Ahh man am I hungover. I got to Highbury & Islington tube station at around 12.35 - about an hour earlier than I normally do - so I could watch the City versus Liverpool game. What a waste of time that was. I hope the Scousers are that rubbish when they play us, although I [...]

Round one of ‘Arsenal international damage report’ complete

This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]

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 [...]

How do Arsenal unlock those stubborn low block defences?

Morning folks, how we all doing? Looking forward to tomorrow night's slugfest against Everton? Because let's face it, it will be a slugfest. It will be a gruelling, grinding, low-blocking, frustration of an evening as Everton try to double up on our wide forwards, they camp on the edge of their own box with bodies, [...]

The “yeah but Arsenal haven’t had many injuries” fallacy

By |2023-02-23T08:11:54+00:00February 23rd, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, injuries, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

I feel like talking about something that has really been bugging me over the last few weeks and months, in relation to the way in which Arsenal are perceived, particularly by fans from other clubs. I've seen this narrative appearing since just before the World Cup, which has perpetuated through Christmas and then right up [...]

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 [...]

Trying to hype the Nketiah ‘feels’

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?

By |2022-12-04T09:01:10+00:00December 4th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, injuries, internationals, Rant|3 Comments

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 [...]
