So the final press conference of the season was done yesterday, coinciding with the launch of the new home kit for next season, in which the club released a bunch of new social media and press about it to generate plenty of online chatter. On the kit, personally, I might give it a miss next [...]

Osimhen to Arsenal won’t happen

Morning folks and welcome to the last Friday of the season. My plan for this weekend is to try not to labour myself too much in thinking about 'what could have been', but Mikel Arteta will take to the press room at London Colney for the last time this season and he'll no doubt have [...]

Liking the ‘reset’ vibes from Arteta

Morning folks - a happy Thursday to thee. Hope we're all good? There was a good interview by Arteta on the official site yesterday that is worth a check in on. He's clearly gearing up on a big summer and called on the club to do a 'reset' before we go again next season. I [...]

Arsenal got a dog! (There may or may not be a football match today too….)

I'm a cat owner, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a loveable dog. And so when I saw that Mikel Arteta had hand selected himself a chocolate Labrador to roam the halls and fields of London Colney, I thought it was a great idea. The thought that there will be an affectionate pooch bounding [...]

Should Arteta experiment for the final two games?

Still feeling it a little bit after the game on Sunday. How about you? Even the catharsis of doing the pod last night hasn't helped to get me over the defeat to Brighton. I said on the pod that my football hangover cure was to avoid social media for a bit and that I did, [...]

Do Saliba and Zinchenko blows mean a rethink for Arteta?

And then The Ornstein went and did that to us... Yep, last night we got another injury blow via The Athletic reporter, that not only with Saliba miss the remainder of this season through injury, but we'd also lose his fellow defensive teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko through a calf strain as well. both are big blows [...]

What does Arteta do tactically: Stick or twist?

Bit of a weird one for a Saturday blog today, because although it is a Premier League weekend, Arsenal don't play until Tuesday, which means we'll be watching all of the other Premier League games unfolding in front of us, without any real proper football at all. From a personal point of view I'd rather [...]

Arteta and Real Madrid – that couldn’t be a thing – could it?

It's Wednesday, it's the middle of the week, but it is only another couple of days until matchday and after the disappointment of Sunday's draw there is half of me looking forward to hopefully seeing the team put it right at home  to Southampton, whilst the other part of me worries that a rut has [...]

The Saliba worry, the West Ham focus

By |2023-04-15T08:32:19+01:00April 15th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

Well we got our press conference from the boss yesterday and for me the one worrying thing that stood out was the Saliba update. We've all talked about it online, in the pubs amongst fellow Gooners, about how back injuries are apparently tough to get over and diagnose. But when you have an update from [...]

Arteta plays a straight bat pre Liverpool

Tricky Micky Arteta had his press conference yesterday and, as expected, didn’t really give away much in terms of team news. I suppose the best news is that we have no fresh injuries from last weekend. That is good enough for me because at this stage of the season the last thing we want to [...]
