Morning folks. Happy Friday - hope you're all good? We did an interesting pod last night with Alan Alger and Anthony Gale (son of Tony Gale, ex-West Ham player), which was a match preview, a bit of discussion over xG and its uses, as well as the over celebration discussion that has been rumbling on [...]

The Arsenal defensive chicken or egg situation

Morning folks and happy Thursday to you and yours. I flicked on the Villa/Chelsea game last night and watched about 20 minutes of it as I was doing other stuff in the house. What a weird two teams those two are, eh? Chelsea, who looked absolutely ridiculous at the weekend at home to Wolves and [...]

Well, here we are, ladies and gents. Time to strap ourselves in because this is the big one and this is a test that this Arsenal team simply must pass if it wants to be in contention for the top honours going in to the end of the season. The period over Christmas in which [...]

Is Partey’s time up at The Arsenal?

There was Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday and whilst there was a flurry of questions that he answered about Liverpool, team news, young players, the transfer window, etc, I think I'll spend the vast bulk of today speaking about Thomas Partey, who Arteta confirmed had a set back in training this last few days and [...]

All eyes on Arteta’s presser ahead of ‘make or break’ game this weekend

By |2024-02-02T08:43:40+00:00February 2nd, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Here we are at Friday, the transfer window has closed, we've made no incomings, there have been a fair few outgoings, but they've all been younger players on loan or released because they had contracts running down/would have been low value releases anyway, so all-in-all it's been a quiet one and I think if we're [...]

Would you take a ‘loan only’ transfer window from now on?

Morning Gooners and welcome to Thursday, in which we now know that the Klopp and PGMOL farewell tour appears to be underway, as Paul Tierney decided to settle his differences with the German manager and basically give them immunity to dodgy refereeing decisions by booking a Chelsea player early on for diving when there was [...]

Arsenal need to banish the Forest recent history to get title talk back on track

Morning folks and back we are finally for another match day for The Arsenal. I tell you what, hasn't January felt a little sparse, eh? Owing of course to our FA Cup exit which has meant two rounds have gone on since we went out to Liverpool, we found ourselves with even more time for [...]

Arsenal vs The embodiment of Low Block FC

Happy matchday folks! Hope you're all good? Excited for The Arsenal finally being back today? I know I bloody am! It feels like it's been AGES! It's almost as if it's been worse than an international break, for some weird reason, as I recently pointed out here. But it's back, The Arsenal are back, there's [...]

Is Smith Rowe impressing in Dubai enough to kick him on?

By |2024-01-19T05:25:57+00:00January 19th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league|1 Comment

Happy Friday folks, hope you guys are all good? It'll be press conference day today ahead of the Palace game and with less than two week's until the transfer window closes I think it's inevitable that Arteta is once again asked the question on whether there are any incomings happening this January and, inevitably, he [...]

Getting subs right in the second half of the season

Morning folks and welcome to Thursday, as we tick ever-closer towards that game against Palace for the 12.30pm kick off on Saturday lunchtime. I'd asked for a marginal gain of Everton and Palace going to extra time last night and whilst it was unfortunate that it never happened, the fact that Palace put out a strong [...]
