Thomas Partey: Teaching us new things about modern day midfielders

By |2022-03-26T09:08:55+00:00March 26th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, midfield, premier league|1 Comment

Howdy folks and welcome to another Arsenaless weekend. They really do suck, don't they? International weekend's can be a blessing and a curse. If your team is having a shocker it proves welcome respite from the stress of knowing that you don't have to fall into a football pit of despair when your team plays. [...]

Where is The Tomiyasu? I must insist…

By |2022-02-08T08:03:49+00:00February 8th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Defence, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Just over 48 hours to go until our season starts up again and whilst I don't have the same excitement as we all do when the season starts proper for the first time in August every year, there is a little bit of nervous excitement that resides within me this morning. The final preparations are [...]

How the hell can Arsenal keep every player fit?

And so the saga ends. Relatively quicker than the Özil one that dragged out for two or three seasons, the Aubameyang saga was concluded within two months, as the club confirmed it had terminated the contract with the player by ‘mutual consent’. Whatever that means. And I say that because there are a myriad of [...]

Arsenal have weakened themselves this January – that is a fact.

Well here we are folks. The road ahead is as clear as day and so to is the list of players we will have available to us until the summer window opens up at the end of June. And I am sure you, as much as I, am disappointed with what has transpired this January. [...]

Should Arteta switch the formation up against Liverpool?

Blimey. Talk about so much #content you don't know where to even start, eh? Yesterday we got Mikel Arteta's press conference and there were some spicy and fantastic words said by the manager. Then we had wind of a bid from a Saudi Arabian team for Aubameyang. That was followed by the rumours of betting [...]

Arsenal climbing down from the morale high ground?

By |2022-01-15T09:04:29+00:00January 15th, 2022|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Rant|2 Comments

So now we know...Arsenal's hand has been played and the extent to which we have absentees has been laid bare, as the club confirmed yesterday afternoon that they've applied to the Premier League for a postponement of the match on Sunday against The Scum. Mikel Arteta spoke to the Arsenal website in the morning and [...]

COVID, injuries and refs: a little more equality and transparency needed

By |2021-12-28T09:28:15+00:00December 28th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

There's nothing more irritating to a football  fan than a perceived lack of transparency and equity in the game. As Arsenal fans we have felt it with situations like the Godfrey stamp on Tomiyasu, or the McArther boot of Saka in the Palace game at The Emirates. I have spoken of that feeling of a [...]

Arsenal must be more direct to beat the Leeds high press

By |2021-12-18T09:16:52+00:00December 18th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

This feels a little weird this morning because I'm writing a pre match preview of the game later on today between Leeds and The Arsenal, without really being 100% confident as to whether it will actually be going ahead, what with all of the COVID-19 problems causing matches left, right and centre to be cancelled [...]

What are we going to do about Thomas Partey?

By |2021-12-04T08:24:48+00:00December 4th, 2021|Arsenal FC, injuries, midfield, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

This morning I've woken up and the first thought popping in to my head is: "What are we going to do about Thomas Partey, eh?" I wonder if Arteta is thinking the same? Maybe, but maybe not, because perhaps he has more information about the Ghanaian that we do not have? Perhaps he is privy [...]

Squad sizes and players like Xhaka are important

By |2021-11-25T07:55:33+00:00November 25th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries, midfield, Mikel Arteta, premier league|2 Comments

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 - [...]
