Yesterday I saw the news emanating from a few sources that Thomas Partey is close to a return to the side and that the club are potentially earmarking the Nottingham Forest game as a match in which he could play a part. My first reaction was a Futurama Professor Farnsworth-style "Good news everyone!" reaction. We have [...]

I don't know about you guys, but when I saw that Thomas Partey was an unused substitute in the game against Angola yesterday evening, my initial thought was of relief. After all, if he's made the bench, then he must be available to be used, right? I mean, otherwise if he isn't fit to play [...]

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 [...]

Howdy peeps - y'all good? I had a lot of work meetings on yesterday and whilst I'm happy to have the game on in the background when it's internal, having externals in and them occasionally hearing Clive Tyldesley's voice in the background, is probably a step too far to be honest. It didn't sound like [...]

Is it time for the ‘after Partey’?

Couple of days away from blogging for me over the last two; the first was because of a super-early get up to head off to an all company away day and so I didn't have the chance to, but the second - yesterday - was due in large part to the big hangover I had [...]

Some rest for some Arsenal players is coming

Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday - hope we're all feeling grand? In the UK it has somewhat unexpectantly become a bank holiday this weekend because of the Queen's funeral, which means I'm up north visiting the in-laws, looking out on to a crystal clear Northumbrian morning as I type today. It's quite peaceful. I [...]
