Morning Gooners and welcome to Wednesday. We'll be on day two of the training sessions for the team and yesterday pictures emerged of day one, which included players missing like Havertz and Gabriel as we'd expect, but not Martin Zubimendi. Apparently he was training indoors as the club try to manage his load management which, [...]

Arsenal must quieten the Anfield crowd in the first 15 to secure the points tonight

Here we are folks. A festive match day is upon us and just as I suspected, all of that excitement ahead of this top of the table clash against Liverpool this evening, has been replaced by a nervousness. And it is a top of the table clash this evening because depending on the result today, [...]

Slightly delayed one from me today. Had the work Christmas party last night but actually feel quite alright - managed to avoid getting too plastered, but did get home late and so decided to have a lie in. But no Mikel Arteta press conference yet, so I guess I'll just have to wait and have [...]

Arteta’s balancing act for Christmas

So it seems we are now playing the waiting game when it comes to our Boxing Day fixture. Two games were called off yesterday, including Wolves’ match against Leeds and that means Wolves will have had a full nine days rest between their 0-0 draw against Chelski on 19th and when they play us. Hardly [...]

The return of the “he’s in behind the defence” goals at Arsenal?

Well now, isn't it nice to start the week run up to Christmas knowing that whatever happens, The Arsenal will be fourth on Christmas Day. We may not stay there, we may fall away and have a shocker of a Christmas period between now and the new year, but as it stands we can smile [...]

Keeping Arsenal players fit for the Christmas countdown

Morning all, how we all doing then, eh? I have a bit of a headache this Monday morning. It's not the kind of selection headache Mikel Arteta seems to have these days (ba-dum, tsch!) but an actual headache caused by sleep depravation on Saturday evening following a rather unhealthy amount of white and red wine [...]

No new Arsenal manager until January

The big question on everybody's lips this morning: Will Freddie be in charge to oversee a glorious victory over Leeds United in the FA Cup? Of course I'm being a little flippant, especially given that we can't beat any team at the moment, let alone one winning every week. So the idea that we'll steamroll [...]

Still stewing on Arsenal?

I don't know if it's because there's no football on this weekend meaning that we've had to endure that unpalatable taste of a poor performance for longer than usual, or whether it's the fact that it's the last working week before Christmas, but it really has dragged for me. It's self-inflicted though. Whenever Arsenal lose [...]
