Gabriel seems fine (phew), but it lays out the defensive tightrope we could be walking

We're nearly there folks...closing down on exiting this interminable international break and we can get our focus back to Everton on Sunday, which will be a tough trip as it always is for us, having not won there in what feels like a bazillion years. Hopefully we'll also have the benefit of having Gabriel back [...]

Can Edu find homes for all of our strays?

Morning all, hope we're all good? Feeling chipper? I had a lovely ol' fine dining experience in London last night, got home at 2.30am, yet feel surprisingly chipper I have to say. It's not because Arsenal have signed anybody though; they certainly haven't sold anyone. Which is interesting because we all thought - well, anyone [...]

Saka the key man against Villa today

Am super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. Whereas I accepted the reality and realism of the defeat to Liverpool both prior and post the game itself, this one feels like there's much more pressure on the team, oddly enough. It feels like we need to get something from this game and [...]

How weary will those young Arsenal legs be?

Morning Gooners. How you all doing? Any sore heads out there after a night of celebrating St Patrick's Day? I've got a mini one, having had a few beers and then half a bottle of Malbec with a steak last night, but nothing that a little bit of milk thistle and a Berocca won't cure. [...]

Fearing the Leicester counter “smash and grab”

By |2022-03-13T09:48:34+00:00March 13th, 2022|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league|2 Comments

I'm super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. I think the reason why is because I fear what Leicester can do to us on the counter attack. They feel to me like a team absolutely geared up to smash and grab us and whilst their defence is nowhere near as resolute as [...]

Tactical and player mistakes knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup against Forest

For the second time in four years Arsenal travelled to the City Ground to play Championship Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup and for the second time in four years Arsenal's FA Cup run was halted as quickly as it began in ignominious fashion as we were knocked out to a [...]

Pepe and Nketiah to get a shot against Norwich?

It’s match day and a Boxing Day one in which Arsenal face a struggling Norwich side who currently sit bottom of the league having picked up two wins and four draws all season. They have found it struggling even since Dean Smith took over and even have a fair few injury and COVID problems today, [...]

Arsenal need to sort out their first team quota pronto

I do have to chuckle at Man United fans you know. I start off today's Arsenal musings with a smile in relation to the Manc's, because there are a fair few of them crowing that they are buying Varane for £34million plus some add ons, as well as Sancho for £73million, then comparing that to [...]

Arteta gets it all wrong again against Slavia Prague

Well folks, the good news is that we aren't out of the Europa League yet, that there is still another leg to go and an opportunity for Arsenal to progress to the semi final of the competition. In itself a 1-1 draw in a two-legged tie isn't the worst thing in the world; you still [...]
