I had a dream last night that we played Burnley, we were beating them 2-0 and into injury time, when Bukayo Saka went down and we were arguing for a penalty in stoppage time. The ref waved it away, but then was called to the monitor, to see that the second goal we scored hit [...]

The perfect three-pointer against Forest

Yesterday morning I spoke of the fact that Forest could be a bit of a banana skin on account of the fact that we don't really know how they would play. In the fullness of time and with the benefit of hindsight, we can say that regardless of what they were going to do, this [...]

Forest are an unknown quantity but Arsenal must start fast

Here we are folks. It’s matchday. Like, a proper matchday, not like those fake match days that masquerade as if they’re matvhdays when in fact they’re international breaks. Oh how I have missed them. The nerves, the anticipation, the apprehension…it’s all here. Except…I’m at Heathrow as I type this, about to board a flight to [...]

A look behind enemy lines as Arsenal prep for Forest at home

Morning folks, hope we're all good and looking for to the re-commencement of the proper stuff tomorrow. We had some lovely videos and pictures of the players in training and as usual, as we all did our zooming in to see if there were any players not in the pictures or videos. It looks like a [...]

Does Postecoglou’s arrival scupper Arteta’s tactical approach for this weekend?

By |2025-09-11T07:22:48+01:00September 11th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. With the international tedium now well behind us in the rear view mirror, thoughts shift back towards the Premier League and a return of an old adversary to The Emirates in 'Big Ange' Postecoglou. His reign at Forest is now underway and, as you'd expect, he's come out in [...]

Madueke continues to chip away at the sceptics – which can only be good for The Arsenal

Is it safe to come out? Did every Arsenal player make it out in one piece? It sounds like it to me. Even in the early hours of the morning with the Brazil game, mercifully Big Gabi and Martinelli were both unused subs, as the Selecao went on to lose 1-0 away to Bolivia. That sounds [...]

What is a Merino? Cross everything for Calafiori and the Adrenaline around Dowman

Take a bow Mikel Merino son! He bagged himself a hat trick for Spain last night and the second one in particular looked like a really good strike. Naturally that kind of output and the fact he also scored in their last game against Bulgaria has you thinking about his life in an Arsenal shirt [...]

Noni impresses, Eze doesn’t, but that shouldn’t bother Arsenal fans

I watched the WSL opener as I was doing some work in the kitchen yesterday and I have to say, that Olivia Smith lass looks good, doesn't she? That's one heck of a shot she's got on her and if that's the sign of things to come, then Arsenal Women have themselves one heck of [...]

What are we going to do about Gabriel Martinelli?

By |2025-09-05T08:05:54+01:00September 5th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|5 Comments

Morning folks, hope we're all good today? I got too focused on Gabriel Jesus' omission from the Champions League squad yesterday to talk about the topic I actually wanted to zoom in on yesterday, but the good thing about international breaks is that there's always tomorrow to be able to spill over one's thoughts. So, [...]

Arsenal need the best version of Odegaard

Happy hump day people. The only down side to this particular one, is there is an intolerable international break that is getting in the way, with Arsenal not due again out on the green stuff until the Saturday after this one against Forest. I'm still trying to process the summer transfer window though. I'm focusing [...]
