Here we are, guys and gals. Match day 30 and with the managers having both said their piece ahead of this game, all that's left to do is have the football do the talking tonight. As I said yesterday in a little review and look at Brighton, this is going to be really tough. With [...]
With around a day-and-a-half until our next game tomorrow night away to Brighton, there's no such opportunity as we had last week with the North London Derby, where we had a week off to bask and enjoy all the #content as the victors. Instead, just 24 hours after I was penning some post-match thoughts on [...]
Football, eh? Yesterday the requirements were: Play well Win Arsenal did both of those and yet I don't think you'll find an Arsenal fan alive today who will tell you that felt easy. It very much didn't. The first worry came with the absence of both Calafiori and Timber, as this season and the constant [...]
It’s Brighton at home today in what is sure to be a really tricky encounter for Mikel Arteta’s men. For a number of years now, Brighton have been one of those clubs that you say things like “they play decent football” or “they’re a well-run club,” and over the years at The Emirates, they’ve given [...]
On paper it looks like a perfunctory 2-0 win for Arsenal and given that we've been getting into the habit of those kinds of wins, you'd be excused for not thinking that if you didn't watch the 2-0 home win against Brighton in the League Cup. But the reality of the performance yesterday was that [...]
So, we have ourselves a League Cup tonight and following Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, we've got a bit of speculation over who he's going to start that is the key topic for today, for sure. Arteta gave an update following on from Sunday's win over Palace and with a number of players coming off [...]
Is it me, or does it feel like we’ve played tough game after tough game this season? I get it - “you have to play everyone twice” as well as “everyone plays each other twice”, but still, it’s really felt like this is week after week in which we’ve had some super tough fixtures. And [...]
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 [...]
What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]
Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]
