There's really no other place to start than the deciding two factors in yesterday's 1-0 defeat to the Italian Champions Inter. At one end of the pitch Mikel Merino is punched in the head from Jan Sommer, at the other end of the pitch a ball flicks up on to his arm and the - [...]
One more day to go until the big showdown against Liverpool and the managers have both had their say. So, what have we learned? From Arteta As usual on the injury front, not a lot really, but I think none of us expected to get any real detail to be honest. On Saka, Timber and [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing this Tuesday? A lot better than 115 Charges FC, it appears, as they now have the utterly scandalous situation of playing Watford this evening at home, just 48 hours after playing us (which they were at home) on Sunday, as well as having played Inter (which was at home) [...]
No matter how much I might try to today, there is absolutely no way of looking at that game yesterday any other way than through the lens of that 49th minute ‘incident’ featuring Veltman and Rice. As you will already know, on a yellow, Rice and Veltman came together by the corner flag and a [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? Coming to terms with reality right now? I think I am. Yesterday was a time to feel a bit down, to be a bit sad, to feel like we might never ever win the league again and Pep and his nation state club will go on forever and accountability [...]
On my Thursday morning run today I was listening to the gents on the Arsenal Opinion podcast and my ol' mate Johnny made a statement that made me stop to do some internal maths. He said that if City drop any points in their last three games, then we will win the league. There are, [...]
Yesterday I spoke about the importance of not taking Bournemouth too lightly. There had been a few Arsenal fans that I'd seen who had been talking about needing to bring up the goal difference against a team on the beach, but teams like Bournemouth are dangerous because there is no pressure and they can play [...]
The countdown commences and yesterday it was the opportunity for both managers to take to their respective press rooms to respond to questions from the press. As usual Arteta didn't really give up much on the team news and approach, but you wouldn't really ecpect him to because: He hasn't done that all season anyway. [...]
Well, that was a bloody load of fun, wasn’t it? Pre game I was nervous. I’ll hold my hands up to that. I didn’t know what kind of Chelsea we’d be up against. Pochettino said beforehand Palmer would be missing, that Gusto wouldn’t be there and that Chilwell wasn’t fit. I’ve heard that story before. [...]
I know it’s a little “Captain Hindsight” with what I’m about to say, but just as I got to my seat in the North Bank to settle in to a rotated Arsenal side take on a depleted and injury-hit Luton Town, I said to Nick and Lee - the gents around me - that I [...]
