To continue the theme for this season, which feels like a bit of a hangover from last season's luck, we find ourselves once again asking: Are we not allowed nice things? Arsenal confirmed that Martin Odegaard had suffered medial collateral ligament damage on Saturday with his clash of knees in the game against West Ham. [...]
So here we are folks - we're now immersed deep into the mire that is the September international break, with players now away with their national teams and Arsenal's doing all kind of rain dances, prayers and voodoo witchcraft tricks in the hope that we get them all back in one piece. We've already suffered [...]
Happy Hincapie Saturday folks! Although Arteta was tight-lipped on that arrival, the Ornbomb has already dropped and it appears we're loan-optioning him for the season and clearly we'll drop the actual cash on Leverkusen's lap in the summer of 2026, which makes sense given that we probably don't have the cash lying around to make [...]
Today I thought I'd take a bit of time to pay homage to our former (almost) Scottish left back Kieran Tierney, who is returning to his homeland and Celtic in the summer, following almost six year's at the club, having signed in September 2019. It's his birthday today too. So happy birthday to KT. You've [...]
As you'd expect it's a wee bit quiet out there on the Arsenal front, save for the odd spurious transfer rumour, although I have to say my thinking has been dominated by the potential absence of Declan Rice for this weekend. Having been pretty clear of most of the Champions League chasing pack all season, [...]
With Liverpool ostensibly going to win the league this weekend, naturally all of the talk has been about them, the great work that Arne Slot has done, how impressive they have been. So naturally with Arsenal not playing this weekend, that's taken a little bit of my focus today rather than the usual look at [...]
Today, this most holiest of Saints Days - that of the feast of St Totteringham - should be a day of mild celebration and snickering about a club in the mud that can no longer finish above us. It has come rather early this year, but nevertheless, we should be chuckling away at the plight [...]
It wasn't until Arteta's post-match comments after the Fulham win that I realised that this Saturday lunchtime we could be travelling to Fulham with an entire defensive back line missing depending on what he says in his presser today. Calafiori, Gabriel, White and Tomiyasu all out. Timber came off and if he's missing you can [...]
Is there anything more wholesome to see than a Bukayo Saka smiling back at you from the club cameraman's picture at London Colney, to confirm that he's back in full training? And I have to say, you have to marvel at the club's medical team for their accuracy on this return. Now, of course, he [...]
I didn't really touch too much on comments in the wake of the United game about Bukayo Saka, made by Arteta, when asked about him. But I suspect just to re-iterate the situation he'll definitely be asked about the forward today in his press conference. Mikel's comments on Sunday were that his progress was good [...]
