West Ham at home: we need players with passing range

Happy Saturday one and all, hope you're having a good one, especially since the season can now officially start today after a couple of engine stalls. Of course the engine could still fall apart on us today and anybody expecting West Ham to be a nice easy ride should probably have a think about that [...]

Emery did his presser yesterday which of course is delicious for somebody who needs something to write about on a Friday morning commute, so I got one am hoping that he replicates this format for the rest of his Arsenal tenure, cos it dun'half 'elp with my #content. I like that he's open to talking [...]

Will tactical subs continue for Emery?

Having talked quite a bit yesterday on our Wednesday night 'A Little Bit Arsenal' show about how Emery isn't afraid to hook players regardless of their status in the squad, this morning I find myself waking up thinking about the substitutions he's making at the moment, wondering whether it will remain that way all season. [...]

Howdy folks, hope you've started your day in a positive fashion, reading through messages of Dennis Bergkamp who yesterday in 1995 signed for The Arsenal and went on to become a legend at the club. Thierry will always be my king, but Dennis is god. That's how it is with Arsenal fans. As for modern [...]

Season reboot after difficult start – an opportunity for Emery

Two days after the defensive shambles that was Stamford Bridge and still the result is stinging a bit, but after a day of boozing for the parents Ruby wedding anniversary, plus reading the views of the players and other Arsenal fans, in pleased that we all seem a little more chilled about a second defeat [...]

A weird result at Stamford Bridge – positives and frustrations

I feel weird writing about Arsenal this morning. Weird because I don't know exactly how I feel. Often I will feel happiness, elation, anger, sadness, frustration, but today I feel a little bit of everything. And that's weird. Ultimately I guess the emotion that overrides all is sadness because we once again lost at Stamford [...]

High pres versus high press: Chelsea v Arsenal preview

Saturday is football and football is Saturday. I love it when The Arsenal play on a Saturday (even if the actual kick off time is rubbish). It feels right and proper. And what with this being the first Saturday of the season it feels extra exciting. I have that nervous butterflies in the stomach feeling [...]

Emery’s positive vibe presser

Unai Emery delivered his second press conference of the new season yesterday and I think it's fair to say it was a mixed bag for us. The positives are that he's getting to grips with the language more every week and it feels like he should be able to deliver a pretty flawless presser by [...]

Arsenal Deadwood sequel to pave way for Ramsey signing?

Happy Thursday y'all! It's technically still summer in the UK but given the drizzle that has engulfed my particular corner of the world, you'd never have guessed it, because it's looking pretty grim. As grim as Carl Jenkinson's hopes of getting out of Football limbo, where he currently resides, too expensive salary-wise to leave Arsenal [...]

Ivan’s at ChampMan again; Elneny offski?

I wonder if Ivan, Raoul and Sven have been playing Football Manager over the summer, because that's the only fathomable explanation why they've decided to issue a 'not-quite-official' declaration that Unai Emery's job is safe. There were a few reputable places online reporting it yesterday and when I read it whilst on my way to [...]
