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?

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 [...]

Morning folks and a happy Monday to you and yours. Well...as happy as a Monday as you're going to get when there's been no Arsenal on and you've had to sit through a Man United versus Tottenham game in which both sides looked a little bit pants. The night before I'd watched a ding-dong of [...]

Arsenal to swing by Jeddah on the way home for Benzema?

I didn't expect Newcastle to do us any favours yesterday, did you? Nah, didn't think so. Even when they went 2-1 up and there was only 30 minutes left to play, I was like "they'll probably lose". And they di, with the cheat code that is De Bruyne. I don't know about his barnet choices, but [...]

Dubai won’t cure all ailments, but it might help Arsenal a bit

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday. I was thinking this is a winter break weekend, but with Chelsea at home to Fulham and Newcastle playing City at St James' Park, then Everton at home to Villa and United playing the Scum at Old Trafford, clearly that isn't the case. So we have something to have [...]

Do Arsenal’s attackers need a hypnotist?

In some sort of twisted dark humour attempt at comedy my timeline on Twitter reminded me just now that on this day in 2007 we went to Anfield and put six goals past Liverpool to make it through to the League Cup Semi Final. Julio Baptista, Alex Song and Jeremie Aliadiere all got on the [...]

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

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 [...]
