Arsenal and Pepe: two enigmas

What more could a man ask for than three points the day before his birthday? Yep, I celebrate getting a year older. Yesterday I was one age and today I am another. That's how it works. And I like to think in honour of my ever increasing age, Arsenal...eventually...did the business last night in the [...]

Matchday number three in the Europa League brings about it a team named after the stuff growing in Tottenham's trophy cabinet. Yep, Molde are coming to town, which means we've got an opportunity to see how our team stacks up against the current reigning Norwegian Champions who currently sit second in the Eliteserien league. And [...]

The unpredictability of Arsenal’s first XI

Howdy folks and welcome to another midweek of jam-packed football action, which continues for us tomorrow evening with the home visit of Molde to The Arsenal. I suspect Mikel will take to the virtual stage and I think the key questions he'll be asked should centre around his team selection tomorrow night, because whilst Molde [...]

Changing Arsenal’s front three and letting go of the reins a little

Morning y'all and happy Tuesday unto thee. I'm playing Lockdown2 countdown at the moment by visiting my local watering holes in the evening and sampling the amber nectar they have on display. It's not that I particularly need to be having a beer every night, but when that smooth taste of a draught of beer is [...]

Arteta’s plan and Arsenal’s high press see off Man United

And a very good morning to you, my fellow Gooners! Hope you're having a grand ol' day and after a victory like we got yesterday, I am sure that you are, and will do for the rest of this week. It's a lovely feeling to start the week having seen your team get a big [...]

Can Arsenal use Partey and pace to spring the trap against Man United?

Morning all and welcome to match day. This is a match day that, let's be honest, has rarely been a fun one for us and given both teams' respective form I'm not exactly overly confident of us getting three points today. There have been times where I've thought "this year, with that United team and [...]

Have you bought in to Project Arteta?

Afternoon folks and welcome to another weekend, this one on the eve of what feels like it might be #Lockdown2 in the UK unfortunately. It's going to be another tough winter and for those who are struggling to look for a new job, like Huss Fahmy, it might be a difficult Christmas. Yes indeed, the [...]

Arsenal squaddies get the job done against Dundalk

Morning all and welcome to the gateway to the weekend: Friday. These Friday's have become familiar to us, when we have to digest and dissect a game last night in the Europa League and thankfully, for the second week in a row, it is a victory that we are thinking about. Dundalk were dispatched with [...]

Rotate the heck out of Arsenal tonight, Arteta…

Morning all and welcome to matchday Thursday. Now, there are two schools of thought when it comes to how we approach today's game: Name a strong team, batter our opponent, then sub off as many key players as possible for Sunday's game away to Man United Name a completely rotated side, run the risk of [...]

Dundalk ahead, but my mind is on being Mike Dean’d at Old Trafford

Morning all and welcome to another middle of the week nothing-a-thon. I am of course talking about Arsenal and perhaps unsurprisingly given the general level of malaise felt around our performance last weekend, it is all a little quiet from the club at the moment. I'm kinda ok with that though. Long gone are the [...]
