Morning folks, hope you're all good, albeit rather chilly if you're in the UK like I am. My soft desk-jockey exterior wasn't cut out for anything other than mild incremental weather and so the fact that it is in the minus here in London isn't exactly conducive to me being at my most productive. So [...]

Arsenal and injuries: we can’t have nice things

Ahh balls. Big sh*tty balls. Thomas Partey has a hamstring strain. Are we not allowed nice things? Is that what it is? Isn't it the most Arsenal thing ever to sign a player with no history of injury (I sent the link around of his record on Transfermarkt record after the Tottenham game and on [...]

Luiz, Tierney and Arsenal controlling themselves

Morning all. It's Friday and I'm still irked about what happened on Tuesday night. What about you? I suppose some of that also has to do with the fact that yesterday early evening the FA released a statement to say that David Luiz's appeal for his red card was ignored. I don't think any of [...]

Taking a point and keeping the run: Arsenal and United share the spoils

You can't win 'em all. Sometimes you have to accept that and yesterday's draw against United, whilst being at home, was definitely one that I'd say "I'll take that" given the circumstances. And those circumstances were that we had a number of injuries, we faced a side who have picked up lots of points and [...]

Will injuries determine how far Arsenal go this season?

Morning gooners and welcome to another week. Last night I made a roast dinner which took a while as it was roast pork, but during said meal preparation, I decided to watch the Tiny Totts against West Ham. I missed the start but managed to switch on right at the moment in which the Totts [...]

Arteta impresses again, but admits to some challenges, amidst uncertainty

Plenty to get through today, after Arteta had his press conference ahead of Sunday’s dead rubber, the Premier League fixtures for next season were confirmed, as well as the disappointing news that Mustafi will miss the cup final due to the injury he picked up in the Semi Final last week. You really have to [...]

Arsenal’s Mari stance is spot on

By |2020-01-29T07:37:05+00:00January 29th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

So it appears the transfer Merry-go-round for Pablo Mari has once again swung around Arsenal's way, as reports from Brazil last night were saying that Flamengo have accepted Arsenal's desires and will make the deal for him to join us this January, one that will only be a loan with an 'option' to buy rather [...]

Is Monchi all that for Arsenal?

Today's blog starts off with a nod to a career that should have been, after Abou Diaby officially retired from football at just 32 years of age. In nine years at Arsenal he showed us mere fleeting glances of what could have been a fantastic career that was cut short by a malicious 'leave one [...]

Morning fellow absorbers of Arsenal-related information. I hope you are well and enjoying the countdown to Christmas. As always it's about excesses for us in the western world; from food to beverages and everything in between, but it's also about the excess of football and once again we find ourselves gorging on that with another [...]

A patched up Arsenal must ‘get by’

Howdy all, hope you are well on this Tuesday. A Tuesday in which hopefully Barcelona knock out the Totts and so we really can have a chuckle at the advertising they did about Champions League football. But anyway, that's them and they're not worthy of much airtime. Today in minded of the words that Bernd [...]
