In classic 'Curse of Chris' fashion after saying yesterday that Arsenal, Arteta and Aubameyang needed to sort out the situation between them quickly and quietly, it all blew up yesterday, didn't it? We got the confirmation that Aubameyang would not be captain, that he would not be available for the game against West Ham, plus [...]
Tottenahm, West Ham and Man United all won this weekend, which brings in to focus exactly what is needed from Mikel Arteta's side tonight as we face an Everton team who have had some injuries, some poor run of form, but haven't lost at home to us in four years. Last season we lost 2-1 [...]
There were United fans crying about the first Arsenal goal last night, bleating on about injustice, fair play and all of that nonsense. I'll tell you what injustice is; going to Old Trafford, being the better team for most of the match, then coming away with nothing. That's how I am feeling this morning and [...]
I feel rather apprehensive about tonight's game. It's old wounds you see. I remember when United were a bit of a joke under Moyes just after Fergie left and they beat us on their patch and got a 0-0 at our gaff after we utterly battered them with De Gea having essentially the game of [...]
Friday's are always better when you have some good news to brighten your day, or when you have something exciting going on at the weekend, eh? For me it's a bit of both, actually, as I'm off in to London for a 40th birthday party tomorrow evening which will be fun. But most important of [...]
This'll be a quick one today as I'm off to have a pre match meal with the family in Islington before the old man and I make our way to the game. Watford at home in the old days - like six or seven years ago - would be one in which you'd be wondering [...]
Well the good news appears to be that the squad injury update ahead of the game against Watford on Sunday is positive. Only Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka remain doubts. For Xhaka the main worry is in the wording from the clubs medical team that he is expected to be in full training in the [...]
Yesterday morning I went out for my morning run in the pouring rain of Northumberland and I was listening to a post match podcast, which triggered some thoughts in me about Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The thoughts revolved around the fact people are talking about us playing 4-4-2 and also trying to work out [...]
I'd take a draw today. There, I said it. I've set my stall out for today's blog early on and I'll be completely frank with you, I fear this game now that we are on the eve of it. We've scored one goal away all season, which was in the 1-0 win over Burnley. We've [...]
As weekends go, that was pretty tasty, from an Arsenal perspective wasn't it? We had our win on Friday, which meant we could just watch the games pan out knowing we had done our job. Then we had Everton stunned against Watford, followed by yesterday's results, which were almost perfect. First the Scum were beaten [...]
