Arsenal stroll in to the Cottage and out with three points

Well now, I must confess, I didn't expect to get such a comfortable afternoon for the Arsenal players in West London yesterday, that's for sure. Fulham were a side difficult to play against, especially on their own ground, with a week off and us having travelled to Portugal to play midweek too. This felt like [...]

Tough trip to the Cottage after Arsenal’s midweek exploits

Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]

Arsenal’s availability options have unearthed a surprising benefit – Martinelli up top

With Arsenal not playing until tomorrow afternoon, it is expected to be a quiet one from an Arsenal news perspective, I expect. Although because the team played on Thursday night in Lisbon, there will inevitably be some questions over some of the absentees for that game, because apparently there's been an illness bug going around [...]

Saka’s moment of magic sets Arsenal on the way to three points against Everton

After 30 minutes of the game yesterday I glanced over to the touchline. Sean Dyche was there in his technical box, stood still, arms folded, looking on. I couldn't see his face from where I sit, but I could make a pretty educated guess as to what the expression was: pleased. He'd sent his charges [...]

The easiest 1-0 Arsenal ever had

That win against Leicester yesterday felt like one of the most dominant 1-0 victories you are ever likely to witness. If you just look at it from a scoreline perspective you'd probably think that it was a gritty, nervy, hard-fought and difficult win away from home, grinding out the three points and getting the hell [...]

The Arsenal roller-coaster continues at Villa: What a week it’s been

Life comes at you fast. And football comes at you faster. Bear with me on this today - it might be a long ol' blog, because there's so much to unpick from yesterday and the last week in general. One week ago I was sat here tapping away at my computer, penning some thoughts about [...]

Arsenal need to pivot quickly after latest Caicedo rebuff

Welcome to Transfer Deadline Day week folks. Strap yourselves in, because the next 40ish hours or so are going to be rather trying, as usual, I suspect. I said I wasn't going to get too connected to the Moises Caicedo stuff, but after flying back from Newcastle last night hand having a solid hour and [...]

Arsenal’s ‘continuous improvement’ against Brighton

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 [...]

Imperious Arsenal impress against West Ham

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 [...]

Paying Martinelli his worth

Morning gooners,  how we feeling today, eh? Are we feeling good? Chipper? Looking forward to the festive period? Mine starts today and I'm off work until 3rd January, so the probability of my usual earlier morning chuntering on is likely to be replaced by a slightly belated service. Especially after I start tucking in to [...]
