The challenges and logistics of yet more potential postponements

By |2022-09-12T08:34:37+01:00September 12th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Europa League, premier league|0 Comments

With no Arsenal going on this weekend, the news from a football front is understandably light, unfortunately. I've made my point and stated my case with regards to the weekend's fixtures and I haven't seen anything to suggest to me that the decision to postpone the games was the right one, but there we are, [...]

The early season start explains the need for early transfer moves

Right, so, with internationals now thankfully and firmly behind us all, it seems like the wheels are turning and the cogs have been greased for the transfer engine to start purring. You only have to listen to the narrative from some of the decent journos out there to see that stuff is happening in the [...]

Arsenal’s young stars do the business in spite of refereeing madness

In the build up to the game in the pub beforehand, I was with Andrew, Neil and Jason and I spoke to the guys about how much I wanted the revenge for the first game of the season. Brentford caught us out with a physical display, on opening day, with players missing and then afterwards [...]

A very different Arsenal to line up against Brentford this time?

It's match day people! And it is the reverse of the opening game of the season, in which we succumbed to an excitable and motivated Brentford side who took advantage of our mixture of injuries and COVID situation in the Arsenal camp, to overcome us 2-0 in their new stadium. I drove past their stadium [...]

Building something at Arsenal, building leaders

Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday. We'll hopefully get a press conference this morning, unless London Colney has blown away with all the high winds we're seeing in the UK right now. There's a that has been brewing and it isn't Mikel's latest falling out that is causing the ruckus, but instead Mother Nature that [...]

Keep yer statistical models, because it’s that confidence of momentum that I want

Thursday has come around and we are knocking down the door of the weekend once again. Perhaps it's because my work has been so busy, but these weeks appear to be flying by, which is good considering the lack of football we've had to endure. I think I read somewhere that there won't be a [...]

Tomiyasu’s return to the team is big for Arsenal. Here’s why…

Well, we all survived the over-commercialised nonsense that is Valentine's Day, so we can get on with our lives and focus on the really important things, like how Arsenal are preparing ahead of facing off against Brentford next weekend. The good news is that it looks like Tomiyasu is back in training and that is [...]

Arsenal need to build out some ‘wiggle room’

By |2022-02-14T07:38:10+00:00February 14th, 2022|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, premier league|0 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to another week. But what a weekend from an Arsenal point of view, eh? For the last two months or so we've seen team after team have games in hand over us, been calculating the permutations of those teams around us winning their games in hand, looking at the table and [...]

Has Arteta’s fan credit slipped away?

By |2021-08-16T07:51:13+01:00August 16th, 2021|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|3 Comments

Well in terms of football, that weekend was about as atrocious an depressing as any Arsenal fan could have imagined, wasn't it? I mean, we didn't even get the peace and excitement of a Friday before the match before it was all ruined, after a poor performance from those Arsenal players and the same familiar [...]
