Mikel’s Ozil stance is bang on, as is the clubs’ Luiz stand

Morning folks and welcome to the end of another week. It's all gone a bit Pete Tong for me this week because, having had to suffer through the debacle up at City - inspired by our clumsy Brazilian centre half - last night I spilt boiling hot vegetable oil on my fingers, so this morning [...]

Luiz loses the plot but Arteta has more problems than that

If you were to tell somebody to write a script that embodied the current Arsenal team, then play out that script in the form of a football match, it would resemble something very similar to what we witnessed last night with the 3-0 defeat at the Etihad. It had all of the component parts: Injuries [...]

what could have been at Arsenal and what unfortunately has been – transfer thoughts

Well now, they've finally lost it at the Premier League and in trying to pump in crowd noise via the red button when the season restarts, we're going to have come to the last desperate grabs by the broadcasters to protect their 'product'. Selfishly I hope it bombs. That's because I'm one of the people [...]

Discount David Luiz not enough for Benfica; Bellerin exit unlikley I think

Morning folks and welcome to the middle of the week. I like to call it..... Wednesday. In two weeks time we'll be staring down the barrel of another "match day" and I'm sure you can't contain your excitement, especially with the way we're bound to have Sky and the other channels absolutely hammer the sh*t [...]

Luiz numbers are scary, but does Kia still want more of the Arsenal cake?

Morning all and welcome to another lockdown Monday. There's one thing I do kind of like about the working from home part of lockdown instead of being on a tube hurtling towards the city, which is that I can wear pretty much what I like, so my suits haven't seen the light of day for [...]

Luiz one of a few sad goodbyes this summer?

With the Premier League voting unanimously that players can finally touch each other yesterday, it looks like we're nearing the continuation of the mind-numbingly tedious situation that is the conclusion of  this pointless season of Premier League football and I'll be honest with you, I just want it all over with so the sooner they [...]

Unconvincing Arsenal somehow top Europa League group

So we're all waking up to a monument ours occasion in the UK this morning: Arsenal topping a group in the Europa League. A hard fought comeback yesterday in the second half from Freddie Ljungberg's charges meant that eventually, by virtue of the fact that Vitoria Guimares earned an unlikely victory in Germany, we actually [...]

Premier League campaign over with another draw

There's quite a big caveat in the analysis of yesterday's draw away to Norwich. That caveat is that Freddie Ljungberg has had barely a few hours inputting his ideas into this set of players. So perhaps yesterday's performance still bore the hallmarks of Emery's Arsenal. The caveat that Freddie has had such little time is [...]

A back three’s a brewing away to Leicester

It's match day today and the tam will most likely - unless they did last night - be on their way to face an in-form Leicester City side that I don't think many people have us down for victory for the evening. I can totally understand that and to be honest with you I am [...]

Luiz sentiment is appreciated, but the reality is very different for Arsenal’s title bid

A Saturday welcome I bid you my friends. Sadly it's one without The Arsenal but I guess it is what it is and we have to contend ourselves with a weekend of supporting every other team that our rivals play. So it's Newcastle and Watford that we'll be hoping to do something special today. And [...]
