Big Gabi’s bad news means a step up for the two newbies

Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and I was thinking about the Big Gabi injury. I thought to myself "it feels like every time we get an injury update from a Fabrizio Romano or an Ornstein Bomba with regards to injuries over the last 12 - 18 months, it's always been worse than is first [...]

Big Gabi’s not coming, but Oliver and Attwell are…

Had a couple of days of extreme hangover on Sunday and then yesterday, so really didn't feel like coming on here to lament about Big Gabi, but I guess you have to eventually face up to the inevitable. I watched a short clip of Martin Keown on that national radio station that has become a [...]

Is Martinelli’s injury record a cause for concern?

By |2025-11-13T13:02:34+00:00November 13th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, injuries, Mikel Arteta|2 Comments

This morning I find myself thinking about Gabriel Martinelli. One of the longest-serving players in this Arsenal squad, it's easy to forget that the Brazilian is still just 24 years old and doesn't turn 25 until next June. He broke through with us properly at 18 under Emery and had some early impressive Europa League [...]

All eyes on the Colney treatment room this week

I watched the City-Liverpool game unfold with intrigue yesterday. At the beginning of the day, in my head, this was very much a 'we can't lose either way' kind of feeling. A draw means both teams drop points. A Liverpool win means we're still five off them. A City win, whilst the least palatable, would [...]

Uncharacteristic Arsenal defending scuppers Sunderland three points

When you concede a goal in stoppage time, you always have to say you're disappointed with the result, but perhaps in the fullness of time this 2-2 draw we had at Sunderland yesterday won't be seen as the dropped points it feels like this morning. I was impressed with Sunderland as a side. They are [...]

How much of an impact can Gabriel Jesus have?

By |2025-11-07T08:04:14+00:00November 7th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, injuries, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

We didn't get the Mikel Arteta press conference that I swore I saw somebody say was going to happen yesterday, but what we did get was sight of Gabriel Jesus in full first team training, which is lovely to see. I doubt it will mean anything for this weekend, because he'll need probably a few [...]

When can we get Big Vik back?

Happy Thursday all - hope you're all good? I think we're getting a Mikel Arteta press conference this morning ahead of the Sunderland game and I don't know about you, but the main question I'd like answered is: How long is Viktor Gyokeres going to be out injured for? The talk is that it's after [...]

Arsenal players got what they needed from these internationals

By |2025-10-15T07:51:51+01:00October 15th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, Internationals, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

We're nearly there folks. International football is nearly in our rear view mirror. Well, for at least month, that is. But it appears on face value as though this latest round of games as been positive, so let's run through who did what, shall we? Starting off with the mid-morning kick off our time with [...]

Odegaard’s absence can be absorbed, but only just

By |2025-10-14T07:15:56+01:00October 14th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, injuries, Internationals, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

I think we're going to get to the point in which, despite having stockpiled a billion players over the summer, this squad is soon going to start looking thin. Such is the curse with injuries we are getting, with Odegaard now rumoured to be out until after the next international break in November, that if [...]

Mikel Merino and the ‘horses for courses’ debate

How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]
