Don't think there's any other place to start today than to congratulate the Arsenal Women for overturning a 2-0 away first leg defeat to Real Madrid, to win 3-0 with those second half goals to send the Emirates wild last night on full time. Fair do's to the ladies, because in a similar vein to [...]
Morning folks, we all good, on this wet and windy Tuesday? We'll get a Mikel Arteta press conference later on today ahead of the game against Girona and I suspect the team will be flying out during the day at some stage as we prepare for our final game of this annoying Champions League group [...]
Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]
Yesterday's City defeat has cast today's game in a slightly different light I think. I still believe that if Arsenal lose, we're probably out of the title race, but a draw puts us one point closer to them and although Liverpool will be nine points clear of us, that isn't unsurmountable. Liverpool won against Villa [...]
Really tough one today, this. Tough because the margin for error basically feels zero. Tough because it's away from home. Tough because of memories of injustice that linger from last season. Tough because Newcastle are a good team and, as I said yesterday, better than their league table position suggests. And tough because Jarred Gillett [...]
Big game today. VERY big game. Made even bigger, even tougher, by the fact we have a number of question marks over players. We know Odegaard and Saliba are 100% out, we can be pretty sure about Calafiori, but what about Saka? Timber? There are so many questions that we all want answered and all [...]
Tricky one, this one today, because Bournemouth are no mugs. As Arteta said, Antonio Iraloa has created a well-drilled, well-coached, progressive passing (they’re seventh in the league on progressive passing numbers just behind us, Liverpool, Brighton, City and The Scum) team who have not had some of the results they - and a few - [...]
I don't usually lead with stuff about the Arsenal women, because I'm not as close to the goings on, but seeing the news break yesterday that Jonas Eidevall had resigned as Head Coach was a bit of a surprise, I have to say. It's also very unusual these days to see a coach resign rather [...]
Ok so it looks like Rice is safe from injury, following playing (and scoring) last night in the England game against Finland. I didn't bother watching it, I wasn't interested in it, I've just checked in to see the score and see some of the goals and Rice's one was a classic lung-buster from our [...]
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]
