Southampton defeat: One prediction right, but Arsenal got everything else wrong

There we just two things that were good about yesterday's performance and result against Southampton: I predicted the line-up spot on Max Dowman Perhaps you could also point to the impact Viktor Gyokeres made from the bench, following up his goals for Sweden with a smartly taken finish to draw us level in that second [...]

Will there be an fit Arsenal players left by the time we play Southampton?

Yesterday, I led with the title of the blog: Stop breaking our players. At this point, you just have to laugh. Because the latest guy to return to London Colney is Pierro Hincapie, who limped off against Morocco on 72 minutes, and I have to wonder what the actual eff he was still doing on the [...]

Stop breaking our players

Madueke's withdrawal was expected from the Engaldn Camp. He was pictured leaving the match on Friday in a knee brace, so I don't think anyone was surprised that the outcome was that he'd return back to London Colney. But Saka? And Rice? Apparently, according to the official England Football website, it is for 'medical assessment.' [...]

Booing Ben White and breaking Arsenal players: I hate internationals

By |2026-03-28T09:03:15+00:00March 28th, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, Internationals, Rant|0 Comments

So, as probably most of us predicted, Ben White got the England boo-boys treatment yesterday, which is odd given he got it after he'd actually put England in front against Uruguay with his tap-in at the back post. I didn't watch the game (because why would I bother?), but having listened to Tuchel on Thursday, I [...]

Eze’s injury puts more pressure on Odegaard to come good

Football karma man, it sucks. The footballing gods in particular, man, they hate me. So I want to take this moment to offer a public apology to all of you guys who read my ramblings regularly: I have let you all down. I went Uber-positive on Sunday's blog. It was a break from the norm. I [...]

Unprofessional and abysmal Arsenal draw to terrible Wolves

That was an utter disgrace yesterday. I am starting this blog the night of the game. I never do that. This was an unprofessional Arsenal performance. This was a disgraceful performance. I am embarrassed. This is falling apart. Two wins in nine. This is a football side who have spent two-thirds of the season being [...]

The wrong attacking approach means dropped points for Arsenal against Forest

I have a real sense of gnawing frustration this morning. I watched the United/City game, and I just assumed United would be pants and City cut our lead, not the other way around, so by the time kick off came for our game, I was buzzing. There's nothing like a Sean Dyche mid-block slog-fest to [...]

Big Gabi’s bad news means a step up for the two newbies

Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and I was thinking about the Big Gabi injury. I thought to myself "it feels like every time we get an injury update from a Fabrizio Romano or an Ornstein Bomba with regards to injuries over the last 12 - 18 months, it's always been worse than is first [...]

Madueke at Arsenal is as underwhelming as you can get

Yesterday was a day at home doing lots of jobs and chores, so unusually for me, I got plenty of time to be scrolling through my social media feeds for the latest Arsenal-related transfer news. I picked a bad day to do it. That's because all the talk yesterday was on Arsenal reaching personal terms [...]

Sad and depressing day to be an Arsenal fan

Sometimes I love writing this blog. And I always love Arsenal football club. I'm proud of the way in which we - for the most part - do things properly. There's a class about Arsenal that has always been something that we, as fans, are proud of. Trophies are important, the stuff that happens on the [...]
