Tough one for Arsenal at St James’ today

Greetings fellow Gooners from the temporary home of Flo Balogun: Reims. I’m here because The Management has always wanted to visit the champagne region and it is for that reason that I’ll probably only be temporarily checking in here for the next few days. But as an Arsenal-obsessive like you, our beloved team are never [...]

Late drama doesn’t change the fact: title challenge done?

Well, that’s that then, title done and the little hope we had of maybe ending our 19 year wait for a title has evaporated right in front of my very eyes at the Emirates on an utterly atrocious night - from a defensive point of view - for The Arsenal. Southampton had scored 24 goals [...]

Show you want to be champions: beat the Saints, Arsenal

It’s match day tonight and, I’ll be completely honest with you not only am I worried that we might not deliver the kind of assured performance of a team that sits top of the league, but I’m also slightly concerned about our season longer term. That’s because Arteta had his press conference yesterday and confirmed [...]

Arteta and Real Madrid – that couldn’t be a thing – could it?

It's Wednesday, it's the middle of the week, but it is only another couple of days until matchday and after the disappointment of Sunday's draw there is half of me looking forward to hopefully seeing the team put it right at home  to Southampton, whilst the other part of me worries that a rut has [...]

Arrogant Arsenal slip up at West Ham

Quite often when I write my daily ramblings I just start typing without really knowing what the title of the blog will be. Usually it just comes to me as I draw my final conclusions. But today is different in that I've started with the title and I'm working my way from there. That's because [...]

Start fast and hopefully quieten West Ham down

Ahh man am I hungover. Started off with a stein at lunchtime and it slowly descended from there. So I’m feeling a bit fragile this morning. Don’t make my day worse Arsenal, please, I’m begging you. City made light work of Leicester City as we thought and so it means that if we want to [...]

The Saliba worry, the West Ham focus

By |2023-04-15T08:32:19+01:00April 15th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

Well we got our press conference from the boss yesterday and for me the one worrying thing that stood out was the Saliba update. We've all talked about it online, in the pubs amongst fellow Gooners, about how back injuries are apparently tough to get over and diagnose. But when you have an update from [...]

Arsenal must stop the long Liverpool diagonals

When I woke up yesterday morning I thought to myself: “don’t bother about City; they smash Southampton (who are terrible), it’ll be all on us for tomorrow, the media narrative will be set, just prepare for it”. But as much as you can tell yourself that, as much as you know what will happen, there [...]

Arteta plays a straight bat pre Liverpool

Tricky Micky Arteta had his press conference yesterday and, as expected, didn’t really give away much in terms of team news. I suppose the best news is that we have no fresh injuries from last weekend. That is good enough for me because at this stage of the season the last thing we want to [...]

An Arsenal fan already nervous ahead of next weekend…

Happy Monday party people - how we all doing? Feeling chipper after another win? Or are you like me and already becoming a bit fraught with the idea of going to Anfield to play the manifestation of a bi-polar football team that is Liverpool Football Club? This one coming up on the radar is one [...]
