I see that the Scousers are all getting a bit heated of Trent leaving for Real in the summer. As Arsenal fans, we of all people know the pains of contracts being run down - or the perception of it - so rather than banter them off I'm offering a little sympathy this morning I [...]

All eyes on Saka

I didn't really touch too much on comments in the wake of the United game about Bukayo Saka, made by Arteta, when asked about him. But I suspect just to re-iterate the situation he'll definitely be asked about the forward today in his press conference. Mikel's comments on Sunday were that his progress was good [...]

A little bit of Hopium with an early return Saka, Martinelli and White?

Happy Monday folks, hope we're all doing ok? Or are you as bemused as I was yesterday. No, I'm not talking about Liverpool being knocked out of the FA Cup to Plymouth, but rather the images that have emerged from Dubai which seem to suggest that Martinelli is in part taking some part of training [...]

Martinelli’s telegraphed injury

Morning folks and welcome to an Arsenal-less Saturday. But of course Arsenal being Arsenal and this season being what it is (cursed), of course the dust had barely settled before we learned of another injury setback. If we all thought that seeing Martinelli get on the plane in the Dubai warm weather training trip was [...]

Solving the Saka problem

Happy Christmas Eve y’all. Hope you’re enjoying the Christmas period and, like me, are already moving yourself in to Gorge Mode like I am. My normal approach the day after Mike Arteta has had his press conference is to pour over every word of his ahead of the game on 27th December, but given that [...]

Arsenal’s efficiency against Palace is welcome indeed

Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]

Momentum maintained with Monaco mauling

That, eventually, was a jolly nice evening in the end. Don’t get me wrong, we had some perceived wobbles at times and particularly in the first half of yesterday’s ‘scoreline’ hammering of Monaco, we looked like that might be one of those “we’re going to regret missing our chances aren’t we?” kind of games. But [...]

Arsenal blitz through Sporting to set a marker in Europe

Well now, wasn't that a lot more fun last night than we expected, eh? I don't think there are any Arsenal fans that thought that Mikel Arteta and his charges were going to head over to Portugal, absolutely blitz an unbeaten team with a 100% domestic win record this season, with one of the clubs [...]

Arteta’s archetypal ‘perfect day at the office’ as Arsenal smash Forest

I've woken up this morning to an absolute gale swirling around outside my house, but it was Arsenal who were doing the blowing away yesterday, showing their true colours to absolutely batter Nottingham Forest yesterday afternoon. Pre match talk was of how impressive Forest have been this season; they know their strengths and they play [...]
