A horrible kit and a change of tactical versatility for The Arsenal?

Happy Saturday gooners, hope all is well in your respective worlds? As you'd expect it's a quiet one in the Arsenal universe, with the English footballing eyes all on United versus City today. Personally I'm not sure I'll bother watching; it's a cup final between two teams that I don't like very much, so why [...]

'Tis the season to be...... ....Worried about every single transfer rumour that gets banded about, apparently, and I am by no means an exception it seems. For yesterday in the morning - after I'd written my daily musings on here first thing, a story emerged about how Arsenal could be resigned to losing Saliba this [...]

Arsenal and Arteta get the tactics and mentality wrong against Brighton

There are some days where I really just don't feel like writing about football or, specifically, about The Arsenal. Today my friends, is one of those days, for sure. I even fired up my laptop this morning and instead of logging on to the site and starting to type away, I started to go through [...]

Cor blimey I had a skin-full last night. Eurovision virtual party with the family and I decided the only way to get through it is to drink so much booze that walking upstairs to bed felt like a pilgrimage. **Makes noise like Sideshow Bob when he steps on all those rakes in The Simpsons** I [...]

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 [...]

Gutsy Arsenal keep the pressure on with Newcastle win

When this season is finished and we all start to assess how it has gone, there will be loads of really positive things to say about Mikel Arteta’s side. Sure, we’ll probably have some regrets like the Everton game away, or that we didn’t make more of the Southampton at home (and away too, probably) [...]

Greetings fellow Gooners from the temporary home of Flo Balogun: Reims. I’m here because The Management has always wanted to visit the champagne region and it is for that reason that I’ll probably only be temporarily checking in here for the next few days. But as an Arsenal-obsessive like you, our beloved team are never [...]

Arsenal hold serve against woeful Chelsea

Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]

Start fast and get the first goal against Chelsea, Arsenal

Morning folks. It's another match day and after the last few that we've had, the old fears and nervous butterflies have crept their way back in to my stomach. About a month ago those things were more excitement than fears, because we were on a great run of form, playing good football, looking every bit [...]
