Morning folks.  It's matchday again! After a ten day hiatus, The Arsenal are back, the nerves are back, the trepidation remains and the trip to Leicester - whilst ordinarily I'd see it as an opportunity to potentially rack up some goals given their position and form - that is fraught with concern given our attacking [...]

Arteta and Arsenal get the approach wrong at Newcastle

After just a few minutes at St James' Park I had an inkling that this game was going to be very much a case of Deja Vu for us up in the North East. A bouncing ball in the middle of the park wasn't won by Partey, Isaak was found in space in behind and Arsenal [...]

Arsenal’s slim chances buoyed by our good form

The up side of playing this evening in the League Cup is that we find ourselves - well, I do anyway - quickly deviating away from the disappointment of TDD with a match in which suddenly there's a wee bit of optimism amongst the fanbase. It's odd because when the first leg of this tie [...]

Arteta should unleash Martinelli against Villa today

It's matchday folks! And I feel like I'm going to be saying this a lot for the remainder of the season....but it absolutely IS a 'must win', because even though Brentford have a great home record, they held City to a 2-2 draw on Tuesday night, I suspect Liverpool might win this one. They've drawn [...]

Another tough south coast Arsenal away day

Is it me, or does it feel like we’ve played tough game after tough game this season? I get it - “you have to play everyone twice” as well as “everyone plays each other twice”, but still, it’s really felt like this is week after week in which we’ve had some super tough fixtures. And [...]

Nwaneri slips in to an Arsenal team building momentum

Well now, that was much better than the Ipswich game, eh? In fairness, there is of course a lot to do with game state with all matches and the one on 27th at home was against a team absolutely battered in their previous match and therefore naturally not wanting to create a spiral of doom [...]

Arsenal’s efficiency against Palace is welcome indeed

Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]

Prepare yourselves for a stinky game against long-ball deep block merchants Everton

A home match day again see's us up against 15th-placed Everton and an opportunity to at least keep pace with runaway leaders Liverpool, who will absolutely beat Fulham today on their own turf, if last weekend's game is anything to go by. Let's face it, we did everything to win that game and it was [...]

A makeshift cast of understudies for both Arsenal and Monaco tonight?

Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]

A high-up-the-pitch turnover game is what Arsenal should be aiming for

Yesterday I did a bit of a look at West Ham, but with Arteta and Lopetegui having their press conferences yesterday, we have a little more detail and I think I'll obviously focus a little more on us today. But before that, the West Ham team news, which Lopetegui talked about alongside handing our a [...]
