Saliba’s injury and why we should all be worried about Holding long term

I'm probably going to spend the vast bulk of today's ramblings talking about how worried I am with regards to William Saliba's fitness concerns, so before I do that, I'm taking a moment to remember the wonderful player that was David Rocastle. He sadly died 22 years ago today and whilst he didn't end his [...]

Sweating on the fitness of Partey

By |2023-03-28T08:36:34+01:00March 28th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, midfield, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

I don't know about you guys, but when I saw that Thomas Partey was an unused substitute in the game against Angola yesterday evening, my initial thought was of relief. After all, if he's made the bench, then he must be available to be used, right? I mean, otherwise if he isn't fit to play [...]

I was going to talk about some of the players who are on international duty, how I am praying for their safe return, having a little look at how far they are travelling over the next few days and then working out who I thought might be the one we need to keep a closest [...]

Time to ask some Tomiyasu questions?

Happy Wednesday folks. How we all doing? A bit better than poor ol' Tomiyasu, who the club confirmed yesterday had undergone surgery on his knee and he will be out for the season. Such a shame. Such a big blow to such a good player, but sadly we're now in to the territory where we [...]

Arsenal: One. Game. At. A. Time.

Howdy folks and welcome to Tuesday. It's funny because last night when we were chatting on the Same Old Arsenal podcast about the different stages of emotions we go through in the week leading up to a game. This was in reference to the Palace game and I admitted that when I do my musings [...]

Palace are an unknown quantity today for The Arsenal

After the three points were confirmed against Fulham last weekend, I gave a little fist pump in the air in my kitchen to myself. That felt like a big win. I immediately started thinking about this weekend. "If we can beat Palace and Leeds, then we'll be in a really good position to go for [...]

Morning Gooners, we all ok? I went out last night and hand a skin-full and my head is pounding, so please forgive me if today's blog looks a little rough around the edges; even tapping at the keyboard is painful right now ;-) We should get some kind of press conference / team news update [...]

Disappointment and frustration at lacklustre Arsenal Europa exit

By |2023-03-17T08:57:22+00:00March 17th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Europa League, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta, Rant|4 Comments

I am going to admit to frustration and disappointment this morning. I really wanted us to go all the way to the Europa League Final. Perhaps my motivation is more from self interest than from what this Arsenal team can and should focus on, but the way I feel this morning, I don't really feel [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Wednesday. Having to go old school on the blog today, because the desktop version of the site seems to have gone down, so until that is up and running, I’m penning some thoughts from the iPhone, so please excuse the inevitable typos and predictive text change words in to other [...]
