Morning all and welcome to day six of me writing a blog whilst slowly melting away due to this wondeful heatwave we have going on here in the UK. Honestly I love it; we get far too much grey and drizzly weather and unreliable summers, that when it does shine, maketh the hay, and all [...]

Loans and long transfer windows; Arsenal have little time to sort stuff out

Imagine how great it must be to know that the probability of your team getting a penalty is at least every other game? That's what United have been treated to this season as, yet again, a penalty went their way. A very, VERY, soft penalty that I'd wager for seven or eight teams out of [...]

Willian could mean a formation change for Arsenal, but Zaha and Partey might not be in it

Howdy y'all and welcome to another post season Monday, although Mother Nature has seen fit to deliver what feels like holiday weather in the UK, without the holiday to go with it unfortunately. You'll never here me complaining though - I love the warmth and would gladly have it like this every day of the [...]

The ‘Ainsley or cash’ conundrum Arsenal and Arteta face

Morning folks and welcome to another Friday. I was going to say 'Lockdown Friday' but I don't think we're still in Lockdown, are we? I don't know exactly when it changed, it seemed to seep into whatever this hybrid between Lockdown and normality is, but anyway, happy 'Whatever it is' to you and your kin. [...]

I see Willian logic, but I’m not 100% behind it

Morning folks and welcome to another post-FA Cup final victory day. It really is rather blissful and I think i'm going to see if I can continue to ride the crest of this particular wave for as long as possible. If it can take me well into the weekend then that'd be just grand. There's [...]

Holding’s dreadlocks to help win the FA Cup for Arsenal?

T-minus 57 hours and counting from the FA Cup Final as I type out today's Arsenal-related nonsense and I have to say I feel just as nervous as I have done all week. As I've already said on a podcast and the blog, this could all go very well or very bad and mentally I'm [...]

Arsenal – Hard “No’s” on Partey, Coutinho, Willian and Zaha

Happy Wednesday folks, as we rapidly approach the 'Sliding Doors' moment that is our FA Cup Final on Saturday, given the possible outcomes we could face. Win and there's a little more cash in the coffers and an opportunity to play European Football next season. Lose and we stare down the barrel of the no [...]

Kids against Watford, Arsenal against Antony Taylor and ‘no thanks’ for Coutinho

By |2020-07-23T07:57:02+01:00July 23rd, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Arsenal Transfers, FA Cup, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Transfers|0 Comments

There's a couple of things on my mind this morning, as this season finally drags it's sorry arse into closing, thank gawd, which I think is a sentiment all Arsenal fans can get behind. The kids against Watford? In my mind this is an obvious 'yes', but I am a child of the 80s and [...]

Transfers or not, Arteta should inspire more hope in Arsenal fans for next season

We're all still a bit down at the moment because of the North London Derby defeat to a pretty average Tottenham team, but for some reason I haven't been as down as others, which is weird because I'm usually described as 'The Pessimistic One' when it comes to The Arsenal. But I just couldn't get [...]

Auba, Guendouzi and Leicester – Monday musings

Happy Monday peeps. Yesterday I had a stinking hangover, so didn’t compile any thoughts on the Wolves result, but I gotta tell ya I was mighty impressed I have to say. It was the first ‘statement victory’ that we have had under Arteta and no wonder he had such a beaming smile afterwards. I know [...]
