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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This morning I've woken up and the first thought popping in to my head is: "What are we going to do about Thomas Partey, eh?" I wonder if Arteta is thinking the same? Maybe, but maybe not, because perhaps he has more information about the Ghanaian that we do not have? Perhaps he is privy [...]
I feel rather apprehensive about tonight's game. It's old wounds you see. I remember when United were a bit of a joke under Moyes just after Fergie left and they beat us on their patch and got a 0-0 at our gaff after we utterly battered them with De Gea having essentially the game of [...]
So it appears that Granit Xhaka's injury also included a bone break as well, which is the reason he's been out a little longer than we originally feared when he went down injured. Obviously that's also the reason why - despite the fact he's been seen in training and is doing ball work already - [...]
