Arsenal won’t Mbappe, will they?

There are some very wishful thinkers in the Arsenal fanbase, that's for sure, because if anybody thinks that we're truly going even get a sniff - let alone drop a cursory star - at Kylian Mbappe this summer after the news emerged that he will not activate his additional year clause and that PSG are [...]

Arsenal hold serve against woeful Chelsea

Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]

Start fast and get the first goal against Chelsea, Arsenal

Morning folks. It's another match day and after the last few that we've had, the old fears and nervous butterflies have crept their way back in to my stomach. About a month ago those things were more excitement than fears, because we were on a great run of form, playing good football, looking every bit [...]

What does Arteta do tactically: Stick or twist?

Bit of a weird one for a Saturday blog today, because although it is a Premier League weekend, Arsenal don't play until Tuesday, which means we'll be watching all of the other Premier League games unfolding in front of us, without any real proper football at all. From a personal point of view I'd rather [...]

Making a case for the increasingly likely start of Rob Holding

I didn't bother to watch the Chelsea versus Liverpool game. I already knew how the script would play out; Liverpool looking ropey, Chelsea not able to finish their dinner, a game in which Football365 has already labelled 'El Sh*tico' would be a waste of an evening. Of course I still wanted to know how the game [...]

Squad depth and mentality at Arsenal

Morning folks, how we all doing? Having a good one? I'm struggling to shift a bloody annoying sore throat and cough at the moment, which isn't ideal, but I guess it's the time of year n'that... It's also the time of the season where the dust has settled on the transfer window, the second half [...]

Jorginho adding depth; now time to focus on that league

Morning folks and welcome to the day after transfer deadline day. We got through it. Phew. Let's start with the main bit of news that only emerged on Monday and was done by Tuesday. Jorginho joins The Arsenal for something around £12million. I've been saying on social media that I don't completely hate this deal [...]

How to make Jorginho to Arsenal make sense

So here we are folks. This has to be one of the WORST days of the footballing calendar: January Transfer Deadline Day. Honestly, it is like how the big retailers love Valentines Day because it fills the void between Christmas and Easter and means that they get to eek out a little more from the [...]

Mudryk deal feels a little Vlahovichy and Raphinhary…

Morning Gooners, how are we all doing? I went for a super early run this morning - before 6am - on account of trying to adjust my body clock before I head off to the Indian Ocean for a week to celebrate the Management's impending 'Big Four Zero'. Early morning runs are always good because [...]

Job done for The Arsenal – just…

Football can’t always be free flowing, exhilarating, dominant with goals galore. Football is often a low scoring sport and even some of the best Arsenal teams I’ve ever witnessed have had some pretty drab affairs. So having sat through an unimpressive 1-0 win over a less than average FC Zurich side yesterday in the passenger [...]
