Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and I was thinking about the Big Gabi injury. I thought to myself "it feels like every time we get an injury update from a Fabrizio Romano or an Ornstein Bomba with regards to injuries over the last 12 - 18 months, it's always been worse than is first [...]

Uncharacteristic Arsenal defending scuppers Sunderland three points

When you concede a goal in stoppage time, you always have to say you're disappointed with the result, but perhaps in the fullness of time this 2-2 draw we had at Sunderland yesterday won't be seen as the dropped points it feels like this morning. I was impressed with Sunderland as a side. They are [...]

The clean sheet machine rolls on with 3-0 Prague win

It's easy to look towards the two headlines of Merino and the record-breaking back five from last night's ultimately comfortable 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, but I have to say that to a man, that Arsenal team showed what a confidence-laden side looks like from minute one yesterday. It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday and [...]

Arsenal overcome Burnley as ‘routine’ becomes a common word for this side

I hope I can come on here after another 28 matches just like yesterday, because the keyword of the day will be this every time if I do: Routine. That needs to be the definer of Arsenal this season with games like this and if Arsenal can continue to put in performances like they did [...]

Rotation on the cards for Arsenal, but that doesn’t mean weakness

So, we have ourselves a League Cup tonight and following Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, we've got a bit of speculation over who he's going to start that is the key topic for today, for sure. Arteta gave an update following on from Sunday's win over Palace and with a number of players coming off [...]

Eze does the dirty on his old team as Arsenal stay top of the Premier League

Well now, that turned out to be a very Arsenal-friendly weekend in the end, eh? Perhaps not the 'perfect' weekend, as the Scum still won, but good enough that we can look at the table after nine games and see three defeats for City and four for Liverpool, who sit six and seven points off [...]

Arsenal’s not-so-secret on set pieces

Happy Saturday folks. I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing you have something enjoyable planned. Me, I’m going to get myself out for a run, then I’m going to settle down to watch some football at home this afternoon, as the Management and the mother-in-law are in London watching Black Sabbath: The [...]

Arsenal are in good nick at both ends of the pitch

To demonstrate how fast football moves... Yesterday I woke up feeling terrible. I'd started to come down with a fever on Tuesday afternoon and by the time the Arsenal game on I was running a high temperature and got barely any sleep, going to bed straight after the game. That mean that yesterday morning I [...]
