Brighton away: Not vintage, but confidence restoring for The Arsenal

You know the phrase "the ends justify the means"? Well, having seen Arsenal look a little laboured yesterday, but ultimately pick up three points away to Brighton yesterday in the Premier League, I feel like that phrase aptly describes our overall performance yesterday evening on the south coast. That's because Arsenal's performance was hardly the [...]

Arsenal must break the Brighton hoodoo

Welcome to another match day folks and this, I have to say, has always been a frustrating one for me. Brighton and Hove Albion entertain us at 6pm on their turf and it’s been quite an unhappy hunting ground for us recently. Last season they shafted us in the last minute with a sucker punch [...]

Arsenal’s youthful energy secures the points at home to Chelsea

Holy moly I’d forgotten just how good winning feels like. having spent the last three months watching Arsenal lurch from one defeat to the next, it felt like this barren run of dreadful performances was going to go on forever, but last night we were treated to a totally different Arsenal performance to the ones [...]

Arsenal’s balance and a high press might beat Wolves

Moring folks and welcome to Saturday. How you doing? Y'alreet? I'm fine, thanks for asking, although I did stay up too late watching The Good, The Bad and The Ugly last night and my body clock is such that it doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I'm always up around 7am. That's not [...]

A left back problem developing for Arteta for this next week

Another one bites the dust. Yep, there's another Arsenal player who will be missing from the ability to be selected this weekend when we play Leeds on Sunday and that player is Sead Kolasinac, who tested positive for COVID-19 after travelling and playing for Bosnia in this latest round of pointless and utterly stupid international [...]

A decision needs to be made on Maitland-Niles

Happy Friday y'all. Hope you're doing well. I have to level with you. Even these days, with some form of Arsenal involvement in the England games, I'm not going to rouse myself to actually watching any of a game between England and Ireland that is a friendly with absolutely no real meaning to it. The [...]

Arsenal need to find an answer to Villa’s low block and counter

And here we are at another match day folks. It’s a late kick off, a disgusting ‘pay-per-view’ kick off, with a return of a former player we all know and love in the shape of Emi Martinez, as we line up against Aston Villa at The Emirates tonight. We all know Emi is having the [...]

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 [...]

Can Arsenal use Partey and pace to spring the trap against Man United?

Morning all and welcome to match day. This is a match day that, let's be honest, has rarely been a fun one for us and given both teams' respective form I'm not exactly overly confident of us getting three points today. There have been times where I've thought "this year, with that United team and [...]

Where are the risk takers at Arsenal?

I'm still replaying that defeat from Sunday night in my head. The predictability of it is driving me insane. Dominate possession, not taking first half chances, VAR ruling out a perfectly good goal and then sucker-punched by Jamie Vardy as the game reached it's closing quarter of the match. It's maddening when history repeats itself [...]
