I completely avoided football this weekend, on account of the Cup semi finals taking place and also a certain team being crowned champions. The good news is that as Arsenal fans we have something else to worry about tomorrow, but as I went to the pub yesterday with The Management for a spot of lunch [...]
Me having suggested that perhaps they'd take the day off yesterday, of course Mikel Arteta rocked up to do his press conference in the afternoon after I'd posted some thoughts, such is my luck. I don't mind, it gives me something to have a look at on an Easter Saturday morning, although aside from some [...]
It wasn't until Arteta's post-match comments after the Fulham win that I realised that this Saturday lunchtime we could be travelling to Fulham with an entire defensive back line missing depending on what he says in his presser today. Calafiori, Gabriel, White and Tomiyasu all out. Timber came off and if he's missing you can [...]
At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]
This weekend's game feels like one of the most low-key of games against United that I can remember. I've been watching Sky Sports attempt to build it up as some kind of crunch match, but I think all of us know that it really isn't anything of the sort: United have nothing to play for [...]
Ok Leo, all eyes on you now mate. I know you've looked a bit sullen at times, Arteta has talked about how you don't like it when you're not playing, so now is your chance to shine because you are basically going to play every possible game between now and the end of the season. [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the weekend, in which we face yet another massive game tomorrow, so yesterday and today becomes all about the build up to that. Although having said that I do think the Villa situation is interesting. I listened to the Arsenal Vision podcast yesterday whilst out on a walk and I [...]
It's Friday, we've barely had time to breathe post the NLD, yet Mikel Arteta goes in front of the press at some stage today (at the time of me penning this) to talk about tomorrow evening's game against Villa - yet another 'must win'. Obviously looking ahead to that game is going to be the [...]
It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
Happy Christmas Eve y’all. Hope you’re enjoying the Christmas period and, like me, are already moving yourself in to Gorge Mode like I am. My normal approach the day after Mike Arteta has had his press conference is to pour over every word of his ahead of the game on 27th December, but given that [...]
