Arsenal must overcome the ‘adversity from behind’ test this season

I watched a few bits of the Leeds vs Everton game last night, mainly because we have Leeds at the weekend and aside from the dodgy penalty given, I have to say Leeds' desire to be quite free-flowing and forward-looking was quite refreshing. Obviously as an Arsenal fan you hope they bring that to the [...]

An Un-Arteta-like performance, but grinding out a win can’t be sniffed at

There's two things you absolutely cannot do in life: Look a gift horse in the mouth Scoff at three points at Old Trafford There's plenty of time for us to all look at the performance, the individual clunkiness of some of the players and the fact that this felt like a very 'Un-Arteta'-like Arsenal performance, [...]

Arteta’s options show our strength – we need to prove it against Man United

Here we are folks - it's match day! And what a start we have to it, eh? United away. I know they won't be the force of 20 years ago, or even five years ago, but this is still Man United and it's still a place that hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us [...]

The pressers are done, so what have we learned from Arteta and Amorim?

Morning campers, how we all doing? The Premier League is now underway and last night we got ourselves our first glimpses of a Liverpool team that, as I put out on social media a week ago, I really hope defend like that all season. Sure, they still won and grabbed a last minute winner(s) which [...]

What’s the opposition and pundits view of Arsenal this weekend then?

Here we go folks. The Premier League all kicks off this evening with the Scousers beating Bournemouth at home as they get a relatively comfortable home game to get themselves going. Us? Well, we know we have to wait and we know we have to play Man United at their gaff knowing all of the [...]

Looking over at other clubs’ gardens

Ok, I just want the season up and running now, as I'm becoming a bit impatient and I'm needing to not have the 'feelings' that I've got. Those 'feelings' are the ones that are irrational and based on the fact that because nobody has really kicked a ball in anger yet, every other team has [...]

Eze could become the ‘sour taste in the mouth’

Let's do some 'real talk' here, shall we? Because it looks like - if Fabrizio Romano is to be believed - that the Scum are advancing talks ahead of us to get Eze out of Palace. The 'real talk' bit is that as much as many of us would like to, there'll be no rowing [...]

The dominoes need to fall for Arsenal if Eze is to become a ‘thing’

The sheer volume of cash that floats around the Premier League is mental, isn't it? I mean, when you get newly promoted Sunderland about to drop £51million plus add-ons (because you have to always talk about the add-ons these days, it seems) for Lois Openda from RB Leipzig, it really hits home. This is a [...]

VAR, PGMOL and a sense of familiarity brewing ahead of the new season

How does the old saying go? Nothing is certain but death and taxes...and Liverpool getting a VAR decision in their favour I watched the second half of the Community Shield game in my garden as I was prepping some food for the grill and I don't know what Arne Slot was seeing, but when he [...]

Well now, that was more like it, eh? Arsenal’s final pre season friendly of this summer ended with a pretty emphatic 3-0 win against a Champions League Athletic Bilbao, with boxes ticked all over the shop, including: Big Gabby returning to start Calafiori on the pitch for valuable minutes Timber shaking off his knock and [...]
