Even though the match ended over 12 hours ago and I have had time to digest the result and going's on in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, I'm still not sure how I feel about it, you know. At the beginning of the day if you'd have offered me a draw I'd have taken [...]
With City inevitably picking up their three points against Leeds at home yesterday, Arsenal are reminded just how slender these advantages can be with what lies ahead of us today: An in-form Chelsea team with an opportunity to throw their hats into the ring as title contenders by beating us on their own patch. So [...]
So the good news from the press conference yesterday appears to be that despite coming off injured in midweek against Bayern, Leo appears to be fit, as confirmed by Mikel when doing his pre-Chelsea chat to the assembled media. That's a relief. Considering just how impressive he's been for us this season, losing him at [...]
It's Friday, it's a couple of days before we go to Chelsea and it's a trip into the Chelsea fans forums for me to see how they are feeling. It's certainly a mixed bag, with as much of them saying they can't see themselves losing, as well as the reverse. I think this season has [...]
If you believe everything you read on line, you'd be forgiven for getting a little antsy that the supposed new interest in Eze from Chelsea could scupper any potential deal that The Arsenal do. Personally, I'm not minded to put too much credence in to it at this stage, because Eze would be batshit mental [...]
Had a fair bit of work stuff and other bits going on yesterday, so didn't find the time to compose some thoughts in the wake of the rapidly evolving Madueke story, so shall we have a chat today about it? Firstly, I think it's difficult for me to row back from my original thoughts and [...]
Yesterday was a day at home doing lots of jobs and chores, so unusually for me, I got plenty of time to be scrolling through my social media feeds for the latest Arsenal-related transfer news. I picked a bad day to do it. That's because all the talk yesterday was on Arsenal reaching personal terms [...]
Now I'm not going to claim a victory after yesterday insisting that 'ACTION' needed to happen from yesterday, but less than 12 hours after I'd written my thinkings yesterday on the need for new signings, a shiny new footballer rocked up at The Emirates. Maybe I need to use this power again soon? Of course [...]
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 [...]
Before the game yesterday I would have taken the point. Sod the context of Liverpool being nine clear of us and screw the fact that you don't get many chances to overtake City and make ground on them, this was an away game against a tough opponent who had been in decent form. Yet after [...]
