Was travelling back from South Africa to Blighty yesterday, so didn't get to pen any thoughts in the wake of that FA Cup exit to a United side who - like a few before them this season - basically scored with the one chance they really fashioned. And with the games coming thick and fast, [...]

Arsenal’s efficiency against Palace is welcome indeed

Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]

Some teams get all the luck…

Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]

Balance restored in second half – and we have a spark from Gabriel Jesus

I said it as I was on my way home last night from The Emirates, but that was your archetypal 'tale of two halves' from The Arsenal last night, from attacking sense, I mean. Arteta suggested he would do a bit of rotation and I had a feeling that Tierney would make his way back [...]

Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are at an Arsenal crossroads

In a clear act of mercy for our current injury plight, the footballing gods (and Spain manager Luis De La Fuente) saw fit to rest both Raya and Merino last night, as Spain beat Switzerland in what sounds like quite a compelling match. I wouldn't know; international football and all that... Tonight the gauntlet is [...]

Saka potential woe serves as another Arsenal blow

Oh god how I hate these interminable international breaks. It feels like, for this season in particular, they were sent to try us Arsenal fans, as Saka limped off last night in England's pointless 2-1 defeat to Greece. Honestly, I wish international football was just fired in to the sun. I suppose it's my own [...]

How do we get 2022 Gabriel Jesus back?

As you'd expect on the eve of the current Interlull, there's very little Arsenal news rumbling on at the moment - well, Arsenal men's news, that is. I am not really up to speed on much of the Women's stuff but I saw they lost to Bayern yesterday evening and after a disappointing draw against Everton, [...]

How much rotation will Arsenal see tonight against Atalanta?

Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]

Impressive Arsenal are looking ready for the big kick off

I watched the game at The Emirates from the comfort of my own home yesterday and it was the first one I’ve been able to catch live this pre season, so I will admit to quite a degree of excitement ahead of the match against Leverkusen yesterday evening. It was the return of Granit for [...]

Plenty of positives from Arsenal’s pre season performance

That's the second pre season game of the season done in the early hours of the morning my time and it was a 2-1 win for our lads against Erik "I AM FURIOUS ABOUT ARSENAL AND OFFSIDES" Ten Haag's Man United. You love to see it. He was apparently unhappy about our equaliser, which game [...]
