I watched about 15 minutes of the England game yesterday - enough to see Shaw score for England - before flicking over and watching something else whilst I was cooking. I'm sorry but I just cannot get in to international football until there are the big international competitions and even then I probably only watch [...]
Morning folks. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Another Arsenal-less Saturday it is, although let's be honest, we're going to have to get used to that in the immediate future, because in February we only have two matches to play! I know it's a short month, but it won't feel like it from an Arsenal [...]
This will most likely be a very short ‘check in’ post today, because it was the wife’s birthday yesterday and so a) I didn’t watch the game yesterday as we had a family meal, and b) I’m blogging on my phone for about 10 minutes before we have to drive home. But by all accounts [...]
So it appears that Granit Xhaka's injury also included a bone break as well, which is the reason he's been out a little longer than we originally feared when he went down injured. Obviously that's also the reason why - despite the fact he's been seen in training and is doing ball work already - [...]
Well the good news appears to be that the squad injury update ahead of the game against Watford on Sunday is positive. Only Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka remain doubts. For Xhaka the main worry is in the wording from the clubs medical team that he is expected to be in full training in the [...]
It appears the prognosis on Xhaka's knee ligament injury was worse than we thought and the club confirmed yesterday that he'll be out for three months as a result of the damage that was done in the North London Derby. It's a bitter blow for him and a blow for us. I spoke about it [...]
I bet Mikel Arteta thinks he’s got some kind of mini curse, because no sooner has he got a full strength squad to choose from, no sooner has he got his selection he can decide exactly based on the game that is being played, does he have one of his key men taken away from [...]
It's started already. As I tap away at my Macbook the time has only just ticked over to 8am in the morning and I'm already feeling those North London Derby day butterflies. The visit of the Scum at the carpet later on this afternoon and I'm already a bit of a nervous wreck. I don't [...]
morning folks and welcome to the end of the working week (for me at least), and the start of the weekend, the most nervy of weekends in the Arsenal football calendar. Well, when the fixtures come out, that is. Why is this so? Well to me I know we have a pretty crap record at [...]
So it looks like Granit Xhaka is on the verge of "FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!" as they say in the ol' US of A when wanting their politicians to stay on. Only this doesn't feel like a groundswell of Arsenal public opinion that will see the Swiss international captain get a slight pay [...]
