Mikel Arteta is about six months older than me. I'm more fair-haired than he is, so my greys don't show as easily, but there's no way that he doesn't dye his hair, I don't believe it. And as for those white teeth, well, I can spot a bleacher when I see one. Anyhoo, on to [...]

Building something at Arsenal, building leaders

Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday. We'll hopefully get a press conference this morning, unless London Colney has blown away with all the high winds we're seeing in the UK right now. There's a that has been brewing and it isn't Mikel's latest falling out that is causing the ruckus, but instead Mother Nature that [...]

It’s not a war chest Arsenal have, it’s a replenishment jar

This morning I stumbled downstairs in my usual half awake state, opened the fridge, got out my berry smoothie I have for breakfast, then flicked open my social media and news feeds on my phones to see what is happening in the world. Do you now what the first piece of speculation was that I [...]

How the hell can Arsenal keep every player fit?

And so the saga ends. Relatively quicker than the Özil one that dragged out for two or three seasons, the Aubameyang saga was concluded within two months, as the club confirmed it had terminated the contract with the player by ‘mutual consent’. Whatever that means. And I say that because there are a myriad of [...]

An Arsenal fan’s irrational fear of losing Bruno Guimaraes

So it appears the latest direction of 'Arsenal irritation' travel appears to be aimed towards France and, specifically, Lyon, who last night supposedly accepted a €40million bid for Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, with the player supposedly seeing it as an offer 'too good to turn down'. Cue the outrage from many Arsenal fans that we [...]

Grind out a win today, Arsenal

It's Burnley, it's at home, they've had plenty of rest and we've had both the physical and mental hit that the game against Liverpool did to us on Thursday last week. But Arsenal cannot feel sorry for itself today, we simply cannot afford it, if we want this season to be one in which we [...]

Is there an unconscious bias that exists that hampers Arsenal?

Morning folks. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Another Arsenal-less Saturday it is, although let's be honest, we're going to have to get used to that in the immediate future, because in February we only have two matches to play! I know it's a short month, but it won't feel like it from an Arsenal [...]

League Cup should be a focus; there are others out there than Vlahovic

Morning all and welcome to Tuesday. Now, I feel like I've gone on a little bit about the League Cup situation and the postponement lately, so after today I am hoping that I don't bother to bring it up unless talking about the actual football context, but I do feel compelled to do a little [...]

Tactical and player mistakes knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup against Forest

For the second time in four years Arsenal travelled to the City Ground to play Championship Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup and for the second time in four years Arsenal's FA Cup run was halted as quickly as it began in ignominious fashion as we were knocked out to a [...]

Rotation is key but perhaps a fresh face in midfield for The Arsenal?

Match day again and today it's the Carabao/League/Littlewoods/Carling/Rumbelows/Milk Cup that will see Arsenal face off at home to Sunderland for a place in the Semi Final. Football is all about winning matches and, more specifically, trying to win trophies and a win tonight would take us close enough to a semi-final tie in which we'd [...]
