Elneny of Hydra

I love the idea that when Mohammed Elneny conducted his interview on the official site yesterday, after being awarded the Arsenal Player of the Month award, he had a maniacal glint in his eyes as he said to the camera "this is only the beginning". The thought of somebody with somewhat comical hair styling could secretly [...]

League title hopes fading after derby draw, but at least pride has been restored

When Harry Kane thundered that second Spurs goal in after Mertesacker had dallied in the corner, I had pretty much given up all hope of us getting anything from the North London Derby (NLD), let alone worrying about t he league title. We have all seen this Arsenal team fail to show the required mettle [...]

Some positive Arsenal performances against Burnley

After a couple of draws and a disappointing Sunday afternoon against Chelski, it was good to see Arsenal get back on the victory trail by overcoming a stubborn Burnley side yesterday afternoon, as well as get a decent look at some new and returning faces. As expected, Arsene made some changes to the squad and [...]

The delicious news of Coquelin, Rosicky and yes, even Welbeck

Yesterday Arsène delivered his injury news update via the official site and, quite deliciously, it included confirmation that everyone bar Santi and Jack are back in training. So that's Rosicky, Welbeck and ahead of schedule our midfield destroyed Francis Coquelin. I can't tell you how pleased I am. Well, I can, via this blog, but [...]

Mesut at 100, Arsenal in the final third and Coquelin back in the team

By |2017-05-19T20:11:36+01:00January 26th, 2016|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, injuries, midfield, premier league|2 Comments

As Mesut Özil hits the 100 appearance mark for The Arsenal, what better way to celebrate it by the media, than talking up a story about a buyback clause that Real Madrid insisted upon?  Does such a clause exist? I'd be surprised. Arsenal don't tend to do those types of clauses unless they are the [...]

Elneny the typhoon rolls in to town, but it’s the Ramsey/Coquelin/Cazorla conundrum that puzzles

I know we all rolled our eyes and manifested our delight of a signing by exhaling a big 'about time' when Mohamed Elneny was confirmed yesterday, but having listened to Arsène's video about the player too on the official site, I do wonder if he was the same as us. He readily accepted beginning the [...]

Joel’s coming of age, but he won’t be this season’s Coquelin

So no real upsets from yesterday's round of matches, saving plucky Spuds earning themselves a money-spinning and lucrative draw against title chasers Leicester City, or Oxford beating a woefully out-of-form Swansea.  Actually, the fact that the Tiny Totts have another fixture to cram in to their schedule is probably a good thing from our perspective, [...]

Arsenal should have squirrelled away more nuts by now

If, as expected, Arsène confirms that Cazorla will be out for potentially three months or at least until up to March, then that would pretty much cap off what has been a pretty savage seven days for us. Sunday's point against Norwich started the bitter taste in my mouth, because two wins against West Brom [...]
