Refereeing transparency is good, but there are still too many questions unanswered

Morning folks - we all good? Or are you one of the many people slightly irritated by the 'Refs mic'd up' content Sky Sports pushed out last night featuring refereeing chief Howard Webb and, oddly, Michael Owen? On the Owen stuff, I'm not sure i've ever seen any kind of tactical insight worth him being [...]

Arsenal banish Man City hoodoo with superb defensive display

Tis a good morning to be an Arsenal fan today, eh? Yesterday's win over City - our first in the last seventeen attempts dating back to December 2015 when Theo Walcott got his 100th goal for The Arsenal and Matthieu Flamini started along with Joel Campbell - was hardly a 'classic that will go down [...]

One of my little pre match rituals that I go through before every game we play is to try to gauge a flavour of the lay of the land from a pundit perspective. I know they are often just doing it to get clicks, there is usually not a lot of thoughtful analysis that goes [...]

Saka hope and Ben White appreciation

Morning Gooners, how we all doing on this Saturday morn? How optimistic are you that we might see Bukayo Saka on the pitch tomorrow, eh? A bit more optimistic than a couple of days ago I'll bet. That's because we've started to hear some whisperings that he might be ok from Sunday, with even Mikel [...]

Does the England Saka announcement give us cause for optimism?

It's press conference day today and Mikel Arteta will take to the press room at London Colney to give an update on where we are at with our injury problems ahead of the big game against Oil-Funded-Nation-State FC on Sunday, with all eyes and ears being very firmly fixed on the availability of Bukayo Saka [...]

Lens the unknown quantity – Arsenal need to be careful

Morning Gooners - back on a match day and looking forward to our first away day in the Champions League for many a year. For the team and players it is just as well that the trip is shorter in distance to going to Newcastle, because the bad weather around the Luton area - where [...]

Why do Arsenal concede so many goals at home and not away?

Happy Monday folks - hope we're all fine and dandy? I kicked off a booze free few weeks yesterday (well, technically because of the COVID it was from Tuesday last week, but I'm not counting that just yet) and so I've woken up this morning without a fuzzy head and that, dear friends, is pretty [...]

Controlled Arsenal batter Bournemouth

By |2023-10-01T09:07:35+01:00October 1st, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

For me personally yesterday was almost the most perfect sporting day I could have hoped for. First and foremost, which will take up the bulk of today's blog for obvious reasons, was the 4-0 away win over Bournemouth that Arsenal delivered to us on that most precious of things: A Saturday 3pm kick off. But [...]

Will Arteta opt for the meritocracy approach against Bournemouth?

Here we are at Match day again, as this busy period hots up, just as we're getting updates from Arteta on how many players are not available for the next game! He was in front of the press yesterday and at first it didn't sound too great a prognosis on the players who would travel [...]

How does Arteta approach tomorrow night against Brentford in the cup?

What a way to start off a day - with bloody COVID. Well, at least Arsenal are away this weekend and so there is at least that up side that I'm not going to miss going to a game this weekend. It's scuppers a few socialising plans I have but such is life. I move [...]
