Morning folks and welcome to another Friday. I was going to say 'Lockdown Friday' but I don't think we're still in Lockdown, are we? I don't know exactly when it changed, it seemed to seep into whatever this hybrid between Lockdown and normality is, but anyway, happy 'Whatever it is' to you and your kin. [...]

Don’t lose your sh*t over a friendly fitness exercise defeat to Brentford

So it turns out there was a bit of football played again yesterday, as we entertained Brentford at an empty Emirates bowl and unfortunately lost 3-2, with the Bees bagging a goal in the last couple of minutes to see off the game. It was all a bit cloak and dagger until the last minute, [...]

No money at Arsenal and swap deals are even less likely

Morning folks and happy Sunday to thee. If you're reading this in the UK then it's a bank holiday tomorrow, which turns today into a sort of pseud-Saturday, which is always lovely. Think we're due to get a bit of sunshine too, so hopefully I'll be able to sit out in the garden and slowly [...]

Seeking advice from my Dani Ceballos wall calendar

I'm on day three of my 'work from home' lockdown and today's mission was to go to Sainsbury's over the road and buy two anti-bacterial soaps. We have just run out in our en-suite and there's another running low and unlike so many knobs out there, I'm not contributing to the panic that has set [...]

Speculating on Arsenal’s summer rebuild

Yo folks, hope all is well? I’m groggy this morning. I have been off the booze for a few weeks so I could drop a few pounds in weight, but last night The Management and I just felt like having a few glasses, so an entire bottle of Chianti later and I’m waking up this [...]

Hang on a minute…’Gritty Arsenal grind out 1-0 win away’???

Morning folks. It feels weird this morning. It feels very weird. We won, which is good. We won back-to-back games, which is also good. But we also did it in a style and approach that was resolute, dogged and whilst not always pretty on the eye, it did the job. Arsenal 'getting the job done'. [...]

Arsenal’s attacking problems aren’t the result of defensive stability

Morning folks. Happy Tuesday and all that jazz. I'm working from home today - benefits of a flexible company - and I've decided that I need a bit of fresh air in the morning. Only the fresh air of London isn't actually that fresh, plus it's pretty cold, so all-in-all it's not as great an [...]

Hope more than expectation against City at home

I can't even remember a home match day in which I've been less optimistic than I am about today's match against Man City. I mean sure, city aren't exactly the dominant force they were last season and sure, defensively they look like they can be got at. But it feels like today we could be [...]

So who is going to be Arsenal’s number 10, then?

Bloody hell Leicester, that's one way to put ten men to the sword, eh? Last night their battering of Southampton felt in very stark contrast to the two pretty terrible football match that our players have delivered in the last week. It was ruthless, free-flowing and an example of a manager who has given his [...]
