Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]
Morning folks - happy match day. Let's hope it is one in which The Arsenal are blessed with three points. We were all certainly blessed with mostly good news yesterday, as it was all but confirmed that Bukayo Saka has signed his new bumper contract. I was asked to give some comments on that for [...]
Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]
I didn't watch the Villa-United game yesterday, but I suspected Villa might win it and when you look at that winning run, you have to say 'fair f*cks' to those players and Unai. Morgan Rogers is in the form of his life for Villa and that is propelling them forward as we speak. Then, on [...]
That was objectively bad yesterday. No 'ifs', not 'buts' - Arsenal just sucked a bit against a team who have made scoring goals and keeping them out look like Mission Impossible this season. I spoke about Wolves' form, about the problems they have, about the fact that they an injury to a key player and how [...]
That was one of those ‘on paper’ routine nights, wasn’t it? Arsenal had a job to do. They needed to avoid a banana skin. They needed to de-risk the whole evening. They needed to make this a perfunctory three points. Brentford are not a team to be trifled with. Yes, they have a pretty shoddy [...]
So the Arsenal boys did the business last night for England. Not that I was watching. Now that England are qualified these matches become nothing more than glorified friendlies and all that leaves me thinking is: Why the HELL is Saka playing the full 90? Rice was taken off on 65 minutes, so that's good, [...]
When you concede a goal in stoppage time, you always have to say you're disappointed with the result, but perhaps in the fullness of time this 2-2 draw we had at Sunderland yesterday won't be seen as the dropped points it feels like this morning. I was impressed with Sunderland as a side. They are [...]
It's easy to look towards the two headlines of Merino and the record-breaking back five from last night's ultimately comfortable 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, but I have to say that to a man, that Arsenal team showed what a confidence-laden side looks like from minute one yesterday. It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday and [...]
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 [...]
