Arsenal need to build out some ‘wiggle room’

Morning folks and welcome to another week. But what a weekend from an Arsenal point of view, eh? For the last two months or so we've seen team after team have games in hand over us, been calculating the permutations of those teams around us winning their games in hand, looking at the table and [...]

The state of refereeing and the unconscious bias against The Arsenal

By |2022-02-13T09:31:54+00:00February 13th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, History, premier league, Rant, referees|6 Comments

Can we have a quick chat about referees? I feel I read blogs, watch videos and listen to podcasts of Arsenal fans, with all of us collectively having to repeat the phrase "Now, this isn't a conspiracy, but..." as a caveat when we speak about referees. We have to qualify any statement before going in [...]

Hard fought victory for the Arsenal, marred by refereeing weirdness

That was a big, BIG, result last night for The Arsenal. Make no mistake about it, it was hard fought, hard earned and even with a fair dose of perceived injustice for us, that felt like it could potentially have a bearing on our season. If somehow we manage to keep our best players on [...]

Where is The Tomiyasu? I must insist…

Just over 48 hours to go until our season starts up again and whilst I don't have the same excitement as we all do when the season starts proper for the first time in August every year, there is a little bit of nervous excitement that resides within me this morning. The final preparations are [...]

A big hurdle to overcome for Arsenal against Wolves this week

A second Arsenal-less weekend passes us by and I think that whilst many of us were feeling a little relief at a bit of time away from The Arsenal after the frustrating draw followed by what felt like an even more frustrating transfer deadline day, this week represents opportunity, with our first game in over [...]

What’s the plan for Balogun?

Last night Middlesbrough dumped United out of the cup. I’d completely forgotten that this weekend was FA Cup weekend! It’s been erased from my memory after our Forest debacle, but at least there was some Arsenal connection, as Balogun played 60 minutes for Boro and by the sounds of it performed quite admirably. I didn’t [...]

Arteta, Edu and the Arsenal football admin all need to be accountable

Yesterday we finally  heard from Aubameyang after his move to Barcelona was signed, sealed and delivered to the people of Catalonia, with the striker opening up about his exit. As you'd expect it was all his variation of the events that unfolded, but he didn't tell us too much in terms of what went down, [...]

How the hell can Arsenal keep every player fit?

And so the saga ends. Relatively quicker than the Özil one that dragged out for two or three seasons, the Aubameyang saga was concluded within two months, as the club confirmed it had terminated the contract with the player by ‘mutual consent’. Whatever that means. And I say that because there are a myriad of [...]

Arsenal have weakened themselves this January – that is a fact.

Well here we are folks. The road ahead is as clear as day and so to is the list of players we will have available to us until the summer window opens up at the end of June. And I am sure you, as much as I, am disappointed with what has transpired this January. [...]
