Elneny’s absence shows reckless internationals; no five sub rules is a DISADVANTAGE to Arsenal

By |2020-11-17T08:40:35+00:00November 17th, 2020|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Internationals, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

Well, it was always going to happen but yesterday it was confirmed: An Arsenal player has contracted COVID-19 and will now need to self isolate for two weeks. Mohammed Elneny is the victim of the virus and once again what this has done is highlight to me at least that these internationals are even worse [...]

Partey, Xhaka and Ceballos – let’s see if that midfield trio can work

Still not a lot going on in the Arsenal world today, well, other than the ladies football in which the Arsenal women drew yesterday. But I've never really been able to get myself 'in' to it to be honest. It's the same with the youth football too. I want players coming through, it is great [...]

Arteta will make changes in his team – he has to

By |2020-11-14T08:02:36+00:00November 14th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Attack, Mikel Arteta, premier league|2 Comments

Morning folks and happy Saturday unto thee. I went to bed at 12am last night having taken receipt of a beer machine that allows you to put a can or bottle in a portable tap thing, then pour a draught pint, but unfortunately my body clock does not afford me a lie in these days, [...]

A decision needs to be made on Maitland-Niles

Happy Friday y'all. Hope you're doing well. I have to level with you. Even these days, with some form of Arsenal involvement in the England games, I'm not going to rouse myself to actually watching any of a game between England and Ireland that is a friendly with absolutely no real meaning to it. The [...]

Chambers and Saliba’s vital minutes to spell future first team options?

By |2020-11-12T08:12:01+00:00November 12th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Defence, Europa League, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Morning folks. Here comes international break Thursday and with it a whole heap of...well...not a lot, really. The best Arsenal scraps we have to feed off are an under-23s game in which Chambers and Saliba played, as well as Gareth Southgate asking if Bukayo Saka is ok after the defeat to Villa. BUkayo broke down [...]

Give Pepe his chance to deliver Arsenal’s X-factor

By |2020-11-11T08:11:30+00:00November 11th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Attack, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to the midweek of the first international break. This is always one of the more tedious periods in the season and knowing that we have another week and a half before proper football comes back is frustrating to say the least. What we also get at this time of the international [...]

Taking the ‘rough’ with the ‘smooth’ with new manager Arteta

By |2020-11-10T08:10:42+00:00November 10th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|2 Comments

I'm still trying to figure out in my head why I'm still mad about the Villa game. We're now two days after the defeat and usually after a blog post mortem and generally trying to fill my life with other stuff, I am able to just put defeats in a metaphorical box, move on, prep [...]

Cowardly Arsenal outfought by Villa

That was a disgusting performance last night from Arsenal. It was cowardly, lacked intensity and, frankly, should be worthy of some serious examination and change by the club in the cold light of day this morning. If last week it was time to hold our hands up and admit that Arteta got the approach and [...]

Arsenal need to find an answer to Villa’s low block and counter

And here we are at another match day folks. It’s a late kick off, a disgusting ‘pay-per-view’ kick off, with a return of a former player we all know and love in the shape of Emi Martinez, as we line up against Aston Villa at The Emirates tonight. We all know Emi is having the [...]

Arteta’s Premier League options – five subs or not

By |2020-11-07T09:22:50+00:00November 7th, 2020|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

So we had ourselves a press conference from the boss yesterday and that included a raft of questions from the assembled press on the Zoom call. He was asked about team news and the good news appears that we haven't picked up any knocks from Thursday night, so that's good. With games coming thick and [...]
