Arsenal get shell-shocked in Portugal

That was a tough one to take in the end and I don't think I'm the only Arsenal fan that feels a little shell shocked by the way we lost that game away to Porto last night in the Champions League. Like, I'm not even angry or ready to pile in on the team, I'm [...]

Arsenal leave another side with claret on the decks

Well this is all getting rather fun at the moment, isn't it? Arsenal romped to yet another hammering of an opponent and much like last weekend it was a claret and blue clad side who fell to our boys in fluorescent yellow. Arteta had spoken about the return of some players from injury in his [...]

Arsenal control a sorry West Ham

Well what a result that was for The Arsenal yesterday, eh? It was a performance that had everything: control, goals, returning player narratives, screamers, ole's from the away fans, the lot. If you ask me what the perfect away day looks like, it would be what those Arsenal players delivered at the London Stadium in [...]

Morning Gooners - and a happy Monday to you all! It's always a lovely Monday blog to write when the team has won a big game against a close rival to you in the league. Even though the sun isn't shining here in London, if you could see it through the clouds, you'd know that [...]

Arsenal unlock stubborn Forest – eventually…

By |2024-01-31T07:58:54+00:00January 31st, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, History, Match Review, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

When I penned my thoughts yesterday morning about how the game would be another difficult to break down Forest side, that we’d be up against a team who wanted to rapid transition counter and a side that would want us to have the ball, I don’t think I envisioned a first half that was quite [...]

Arsenal get the psychological win they needed against Palace

By |2024-01-21T04:43:12+00:00January 21st, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Match Review, premier league|0 Comments

Greetings from a warm and sunny Maldives. The Management and I arrived yesterday and have a week away from the cold weather in the UK, which is lovely, although it has it's drawbacks as I had to give up my ticket for the Palace game yesterday, which was the evening over here. And as I [...]

Arsenal’s attacking issues exposed again – we all need a reset

By |2024-01-08T08:11:14+00:00January 8th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, FA Cup, Match Review, Mikel Arteta|3 Comments

At halftime of yesterday's game I stood in the concourse of the North Bank blowing warm air on to my hands. I was cold, but what I'd seen in terms of the way Arsenal had approached the game and outplayed Liverpool had warmed my heart. Arteta had made a few changes to mix things up [...]

Christmas honours shared with a battling point at Anfield for The Arsenal

I watched last night's game from my parents house sat alongside another Gooner and, quite unusually for me, a Liverpool fan. He was my teenage Godson and at 15 he could do a fair bit of talking, so I was somewhat apprehensive of another potential defeat at Anfield. He'd already talked up Klopp as the [...]

Arsenal get by against PSV in the most rubbery of dead rubbers

By |2023-12-13T08:17:43+00:00December 13th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Match Review, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Not really sure where to go with today's post match blog musings, to be honest with you, because the situation we - thankfully - put ourselves in by winning all but one of our other Champions league games, meant that yesterday night's dead rubber was the most dead rubbery of all that you're going to [...]

Profligate Arsenal come unstuck at Villa

That one was a tough one to take yesterday, because as Arteta put it after the game, we were the better team and should have put the ball in the back of the net. We knew what we would get last night. Under the lights, on TV, Villa playing well at home and currently on [...]
