Tricky Micky Arteta had his press conference yesterday and, as expected, didn’t really give away much in terms of team news. I suppose the best news is that we have no fresh injuries from last weekend. That is good enough for me because at this stage of the season the last thing we want to [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Wednesday. Having to go old school on the blog today, because the desktop version of the site seems to have gone down, so until that is up and running, I’m penning some thoughts from the iPhone, so please excuse the inevitable typos and predictive text change words in to other [...]

Happy Tuesday people. Have you fully recovered from the weekend's emotional high? Or are you still drinking in all levels of content? I think mine is just about starting to wear off, but mainly because we're just over 48 hours until we are on to our next game away to Sporting Lisbon, a match which [...]

Football is a heck of a lot of fun sometimes...in the end. Riddle me this: is there anything in the world more satisfying than a last minute winner? If there is then I haven't experienced it yet, because what we were treated to under the lights last night was an exhilaration that just can't be [...]

First and foremost - happy new year to you all. This is a slightly delayed match review post, on account of the fact that yesterday I wanted to do nothing more than lie on the sofa and slowly vegetate. But having watched the game on New Year’s Eve and seen all of the results so [...]

Morning you wonderful humans, you, and a Merry Christmas one and all! Yesterday I had a lovely afternoon with my family around my brothers house. My nephew greeted me at the front door with a big smile on his face, wearing the West Ham third kit, followed up by a few volleys of "we're gonna [...]

Morning folks, how we all doing? Looking forward to the weekend and a wee taste of The Arsenal ahead of the season starting back up on Boxing Day? I know I am. I might even tune in to the live feeds of the press conference I'm sure Arteta will give today at some stage. There [...]

Morning folks. Holy moly, we actually have A REAL LIFE ARSENAL MATCH TO TALK ABOUT! Well, sure, it was a friendly. But it was an Arsenal match and we did get to see some of the first teamers strut their stuff out in Dubai. Sadly I was working and then had a family event straight after work, [...]

As I went for my early morning run this morning, I listened to the always excellent ArsenalVision podcast and the guys talking about the Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah situation, which got my grey matter moving, so I thought I'd  wade in with some thoughts on today's blog, if you'll indulge me? What am I [...]

Jesus’ prolonged absence – what do Arsenal do now?

Just when I was starting to really enjoy this World Cup and international football, a timely reminder was dealt to me this morning as I scrolled through my Twitter timeline and read the news about Gabriel Jesus' injury: Three months out instead of three weeks, as he'll probably need surgery. I've said it before and [...]
