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 [...]
Yesterday's City defeat has cast today's game in a slightly different light I think. I still believe that if Arsenal lose, we're probably out of the title race, but a draw puts us one point closer to them and although Liverpool will be nine points clear of us, that isn't unsurmountable. Liverpool won against Villa [...]
Mikel Arteta had his say ahead of tomorrow's tough encounter with Chelsea yesterday and, as usual, he was relatively tight-lipped on who was available. He confirmed that Declan Rice hadn't trained as of yesterday and I guess we all have to hope that his admission that he 'has to be vague' is just his way [...]
I'm reluctant to kick off today's musings with a commentary that starts to make it's way down the winding conspiracy theory road, but given I've seen a bit of chatter online about Michael Oliver's decision to disallow a goal against City Group-owned Girona FC on Tuesday, then it has emerged he's refereeing us again on [...]
As we approach the first of four away games in a row, Arteta will have his thinking cap on today on who and how to deploy his resources for the next two weeks because, without sounding overly dramatic, I think this next couple of week's will shape our season. Tomorrow night maybe less so, although [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing, eh? I'm on me travels again today, this time heading up to Northumberland to see The Management's family for the weekend, which is good really because it coincides with this interminable international break, so I can be fully 'present' and not distracted for a solid four hours for the [...]
With all of the furore with the Brihgton game, with it happening so soon after the transfer window shut last Friday, I realised I'd barley even had time to properly think a out the fact that Arsenal had signed Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on what we all know is a super deal for the club. [...]
Happy Saturday folks - how we all doing? I'm going to start with something that I usually try to avoid - talking about The Scum - but it's only because there's little else going on and some of their fans will be getting a bit excited that they're spending £654million on Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. [...]
L:et's start of this morning with a little chuckle at this story that've seen this morning, suggesting that Barcelona are plotting an 'ambitious' bid for William Saliba. I'm sure Barca love the look of Big Bill - who wouldn't given he's just come off of another season in which he's proven himself to be one [...]
