Arteta’s admission on transfer movement is good news this January

Before I start talking about the press conference and some of the more interesting parts of it for me yesterday, I thought I'd just mention Arsenal's campaign against knife crime that was released yesterday, with a video and also confirmation that Arsenal will wear an all white kit for the game against Nottingham Forest in [...]

How does Arteta rotate in the next 10 days and what should we do about Lacazette?

Morning folks and welcome to Friday. Been a long ol' slog this week, I have to say, so has it been the same for you? Have you just jumped straight back in to the swing of work or have you counted down until the weekend like me? What hasn't helped was the lack of football [...]

Transparency in football is gone; from the EFL to FA…

By |2022-01-06T08:21:05+00:00January 6th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, FA Cup, League Cup, premier league, Rant|4 Comments

We should be playing the first of a two-legged semi final in the League Cup against Liverpool this evening. But for reasons that - as I mentioned yesterday - are increasingly murky, it has been postponed to 20th January, in two week's from today. The EFL - chaired by Merseyside-born former Liverpool Chairman Rick Parry [...]

Will Arsenal’s away form determine a top four spot?

It's Tuesday, a full three days since we were defeated against the state-funded Oil Whores, yet that defeat still stings a little bit. I guess it's partially also due to the fact that on Sunday those teams around us all picked up wins and now we're only a couple of points ahead of the Scum, [...]

Arsenal Squaddies prove they aren’t up to it in the Cup

What a disappointing performance that was yesterday. And there is emphasis on the word 'performance' really, because that's what I think warrants more discussion and debate than the actual result itself. We all love the FA Cup. We've seen Arsenal win it more than most and certainly in the last 20 odd years Arsenal have [...]

Sensible soccer signings in Ryan and Odegaard; Saints preview

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday. And it's a slightly different blog today because it appears as though not only we have a match to digest at lunchtime, but also a signing and one more that seems virtually on the way. On the one that is on the way - Odegaard - I'd like to [...]

Moles and Odegaard: Arteta has his say

We've had ourselves a press conference yesterday ahead of the FA Cup game tomorrow and Mikel had plenty to say on a number of different things, including some of the exits that we've had, with Sokratis getting the platitudes, as well as Mesut - to an extent anyway. He has obviously said nice things about [...]

Smith-Rowe and Tierney the difference makers against Newcastle in the cup

By |2021-01-10T09:30:30+00:00January 10th, 2021|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, FA Cup, gooners, Gunners, Match Review|0 Comments

A win is a win is a win. Am I right? Arsenal got that win - their fourth in a row - courtesy of a superb Emile Smith-Rowe finish and then a much needed Aubameyang goal in extra time, but whilst we can all agree that was a laboured performance last night, what I think [...]

Arteta and Arsenal’s midfield test at the Community Shield today

Match day for The Arsenal! Alright, it is only the Community Shield and ok, it’s Liverpool. But a match day is a match day and this is one in which I don’t have the usual nerves or fear of what a result will do to our season. That’s because, frankly, it doesn’t matter. As Arteta [...]

Flexible formations for Arsenal ahead of ‘set systems’

Morning folks and welcome to another midweek of this weird pre-season we find ourselves in. What's weird about it is that even though the FA Cup is still relatively fresh in the minds of most of us (despite Arsenal's attempts to pour cold water on it through signings, redundancies, sackings at the top, etc), we [...]
