So we had ourselves a press conference from the boss yesterday and that included a raft of questions from the assembled press on the Zoom call. He was asked about team news and the good news appears that we haven't picked up any knocks from Thursday night, so that's good. With games coming thick and [...]

Matchday number three in the Europa League brings about it a team named after the stuff growing in Tottenham's trophy cabinet. Yep, Molde are coming to town, which means we've got an opportunity to see how our team stacks up against the current reigning Norwegian Champions who currently sit second in the Eliteserien league. And [...]

Changing Arsenal’s front three and letting go of the reins a little

Morning y'all and happy Tuesday unto thee. I'm playing Lockdown2 countdown at the moment by visiting my local watering holes in the evening and sampling the amber nectar they have on display. It's not that I particularly need to be having a beer every night, but when that smooth taste of a draught of beer is [...]

Martinez gone, but that’s just a small slice of the income we need

So it appears the Emi Martinez situation has come to a conclusion last night with pretty much every news outlet now reporting that the deal has been done and he's joined Aston Villa for around £20million. I say ' around' because whilst most are reporting it at £20million, Sky Sports were talking it up as [...]

How are we going to magic up some money at Arsenal?

Morning all, hope you’re all fine and dandy and feeling grand, on this Tuesday before the start of the new season? For me it’s a weird one because I’m travelling in on the tube for the first time in six months and I’m already surrounded by a bunch of ‘orrible school kids, one of which [...]

Villa friendly: sign of next week’s team or shop window for Arsenal players?

By |2020-09-06T10:44:37+01:00September 6th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, friendly, gooners, Gunners, midfield, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

So whilst some of the players have been away on international duty this weekend, the club continued its preparations for the upcoming season with a friendly against Aston Villa, which would have been far more palatable to watch than having to sit through the England game. But it wasn’t televised so we had to make [...]

Are we not allowed nice things as Arsenal fans?

Well if that wasn't the crappy Yin to last weekend's fantastic Yang... Are we not allowed to have nice things? Are we not allowed to bask in the glory of a really resolute and fantastic performance? Because it feels like it with this Arsenal side. As brilliant as they were against Man City, yesterday they were as [...]

Rotation a must, but a few goals and a win is also essential against Villa

By |2020-07-21T08:01:54+01:00July 21st, 2020|Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Wolves' win yesterday against a pathetic and hapless Crystal Palace - already on the beach (and how the hell did they pick up two draws against us? Oh yeah, VAR...) and not fussed either way - means that the chances of Arsenal qualifying for Europe via the league are reliant on so many permutations going [...]

Arteta’s rotation dilemma ahead of Villa tomorrow

Morning folks and welcome to the penultimate week of this season, finally drawing to a close with a trip to Villa Park, followed by Watford at home next Sunday. And to add to that we now know our fate in terms of the FA Cup Final in just under two week's time, as Chelski smashed [...]

Aubameyang to the rescue as selection questions arise for Emery

Last night I had a funky old dream. I dreamt that I was having dinner with Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. He was in fine form having just bagged the winning goal against Aston Villa during the day, but annoyingly I wasn't alone to just chat foot all with him. A load of work colleagues were there and [...]
