Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]

West Ham preview: Arsenal need to avoid the counter

By |2022-12-25T11:28:27+00:00December 26th, 2022|Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Happy Boxing Day people. But more importantly: MERRY MATCH DAY! It's finally upon us. We are finally rid of  international football and tonight we return to action at home to a West Ham side sitting  in 16th in the table and whose form  was a little ropey before they went in to the World Cup [...]

Morning folks, how are we all doing today then, eh? Feeling chipper ahead of the weekend action against Bournemouth? Little 'Scotty' Parker seemed to be in good spirits, as he had his press conference yesterday and said some lovely things about Mikel Arteta and his team for this season. He talked about how he thinks [...]

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 [...]

Arsenal must win the duels against a counter-attacking Villa

Happy matchday folks. Hope you and yours are well. It's two in a week for us; feels almost like the old days of the Europa League and Champions League, eh? Those feelings of playing every few days may have gone, but at least we've had a fair few like that with the League Cup and [...]

Villareal and Emery will look to hit Arsenal on the counter

Well folks, this feels like it could be pretty much it tonight, what it all boils down to and should the worst happen this evening and we sh*t the bed against Unai Emery's Villareal then the season is essentially finished in all but name. It feels like last chance saloon for Mikel and his charges [...]

West Ham preview: take your chances when they come, Arsenal!

It's match day today and it's one that always has significance in my family, because it is where rivalries are split, given a large chunk of my family are West Ham fans. It's a little like the North London Derby because i'm not really a fan of it, but it doesn't have the same level [...]

Arsenal have bench options, but they must contain Grealish and the counter

It's match day people! How we feeling? Excited? Nervous? Terrified? I must admit to you that I have a nervous excitement about today. The Wolves game may have repeated on me like a bit of dodgy cucumber, but that first half felt good, like it could be the start of something. New beginnings and all [...]

Arteta needs to inject pace into Arsenal attack against Leeds

I believe I have some very real fears and trepidation about today’s game at Elland Road. The preparation the Arsenal players have had in the build up to this hasn’t been ideal, with injuries, COVID and the form of some of our players, plus I have some bad memories of defeats going up there I [...]

Sheffield United preview – this game is won and lost out wide

By |2020-10-04T09:41:30+01:00October 4th, 2020|Arsenal, Arsenal Transfers, Attack, Formation, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Morning folks. It's matchday! A welcome distraction from the transfer window and it's impending closure, eh? That's certainly how I think some people see it. They see the ACTUAL football as the side note and get too wound up in the count down to the closure of the window to the extent that some probably [...]
