So we've lost Hector for the whole season, confirmed by the club yesterday evening, which now means that some kind of solution at right back needs to be found by a unai Emery. It's a bitter blow for the team because it was obvious the difference in class that Hector brought to the team when [...]

Playing Özil could be the difference; the wing backs are vital against Chelsea today

Happy Saturday folks. It's match day which is always a lovely old distraction and today, after what feels like a long week of turmoil and rumour, we get some actual football to sink our teeth in to. Chelski Cole to our gaff and it's weird because although it's essentially a season definer for The Arsenal, [...]

Full fitness at Arsenal: Unai – play your best team!

We have a load of fit players again! It's some sort of miracle! We can field 'actual' players in their natural positions on Saturday! What a thrill! Let's be honest, it's been long enough though, because for the last month and a bit we've patched up the team as injury and suspension kicked in and [...]

Find Hector a Walcott upgrade

Good to see Harry Kane continuing to fight for parity with the top European Leagues by embracing the way of modern football and diving his way towards a Tiny Totts victory yesterday. His 'exaggerated contact' and the fact he's English will no doubt earn him a free pass by the English press, but let's not [...]

Tactical change the difference against Bournemouth

A happy Monday to be had by all us Gooners today, after getting that draw monkey off our backs and getting back to winning ways with a hard fought 2-1 win away to Bournemouth. I'd said before the game I thought it would be a really tough one and I wasn't wrong; Bournemouth under Eddie [...]

Press high, force Fulham into mistake, and minimise your own, Arsenal

A 12pm kick off is a funny old thing. It's the earliest type of kick off you get in the Premier League and whilst I'm no fan of Sunday games anyway, I can tolerate these more because it still feels like you have something of a day after the team have played, although only if [...]

A weird result at Stamford Bridge – positives and frustrations

I feel weird writing about Arsenal this morning. Weird because I don't know exactly how I feel. Often I will feel happiness, elation, anger, sadness, frustration, but today I feel a little bit of everything. And that's weird. Ultimately I guess the emotion that overrides all is sadness because we once again lost at Stamford [...]

Deadline day looms as defensive questions are asked

Well it's all been pretty much confirmed and after yesterday's Kroenke news I've obviously had my say in yesterday's blog. This morning I wake up resigned to the fact we are powerless to do anything. There are talks of protests, or not turning up to the first game, leaving the seats empty and showing Kroenke [...]

Arsenal’s final dress rehearsal, poor Sead and Iwobi’s pivotal season

I'm at a wedding today. Which is going to be really awks when I put my headphones in at 7pm to watch the Arsenal v Lazio game on Arsenal Player. Oh well, people will organise life-changing events when the last pre season friendly is on... Tonight will be fascinating I think. It'll be intriguing because [...]
