Happy Saturday and welcome to the weekend folks. Hope life is treating you all well. We had Arteta's presser yesterday and he seemed pretty fine and his usual self when talking about the team and player availability for Sunday, which is good. Gabriel apparent missed training since the Bayern game but Arteta didn't seem to [...]
Happy Thursday folks. Hope you're all recovered from the emosh of Tuesday night's Champions League encounter? One thing that I didn't touch on yesterday when I was still pretty raging, was how the tie is so finely balanced, so I thought I'd jot down some initial thoughts on that now. I do think the impact of [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing on this Tuesday morn? Are you glass half empty or glass half full kind of feeling? The reason I ask is after the new yesterday that Gabriel has withdrawn from the upcoming Brazilian national team friendlies that they have coming up over the next week. On the one hand [...]
The main news that I'm hearing about this morning is that Takehiro Tomiyasu has agreed a new deal with The Arsenal, as we move to tie down more of those trusted players that Arteta likes in his squad, per various sources yesterday. For me I think this is the right thing to do. He's a [...]
Matchday it is and it's a chance to keep pace with Liverpool and City. City play in the evening, Liverpool play at lunchtime and given the two opponents they have, I'm not expecting us to have anything beneficial come out of their two games, so we simply must do the business against Burnley in the [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Saturday. We've still got over 24 hours until we rock up at The London Stadium (one of the worst to get in and out of I've ever experienced, I have to say) and yesterday Arteta was doing his usual press conference stuff in the afternoon to give us an insight [...]
Well, here we are, ladies and gents. Time to strap ourselves in because this is the big one and this is a test that this Arsenal team simply must pass if it wants to be in contention for the top honours going in to the end of the season. The period over Christmas in which [...]
When I penned my thoughts yesterday morning about how the game would be another difficult to break down Forest side, that we’d be up against a team who wanted to rapid transition counter and a side that would want us to have the ball, I don’t think I envisioned a first half that was quite [...]
Today we'll have Mikel Arteta's press conference ahead of the Liverpool game and he'll be asked about the game, injury updates, but also about the current profligacy in front of goal and how he overcomes it. My hope is that with a glint in his eye he comes out swinging. My hope is that he [...]
This season is going to be one heck of a rollercoaster, if the first half of the season is anything to go by, after a weekend in which we find ourselves back on top after an excellent victory over Brighton yesterday lunchtime. I say this because this time last week we were ruing our missed [...]
