Lemar isn’t what we need right now

I'm not going to talk about that result last nights, or the fact it seems they're basically going to go unbeaten, so let's swiftly move on to what's happening with The Arsenal right now. It feels like even the FA Cup is conspiring against us to ruin weekends. Not only do we get enough of [...]

A turgid Premier League shines light on Sanllehi

When you realise how often some of the 'big teams' are screwing up at the moment at the top of the Premier League, it does make you wonder how Arsenal find themselves mid table with 24 games gone, because any sort of run of victories probably gets you in to the top four. How on [...]

Arsenal have a ‘free hit’ away at Chelsea tonight

On Saturday morning I was uber positive about Arsenal getting the result and all three points against Sheffield United at home. I thought that despite injuries, suspensions and recent misfortune on VAR, we'd manage to grab ourselves some precious points on our own turf. Unfortunately I hadn't bargained on the fact that the footballing gods [...]

We don’t take advantage at Arsenal

Morning folks. It's a good job this season is an utter write off, because otherwise we'd be proper fumin', eh? I am, of course, talking about the the complete bore-fest that was yesterday's 1-1 draw with a pretty average Sheffield Unite dream yesterday. They're average because apart from discipline, shape and a scrappy goal bouncing [...]

Kurzawa potential signing shows importance of overlapping full backs for Arteta

Morning folks. Looks like we're in for a left back then. An injury prone left back. A left back who has not been getting in to the PSG team and with whom the home fans are supposedly happy to see the back of. Doesn't exactly want the cockles of your heart, does it? The fact [...]

More injury questions for Arteta and Arsenal

You've got to love our collective optimism as Arsenal fans, followed by the 'edge of a cliff' melancholy, that comes as a result of Arsenal doing something slightly differently and out of the norm with the usual regime. I am, of course, talking about the press conference that took place yesterday. Arsenal's pre-game pressers are [...]

Usmanov’s Everton investment casts more shadows on KSE

I guess you can't really call it Arsenal news, but given that Alisher Usmanov was a shareholder at Arsenal until recently, it has a bit of Arsenal related to it, and certainly I think it has implications for the Premier League. Because Everton confirmed last night that Usmanov has invested £30million in naming rights for [...]

Lacazette needs to fix up and Arsenal need European football

So Dinos has now been confirmed as heading out the door on loan to Germany and the next question is when Eddie will be sent out on loan. I said my peace on that yesterday so I won't dwell on what happens in the next few weeks, but I'd be surprised if he's not even [...]

Arsenal need to be compact between the lines to beat Crystal Palace

Morning folks from a relatively wet Belfast, in which I'm treating The Management to a birthday weekend away to see the giant's causeway. It means I'm not sure if I'll get time to watch The Arsenal but I'll have to see if I can find a pub to watch it in at some stage I'm [...]

Irrational plotting on Arsenal’s top four hopes

I find it a little bit weird that even though we are mid-table fodder right now, I still look at those teams towards the top of the league and think "good" when things go against them, as if their misfortune might in some way benefit us. So the fact that Leicester City drew at home [...]
