Last night I afforded myself a little post match fist bump after it was confirmed that the Scum had been beaten by Burnley, meaning four defeats out of their last five, but this morning I am back on the Wagon of Fear as it is Arsenal's turn to play one of their games in hand against [...]

Arsenal’s young stars do the business in spite of refereeing madness

In the build up to the game in the pub beforehand, I was with Andrew, Neil and Jason and I spoke to the guys about how much I wanted the revenge for the first game of the season. Brentford caught us out with a physical display, on opening day, with players missing and then afterwards [...]

A very different Arsenal to line up against Brentford this time?

It's match day people! And it is the reverse of the opening game of the season, in which we succumbed to an excitable and motivated Brentford side who took advantage of our mixture of injuries and COVID situation in the Arsenal camp, to overcome us 2-0 in their new stadium. I drove past their stadium [...]

Keep yer statistical models, because it’s that confidence of momentum that I want

Thursday has come around and we are knocking down the door of the weekend once again. Perhaps it's because my work has been so busy, but these weeks appear to be flying by, which is good considering the lack of football we've had to endure. I think I read somewhere that there won't be a [...]

Tomiyasu’s return to the team is big for Arsenal. Here’s why…

Well, we all survived the over-commercialised nonsense that is Valentine's Day, so we can get on with our lives and focus on the really important things, like how Arsenal are preparing ahead of facing off against Brentford next weekend. The good news is that it looks like Tomiyasu is back in training and that is [...]

The state of refereeing and the unconscious bias against The Arsenal

Can we have a quick chat about referees? I feel I read blogs, watch videos and listen to podcasts of Arsenal fans, with all of us collectively having to repeat the phrase "Now, this isn't a conspiracy, but..." as a caveat when we speak about referees. We have to qualify any statement before going in [...]

A big hurdle to overcome for Arsenal against Wolves this week

By |2022-02-07T08:02:17+00:00February 7th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

A second Arsenal-less weekend passes us by and I think that whilst many of us were feeling a little relief at a bit of time away from The Arsenal after the frustrating draw followed by what felt like an even more frustrating transfer deadline day, this week represents opportunity, with our first game in over [...]

What’s the plan for Balogun?

Last night Middlesbrough dumped United out of the cup. I’d completely forgotten that this weekend was FA Cup weekend! It’s been erased from my memory after our Forest debacle, but at least there was some Arsenal connection, as Balogun played 60 minutes for Boro and by the sounds of it performed quite admirably. I didn’t [...]
