Elneny’s absence shows reckless internationals; no five sub rules is a DISADVANTAGE to Arsenal

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 [...]

Partey, Xhaka and Ceballos – let’s see if that midfield trio can work

Still not a lot going on in the Arsenal world today, well, other than the ladies football in which the Arsenal women drew yesterday. But I've never really been able to get myself 'in' to it to be honest. It's the same with the youth football too. I want players coming through, it is great [...]

Taking the ‘rough’ with the ‘smooth’ with new manager Arteta

By |2020-11-10T08:10:42+00:00November 10th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|2 Comments

I'm still trying to figure out in my head why I'm still mad about the Villa game. We're now two days after the defeat and usually after a blog post mortem and generally trying to fill my life with other stuff, I am able to just put defeats in a metaphorical box, move on, prep [...]

Cowardly Arsenal outfought by Villa

That was a disgusting performance last night from Arsenal. It was cowardly, lacked intensity and, frankly, should be worthy of some serious examination and change by the club in the cold light of day this morning. If last week it was time to hold our hands up and admit that Arteta got the approach and [...]

Arsenal need to find an answer to Villa’s low block and counter

And here we are at another match day folks. It’s a late kick off, a disgusting ‘pay-per-view’ kick off, with a return of a former player we all know and love in the shape of Emi Martinez, as we line up against Aston Villa at The Emirates tonight. We all know Emi is having the [...]

Matchday number three in the Europa League brings about it a team named after the stuff growing in Tottenham's trophy cabinet. Yep, Molde are coming to town, which means we've got an opportunity to see how our team stacks up against the current reigning Norwegian Champions who currently sit second in the Eliteserien league. And [...]

Have you bought in to Project Arteta?

Afternoon folks and welcome to another weekend, this one on the eve of what feels like it might be #Lockdown2 in the UK unfortunately. It's going to be another tough winter and for those who are struggling to look for a new job, like Huss Fahmy, it might be a difficult Christmas. Yes indeed, the [...]

Rotate the heck out of Arsenal tonight, Arteta…

By |2020-10-29T08:08:18+00:00October 29th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Europa League, injuries, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Morning all and welcome to matchday Thursday. Now, there are two schools of thought when it comes to how we approach today's game: Name a strong team, batter our opponent, then sub off as many key players as possible for Sunday's game away to Man United Name a completely rotated side, run the risk of [...]

Dundalk ahead, but my mind is on being Mike Dean’d at Old Trafford

Morning all and welcome to another middle of the week nothing-a-thon. I am of course talking about Arsenal and perhaps unsurprisingly given the general level of malaise felt around our performance last weekend, it is all a little quiet from the club at the moment. I'm kinda ok with that though. Long gone are the [...]

Partey holding the midfield to unlock chance creation against Leicester?

Morning folks and happy match day. Well, it will be if we beat Leicester City tonight. If Jamie Vardy does what he always seems to do when we play them however, then it could be a very ‘unhappy’ match day. I have the nerves about this one tonight. Leicester maybe missing a few of their [...]
