I didn't watch the game against Hibs on Tuesday and so didn't actually manage to catch some individual performances. So the sight yesterday of a slightly rounder Willian on the pitch, with various pictures of him looking visibly chubbier as he faced off against the Scottish team, would be utterly hilarious, if it wasn't so [...]
First pre season match underway and you'll forgive me for not really giving two sh*ts about the result, I'm sure, right? After all, the team that started yesterday's 2-1 defeat to Hibs in Edinburgh, won't be the same side that faces up against Brentford in a month's time on the first game of the Premier [...]
Lots of ‘maybes’ going on right now. But do Arsenal have the money to get all the recent speculation on players done?
Yesterday morning I think it was, when I read that Saliba had withdrawn from the French Olympic team, which I thought meant he could come back to Arsenal and get a good pre season and then who knows, probably get the chance to impress and maybe even play some football for us so Arteta could [...]
I was at an anniversary meal with The Management last night, so couldn't watch the England game, but apparently Saka started, starred, got man of the match and the press are now saying he should surely be a shoe-in to start in the next round. Catch up guys, us Gooners have known Saka is mustard [...]
Morning folks. I don't normally make a habit of signposting people in a different direction to another part of the internet at the beginning of my usual daily ramblings, but I was particularly impressed with this week's Arsecast, in which Andrew and James had a chat about transfers, what's on the horizon (or not as [...]
Mikel Arteta talked to the assembled press yesterday and I have to say I thought he talked about a whole manner of things that were interesting to try to read between the lines. So much so that I actually think more was debated about 'other stuff' than the actual Brighton game itself. Which to be [...]
Do you know what's really weird? It's match day today and yet over the last 24/48 hours I keep forgetting Arsenal are playing Crystal Palace tonight. It goes to show just how much this season is paling into insignificance already. Part of me thinks it's a good thing, because I'm not going to get worked [...]
Isn't it just so very Arsenal that when all seems lost and there is little to play for, the team finds a level of character from deep within it, to pull off a victory away from home against a high-flying Chelski who have been bulldozing most teams and beat Man City at the weekend? Perhaps [...]
Well folks, this feels like it could be pretty much it tonight, what it all boils down to and should the worst happen this evening and we sh*t the bed against Unai Emery's Villareal then the season is essentially finished in all but name. It feels like last chance saloon for Mikel and his charges [...]
