogs and thoughts penned in during that time, but [...]

The Partey is over – time for Arsenal to move on

Morning all and welcome to Friday. We're just over 24 hours until we take to the field against Burnley and we'll hear from Mikel at some stage today about the team news for this one and I'm sure he'll be asked about the fitness of a certain Thomas Partey, with whom the noises are now [...]

Arsenal need to beware the aerials against Sevilla

I think tonight might be a little trickier than some people might think. Going away to Sevilla and getting the result was good, but for some it might add a false sense of security on the outcome of tonight's match, particularly given our injury problems as it stands. No Timber, no Partey, no Smith Rowe, [...]

Should Arteta throw a selection curveball against Newcastle tonight?

Happy match day gooners! You nervous about this one? I know I am. This is going to be tough going this evening, I reckon, because it's a tough place to go, it'll be a cold wet one up north (not even remotely an excuse though), we have injuries and we've just come off of the [...]

Defeat at West Ham – It’s the manner rather than the result that irritates

That was a pretty miserable night last night, if truth be told. I made the schlep all the way to the other side of London, to that soulless bowl of a stadium, having had to virtually sprint at every stage coming from West London as I had an over-running work event that I had to [...]

West Ham in the League Cup – what does Arteta do?

Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]

How does Arteta prepare for West Ham on Wednesday?

Given that Arsenal played on Saturday, I did something I don't always normally do, in watching the other kick offs that were on Sky Sports yesterday. Usually when Arsenal aren't on, I'll find something else to do with The Management and as a result I'm not usually by a TV, but yesterday I was hanging [...]

Some questions I’d love Arteta to answer today (he probably won’t)

Morning Gooners - a Happy Friday to you and yours. Matchday tomorrow at home to Sheffield United and it's the most glorious of things as well: a 3pm-er. Love it. I'll do a bit more tomorrow on line ups and Sheffield United and how they'll set up, but for now as we wait on Mikel [...]
