Gabriel seems fine (phew), but it lays out the defensive tightrope we could be walking

We're nearly there folks...closing down on exiting this interminable international break and we can get our focus back to Everton on Sunday, which will be a tough trip as it always is for us, having not won there in what feels like a bazillion years. Hopefully we'll also have the benefit of having Gabriel back [...]

Hello again, fellow Gooners, welcome to Friday! Normally I'd be talking about how I'm excited for the football this weekend, but as we both know that is not the case, with us instead crossing everything that we get our players returning in one piece and not just the shattered remains of players handed back to [...]

Odegaard escapes – now to get Saka, Ramsdale and Zinchenko back in tact

Without having any kind of official confirmation from the club it is impossible to say if we've made it through 'round three' of the 'pray no Arsenal players get injured on international duty' roulette. But it sounds - on the face of it - like everyone has made it through without any massive injuries or [...]

Round one of ‘Arsenal international damage report’ complete

This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]

I was going to talk about some of the players who are on international duty, how I am praying for their safe return, having a little look at how far they are travelling over the next few days and then working out who I thought might be the one we need to keep a closest [...]

FIFA and the World Club Cup

By |2022-12-20T08:48:05+00:00December 20th, 2022|analysis, Internationals, Rant, soccer|0 Comments

There's not really a lot of Arsenal news going on at the moment. So with that in mind, as I went for my run this morning, I toyed with the idea of talking about the FIFA announcement of a World Club Cup tournament from 2025. I reckon I've been pretty clear on my feelings about [...]

The Argies, Arsenal Women and Mudryk rolling on

So, we now know what the World Cup Final will be, with Argentina up against the French, who finally ended those Moroccan dreams with a 2-0 victory. I watched the first half, saw Morocco create a couple of good chances, but then had to head out, so didn't manage to grab the second half and [...]
