Tonight Arsenal play Man City in the League Cup and surely I’m not alone in thinking: Meh. I mean sure, I want Arsenal to win and sure, it would be great for morale, but with a few players out through injury and a hectic Christmas period that will see us play Chelski on Boxing Day, [...]
Morning folks. This is my first blog for weeks. I took some time away and decided that Arsenal was causing me too much discomfort and so I avoided watching a few matches, checked scores at the end, that sort of thing. But I couldn't completely stay away and watched the Southampton game in full and, [...]
Ahh man. Yesterday writing ab out Arsenal was tough. Some days I bound down the stairs and can't wait to spill some virtual thoughts on the page, but right now it feels like a massive slog and i'll be honest with you, part of me wonders whether I will bother. Like the football itself I [...]
Morning all. It's another matchday and, I have to tell you I never thought i'd say this, but the Europa League represents some welcome respite from what has become the monotony of our domestic campaign. We are away to Molde in the group stages and tonight's game this evening represents an opportunity to try to [...]
The squad flew out to Norway yesterday afternoon and I have to say I've never been more pleased to see so many young faces board the plane. I realise that the Europa League squads are massive and five subs enables the manager to name a bigger squad and give more players game time, but with [...]
Social media - Twitter specifically - enabled me to meet a lot of the friends I now know well and when we can get back to the Emirates I will be joining to watch the games regularly. It has been valuable for me in that regard. But unfortunately I do despair of it at times. [...]
The only place to start this morning is at the beginning of the second half yesterday against Leeds, because the idiotic actions of Nicolas Pepe and his headbutt to get himself sent off was a pivotal moment that cost Arsenal, or certainly could have done, had we not been able to muster a decent enough [...]
I believe I have some very real fears and trepidation about today’s game at Elland Road. The preparation the Arsenal players have had in the build up to this hasn’t been ideal, with injuries, COVID and the form of some of our players, plus I have some bad memories of defeats going up there I [...]
Another one bites the dust. Yep, there's another Arsenal player who will be missing from the ability to be selected this weekend when we play Leeds on Sunday and that player is Sead Kolasinac, who tested positive for COVID-19 after travelling and playing for Bosnia in this latest round of pointless and utterly stupid international [...]
Well, it was always going to happen but yesterday it was confirmed: An Arsenal player has contracted COVID-19 and will now need to self isolate for two weeks. Mohammed Elneny is the victim of the virus and once again what this has done is highlight to me at least that these internationals are even worse [...]
