So, those pesky Chilean's have confirmed that Alexis will be playing for Chile tonight which whilst could leave some to being happy because his injury isn't as bad as first seemed, given the strapping on his leg You'd suspect they are patching him up and hoping for the best rather than him fully recovering. I'd imagine [...]

Pressing in packs – a new Arsenal dimension

So, it turns out, that it's not just Arsenal that November hates this season. There's no historical evidence to suggest that the Spuds have a traditionally tough time during this particular month, but after one game they're experiencing the same level of blood-pressure heightening fury, that we've been dealing with for years. They lost yesterday [...]

Ghosts of Swansea past need to be erased for title belief

It's match day! Hoorah! Proper football is finally back! Yippee!  As you can tell, I'm rather excited that Arsenal are back in action today, after what has felt like the longest interlull in a long, long, time. It's Swansea at home for a three o'clock kick off and whilst I can't be there to see [...]

Fortune favours Arsenal at Burnley? Or just rewards?

I arise this morning in a nice Manchester hotel, having stayed the night in the land of rain, but thoroughly happy that mine and The Management's away day excursion wasn't ruined by the football result. It could have, well, sort of been a little bit rubbish though, if we hadn't have scored the most last [...]

Midfield selection and Monreal support should dictate team to face Hull

What's this? Two 3pm kick offs after each other? How novel, eh? It's bloody typical that last week I couldn't bask in the glory of a traditional 3pm kick off at home, on account of being abroad, as well as this week's game on account of it being away. And I am up in Northumberland [...]

Bizarre selection decisions rectified against PSG – just

How about last night's action for an eventful evening of European football, eh? Where do we even start??? How about pre-game, when the surprise, shock and outrage of Le Boss' team selection left some spiralling into a pit of their own melancholy, whilst others were left simply scratching their heads. After all, the line up [...]

I want my Arsenal squad rotation cake and eat it

Back in Blighty, back on my usual commute to work, but thankfully, also back in to the swing of all things Arsenal and there'll be no time to waste before we're off again, with the small matter of French Champions Paris Saint Germain to contend with. I'd imagine that there will be a presser at [...]
