NLD nerves kicking in as Nacho departs

Blimey I'm tired. Plus I have a banging headache. I'm sat in a park in Manchester at 9am and my only friend right now is fresh air. It's a good friend to be honest. I will say this though; the thought of the impending North London Derby isn't helping my current situation. The fixture gives [...]

Emery’s NLD dilemmas: Monreal, front three and tactical set up

Unai's pre match presser had a wee bit of unexpected positive news yesterday, as it seems that Holding, Bellerin and Tierney might just be all back in to full training after the international break. Of course they're likely to not be ready for first team action for a few weeks, but it looks like Holding [...]

Alexis’ failure is delicious; Unai’s success is needed

Well if ever there was a failed move between two top clubs it was that of Alexis Sanchez who, in chasing the megabucks, finds himself an unwanted man and about to be shipped to the barren wasteland known as Serie A. A tenth month loan deal in which United have to shell out £6million during [...]

Özil and Ceballos can work together

Apparently Roma are ready to put Shkodran's current limbo out of his misery by offering him a loan deal for a year, if you believe reports in Italy, which often we don't. This is about on cue I'd imagine. It's 21st August and the European transfer deadline day is - broadly speaking as they are [...]

‘Free hits’ and good PR – everything’s ok at Arsenal at the moment

Much like Leicester against Chelski on Sunday, I found myself quietly celebrating Wolves' draw at home to Man United last night, as already those teams that you'd call 'rivals' are dropping points. However, upon reflection, the fact it was Leicester and Wolves did make me worry a little bit, because those are two teams who [...]

Is the Arsenal squad getting more balance about it?

Welcome to another Monday folks. I watched yesterday's game between Chelski and Leicester and although I found myself chuckling in to my lamb shank I'd prepared for evening meal, upon reflection I shouldn't have been chuckling as hearty, because Leicester are no mugs and they'll pick up plenty of points this season. They play decent [...]

Ceballos and Willock impress as we get 3 points against a physical Burnley

Well, that was an interesting lunchtime spent yesterday afternoon, wasn't it? Actually, probably not, because like Arsenal like to do I chipped off most of the fingernails I had with my teeth in the last ten minutes or so. It's not that we were massively troubled and it's not like Burnley were overly quality, but [...]

Emery’s new signing selection dilemma

Happy Friday all. I have a slightly sore head, what with Thursday being the new Friday and my working running a 'welcome to the company' drinks for all of the new people that have recently joined the business (of which I am one). It's great fun, is midweek drinking, until you wake up the next [...]

Iwobi needed a reboot, we need a new captain

Alex Iwobi opens up and tells Sky Sports that he's always been seen as the youngster and now wants to set his own agenda. Fair play to him I see and having experienced something similar in my working life I can kind of understand why he might want to try something else. I worked for [...]
