Saka’s rest and Arsenal’s readiness for Crystal Palace

By |2022-03-25T08:08:34+00:00March 25th, 2022|Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Internationals, premier league|0 Comments

I can't say I'm overly fussed about the international matches that are going on this weekend. I mean, I'm having a look at results every once in a while and of course I keep the news on to see things like Italy hilariously getting knocked out to North Macedonia to miss their second World Cup [...]

Arteta’s admission on transfer movement is good news this January

Before I start talking about the press conference and some of the more interesting parts of it for me yesterday, I thought I'd just mention Arsenal's campaign against knife crime that was released yesterday, with a video and also confirmation that Arsenal will wear an all white kit for the game against Nottingham Forest in [...]

The integrity of the League Cup and EFL is now in the spotlight – Arsenal v Liverpool

By |2022-01-05T08:08:25+00:00January 5th, 2022|Arsenal FC, League Cup, Rant|8 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to Wednesday. I started back up with my work yesterday and although I enjoy my job, there's nothing worse than that first day back and remembering you can't just eat, drink and be merry all the time like over the Christmas period. But the upside of this first week back for [...]

COVID, injuries and refs: a little more equality and transparency needed

By |2021-12-28T09:28:15+00:00December 28th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

There's nothing more irritating to a football  fan than a perceived lack of transparency and equity in the game. As Arsenal fans we have felt it with situations like the Godfrey stamp on Tomiyasu, or the McArther boot of Saka in the Palace game at The Emirates. I have spoken of that feeling of a [...]

Arsenal doing the job; confidence soaring against Norwich

Some days writing about The Arsenal feels like a proper chore. I've been - broadly speaking - writing about Arsenal for 13 years and so it has become habitual, which means I really do have to drag my carcass to the laptop and at this time of the year with over-indulgence a daily occurrence, it [...]

Arsenal must be more direct to beat the Leeds high press

By |2021-12-18T09:16:52+00:00December 18th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

This feels a little weird this morning because I'm writing a pre match preview of the game later on today between Leeds and The Arsenal, without really being 100% confident as to whether it will actually be going ahead, what with all of the COVID-19 problems causing matches left, right and centre to be cancelled [...]

The Premier League have set a COVID precedent with Arsenal v Brentford. They must be consistent.

By |2021-12-09T07:55:11+00:00December 9th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

I don't like talking about them, but upon hearing the news that Tottenham are on the verge of having their games against Rennes and Brighton potentially postponed due to the outbreak of COVID cases that is in their camp, I can't help but feel incredibly frustrated and aggrieved. It feels like there is one rule for [...]

Does the COVID excuse wash for Arteta?

Martin Odegaard officially confirmed yesterday, Aaron Ramsdale also confirmed and with that, they instantly get my full backing and hope that we succeed with them in the short, medium and long term. We can all have questions over the signings but now they are here you have to be happy that they are and I [...]

Feeling for the American Gooners, but how does this impact Arsenal’s prep?

Stepping in to a nice, ice cold shower, with the weather in blighty like it is right now, is some kind of heaven. Don't get me wrong though, I'm loving the warm weather, because we get so little of it in this country. So you won't get me moaning that it is too hot. Nosiree. [...]

Does Arteta’s free pass run out in the summer?

Morning folks and welcome to this Tuesday ahead of another dreaded international break, colloquially known by so many of us Gooners as the dreaded 'interlull'. And after the madness of the football last weekend with the draw away to West Ham, it feels like quite the come down to have to endure a solid 11 [...]
