Arteta’s decision making post-international break leave a lot to be desired

I won't dwell on the double standards that got dealt by the Premier League on match postponements yesterday. We know that what happened at the start of the season is now wrong, they know it was wrong, we move on. The hope is just that the Scum's fixture congestion really piles up on them next [...]

Fear the familiar sound of ‘we must learn’ from Arsenal

I don't know whether it was said in the immediate aftermath of the game against Everton on Monday, but I only read those Martin Odegaard quotes yesterday afternoon, in which he admitted that Arsenal have a mindset problem. He said something along the lines of being 'afraid to lose the win' or something equally as [...]

More time needed for both Wenger and Arsenal

Wednesday morning, the internal break hasn't even kicked off and I'm already bored of it. It's funny because when we lose I view the internationals as either a painfully slow creepy death in terms of football (i.e. you can't get 'back on the wagon' with a result), or a momentum killer (i.e. what happens if [...]

Arteta needs to sweep aside the narrative and Arsenal must ‘click’ against Palace

A week of 'R n R' in Spain this past seven days and having also decided that the international break was an opportunity to step away from the blog in the mornings, I find myself rejuvenated and excited for what feels like 'Part III' of Arsenal's season. In Part I we experienced the lows, the [...]

Arsenal’s successful future needs the stars to align

It's oh-so-quiet in Arsenal right now. Well, not the whole of the land, because of course the Arsenal Women played last night and sadly got a little beat up by Barcelona Women 4-1 on their home turf. Bit of a shame but I guess there are five more Champions League Group games to go and [...]

How can Arsenal compete with the financially doped?

Morning folks and welcome to another working week. I can smile knowing that there are Tottenham fans that were crowing just a month ago that are sad this morning, but behind that smile is the very real worry that they'll actually bother showing up against us next Sunday, as opposed to what went on yesterday [...]

Top four calculations and the lack of Arsenal goals

Morning folks and happy Monday and all that jazz. You doing alright? I woke up at about 5am this morning and it took me about 30 minutes to drift back off to sleep. Why? The  Top Four. Yep, that's right, I couldn't get back to sleep because I was thinking about the chances of Arsenal [...]

Impressive Italians and the boring ‘middle part’ of transfer saga’s – Arsenal style…

Happy Monday folks, how you all doing? It was Father's Day in the UK and that meant three trips to various locations for me n The Management, which meant very little time for the watching of football, so I have little to say on the Euro's on this drab London morning. I did watch the [...]

Unai proves Arsenal are cursed in Europe!

Seeing Unai Emery lift the Europa League Trophy for the fourth time last night, having been to five finals, I couldn't help but wonder: "Are Arsenal ACTUALLY cusrsed in Europe?" This might sound like a bit of a lamenting blog this morning but honestly I am offering up a wry smile as I write it. [...]

There is no silver bullet for Arsenal Football Club

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. We are less than a week away from it all being over and I am starting to get excited. The thought of three months away from having to shout at my TV because young men in their 20s and 30s can't make me happy on a football pitch makes [...]
