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 [...]
Let's start today with a bit of sad news, which is that Ben White now misses the rest of the season through injury, as a result of the clash he had with Summerville on Sunday. The club confirmed yesterday that he had sustained a 'significant medial ligament' injury in his knee, which would rule him [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
At Arteta's press conference yesterday, he was inevitably asked about the withdrawals of players from international duty and - according to the official site version of events, anyway - he played the most impressive of straight bats. To be fair, he will have known these questions would be coming; he'd have been briefed by the [...]
I don't really write about the Arsenal Women. I'm a follower, of course, I want them to do well, and of course I watch when I can, but I can't profess to be an expert or know all the details about the WSL or Women's Champions League, so I kind of hold my hands up [...]
Ok, so, I think we know we have at least one guy coming back from the two sets of internationals, not broken, as Kai Havertz came off at halftime yesterday evening, having scored a penalty right on the strike of the half to put Germany one-up in Stuttgart. Phew. With him returning, having played an [...]
Yesterday, I led with the title of the blog: Stop breaking our players. At this point, you just have to laugh. Because the latest guy to return to London Colney is Pierro Hincapie, who limped off against Morocco on 72 minutes, and I have to wonder what the actual eff he was still doing on the [...]
Madueke's withdrawal was expected from the Engaldn Camp. He was pictured leaving the match on Friday in a knee brace, so I don't think anyone was surprised that the outcome was that he'd return back to London Colney. But Saka? And Rice? Apparently, according to the official England Football website, it is for 'medical assessment.' [...]
