Where are the risk takers at Arsenal?

I'm still replaying that defeat from Sunday night in my head. The predictability of it is driving me insane. Dominate possession, not taking first half chances, VAR ruling out a perfectly good goal and then sucker-punched by Jamie Vardy as the game reached it's closing quarter of the match. It's maddening when history repeats itself [...]

Frustration at Arsenal playing within themselves against Man City

Ahh man, do I feel frustrated this morning, after that result yesterday. Going up to Man City and being in the game, losing by the odd goal, is nothing to be ashamed of. But I can't help but think there was a real element of us not rolling the dice at times yesterday against last [...]

Saka and Pepe spring to life to down the Blades

After seeing what unfolded yesterday in most of the other games, there's something very satisfying about a relatively 'normal' victory over a disciplined Sheffield United side, like we got at home yesterday lunchtime. United were a travesty and Liverpool just forgot who they were, whereas Leicester also had an off day against West Ham so [...]

Arsenal’s centre back crisis, even though we have a million of them!

Morning folks. Happy pre Premier League Thursday kick off to you. Getting excited yet? I think I am. It's always a bit weird knowing that with the world we're living in where we're seeing this rise in COVID cases and have just been told that sporting events could go behind closed doors again, yet in [...]

Gabriel in and has a support network of Brazilians with him

So we have ourselves another signing of the summer and, whilst it was the world’s worst kept secret that Gabriel Magalhaes was an Arsenal player, seeing him unveiled by fellow Brazilians David Luiz and Willian was still a fantastic way to bring the young defender in officially. There are plenty of glossy videos that announce [...]

Flexible formations for Arsenal ahead of ‘set systems’

Morning folks and welcome to another midweek of this weird pre-season we find ourselves in. What's weird about it is that even though the FA Cup is still relatively fresh in the minds of most of us (despite Arsenal's attempts to pour cold water on it through signings, redundancies, sackings at the top, etc), we [...]

Arsenal’s defenisve stockpiling means we need other teams to move first

It's all feeling a bit quiet this morning. Well, I say quiet, but that is in the context of The Arsenal and what's happened in the last year or so. If it's not quick-fire football matches, or managers being given the boot, or changes in back room exec level, or contracts, or signings, or COVID-19, [...]

Thank goodness that Premier League season is over

The best part about yesterday's 3-2 victory over Watford was when Mike Dean put his whistle to his lips and called time on this latest Premier League season. I have been on this earth for 37-and-a-half years and as far as I can remember this has been one of the worst that I've had to [...]
