Round one of ‘Arsenal international damage report’ complete

This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]

Time to ask some Tomiyasu questions?

Happy Wednesday folks. How we all doing? A bit better than poor ol' Tomiyasu, who the club confirmed yesterday had undergone surgery on his knee and he will be out for the season. Such a shame. Such a big blow to such a good player, but sadly we're now in to the territory where we [...]

Time to ask a question about Tomiyasu?

Morning Gooners, we all ok? I went out last night and hand a skin-full and my head is pounding, so please forgive me if today's blog looks a little rough around the edges; even tapping at the keyboard is painful right now ;-) We should get some kind of press conference / team news update [...]

Tough trip to the Cottage after Arsenal’s midweek exploits

Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]

Arsenal’s availability options have unearthed a surprising benefit – Martinelli up top

With Arsenal not playing until tomorrow afternoon, it is expected to be a quiet one from an Arsenal news perspective, I expect. Although because the team played on Thursday night in Lisbon, there will inevitably be some questions over some of the absentees for that game, because apparently there's been an illness bug going around [...]

Injuries and collapses of the past must not haunt Arsenal of today

Happy Friday folks. How are we all doing? Do you know, with all of the joy of the Arsenal game on Wednesday, I completely forgot that there were FA Cup games going on and as a result I completely missed that the Scum got knocked out to Sheffield United. Hahaha. I remember ready a messaged [...]

The “yeah but Arsenal haven’t had many injuries” fallacy

By |2023-02-23T08:11:54+00:00February 23rd, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, injuries, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

I feel like talking about something that has really been bugging me over the last few weeks and months, in relation to the way in which Arsenal are perceived, particularly by fans from other clubs. I've seen this narrative appearing since just before the World Cup, which has perpetuated through Christmas and then right up [...]

West Ham preview: Arsenal need to avoid the counter

Happy Boxing Day people. But more importantly: MERRY MATCH DAY! It's finally upon us. We are finally rid of  international football and tonight we return to action at home to a West Ham side sitting  in 16th in the table and whose form  was a little ropey before they went in to the World Cup [...]

West Ham could be as affected by the World Cup as Arsenal could

Ever since Gabriel Jesus' injury and subsequent confirmation from Arsenal that he's undergone surgery in England, my mind has flipped in to "bring our lads home" mode, in terms of this World Cup. So whilst Granit Xhaka will be hurting this morning after the humbling the Swiss  took against Portugal, I can't help but look [...]

Feeling for Emile…

By |2022-09-30T08:22:37+01:00September 30th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

There's only one place to start this morning, given that Arteta doesn't face the media until this afternoon, which is the disappointing news that Emile Smith Rowe has undergone surgery on that groin problem that has kept him in and out of the team all season and will now not be available until after the [...]
