Now that we know that Big Bill Saliba is out for an 'extended period', Arsenal's need for a little more expediency in the transfer market has become even more acute. We all already knew, in reality, because we've been hearing the stories from the French press. But as an Arsenal fan, you still await to [...]

Arsenal’s biggest pre-season win is Timber and White back

By |2026-07-21T09:28:31+01:00July 21st, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, Mikel Arteta, pre season|2 Comments

Having spent the last few weeks worrying about how many of our players are going to come back from the World Cup in one piece, yesterday it was nice to see a training video released of some of those players not at the competition return to pre-season training yesterday. The most pleasing of all has [...]

So…Who starts against Coventry?

I saw a video yesterday of Rice and Odegaard having a long conversation after the England v Norway game on Saturday evening. Seeing those two locked in a chat was interesting, and had me thinking what they might be talking about. Maybe Martin was asking Declan how sick he was? Maybe they were talking about [...]

The only thing I want from this World Cup is Arsenal’s players back fit

By |2026-06-10T10:35:58+01:00June 10th, 2026|Arsenal FC, injuries, Internationals, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Maybe it's weird and irrational, but this World Cup hasn't even started yet, and all I want to happen is for our Arsenal boys to come home. Perhaps this feeling was triggered by the Jurrien Timber news, which I spoke about yesterday, or maybe it was the news from Tommy Tuchel that Bukayo Saka is [...]

The strange waiting game before Burnley

By |2026-05-14T08:32:44+01:00May 14th, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, premier league|1 Comment

None of us expected anything from last night, I don’t think, so I’ll be surprised if most Gooners watched City’s procession game against Palace. The hope I’m taking from the overall result is two-fold: Palace players ALREADY having an eye on their Europa Conference League Final after the Premier League has finished. I saw a [...]

Fixture politics and fragile fitness

It seems there's a bit of a fixture argument going on with Man City. Well, not so much an argument, but rather a 'discussion', if the reports are to be believed, for which City wants to play Bournemouth in their rearranged fixture slot before Palace. I didn't really understand the significance of that until I [...]

Have you eaten? Arteta needs to know ahead of Bournemouth today…

I loved his comment in the press conference yesterday: The players know it, our supporters know it, it's an early kick-off, so get up early, have an early breakfast, bring your lunch, bring your dinner, and let's all go together for it because it has to be a big day. I went out and had [...]

Southampton defeat: One prediction right, but Arsenal got everything else wrong

By |2026-04-05T08:17:22+01:00April 5th, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, FA Cup, injuries, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, Rant|0 Comments

There we just two things that were good about yesterday's performance and result against Southampton: I predicted the line-up spot on Max Dowman Perhaps you could also point to the impact Viktor Gyokeres made from the bench, following up his goals for Sweden with a smartly taken finish to draw us level in that second [...]
